User talk:OveGjerlow

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hi OveGjerlow! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Harold Meyerson several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Harold Meyerson, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Please self revert your last edit. There is NO context which you speak of, it's a random out-of-place blockquote.. JesseRafe (talk) 16:30, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

He's a social democrat. The quote shows policies consistent with that he advocates. OveGjerlow (talk) 16:32, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Please read our policy on WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. That is not segued by any of the proceeding text. It is a long blockquote presented without context, introduction, milieu or anything that could help a reader see what they are reading and why. Please consider reverting, or rewriting it to not be a burden on an otherwise good article. JesseRafe (talk) 16:35, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

I move it up under the relevant paragraph. OveGjerlow (talk) 16:36, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

You obviously did not read the linked policy guideline. You are now bordering on WP:COMPETENCE because you are digging in on the position that there is context for this quote? There is not. It is random and out-of-nowhere and was justly removed. You have made no attempt to justify its inclusion other than stubbornness and that is not how a collaborative encyclopedia is built, nor how good articles are made better. Please remove the quote, or provide sufficient well-sourced, non-primary references. JesseRafe (talk) 16:39, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Added "Just as Sanders looks to Scandinavia for models for America, so does Meyerson." OveGjerlow (talk) 16:42, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Please read the policies linked above. Read them, internalize them, and then reflect. I've removed this nonsensical passage again, don't re-add it. It's incredibly long and adds extremely little to a reader's understanding of the subject. JesseRafe (talk) 16:17, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made editsto Special:Contributions/76.182.72.170 while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. JesseRafe (talk) 20:23, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Harold Meyerson, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. JesseRafe (talk) 15:03, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Texas Pete, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Larry Hockett (Talk) 17:49, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Harold Meyerson, you may be blocked from editing. Stop it. There's no consensus for the inclusion of this content. It's just plopped in inelegantly and without context, and is like 20-25% of the article. It simply doesn't belong, and your post on the Talk page to include it (thank you for finally doing that) got no support. You haven't tried anything else to remedy this or present the content more palatably in any way, just cantankerously re-adding the same sore prose again and again. This behavior does not endear others to your position and may lead to adverse consequences. JesseRafe (talk) 18:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

File source problem with File:S M Shah.png

Thank you for uploading File:S M Shah.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 18:48, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

October 2023 - Original research

Hi @OveGjerlow,

I wanted to ping you about your recent edits on Efficiency Gap in case you didn't see the talk page discussion that was started around them. I have to delete your edits again as they constitute clear WP:Original research. Please reach out if you have any questions as it looks like you're new to Wikipedia and I know these rules can take a while to learn. Otherwise, I'm going to have submit a request to have you blocked from editing that page for disruptive editing if the concerns are still not being addressed or discussed in the talk page.
