Welcome edit

Hello IyaCrusher and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to Lakota language, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a Help desk, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Th78blue (They/Them/Their • talk) 22:08, 9 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

December 2021 edit

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Lakota language, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Lakota language, you may be blocked from editing. Please discuss your removal of referenced material on the article's talk page. Ifnord (talk) 22:15, 9 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

As a local Lakota educator who lives on one of our nations, there are a lot of lies and falsehoods and propaganda on this page from the Lakota Language Consortium. They link to their own articles and books as “resources.” They are creating a false narrative and using this page as propaganda. IyaCrusher (talk) 22:21, 9 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Lies and propaganda edit

As a local Lakota educator, there are a lot of lies and propaganda and falsehoods from the Lakota Language Consortium on this page.

These people link to their own articles and books as sources but they are merely more propaganda. Most Lakota people do not support them and their tactics of divide and conquer. IyaCrusher (talk) 22:18, 9 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

You are welcome to add referenced content (please see WP:PROVEIT) to balance or add a contrary view but removal of referenced material with simply an unreferenced claim of propaganda will likely be reverted by other editors. Ifnord (talk) 22:29, 9 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Lakota language. Serols (talk) 16:21, 10 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Serols, that material is "sourced" by a reference to the mentioned dictionary itself, and it's possible/probable the reference was added by the author/publisher of the book. The edit is not vandalism. It looks to me like it's potentially long-needed cleanup of COI / POV material that shouldn't have been added in the first place. - CorbieVreccan 18:07, 10 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Invitation edit

Welcome to Wikipedia! Please consider joining us at the Indigenous Wikiproject. Especially at the talk page therof, where we collaborate on articles, vent, pretend we're the Council, and discuss how to navigate this site as editors whose lives and fields of interest are not always understood by the majority of editors here. I hope you stick around here, and come on over. - CorbieVreccan 18:02, 10 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
