Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, 〜 Adflatuss • talk 15:43, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Ahoy! And thank you capitan! ElLuzDelSur (talk) 08:08, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello ElLuzDelSur, and thank you for your work.

Unfortunately, I must revert your edits to the Acacia article. Several years ago, (after much controversy) the genus Acacia was limited to species occurring mainly in Australia, and species previously known as acacias (mainly outside of Australia and often thorny) were separated into Vachellia and Senegalia. A longer explanation is here. The species referred to in your references, Acacia raddiana is now known as Vachellia tortilis subsp. raddiana,[1]https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77132778-1#synonyms and Acacia tortilis as Vachellia tortilis.[2]https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77087190-1 No species of Acacia grows in the Negev desert. You may be able to add your information to the Vachellia tortilis article. Gderrin (talk) 12:11, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Oh! Ok! Thank you! So very nice of you, I just read about it and I wanted to add, so thanks for informing me! ElLuzDelSur (talk) 13:33, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Ok! Thx for introducing! I will be cautious! And I hope we can be friends! ElLuzDelSur (talk) 12:07, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Please be more cautious than this, and use the talk page. Cheers, IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 16:49, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Troglofauna, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Congo. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Some might consider your commentaries at my talk page as WP:HARASSMENT, just sayin'. Selfstudier (talk) 15:21, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Re this, tell me what it is you want to report me for and I will tell you where to do it.Selfstudier (talk) 15:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

It seems like you've got drawn into a lot of interpersonal conflicts with editors regarding a contentious topic area lately. You have also admitted recently to being not very with Wikipedia rules here. I would recommend it might be wise to work in some less controversial parts of the project until such time as you have a strong grasp on Wikipedia rules.

Please note I don't say this to dissuade you from editing things that interest you. I mean goodness knows I like working in contentious topic areas. But the thing with them is that the specifics of Wikipedia rules become somewhat more pressing in contentious topic areas where there are often special rules at play that you need to be aware of to avoid getting into trouble.

Anyway, like I said, this is meant as a friendly recommendation. I hope it is received this way. Simonm223 (talk) 16:36, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
