Sentence wording edit
We seem to be having differences in grammatical judgements on this. The "and" makes it sound like the "it" at the beginning of the sentence, referring to the "name" of the previous sentence, is what was "initially named Qāhirat al-Mu'izz". But it's the "city" that was "initially named" such, a "name" cannot be "initially named", so something has to change here. This version reads fine to me, I don't see why it needs to be fixed further. If necessary, we can just split these further into simpler sentences. R Prazeres (talk) 05:50, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- Doesn't really matter that much to me; your version it is. Snowstormfigorion (talk) 06:03, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- I just changed it to this to eliminate any misreading one way or another. Thanks, R Prazeres (talk) 06:06, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- R Prazeres, just a question. Can "This name was given" be changed to "The name was given"? Sorry as English is not my native tongue so some grammar is not my strongest point. Snowstormfigorion (talk) 06:34, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
- No problem. Yes it's fine, I just picked "this" to make it sound slightly less repetitive, but there's no change in meaning either way. R Prazeres (talk) 07:05, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

June 2023 edit
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Arabic music, 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.

June 2023 edit
Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.132.162.157 (talk) 09:38, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- 154.132.162.157, please take the time to properly describe your concern. If that is ignored, we can discuss administrative options. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:30, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
Warning edit
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Kansas Bear (talk) 23:12, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

December 2023 edit
Hello, I'm Tarl N.. I noticed that you recently removed content from Christopher Columbus without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Tarl N.

March 2024 edit
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Marrakesh. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. R Prazeres (talk) 18:21, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
