@M.Bitton : I was totally unaware that anyone had a problem with my edits to the Berbers page. As I already explained to @Drmies, I am editing by phone as my desktop is down and I do not even receive notices. I did not intentionally engage in edit warring nor did I even return to the Berbers page after I finished editing it. Please judge me based on the totality of my edits, which are not all identical. Thanks. 107.127.46.49 (talk) 01:14, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What about the Caesarea in Mauretania article? You could clearly see that your edits were being reverted, yet you continued to reinsert the tags. Can you please self-revert these changes? M.Bitton (talk)

Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I greatly appreciate your constructive edits on Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but many editors recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits, such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (107.127.46.49) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page.

Again, welcome! Helen(💬📖) 03:13, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

October 2021[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at John Tyler Sr., you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 14:50, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you blank out or remove content from Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Berbers. Grim23 19:08, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Berbers. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

  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 and 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. M.Bitton (talk) 21:00, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tag bombing[edit]

Why are you tagging content that is easily attributable? M.Bitton (talk) 00:25, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not my intention. Making smaller, easier-to-read paragraphs from larger/longer paragraphs, which initially were tagged or left unsourced. 107.127.46.49 (talk) 00:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a good reason. Not everything that is unsourced needs a source and you're meant to at least try to source it yourself if you think it needs it. As an example: you cn tagged two statements that are easily attributable to a source. Why would you do that? M.Bitton (talk) 00:40, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@M.Bitton -- Again, apologies. It was not my intent to make unhelpful edits. I guess after a certain point I went on autopilot. I will try to do better. Please note that not all my edits are the same much less identical and are, I hope, for the most part, salutary. 107.127.46.49 (talk) 01:22, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine, we all make mistakes, but can you please self-revert (see my comment above in Berbers section) and start again. Thanks. M.Bitton (talk) 01:28, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So, my problem is the "smaller, easier-to-read paragraphs". As I said in an edit summary somewhere, Wikipedia's readers don't need such short paragraphs--we're not a newspaper. But if you're doing this from a phone you might not see that. And you did that in John Tyler, which is a Featured Article, and that's always going to draw some attention. M.Bitton, I'm about to have a look at the Berbers. I do believe this editor is of good faith and a bunch of their edits seemed like improvements to me--but I hope they stop breaking up paragraphs. Drmies (talk) 16:08, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • One more thing: if you edit by phone, you can still log in. You were suggesting that you normally edit from a desktop--with an account? If so, you really shouldn't be editing as an IP also. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 16:11, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Drmies: I too believe that they mean well, but more important (to me at least) is the fact that they have shown a willingness to learn. The breaking up of paragraphs will hopefully stop now that they are aware of the damage that editing by phone can cause. Best, M.Bitton (talk) 20:25, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
