Proposed deletion of China stock market crash

The article China stock market crash has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTNEWS - stock indexes rise and fall all the time, mostly without long-term consequences.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fatimid desecration of Jerusalem, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Constantine and Church. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Latakia offensive (October 2015)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Latakia offensive (October 2015), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Quneitra offensive (October 2015). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 09:40, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Duplicate articles

Greetings, I see you wrote both Quneitra offensive (October 2015) and Latakia offensive (October 2015) with identical content. One should probably be rewritten or redirected.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:29, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, not really as Latakia and Quneitra are different places, hundreds of miles apart. There is some non-identical content. Guru Noel (talk) 10:47, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

The only non-identical content is one sentence in one row and the titles of the articles. Everything else is a carbon copy. Both articles have now been redirected. Quneitra (which was a rebel, not government operation) to an already existing article on the Quneitra events that has existed for weeks. Latakia to the Northwestern Syria offensive article since the Latakia events are covered there as they fall under the one unified offensive to secure the Alawite heartland (by capturing the Sahel al-Ghab plains, northern Hama and Jabal al-Akrad mountains).

Edit warring at Daraa offensive (October 2015)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

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.

1RR violation on an article related to the Syrian civil war. The full report is at WP:AN3#User talk:Guru Noel reported by User:EkoGraf (Result: Blocked). Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 02:21, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Guru Noel (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Illegitmate blanking or redirecting a page is WP:Vandalism, repairing that is not 1RR

Decline reason:

If you've linked to the definition of vandalism, you must have read it. Therefore, you should understand what vandalism is and what it's not. Especially since this wasn't even a content dispute - just an administrator closing an AfD. If you disagree with their decision, welocme to WP:DRV, however edit warring will never get you anywhere, as evident from this block. Max Semenik (talk) 05:09, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Guru Noel (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

WP:DRV is not necessary as Daraa offensive (October 2015) is a legitimate page that cannot be deleted, without due discussion. The actions I have been blocked for were in defense of those principles from those vandalising and trying to illegitimately blank it. I didn't actually notice at the time that one of the three reverts was an administrator to be fair. I also didn't notice that admin was involved in the deletion discussion for a different article. I thought it was all the same vandal, who twice blanked the page claiming the deletion discussion actioned it, when the discussion suggested nothing of the sort - the exact opposite actually - that the offensive be restructured - a suggestion by another editor that I acknowledged! The fact that it was an administrator backing up vandalistic actions is probably due for investigation elsewhere, but doesn't affect this undue block. Guru Noel (talk) 15:35, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Decline reason:

This request just makes it more clear that you don't understand how Wikipedia works. As you've already been given numerous relevant policy links in prior unblock requests, the only one left to leave is WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:43, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

November 2015

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia'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.

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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Coming straight off a block to continue the edit war is never going to end well for you... Mdann52 (talk) 10:28, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
