Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Black Flag, Western Australia, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   04:48, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Black Flag, Western Australia 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Black Flag
The edit history of this article is now getting quite confusing, and your own contributions are showing a limited understanding about what WP:ABOUT.

Perhaps you need to ask for help, rather than adding unsubstantiated material, and also potential material that is inadequately referenced, at the same time calling out other material as being inadequate.

As it is WP:SPA suggests you havent edited other items at all. Try clarifying exactly what it is you hope to do. As it is the Black Flag article now lacks adequate explanation of a number of issues. JarrahTree 01:52, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Black Flag
Would you computer geeks please find something better to do, I tried adding legitimit information about this area gleaned from a book I read, It's publicized and widely available ans I suggest you geeks read it before telling me the information is unreferenced and unreliable, the Author discovered the Black Flag area and gave the true explanation for the place name which you geeks can't seem to handle.

geeks could be taken many ways. You are trying to edit a wikipedia article, and when you respond with a poorly spelt response, you could actually ask for help so your point from Sligo can be inserted into the article. That needs help. First WP:AGF and WP:NPA.


 * First the item you read was: -




 * what could help you, is if you find the page number - your job - you read the book...
 * and then the words from that page that verify your claim of what he has written.


 * Btw Landgate claim in their website: Black Flag -


 * The goldfields townsite of Black Flag, now abandoned, takes its name from the Black Flag gold find, discovered in 1893. The townsite was gazetted in 1897, but it is not known why the place was named Black Flag.


 * which means that Sligo makes a claim, but others do not record such a claim as something that can be verified.

And that is an important thing about an on-line encyclopedia - there is the need for WP:V and WP:RS for WP:CITE. Thanks. JarrahTree 02:20, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
