Please be constructive

You've been reverted a lot lately (Stephen C. Meyer and Battle of Adys), which should tell you that you may be approaching editing incorrectly. The best approach is to discuss a change on the article talk page after you've been reverted, with citations to reliable sources, rather than attempt to continue being disruptive. You haven't been doing this. Consider this a mild warning. Wikipedia is a collaborative project. Talk pages are necessary to facilitate collaboration. Please start using them. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:53, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

I was coming here to say something similar. Your edit summaries are almost entirely devoid of information. Instead of saying 'Fixed whatever', please give a brief explanation of what was wrong with the content and/or sources you are changing/removing. If you're going to remove large swathes of text (as you did at Cynane), consider posting on the talk page first, explaining your rationale, before making the change.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Battle of Pometia. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Thank you. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:20, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm HistoryofIran. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Rhodogune of Parthia, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. HistoryofIran (talk) 15:13, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Rhodogune of Parthia, 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. HistoryofIran (talk) 17:12, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Rhodogune of Parthia. 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) 17:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Why are you reverting my edits? I have made repeated examples of why there is an alternate point of view and it is missing from this page. I cited my source and my reasoning and you continue to revert my edits. I can add another source if you’d like on some potential problems with Polyaenus’ scholarship. I am not trying to get into edit wars just add other points of view to the page. If you have an issue with my argument, please let me know rather than delete my edit. Dlv426 (talk) 18:00, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

I have no ill will towards you but please stop deleting my add-ons. All points of view deserve to be heard. Dlv426 (talk) 18:01, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

For the third time, you need a WP:RS (i.e reliable source) source that directly states this, not making your own conclusion based on what you've read. Please revert yourself and use the talk page (see WP:CONSENSUS) or I will report you to WP:ANI, seeing your edit history and previous warnings. HistoryofIran (talk) 18:28, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Can you please define reliable source? The source I posted had several authors who reviewed Polyaenus showing possible issues with Polyaenus’ work especially with the stratagems of the queens. If you read the last paragraph, it clearly states that. If you’d like I can cite the sentences from their work. Moreover, Wikipedia has unsourced things all over the place. I brought up a legitimate alternate point of view with a source. Are my words unworthy of being read? I didn’t stay the story was false, I only said it’s possible it is legendary because we don’t have Polyaenus’ sources, it’s written centuries later and the story itself is a bit unbelievable. Do you have an issue with this point of view? There is no need threaten with reporting, I’m trying to have legitimate conversations. You don’t need to be rude. If you have an issue with my edit and source, please tell me. Dlv426 (talk) 18:40, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

I've already tried to explain it to you multiple times. If you are truly acting in WP:GF, then please revert yourself and create a section in the talk page of the article. HistoryofIran (talk) 18:44, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

So are you saying that before any edit must be made on anything an editor of a page must put it in the talk section? Editors can’t just add an edit and cite a source? I was not aware of this if it is true. I’m trying to understand the rules. Dlv426 (talk) 18:53, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Not at all. Please see WP:Consensus, WP:ONUS and WP:EDITWARRING. HistoryofIran (talk) 18:59, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok. I put my question in the talk page. I’m not trying to war with you. I just want to understand your issue with my edit and source. It doesn’t seem like it’s too much to ask to at least question Polyaenus’ story. Why couldn’t my sentences stay? The paragraph of the story can be kept but why not have a countering sentence(s) to show both sides? Let’s talk here or the talk page. It’s up to you. Dlv426 (talk) 19:06, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. HistoryofIran (talk) 00:05, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

History, are you going to respond to my arguments. I am just trying to have a conversation with you. What precisely is acceptable to you? How do you interpret the quote I put in and why do you not question the story based on when Polyaenus wrote and that he does not cite his sources. Dlv426 (talk) 00:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at Rhodogune of Parthia. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 01:03, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
