Your citations
See my edit summary, only one of them, "Fictional Storytelling in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean and Beyond" meets WP:RS and we don't use urls for books as sources. See Help:Referencing for beginners. Make sure you list the page numbers that back your text. Doug Weller talk 14:01, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --Fama Clamosa (talk) 10:55, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Al-Jahiz, you may be blocked from editing. not just unsourced, contradicted the existing source. Doug Weller  talk 11:07, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Mu'awiya I while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 09:24, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Theories about Alexander the Great in the Quran, Mu'awiya I, Al-Jahiz, and Barbary Lion (partly on this range). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ☿  Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 09:28, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Whodatttt! Your additions to Barbary Lion have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 09:35, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

If you continue to edit logged out there really is no choice but to block you
Let me make this very clear. First, there is WP:DUCK."If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck". It's obvious what you are doing and the IPs you are using. But there is also WP:CHECKUSER. You could be blocked right now (not by me as I'm involved with reverting you). Checkuser, usually called CU, can easily show the IPs you are using and they can be blocked. It's your choice. Doug Weller talk 13:09, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
