Overlinking on Nigerian Civil War

Hello Ojemba24,

I noticed that Pbritti reverted your edit of Nigerian Civil War because that edit overlinked the article. The Wikipedia Manual of Style section on overlinking here may be helpful in understanding what overlinking is and how it can be avoided.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, in your recent edit to Culture, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Remsense ‥ 论 20:41, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Remsense ‥ 论 09:07, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ojemba24, you need to be able to communicate and incorporate feedback from other editors if you want to be able to continue editing. Unfortunately if you're not getting these messages, you're likely to be blocked for disruptive editing if your present editing patterns continue unaltered, as you are continuing to make the same errors in a disruptive manner. Remsense ‥ 论 09:15, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Snowflake91 (talk) 10:53, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. Remsense ‥ 论 11:09, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Red Auerbach, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically, titles are written in WP:SENTENCECASE, with only the initial word capitalized. —Bagumba (talk) 06:37, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per the MOS:BIRTHDATE example, there is also no comma after the parenthetical dates, like you did here.—Bagumba (talk) 06:41, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.Remsense ‥ 论 06:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

November 2024

You have been blocked from editing from certain namespaces ((Article)) for a period of 1 week for disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. asilvering (talk) 01:56, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I hope this meets you in good faith.

I acknowledge all my errors and have taken my time today to read the manual of style, but I came online only to discover a change in the duration of the temporary block. I was blocked for 31 hours earlier today, but now, it's been extended to 1 week.

It will be much appreciated if detailed reasons for this is given. Thank you so much. Ojemba24 (talk) 22:09, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't speak for Asilvering, but if I had to guess, it is so that further disruption does not occur due to your wanting to participate in the edit-a-thon, which at the moment is still ongoing with an end date of 2 December. The fact that editors have been encouraged to make a large number of contributions in a short time is really most of the reason this has been as disruptive as it has been, in my opinion.Remsense ‥ 论 22:14, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's alright. But some of my team members received a last warning notification during the course of this attempt while I received none. Moreso, I will be grateful if my errors (not that of other team members) are pointed out directly to me as it will help me in learning and prevent future re-occurence.

From my point of view, giving an abrupt ban without pointing out the errors I made is not good enough. Thank you so much. Ojemba24 (talk) 22:32, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the linked thread where much of this has been discussed, you will see that certain people were considered to have been insufficiently warned, and thus were given a final warning. On the other hand, you can see plainly above that you were absolutely not "abruptly" blocked—you were given multiple warnings beforehand, including a final warning. Is this insufficiently clear?Remsense ‥ 论 22:46, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ojemba24, to be unambiguous here, @Remsense is correct. I didn't give you any other warning because you had already been given a final warning. Since you started editing, you have been contacted twelve times by five different editors. Furthermore, I was blocked for 31 hours earlier today, but now, it's been extended to 1 week. is an absurdly disingenuous statement. We can all see your block log, which is public. The 31-hour block was a mistake I fixed inside of two minutes. You did not come here, see you had a 31-hour block, then come back to find yourself pblocked for a week hours later. That didn't happen. -- asilvering (talk) 23:37, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
