Duplicated content / missing sources

edit

Hello Af420, your recent edits to Kabul and Islam in Karachi accidentally duplicated the articles' content (probably due to some copy/pasting error) and broke the articles' structure. I have fixed these problems. Please make sure to double-check your edits once you have saved them, and fix/revert them if anything goes wrong. Also, any change in demographical data or other statistical information should be referenced by reliable sources - please provide a source when changing such numbers. Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please feel free to ping me. GermanJoe (talk) 15:47, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for help and i just try to fix but:) Af420 (talk) 16:35, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

February 2023

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. HistoryofIran (talk) 19:59, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

@HistoryofIran:

I’m not in war with anyone, u have changed Rumi’s birthplace without any discussion, and without any prove.
You didn’t even had a single online source that proves your point. You’re welcome to make any change you want, but you must provide a reliable source of information that states your opinion!

The sources that proves my point are some of the most popular, known and respected websites:

Af420 (talk) 21:37, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Huh? Please pay more attention. I didn't change anything and I'm not trying to prove a point, I simply reverted your non-constructive edits and restored the original, sourced revision. Moreover, the information you removed literally had two cited WP:RS. Also, could you please explain how your random sites are considered WP:RS? --HistoryofIran (talk) 21:42, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
