Welcome![edit]

Hi, Anthony.al. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users—please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. भास्कर्bhagawati Speak 13:20, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thankyou very much.

Ethnicity info[edit]

Information about living people must be exceptionally well sourced, especially when it involved contentious topics like ethnicity. The source you added to John Cena does not meet even our basic reliable sources guidelines, so had to be removed. Unless you can find a very high quality reliable source, please do not re-add that information to that article. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:29, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And now I've had to revert you at the Belushi articles. Please, Wikipedia requires that information be verified. Please read up on what is and is not a reliable source, and stop edit warring. It is always better to have less information than to have information that is not well-verified. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:40, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:48, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

December 2012[edit]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Inappropriate[edit]

Comments such as "You are a adminstrator not a Anti-Albanian. Please stop that. or I will take complaints by wikipedia" are inappropriate, as are ultimatums as a whole. Administrators are appointed due to their knowledge of policy, and are expected to hold editors to those policies. You were loudly suggesting that 3 sources were reliable, when it's been shown that 2 certainly are not, and 1 actually might not be. Why not work nicely and within policy as opposed to insulting people and making ultimatums? (✉→BWilkins←✎) 13:41, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Getting on with other editors[edit]

Hi, thanks for your note on my talk page. I see you have left the same message for several others – probably more than you needed to.

May I make several suggestions for getting on better with other editors?

Use the edit summary to explain why you are making a change to an article. Don't make threats or general comments like "Don't vandalism!" but explain why you think your change is correct.
- In particular, always do that if you are removing information that has a citation. Otherwise, your deletion may look like vandalism.
Don't mark an edit as a "minor change" if anyone might disagree with it.
Be honest on your user page about your level of English language. The user page currently states that you are a native speaker of English. The number of spelling and grammar mistakes in your writing suggest that this may not be true. Perhaps you meant to enter "en-1" rather than "en" within the "Babel" template.
Each article also has a talk (discussion) page, e.g. Talk:Arbëreshë people. Use it to discuss changes. If another editor writes "see discussion" in an edit summary, that is what he means.

I hope this helps. I will look back again later but have to go now. – Fayenatic London 08:56, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at some of the edit history that you complained about. User:Nymf usually explained the reasons, although some of the Wikipedia jargon may not be familiar to you. The article Jim Belushi now includes material cited from Belushi's own page, which is allowed under WP:SELFPUB, so I assume you are now happy with that. The list of American Albanians includes valid changes by you; John Cena was removed from the list as there is no citation for an Albanian connection in his own article. As for the better picture of Paul Walker, that's a matter of opinion; neither is ideal, as the one with a sharper image had a dark background.

For Masiela Lusha, the edit summary mentions MOS:BIO; for any codes like that, look them up using Wikipedia search – this refers to MOS:BIO which is part of Wikipedia's Manual of Style. The article prominently covers her Albanian origin already, just not in the first line.

Does this explain why the changes were made after your edits? Please don't take offence when this happens. I hope you will carry on contributing here, especially if you have access to reliable sources for your area of interest.

If the matter is now resolved, please consider removing your complaint from the other talk pages where you left the same note as on mine. – Fayenatic London 23:17, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You left me a message thanking me for help, but then left an inappropriate message [1] at user talk:Nymf. You do not seem to understand any Wikipedia policies, so I have left you a Welcome message at the top of this page with links to the most important pages. Please read those before you do any more work on articles. You also need to learn to respect Wikipedia's policies, and other editors, otherwise you will be blocked. – Fayenatic London 22:30, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple accounts[edit]

I noticed from [2] that you signed as a different new user, user:Albanianp. Using multiple accounts is not generally allowed; see WP:SOCK. Do you want to discontinue the account user:Albanianp, and just use User:Anthony.al? If so I will block Albanianp with your agreement.

Also, I noticed that the language skills claimed on the two user pages are not the same. Please change User:Anthony.al to show your own language skill levels. – Fayenatic London 22:19, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wants delete me by wikipedia but I'm not User Albanianp. I don't know him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony.al (talk • contribs) 22:30, 30 December 2012‎

Then why did you sign with his name? – Fayenatic London 22:32, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wants no more edit with my Wikipedia Anthony.al and I wants delete me please User:anthony.al.

so ..

For reference, that German wiki user page is currently requesting speedy deletion. I have deleted the user page User:anthony.al as requested (it only contained inaccurate Babel boxes) and blocked this account for sockpuppetry. – Fayenatic London 22:54, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The German Wikipedia is pretty much a giveaway that it is a sockpuppet too. Seems to have accidentally replied using Anthony.al in a discussion that Albanianp was having with a user on a talk page. Nymf _wabbit! 08:26, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. – Fayenatic London 22:54, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
