Hello, I'm MaxnaCarta. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. MaxnaCarta (talk) 10:13, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome![edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Aswan Dam did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

July 2022[edit]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Aswan Dam, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Do not redo your edit unless you cite an English language source that meets the standards laid out in Wikipedia:Reliable sources KNHaw ^(talk) 03:31, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Aswan Dam 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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. —C.Fred (talk) 20:55, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion[edit]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

OK, clearly you aren't going to listen to me on this issue. I'm moving this discussion where someone with more experience and authority can rule on how we should proceed on this. Sound good? KNHaw ^(talk) 20:18, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a look at the ruling as it went mostly in your favor. I was under the impression that English Wikipedia required English sources - it apparently does not. I still think you should look for one to make your edit stronger and also that you need to remove the Free Dictionary source as it does not mention the Aswan Dam at all. Also, you might want to find a different place in the article to make your claim - from their comments it seems that placing it in the opening paragraph was @C.Fred's concern.

Obviously, that is just my opinion. How you proceed is your choice. I am going to remove Aswan Dam from my watchlist so I won't be updated on any further edits there. Should you wish to reach out to me, feel free to leave any comments on my talk page below - please try to keep it civil, though.

Good luck.
