Hello! I'm Secretlondon. I just wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) have been reverted because they appear to have added incorrect information. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source, discuss it on the article's talk page, or leave me a message on my talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Secretlondon (talk) 23:09, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Which edits are you referring too? Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 04:17, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Changing dates of birth. Secretlondon (talk) 05:21, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Oh, you're talking about the edits on Alan Becker's article? I was just going by the information on the page that said he graduated high school in 2007 and thought the birthday may have been a typo, but anyways thanks for letting know my mistake and I can assure it won't happen again without first consulting the talk page. Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 06:06, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Well we need a published source - you can never just calculate it. Secretlondon (talk) 20:25, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Ambyr Childers edits

I have reverted your addition of content to Ambyr Childers because the changes were not sourced. Providing citations to reliable published sources is a basic principle for all Wikipedia articles. (Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources.) In the case of a biography of a living person, additional policies apply. (Please see WP:BLPPRIVACY and WP:DON'T PRESERVE.)

I appreciate your efforts to improve the article, but addition of content is an improvement only when it is properly sourced. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:09, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Alright I understand, the information details in early life section just seemed relevant to the article after previously being deleted, but you are right since they were unsourced, I'll make sure to check and look out for that next time. Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 01:16, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding. I should add that sources that are user-generated are not reliable for use in Wikipedia articles. WP:USERGENERATED lists some of those, such as IMDb. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:37, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to discussions about infoboxes, and edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes, 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

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.

M.Bitton (talk) 15:08, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Further to the above; Continued failure to follow MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE will result in trip to WP:AE. FDW777 (talk) 08:09, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Ok thanks for letting me know, I'll keep that in mind for next time then. Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 08:23, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

CS1 error on List of designated terrorist groups

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page List of designated terrorist groups, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A missing title error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 02:50, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

Pointless copyedits

Edits like these to Union (American Civil War) are not helpful, and are usually the opposite. Either you are pointlessly rephrasing the same points using more words, or you are adding your own characterizations of events without any reference to cited sources. That is your original research, and Wikipedia does not publish original research. Remsense 🌈 论 02:25, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Naval arms race

I undid this edit as I don't believe historians have characterized the pre-WWII naval buildup as a naval arms race. Do you have any sources that say it was? Thanks, Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 15:26, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

We'll have seen some historians and other material sources on the matter characterize as something along the lines an arms race but would need to search a reference in historical sources that describes it as such. Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 01:05, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

ArbCom 2025 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2025 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 1 December 2025. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Disambiguation link notification for November 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Government, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cambridge Dictionary. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:59, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Operation Southern Spear

US politics is a contentious topic, and you are edit warring at Operation Southern Spear; please engage the talk page, and provide a source for Maduro as a POW. You're received above another notice about contentious topics; pls read it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:17, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

My bad I was mistaken for not find a source for it first, I'll be sure to consult the talk page when adding or re-adding previously removed content to it beforehand next time. Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 12:31, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

April 2026

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Naval blockade of Iran. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. 9ninety (talk) 11:59, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Smiling Friends, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Adakiko (talk) 11:42, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

May 2026

Hello, I'm Smallangryplanet. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, but you didn't provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Smallangryplanet (talk) 07:30, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Contentious Topic Alert (Arab–Israeli conflict)

You have recently made edits related to the Arab–Israeli conflict. This is a standard message to inform you that the Arab–Israeli conflict is a designated contentious topic. Additionally, editors must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert on the same page within 24 hours for pages within this topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. Smallangryplanet (talk) 07:33, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi friend. I appreciate you trying to help with the U.S. Wars/ Conflict pages, but...

This is actually a wider series of article 1 main index article and 6 list articles. I personally do not mind, but could you please change all 7 to reflect this? Dasomm and I are the main guys who work on the article at this point. There were more, but we are the only 2 consistent editors anymore on these pages.

Note 1 on the index article goes over the longstanding consensus on wars/ conflicts etc. Nothing precluding your changes in fact, it may be better, though I want to hear Dasomm's thoughts.

Lists of wars involving the United States#Notes

Also side note for consistency you may or may not want to do the same for the UK Index articles and its Wars/ Conflicts.

Lists of wars involving the United Kingdom as well as the List of wars involving England and List of wars involving Scotland. Not sure what they will think of it over there my friend, I do not work on that set as much except on occasion.

I want to emphasize that I appreciate you being bold, and trying to help. This is something to be encouraged. (: Historyguy1138 (talk) 23:09, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Ok I understand what you're saying, I'll keep that in mind for next then . Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 10:17, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Notice regarding page moves

Please stop moving articles without prior discussion, as you did recently. On Wikipedia, renaming or moving established pages—especially if the move could be controversial—should generally not be done unilaterally.

Instead, the correct procedure is to build consensus by proposing a **Requested Move** on the article's talk page. Unilateral moves can disrupt links, break incoming search traffic, and create confusion for other editors.

• If you believe an article should be renamed, please see the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to start a formal discussion.
• You can also review Wikipedia:Article titles to learn more about our naming conventions.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Dasomm (talk) 23:48, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: State of Singapore (May 28)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, .nhals8, left the following feedback:

This draft appears to be generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You cannot use LLMs to generate article content.

LLM-generated pages with certain obvious signs of being machine generated may be deleted without notice.

These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies:

• hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references.
• unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual.
• copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations.

Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.

See the advice page on large language models for more information.

Promising article, but needs more sources and reads a bit like AI.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:State of Singapore to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Participants in the Cold War (July 3)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, Cosmic840, left the following feedback:

This draft does not include any sources or inline citations. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources. You should also use inline citations (footnotes) to show which source supports which specific statement.

The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

You must place an inline citation directly after:

• quotations;
• any material whose verifiability is likely to be challenged or is contentious;
• any material about living people.

Learn how to create inline citations in the:

• Source Editor: Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup.
• VisualEditor: Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:Participants in the Cold War to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

== Welcome and introduction to contentious topics ==

Hi Cockfightermaster1969! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the Troubles. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing, it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules. This designation is broadly construed, so if you have to ask whether a particular edit is covered, you should assume it is.

Any edits you make contrary to the contentious topic procedures are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to your being blocked from editing. If you have any questions about the contentious topic procedure, you can ask for help!

As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:

Related to Cockroach Janta Party

Hello. I reverted your recent addition of "Anti-BJP" to the ideology field because I couldn't find a reliable secondary source supporting that characterization in the article or in your edit. If you have a source that explicitly describes the movement's ideology that way, please feel free to discuss it on the article's talk page or add it with an appropriate citation. Thank you.

Edit WAR

You appear to be engaged in an edit war. An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly revert each other's changes. Please do not revert or undo the edits made by other editors when your changes are reverted. Instead, use the talk page to discuss how the page can represent consensus among the editors involved. Here is some advice on how to do this. If discussions get stuck, you can request a third opinion, ask for help at a relevant noticeboard, or seek dispute resolution.

Edit warring can result in being blocked from editing, especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts within 24 hours on one page. Undoing any other editor's work, in whole or in part, involving the same or different material, is a revert. 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. Slatersteven (talk) 13:34, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

My apologies, I guess I got bit overly enthusiastic about editing but I promise it won't happen again now. Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 13:44, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Reverted edits

Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. However, I have reverted (rolled back) your three most recent edits on the January 6 United States Capitol attack: article . This is a contentious topic area. These edits might be WP:OR and considered to be inflammatory. Please discuss these edits on the talk page before restoring them to the article to gain consensus. Regards, ---Steve Quinn (talk) 12:55, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

CS1 error on 2013 North Korean nuclear test

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page 2013 North Korean nuclear test, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A URL error. References show this error when one of the URL-containing parameters contains an invalid URL. Please edit the article to fix the URL. (Fix | Ask for help). Below are the references causing this error:

August 2026

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to 2013 North Korean nuclear test when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Specifying |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= needs to be defined in the template in order to work. You can look at the documentation for the template being used, but it is also helpful to use the preview button before saving an edit; this helps find any errors that have been made and ensures that the values added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is highly recommended that editors use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions of if I can help explain further, please let me know! You can also contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 17:47, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

Notice of Edit WAR on the List of Wars Involving the U.S.A. article and sub articles

You appear to be engaged in an edit war at Lists of wars involving the United States. An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly revert each other's changes. Please do not revert or undo the edits made by other editors when your changes are reverted. Instead, use the talk page to discuss how the page can represent consensus among the editors involved. Here is some advice on how to do this. If discussions get stuck, you can request a third opinion, ask for help at a relevant noticeboard, or seek dispute resolution.

Edit warring can result in being blocked from editing, especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts within 24 hours on one page. Undoing any other editor's work, in whole or in part, involving the same or different material, is a revert. 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.
and its subarticles, List of wars involving the United States in the 20th century and List of wars involving the United States in the 21st century. Please use the talk pages to reach a consensus rather than deleting article sections. The main list article has a very specific list of criteria to be included and note included with multiple notes and exceptions to be as precise about the scope of these lists as possible. If you disagree with any of these criteria to be included or not included, please go to the talk page to discuss it before reverting. Specifically you have gone against at least 3 criteria without talk page discussion. You have also removed the same sections several times over the period of several months and were told to please not do that without talk page discussion, by more that one editor on both your talk page and in the edit notes.

The criteria:

1. "Examples for criteria that are not included" Example 2 on embassy attacks note 3. Embassy attacks are note included "Unless there is an active U.S. military defense or response in an isolated incident."
2. "Criteria for inclusion on these lists" Note 1 last sentence " To display a wider sense of the scope of U.S. involvement in "wars", these lists focus on any military conflicts involving the United States military regardless of size."
3. "Criteria for inclusion on these lists" Note 6 full paragraph.

Good faith and being bold will still be assumed as of this point. But please refrain in the future from section deletions without discussion. Thank you. Historyguy1138 (talk) 15:02, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Ok understood, apologize for the disruptions. Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 15:43, 25 August 2026 (UTC)
