November 2021[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to List of countries by Global Militarization Index, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 23:07, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Tol. Wikipedia 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 List of countries without armed forces 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. Thank you. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:59, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at United States Department of Defense, you may be blocked from editing. BilCat (talk) 03:31, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Russian Armed Forces. - wolf 08:43, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, as you did at Russian Armed Forces, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. - wolf 08:44, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added note[edit]

Re: your comment at Russian Armed Forces;
"Stop following me around, let me edit the way i want, Russia is the largest and strongest military in world, get used to it". This was completely inappropriate for multiple reasons. I have not been following you around. I have, however, been attempting to help you with one problematic edit after another. When I went to your contribs to retrieve a diff for a previous reply to you, I noticed a mass removal of content from a article, with no edit summary and a "references removed" tag. Of course I reviewed it. I found it to be another problem edit, similar to the one on the USDoD page that I'm trying to help you with. That edit had to be reverted. Yet you reverted back in, with the above summary;

instead of reverting, you should've followed the principle of WP:BRD, but instead you took the first step in an edit war.
Accusing another editor of violating policy without evidence, is a violation of both WP:CIVIL & WP:NPA,
You can't just "edit the way you want", you need to abide by the policies & guidelines of this project, and
Your little snipe at the end ("get used to it") was rude and pointless. No one will need to "get used" to your kind of editing, because of you continue, you will likely be blocked. So, again... start reading and learning about how to, and how not to, edit this project. And govern yourself accordingly.

Re: your recent edits[edit]

Your posted a comment regarding an edit on a user talk page. In the future, such comments should be posted on the article talk page. Your question has been answered, but if you wish to carry on a discussion, you should copy the posts to the article talk page and reply there. Meanwhile, please read through the "welcome" template above. It has several links to information for new users to help you learn how to edit Wikipedia properly. If you have any questions, you can contact the Help Desk. You should also check out the Teahouse - a resource for new users. - wolf 07:11, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Again...[edit]

Please stop posting to various user talk pages, as I already requested above. The discussion you're attempting to start has now been posted, in it's entirety, at Talk:United States Department of Defense#DOD. (Your post and my reply from User talk:BilCat and your post on my user talk page.) If you are seeking ro discuss this matter further, then that is the place to do so. Thank you - wolf 08:23, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And again[edit]

Why would you post something like this: "im not scared of you" ...on my talk page. I'm not trying to "scare" you, I was trying to help you, but as you continue post more and more problem edits, and vandalize this project, you also accrue more notifications and warnings, (from multiple editors, not just me). At this point you're acting like a disruptive troll and so, I think we're done here. I know I am. - wolf 10:05, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Read[edit]

The fundamental principles of Wikipedia may be summarized in five "pillars":

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia

Wikipedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a social network, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, nor a web directory. It is not a dictionary, a newspaper, nor a collection of source documents, although some of its fellow Wikimedia projects are.

Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view

We strive for articles with an impartial tone that document and explain major points of view, giving due weight for their prominence. We avoid advocacy, and we characterize information and issues rather than debate them. In some areas there may be just one well-recognized point of view; in others, we describe multiple points of view, presenting each accurately and in context rather than as "the truth" or "the best view". All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy with citations based on reliable sources, especially when the topic is controversial or is about a living person. Editors' personal experiences, interpretations, or opinions do not belong on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute

All editors freely license their work to the public, and no editor owns an article – any contributions can and may be mercilessly edited and redistributed. Respect copyright laws and never plagiarize from any sources. Borrowing non-free media is sometimes allowed as fair use, but editors should strive to find free alternatives first.

Wikipedia's editors should treat each other with respect and civility

Respect your fellow Wikipedians, even when you disagree. Apply Wikipedia etiquette, and do not engage in personal attacks or edit wars. Seek consensus, and never disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Act in good faith, and assume good faith on the part of others. Be open and welcoming to newcomers. Should conflicts arise, discuss them calmly on the appropriate talk pages, follow dispute resolution procedures, and consider that there are 6,820,011 other articles on the English Wikipedia to improve and discuss.

Wikipedia has no firm rules

Wikipedia has policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone; their content and interpretation can evolve over time. The principles and spirit matter more than literal wording, and sometimes improving Wikipedia requires making exceptions. Be bold, but not reckless, in updating articles. And do not agonize over making mistakes: they can be corrected easily because (almost) every past version of each article is saved.
