journal citations
lots of students who write termpapers rely on Wikipedia footnotes and citations so we need to follow WP:5P5 and avoid strange citation methods that are never used by historians and can only mislead and embarrass students if they try to copy them. Many journals have lots of "editors" and the standard practice at Wikipedia and in the academic media is to NOT include them in citations to articles in these journals. Likewise place of publication is notr used in citing journals. Rjensen (talk) 09:45, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at George V. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 07:38, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. ''You've been told by at least three editors not to continue with edits that add editors, publishers or publication-places of journals. It is disruptive to continue with the same edits after being asked to stop multiple times. In line with WP:BRD and WP:CONSENSUS, the previous version of the articles have precedence.''

 * I know it doesn't show but I'm terrified; but nonsense aside, I don't agree with you at all because those parameters are available by this platform for a reason, and they can be added if available, the more complete a bibliographic source, the better; ESPECIALLY, in articles where the sources are just a title and a year. So far you have been unable to tell me why should these parameters should not be used by me and instead just resorted to copy and paste generic summaries of guidelines and also went looking for other edits to other articles to also undo my edits in those as well, including that of punding where you restored a past edition half the size which had issues with a complete lack of bibliography.

Names
A request. Would you mind 'not' addressing yourself as Carlos, in your posts? You user-name will suffice. Using both names can be confusing to others. GoodDay (talk) 17:23, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Scuttling of the French fleet at Toulon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Berkeley. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Your edits
Hi, since your return, you seem have unfortunately fallen back into your old habits of adding reference details that are unhelpful or sometimes even wrong. For example in this edit [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wallace_Fard_Muhammad&diff=prev&oldid=1069137905] you added Nancy Dubuc as the editor for Vice News. However the reference is to something published in February 2013. Our article suggests Dubuc was probably working for the History Channel in February 2013 (before moving to become CEO & president of it's parent in June) so it seems fairly unlikely she was an editor for Vice News when the citation was pubished. Indeed I see no indication she's ever been an editor anywhere, she seems to have been more involved in the publicity, production and administrative side of things. Notably, it sounds like she went from A&E to become the CEO of Vice Media, and there's no indication she ever otherwise worked for Vice News, so I find it unlikely she was an editor there even if she was an editor elsewhere. You also added New York City, New York, United States as the publication place for the New York Times which while not incorrect, as per previous discussion is generally considered unhelpful. Not all of you additions were wrong, for example, changing the name to Michael Muhammad Knight seems to be correct. You really need to listen to what you were told in October and stop adding unnecessary or worse, incorrect, details. Where you are still unsure, please seek help at an appropriate place like WP:Teahouse or WP:Help Desk. Nil Einne (talk) 17:06, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

After this warning, you have continued disruptively editing by ignoring requests to stop and continuing a series of edits despite a request not to. Please do not add irrelevant place details as you did here. Do not add wikilinks for publication places. Per Template:Cite book, this parameter is only rarely linked. It is not necessary or desirable to add publishers, places or editors of journals, as you did here. Multiple page ranges should use "pp" not "p" (see PP). If you continue to disrupt wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. DrKay (talk) 18:03, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry buddy, I had no idea I was forbidden from using the parameters that are available for anyone to use and which are described in the official Wikipedia guide for sources templates; but I believe you when you say it's wrong and I shall never mention the place of publication of a source ever again (although I admit I do disagree with your argument that it shouldn't be done just because nobody does it, that sounds like a deficient justification).
 * But, by the way, I didn't receive a 'warning' or at least I seriously doubt it was because it was just a friendly clarification and the person who wrote it even complimented some of my edits. The Exterminating Angel (talk) 19:56, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
