Traffic collision
Hello, I reverted your change to the Traffic collision article because your edit did not agree with what the source said. Dawnseeker2000  18:07, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for informing. The WHO article is erroneous; it should have read 1869, so I have replaced that cite with another one from the Mary Ward article. Maybe they confused the year with the Bridget Driscoll case? Yekshemesh (talk) 02:52, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks for the details. That source is a nice addition to the article. Dawnseeker2000   03:37, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Beach Street, George Town, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page OCBC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

British Empire article
Hello. I saw your recent edit on this article and, having checked the cited references, I noted that it was a necessary correction. I was, therefore, rather surprised to see it reverted later the same day, especially when the reason given stated the opposite of what had been changed back. Consequently, I undid the reversion of your edit. Almost immediately, another editor reverted my undo. Since you spotted the error first, do you want to pitch in to defend your original edit? Blurryman (talk) 22:56, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I just saw your message! The edit war seems to be over for now, and the corrections stayed. Thanks, very thoughtful of you to contact me. :) Yekshemesh (talk) 11:17, 24 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Cheers! Seeing that your edit had been correct, I just couldn't stand back and let that go! Blurryman (talk) 22:40, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Macanese Patois, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kristang ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Macanese_Patois check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Macanese_Patois?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).

Yakovalı Hasan Paşa Mosque moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Yakovalı Hasan Paşa Mosque, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. buidhe 20:00, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

French conquest of Algeria
Regarding this edit: Of all the flags depicted in the various paintings of Algiers, the Ottoman flag is nowhere to be seen. The same goes for the various flags seized by the French after the conquest. As for the Deys, they were elected locally and governed Algeria independently from the Ottoman government.

Canada–United States relations
Hello I am reaching out to you on your talk page, to let you know that I undid your contribution to Canada–United States relations about the "longest border in the world". The reason I changed it, is that the citations don't seem to support this statistic. Please feel free to re-add that content, plus a citation in a reliable source (once you find one).

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Islam in Europe, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

I would prefer to simplify the sentence (per Lede) and just state "Muslim communities" like how it was before the link to Slavic Muslims was added, but your latest edit mentioning other centuries-old Muslim ethnic groups is fine as well. Thank you for this. Yekshemesh (talk) 16:49, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

August 2021
Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Firestar464 (talk) 07:41, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

September 2021
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Anti-Russian sentiment, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Renat 14:27, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

I don't know why you cancelled my modification of The Forgotten Battle. If you look at the Battle of the Scheldt article and the maps, you will see that the Canadian army, joined by Will Sinclair, was on the other side of the river at the time. It only gained a foothold on the island thanks to the victory at Flessing's Causeway, which is recounted in the film. It is therefore necessary to write (for example): "The British Airborne Soldiers later join Canadian Army forces advancing to the island of Walcheren", and not "The British Airborne Soldiers later join Canadian Army forces advancing on Walcheren island".

I am restoring my correction.

Requesting some article expansion help
Greetings,

Requesting your visit to Draft:Intellectual discourse over re-mosqueing of Hagia Sophia and article expansion help if you find your interest in the topic.

Thanks and warm regards

&#32;Bookku, &#39;Encyclopedias &#61; expanding information &#38; knowledge&#39; (talk) 13:53, 1 December 2021 (UTC) Your recent editing history at Armenian genocide shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in being blocked from editing&mdash;especially, as the page in question is currently under restrictions from the Arbitration Committee, if you violate the one-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than one revert on a single page with active Arbitration Committee restrictions within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the one-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the one-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Trivial details
"Trivial" here is in the sense that it has little long-term significance. It might be a detail of exactly how the events unfolded, but it literally changes nothing, and doesn't tell the reader anything that would be surprising (it's already written that Russia suppressed information about this and denied it). The fact that one news editor got banned from a social media channel seems entirely insignificant compared to everything else which is chronicled in the article.

Unjustified addition of false, unsourced claims disguised as sourced content
Hello, I'm GenoV84. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Racism in Italy, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The academic source that I provided doesn't state what you wrote in the lead section of the article; please provide a reliable reference for your dubious claims.

Hagia Sophia
Yekshemesh, the main issue with your edit to the lead is that it is grammatically incorrect. I explained this in my edit summary and have proposed a new version on the page. Let me know what you think. Hexcodes (talk) 23:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hexcodes, I don't see how my earlier edit is a comma splice. The lack of the verb "is" in the second limb of the sentence was what made the sentence ambiguous; in hindsight it would have worked even without the comma. That said, I've seen the latest changes you made and I think it's okay. Thanks for that. Yekshemesh (talk) 03:23, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
