The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

  Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Alqosh. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 22:11, 1 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Assyrian–Chaldean–Syriac diaspora, you may be blocked from editing.

Doug Weller, I have no doubt you have good intentions by posting here. But please make no mistake, just because someone just start correcting articles on Wikipedia it doesn't mean they are new to Wikipedia and open source platforms. Before you undo someone's changes, dig a little deeper to understand what is going on especially in areas you are not familiar with. Let me give you a brief version of what is happening, Chaldeans and Assyrians are two ethnic groups who lived in Mesopotamia for thousands of years. However, what is happening recently is Assyrians are making broad and unsupported claims saying Chaldeans are Assyrians. This is not just not supported by any unbiased sources but it is also completely rejected by Chaldeans. It is hate crime happening now, and they are using open source platforms like Wikipedia to spread their propaganda. I invite to look at the history of all Chaldean/Assyrian articles on Wikipedia, many attempts were make to correct the information but they were undone or overwritten with broad and not cited claims. Unfortunately, neutral people like yourself who are not familiar in the area also unknowingly contributed to such hate crime. What happened is I corrected some articles, an Assyrian came and undid all my changes and after I corrected them again, you came and undid my changes. Please undo your change and let us, Chaldeans, document ourselves. 22:05, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
