User talk:Ucfberrada

Welcome!

Hello, Ucfberrada, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as List of most-liked tweets, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! creffett (talk) 22:00, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of List of most-liked tweets

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on List of most-liked tweets requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_most-liked_tweets. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. creffett (talk) 22:00, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

March 2021

Your recent editing history at Nora Fatehi 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.
We had a lengthy discussion about that month ago in the talk page. Consensus was to use Canadian only as per WP:NATIONALITY policy. Discuss there and gain consensus. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:23, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RFC and talk page guidelines

Hi there, re: the discussions at Talk:Nora Fatehi, this isn't an admonishment, I'm just trying to give you some crucial information: When you participate in discussions, it is important that you adhere to our talk page guidelines. You need to sign your posts with four tildes like ~~~~ which will append your signature and time stamp. This is also important because other editors need to know who said what. Also, {{ping}}s don't work without signatures. It's also important to properly indent your comments so that they're easy to read, as some discussions can become convoluted without proper indentation. When you add references to a talk page, you don't need to use <ref></ref>, a simple [http://yourlink.com/article] will suffice. When you use the HTML ref tags, the references wind up at the bottom of the page, and can bleed over to future discussions. If you do use the ref tags, then you should add a {{reflist-talk}} to the bottom of the section, which will prevent the references from bleeding into other discussions. I have taken care of that for you.

Last thing, while I understand you have strong opinions about this topic, it's important to remain civil and especially to avoid personal attacks. Thank you, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:30, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb: Hi Cyphoidbomb. I thank you for the crucial information you gave me. I adhere to the TPG but I'm still learning... Nobody is born knowing the TPG. So you can either find it great that more people try to participate in the noble mission of Wikipedia and try as you did to help them get onboard or you can decide like others to act as a gate-keeper, siding with some old guard and only allowing people well-versed in the Wikipedia grammar to have their say. I did not know it was necessary to use the four tildes to be recognized since it seemed to then be added automatically to my posts whether I used the tildes or not but I will remember that. I usually use the indentation, I only had an issue with making the sources visible, that's why they were not properly indented. I only used the <ref></ref> so that the articles don't take too much place, since I gave a lot of sources, but I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your help regarding the {{reflist-talk}}, I didn't know that. You may be surprised but I actually don't have that strong opinions about this topic ; as a matter of fact, I don't care at all about it. I just saw a clear mistake on a subject that I happen to know well and I thought that I would do my small part in furthering Wikipedia's mission, by correcting that small mistake. I thought that was it, but then I saw the lies and the bad faith coming from the other user, I felt appalled by that and decided to show him that he was wrong since I am pretty sure about the matter in question. When he kept willingly misreading what I was saying and twisting the facts in order to be right, I just said what I thought, not wanting to hurt anyone, not even seeing it as a personal attack. I agree that it could have been a little bit more civil but you eventually lose your patience when you're in front of a wall who makes his opinions prevail regardless of the numerous facts you present to him. Thank you anyway and have a nice weekend. Ucfberrada (talk) 22:14, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ANI Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:10, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Block

You have been blocked from editing for a period of one week for personal attacks. Intimating that a participant is "racist" is an egregious personal attack. Then, doubling down on "ethnocentrism" after warning, to me, clearly demonstrates that said warning did not produce the desired effect. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.
