Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Marryatville High School— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 04:29, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Immigration to Yemen

I undid your edit to Immigration to Yemen as both the links you added are 404, therefore unsourced. If the sources do not state "Yemen's economy is very stagnant" directly, the use of that statement would be WP:OR // WP:SYNTH and should not be used. Misplaced Pages has a policy of WP:VERIFIABILITY. Any significant additions (such as "Yemen's economy is very stagnant") should be WP:CITED with WP:RELIABLE SOURCES (RS). Thank you Jim1138 (talk)

Also Emirati people. This is an encyclopedia. Please use an encyclopedic WP:TONE. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 17:37, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Denisarona. I noticed that you made a change to an article, City of Mitcham, 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. Denisarona (talk) 10:40, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:192.43.227.18. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. —MelbourneStar☆ 11:39, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

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.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Favonian (talk) 16:15, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did on Pervez Musharraf. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 17:50, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Sharon Lee. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. For a person to be listed on a name-disambiguation page, yes, they have to be notable per our guidelines, WP:BIO. A citation to the person's own website is not sufficient, see WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:03, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Weegeerunner (talk) 18:09, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  Bishonen | talk 19:56, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

WP:SYNTH edits

Please stop adding unsourced content. This contravenes Misplaced Pages's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. OhNoitsJamie 20:43, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Please learn to read and look at the sources in the edits, before talking crap. Thank you.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:54, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Alien vs. Predator (film)

What you are putting into the Alien vs. Predator (film) article is not "plot", it is a comparison with another film. That is original research and not permitted. Unless you have a source that does this it cannot stay. --Escape Orbit 18:34, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Saudia Arabia. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Escape Orbit 18:41, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi. You seem to have a misunderstanding about a few things. Please read the below and I can help.

• Linking to a copyright violation copy of a film is not acceptable on Misplaced Pages.
• You looking at a film, saying "That's the Eastern Columbia Building building" and then using that film to cite content on Misplaced Pages isn't good enough. The reader is still reliant on your original assessment of the events in the film. You need a reliable source that actually discusses the film, and the building in it.
• The same goes for comparing events in one film with another. This is original research and not permitted.
• If you are going to state specifics about human rights in Saudi Arabia, you need sources that back up exactly what you are saying.
• If what you are adding is challenged and removed, it is your responsibility to demonstrate that it can be verified.
• Repeatedly putting it back in, while insulting other editors, is not acceptable behaviour and will get you blocked.
• You really need to go and read WP:SYNTH and understand it. You cannot combine facts from different sources in order to create a new fact/analysis/argument not in either source. A fair guideline is that if a source doesn't even mention the article subject, then you are unlikely to be able to use it as a cite in that article.

I appreciate your edits are good faith, but you need to understand Misplaced Pages policy and guidelines before continuing. Thanks. --Escape Orbit 19:17, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

What is a copyright violation copy of a film? Since when did Misplaced Pages become a law enforcement body? Secondly, what if I put up stuff that is verified, but some other editor still removes it? Every editor has his own way of doing things, some might agree with what I have written, some do not. What can I do? And no, I am not insutling editors. I just call a spade a spade :)

Have a look here. Misplaced Pages takes copyright seriously. A complete copy of a film on youtube from some random guy's account is very unlikely to be a licensed copy. --Escape Orbit 19:32, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

What if it is a small section of the movie? Or an individual takes screen shots of the movie and puts it up on the internet? Alternatively, can a film poster be used to demonstrate this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.43.227.18 (talk • contribs)

Well, then why don't you help provide a list of 'reliable websites'? Or, I should say, why wait? Go ahead and block me because of the 3RR limit, instead of typing something up here.

Please see above where I explained "it is your responsibility to demonstrate that it can be verified". You don't get to add things to Misplaced Pages, then demand that others go source it. I'm also going to direct you to this page again in regards to copyright. I appreciate that copyright can be a large and tricky thing to get to grips with, but a good start would be to make the effort to read the guidance, and listen to what other editors are explaining to you. Unfortunately, you do not appear to be willing to do that. --Escape Orbit 19:53, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Restoring inflammatory falsehoods about Saudi Arabia is not helpful editing

You just reverted the edit discussed in Talk:Human_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia#Bible-importation_death_penalty_rumor_appears_to_be_false, without justifying your reversion there. Also, your reversion summary was nothing more than an insult directed at me. I've reverted your reversion. If you think there is some evidence that this rumor is true, please explain it there. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 14:16, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Nope, it wasn't. It was a suggestion. If you choose to take things as an insult, unfortunately that is your call. (Note: this unsigned comment is by 192.43.227.18.)

P.S. 64573532 is the edit in question, in case anyone else is interested. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 14:24, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

You've just attempted to re-add the same inflammatory falsehood, including as a "source" a sensationalist ultra-right-wing web site. I've reverted it again. If you really think there is some kind of truth to this rumor, please discuss why on the talk page instead of trying to edit-war it into place.

Hello, I'm Haminoon. Your recent edit to the page United Arab Emirates appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page.

Australia did not have the death penalty in 1986.

Hello, I'm Kragen. Your recent edit to the page Barlow and Chambers execution appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. This is another example of introducing inflammatory falsehoods about human-rights issues into Misplaced Pages. Please be careful to avoid this in the future. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 17:52, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments, however I need to tell that you while Australia did not execute anyone from 1967 onwards, the death penalty was still legal in Australia law until 1980s, which is when many Westerners were caught. Please refer to the Misplaced Pages articles about death penalty in Australia.

Hi. While it is true that the death penalty was legal in Australia until the 1980s, it wasn’t in fact legal in 1986, which is the point in time that we were discussing. Please discuss this in Talk:Barlow_and_Chambers_execution#Removing_false_death_penalty_assertions rather than just reverting my reversions, which amounts to WP:Edit warring and will get you blocked (note that I warned you about this above, with regard to a different article). Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 19:25, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

However, I should add that your work in adding correct information about the nationality of Barlow to that page and to List of Australians imprisoned or executed abroad is much appreciated! Thank you! Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 18:04, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Also, thank you for your work in adding to Johannes van Damme, Yong Vui Kong, and John Martin Scripps! I've also reverted one of your edits to the Scripps page because it was facially incorrect. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 18:22, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Undoing inflammatory non-factual rhetoric (aka POV).

Hello, I'm Kragen. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to 2013 Little India riot seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The text I removed had no factual content and was purely a polemic against Singapore. I reverted your recent edit to MacDonald House bombing for the same reason. Please only contribute factual, verifiable content to Misplaced Pages. I appreciate the many times you have contributed accurate information, and I worry that my reverting your incessant introduction of falsehoods and polemical rhetoric could discourage you from making the more useful edits. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 18:32, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

For example, I appreciate your recent addition of useful context to Van Tuong Nguyen, which I've cleaned up slightly to improve its accuracy and broken link. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 18:36, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Also, thank you for your helpful contributions to Spring and other articles. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 19:04, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Regarding you pithy message, your interpretation of a primary source is incorrect. Citizenship of BOT and right of abode in the UK is not solely down to that one act. It varies by territory and there is other legislation involved, feel free to continue with the smart aleck remarks but you're at 4RR already so if you revert again I will make an edit warring report.
