Kindmind

Welcome!

Hello, Kindmind, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page and how to develop articles
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• Article wizard for creating new articles
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! 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! —C.Fred (talk) 00:35, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

March 2018

Hello, I'm KNHaw. I noticed that you removed topically-relevant content from Ismail ibn Musa Menk. However, Wikipedia is not censored to remove content that might be considered objectionable. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ismail ibn Musa Menk. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. MontyKind (talk) 17:52, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Ismail ibn Musa Menk. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 22:57, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

(Duplicated from my talk page)

Thank you for reaching out to me on my talk page. Regarding your questions, if you look at your edits to Ismail ibn Musa Menk, you can see that I reverted a single edit by you on March 2, 2018 (see here). I did that because you were removing well sourced criticisms without any discussion of why you were doing this. The normal place to discuss this would be on the talk page for the article, here. I have not made any more reverts on your edits since then because on some of the edits I felt I was not qualified to comment and on others there were other users reverting your changes.

In the past seven days, you have made many more modifications, a number of which have been reverted by users other than me. There have even been comments on your talk page by some of those other users (specifically Emir of Wikipedia (talk · contribs) and MontyKind (talk · contribs)) asking you discuss these changes on the talk page, but you haven't.

I understand that there are a lot of confusing processes on Wikipedia and that it can be easier to ignore people reverting your work than engaging with them, but you really owe it to yourself to bring up your changes on the talk page here. Until you actually discuss your changes and explain why they should be in the article on the talk page, you're going to continue seeing them reverted and may eventually be banned from Wikipedia.

So, that's why I reverted your edit on March 2nd and why you are seeing more reverts of your edits now. You say I am "letting other people delete my edits," but I am just an editor like you. I can't "let" people do anything any more than you can.

Like I said, if you really belive your edits are important and that the world deserves to see them, please discuss your changes on the talk page. That is the only way you will ever see them in the article.

Thanks! --KNHaw ^(talk) 00:06, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kindmind, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
