How to write about Kurdistan edit

Hi. I am afraid that I have had to undo some of your edits. To avoid this happening again in future you need to be careful not to write about Kurdistan as if it is currently a recognised nation state or to put the Kurdish flag into a place where the flag of a nation state is supposed to be. I appreciate that many people think that there should be a Kurdish state but there isn't, at least not yet. Removing the names of other states to try to de-emphasise which country a region is officially in in order to make it appear to be part of an existing Kurdish state is not acceptable and could be interpreted as being deliberately misleading. We have to write about the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be.

Also, please take care when writing edit summaries. On on of your edits you said "Took out 2 small sentences that did not match the references" but the edit changed a lot more than that. I am not going to give you a formal warning for that as it may have been unintentional, and you only did it once, but please do not do it again. --DanielRigal (talk) 12:08, 5 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

October 2014 edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Sulaymaniyah, you may be blocked from editing. You may wish Kurdistan to be a nation state, and that is a legitimate wish, but you can't falsify articles to pretend that this is already the case.

Sockpuppet investigation edit

 

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/BarzanPDK18, 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.

  Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of more than one account or IP address by one person. If this was not your intention, then please always remember to log in when editing. Thank you. King of ♠ 02:13, 22 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
