May 2018[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Verona does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 12:54, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

June 2018[edit]

Hello, I'm Compassionate727. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Verona, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 17:09, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

December 2020[edit]

Your recent editing history at Ceolwulf II of Mercia 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—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—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Ceolwulf II of Mercia) for a period of 31 hours for continuing to add unsourced information even after warnings. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Doug Weller talk 19:41, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What I object to is people outright undoing your edits when they contain easily verifiable information, when they could just as easily have devoted the effort to verifying it themselves. It comes across as petty, spiteful, and unconstructive. But w/e. Pedants gonna pedant. Fuck me for trying to contribute, right? A half-done job is better than one not done at all. Basileios III (talk) 20:23, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. What you could have done is suggested it on the talk page. Or at least once you were reverted look for sources. Anyone can claim there are sources. Doug Weller talk 13:38, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
