Hi, the recent edit you made to France has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 18:04, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

France

It was discussed already that the gallery section of the article was not to be included. Please do not keep restoring it. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ursutraide - basically Wikipedia is not a gallery. There are plenty images inline in the article. See also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#>Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files. I'll leave you to remove the images, thanks/wangi (talk) 20:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

New Mexico name and language

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to New Mexico, did not appear to be constructive and has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Please do not change the name or the official language. This has already been discussed on the talk page and a consensus reached. If you want to open the discussion again please do so on the talk page. Thank you. --Uncia (talk) 17:37, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

List of languages by number of native speakers

I think you may be misunderstand this article and the columns. The grid is set up to give 2 main sources in the first 2 columns and additional sources for other estimates in the far right column. The first column is to show what the most recent Ethonologue estimates are. This does not mean that they are the most correct; many may be outdated, but they are the Ethnologue estimates from the 15th edition. If you look at the Spanish, English, and Portuguese estimates, they are most likely not correct, but that's why there are three columns and why you can sort by the Encarta column as well. The far right column gives a source for French that states another estimate of 113 million native speakers. Please see talk page because there were several discussions regarding this, and the consensus before I even started editing was that the columns were for specific information so people could see the different estimates. Thanks. Kman543210 (talk) 12:34, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Map

Please do not accuse others of vandalism when they are clearly not vandals. There is absolutely no need to have both maps there, so why are you repeatedly adding them? The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick ^t 18:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Official working language

official languages of the state, french : official working language There is no mention of the word official next to the working language (all it says is: "Le français est la langue de travail"). I suggest you read the sources that are cited in the article. M.Bitton (talk) 22:19, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Please note that the "languages_type2" parameter that you added doesn't exist and the Infobox cannot have more than one languages_type. I suggest you read the warnings that are displayed when previewing the article before saving it. M.Bitton (talk) 23:11, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Following your last edit (after you continued to edit war while ignoring everything I said), the article displays "Preview warning: Page using Template:Infobox country with unknown parameter "languages_type2"" (in preview mode). How is this acceptable? M.Bitton (talk) 10:14, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

I solved the problem,

Is "languages2_type" not "languages_type2"

Thanks Ursutraide (talk) 10:53, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

In other words, you kept edit warring despite being wrong. M.Bitton (talk) 10:55, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

July 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mali. 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:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. 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. M.Bitton (talk) 10:09, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
