Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 74.132.73.79, removed content without giving an explanation. Please always provide an informative edit summary when removing content from pages.

Here are some other hints and tips:

I recommend that you create an account. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of creating an account. (If you edit without an account, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Peaceray (talk) 05:00, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Z. Patterson. I noticed that you recently removed content from Ten Commandments without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Z.

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at for the articles listed at Special:Contributions/74.132.73.79, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You simply cannot remove citations from nearly twenty articles without some explanation. Even if you find that www.gotquestions.org to be a non-reliable source, you need to explain why you are removing it. Peaceray (talk) 05:08, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours to prevent further disruptive removal of material.

@Peaceray: See meta:Requests for comment/Gotquestions and Tektonics. That explains their removals. tgeorgescu (talk) 20:25, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

74.132.73.79, I am unblocking you as per the discussion on meta listed above. However, please note that removal of any material without an edit summary explaining why you are removing material may lead to reblocking. Peaceray (talk) 20:51, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Peaceray (talk) 20:51, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Please stop removing links for Charles Spurgeon's Treasury of David. If you continue then you will be blocked.

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

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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. CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 00:34, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may add [unreliable source] to the References if wanted, I believe it is not necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valorrr (talk • contribs) 00:22, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologises

I am very sorry 74.132.73.79 for reverting you. You were in the right. I should have paid more attention to what you were trying to remove. You are right in that GQ is not reliable (Thank you for bringing that up!). Thank you, CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 11:09, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Thanks for the apology. :) 74.132.73.79 (talk) 23:59, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
