On a final note, you may want to try the new (beta) VisualEditor, check out our weekly newspaper, the Wikipedia Signpost, and join a WikiProject of interest to you. WikiProjects gather editors interested in certain topic areas, providing them with information, tools and a place to discuss the topic in question. Based on your recent edits I think you may be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Copyediting. For a list of all WikiProjects, see here. Joining a WikiProject makes the Wikipedia experience much richer! Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:47, 10 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:57, 14 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Malcolm X

Please stop already and join the discussion I started on the article's talk page. You are misrepresenting the sources. Thank you. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 19:49, 14 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Malcolm X. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:44, 24 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Formal mediation has been requested

edit
The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Malcolm X". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 31 March 2016.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Request for mediation rejected

edit
The request for formal mediation concerning Malcolm X, to which you were listed as a party, has been declined. To read an explanation by the Mediation Committee for the rejection of this request, see the mediation request page, which will be deleted by an administrator after a reasonable time. Please direct questions relating to this request to the Chairman of the Committee, or to the mailing list. For more information on forms of dispute resolution, other than formal mediation, that are available, see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Katherine Stewart (journalist), did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. It was easy to restore coherence to the section with a few more words and a minor revision. Commenting on an article in the body of the article is always a bad idea. Comments belong on the Talk page.

Okay! Thanks. Sorry, I'm not a very skilled Wikipedia editor. I would have fixed the sentence myself if the content had been decipherable. Glad to see you fixed it. Thanks again.

Reliable sourcing

edit

Thanks for providing reliable sources for the article. [1] I wasn't sure if you knew of the page at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, which provides a table reflecting previous discussions on what the community considers to be a reliable source. For your original source, there is an entry at WP:NYPOST that indicates that it is generally considered unreliable. signed, Willondon (talk) 03:08, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
