While I appreciate your attempt to help at the Teahouse...[edit]

... getting into such arguments rarely ends well, and is not what the Teahouse is designed for. I know that telling a law student not to argue may be like telling a fish not to swim, but I figured I'd at least try. 😉 199.208.172.35 (talk) 21:11, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Dyk help[edit]

Requesting to have a look @ this Dyk query and help as possible. Bookku (talk) 05:22, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IPv6 Users[edit]

Apropos a discussion in another place, IPv6 addresses change frequently in the hostid (bottom 64 bits), but if the top 64 bits are the same, it is all the same person. So related user contributions may be found by adding /64 to the address (often they are aggregated higher too, but definitely aggregated at 64 bits). So, just as a for instance: Special:Contributions/2600:1700:1250:6D80:FD27:AF83:F025:53FA/64. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Orstkhoy[edit]

Hello, Could you please check the last section of the talk page in the Orstkhoy article? it's "On the topic of oldest source", unfortunately the talk page devolved into edit warring and distortion of sources when i found a source that predates the source that is used in the article. I explained the date of my source and why it is older than the Guildenstedt one. I would appreciate it if you could just be a third party to help us reach a consensus in the article. Goddard2000 (talk) 00:09, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look soon but you may want to find an impartial user who can speak Russian to review this, as I cannot myself actually read the source material. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 20:10, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Snow stake[edit]

Information icon Hello, LegalSmeagolian. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Snow stake, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 20:07, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

In the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area, editors are limited to one revert per 24 hours. Violations of this are treated seriously, and can result in blocks or bans from uninvolved admins. In the past 24 hours, you have made at least three:

  1. 18:09, 18 October 2023
  2. 19:14, 18 October 2023
  3. 01:34, 19 October 2023

Please self-revert the most recent two reverts to bring yourself into compliance with this restriction. BilledMammal (talk) 02:14, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One of those reverts was from an editor accidently creating a typo in the infobox and removing sourced information BY ACCIDENT. The two others are conclusions which misstate what sources actually say. I will revert to accurately reflect sources. This is rich coming from someone currently facing arbitration action. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 16:42, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
16:49, 19 October 2023, as an edit which as you recognize in your comment is a revert but isn't a self-revert, constitutes a fourth revert in 24 hours. Please self revert, as I would prefer not to have to open a discussion at WP:AE.
Please note that while there are exceptions to the rule at WP:3RRNO, believing that you are correct is not one of them. Further, for our purposes the term revert is defined as any edit (or administrative action) that reverses or undoes the actions of other editors, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material, and whether performed using undo, rollback, or done so completely manually. A series of consecutively saved reverting edits by one user, with no intervening edits by another user, counts as one revert. BilledMammal (talk) 18:15, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
so copyediting and adding information is a revert? I am not going to now revert edits made by other users, which say essentially the same thing. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 20:00, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Restoring information that was previously removed (the cause of the explosion has not yet been verified) is a revert, and is a continuation of your 01:34, 19 October 2023 and 18:09, 18 October 2023 edits where you were edit warring over conclusions which misstate what sources actually say.
I am not going to now revert edits made by other users, which say essentially the same thing. You don't need to; the section of the lede that you edited has not been edited by other editors. As such, please self-revert the most recent revert. BilledMammal (talk) 20:18, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for self-reverting. BilledMammal (talk) 20:43, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There were actually 2 Million people displaced in Gaza.[edit]

2 Million people were displaced due to Israel Hamas War. Read this:https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240129-turkiye-foreign-minister-urges-world-to-prevent-starvation-diseases-in-gaza/ 216.246.128.156 (talk) 22:19, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Luxembourg[edit]

Are you sure that your latest edit at Rosa Luxemburg accomplished what you were intending? (The main text additions by UA0V date to Feb 3, the edits you reverted seem to in fact have been fairly minor tweaks.) --JBL (talk) 20:25, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About reversion[edit]

Sorry, man. Those contributions were created by an IP corresponding to the troll mmoreno25, even if it was by an IP, but that has been managed to monitor. Not only does he make this kind of comments, if you notice he is spamming in user discussions. That was the reason to undo the edit, nothing else. Pichu VI (talk) 22:59, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

no worries I was just browsing the recent changes page you're all good sorry for reverting your revert revert revert revert revert revert revert errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr have a great day! LegalSmeagolian (talk) 23:05, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Snow stake[edit]

Hello, LegalSmeagolian. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Snow stake".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:38, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment[edit]

What made you think that posting "'relatively brief' - is not the case, article is potentially overly detailed. Additionally just because you liked a film does not mean the article meets the FA criteria." was an appropriate comment to put as the opening of my nomination? You literally haven't even read it according to your comment. You have a featured article nomination up as we speak, do you think it would be appropriate if someone had made such a dismissive drive-by comment on yours? Darkwarriorblake (talk) 20:40, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean I haven't read it? I have read it, but some could argue that it is overly detailed. Apologies as potentially is likely not the right word. And yes that is fine, I don't think my comment was an issue. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 21:11, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
