You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Chris Krebs; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. GorillaWarfare (talk) 03:00, 18 November 2020 (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.

Accidental ping
Hi Yousef. As I was archiving a discussion on my talk page, the system pinged you by accident. Just wanted to let you know what was up. Sorry again! D🐶ggy54321 (let's chat!) 16:03, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Your edit at Talk:2021 Atlanta spa shootings
Was there a reason you just erased the section I added and replaced it with your own? --LaserLegs (talk) 15:24, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I just saw this now. There was a reason.  The reason was that I screwed up.  Sorry about that.Yousef Raz (talk) 21:52, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Nitin Natarajan


The article Nitin Natarajan has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "No indication of notability. Fails GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your recent editing history at Tae Johnson 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 you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page 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 three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please be more careful
In this edit you add a template in the middle of a quoted passage, asking that the quote be altered. You also did this here. Per WP:MEATBOT, you are responsible for all of your edits, even if they are done with the assistance of automated tools. I realize that you are involved in a heated dispute about this language on a totally unrelated page, but please be careful to not accidentally damage other parts of wikipedia to make a WP:POINT. Thanks. Hipocrite (talk) 14:27, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * @Hipocrite, I appreciate you pointing out my mistake. I will try to prevent that mistake again.Yousef Raz (talk) 18:38, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for trying to make Wikipedia a more civil and rational place
It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it. Better luck next time! If that's not enough, have 25,000 Wikipoints, for whatever they're worth. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:52, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * @InedibleHulk Thanks. Maybe I can get a kazoo at Chuck E Cheese with those points.Yousef Raz (talk)

About making room to undo page move from USS Grunion (SS-216) (target article has unnecessary disambiguation)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give making room to undo page move from USS Grunion (SS-216) (target article has unnecessary disambiguation) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into USS Grunion. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. &emsp;—&#8239;sbb&#8239;(talk) 04:08, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

I don't know any other way of moving an article.Yousef Raz (talk) 20:33, 21 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Yeah, these messages were posted here automatically by the CfD tab. They were posted here because you were the "creator" of those articles when you moved/renamed them. I moved them back, because ship articles should not be disambiguated if they were the only ship with that name (WP:SHIPNAME). So now USS Grunion (SS-216) and USS Blackfish (SS-221) point to USS Grunion and USS Blackfish, respectively. &emsp;—&#8239;sbb&#8239;(talk) 06:48, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
