Your recent editing history at Template:Black Canadians shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
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. —C.Fred (talk) 17:40, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hello,
- I want to inform you that I am not having any conflict. I only want to clear some edits based on personal point of view. The other editor, for example, insist that Ethiopians has to be removed BUT Ethiopia is not even member of the Arab League. Also, denying the right of these people to be included as Black Africans and instead labeled them as multiracial people. Routs verdi (talk) 17:46, 16 July 2016 (UTC) (copied from User talk:C.Fred)
- Looking at the article, as best I can tell, two of you are making good-faith edits to the article. There's a difference of point-of-view about who qualifies for the list. So, you have a content dispute. The correct thing to do at this point is discuss the matter at Template talk:Black Canadians. If necessary, you can make a request for a third opinion to give another angle.
- However, you may not continue to edit war by repeatedly reverting the article. That will lead to your account being blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 17:50, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
- I did not know about the three-revert rule, so I will not revert content at all.Routs verdi (talk) 17:53, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
- That's what the message I left was for: to inform you about the three-revert rule. —C.Fred (talk) 17:54, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
- I have a question. I believe based on the three-revert rule the other party has to stop to revert the content but I see there is not intention to stop his point of view changes. What I have to do?Routs verdi (talk) 17:59, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
- I'm watching the situation, so you just worry about your own content. I'll keep an eye on the other editor. —C.Fred (talk) 18:04, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Sudanese Canadians
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/48px-Information_icon4.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Sudanese Canadians. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – South Sudanese Canadians. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at South Sudanese Canadians – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:51, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
- I realise that Sudan and South Sudan are now distinct states, but you created this article by copying the South Sudanese article, so the content is identical. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:51, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Jubian Republic listed at Redirects for discussion
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/30px-Information.svg.png)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Jubian Republic. Since you had some involvement with the Jubian Republic redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 04:34, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
