let bygones be bygones

If you promise me that this is the end, and all other disputes in the future will be resolved through discussion of sources, rather than emotions... I see no reason why we can't collaborate greatly in the future. I have many flaws, but one of my best qualities is that I have a very short memory :) PS, you are correct regarding the removal of Malenkov from the USSR leader section in the infobox, but I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about it...
:I think the only way to get ErickTheMerrick to stop is to block him; what do you think? We already have sufficient evidence of bad behavior, which can be characterized as not following up on conclusions from discussions and refusing to engage in further discussion. What do you think?--TheUzbek (talk) 06:59, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

:I wouldn't do such a thing. TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 07:21, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
::So what is the solution, then? TheUzbek (talk) 13:25, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
:::Nevermind. He is very much an issue. TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 20:33, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Avoiding cut-and-paste moves

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi, and thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give :Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia ↗ a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into :Reichsgau Danzig-Westpreußen ↗. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move ↗", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history ↗, which is legally required for attribution ↗. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits ↗, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab ↗ at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu ↗ for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect ↗ from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves ↗ to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge ↗. Thank you.  DanCherek (talk) 07:48, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Added references to Kingdom of Nangchen ↗

Hi there, I have added several references (citations) for an article you created. Reliable sources are a must to make your article meet the criterias of WP:NOTABILITY ↗ or else, they might get deleted.
The following might be very helpful for your future edits-

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines ↗ for new pages, so it will be removed ↗ shortly (if it hasn't been already). Please use your sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard ↗. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article ↗. You may also want to read our introduction page ↗ to learn more about contributing. Thank you. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 14:33, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

30px|link= ↗ You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war ↗ according to the reverts you have made on :Saddam Hussein ↗. 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.'''  Skitash (talk) 22:17, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

:No consensus reached on what image should replace the 1998 image. Disputed content is on ''you''.
:I hope this helps! TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 22:19, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=|link= ↗ 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, as you did at :Saddam Hussein ↗, you may be blocked from editing ↗.  Skitash (talk) 11:40, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

:Disputed content must be resolved first by consensus. Because no consensus was reached to replace the 1998 image, nor was there consensus to specifically replace said image with the 1960s portrait, the original image stays. TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 00:37, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

WP:3RR ↗

You are breaching the WP:3RR ↗ rule. If you don't revert your changes soon, I will get administrators to look at this case.

You are forcing your opinion on Wikipedia, forcing WP:Original Research ↗ on Wikipedia. It does not look good. This needs to stop. TheUzbek (talk) 06:30, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi, TheUzbek! 
:No I'm not.
:I hope this helps! TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 06:46, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
::Then I will report you for breaching WP rules; there is a good chance you will get blocked.
::Hopefully, in the future, you will understand that the world does not revolve around you. You can't force your opinions on Wikipedia. You clearly have no understanding of what a communist state is, how it functions, and the institutions that make it a communist state, which makes this whole conflict even more absurd. I advise you to actually grasp the study area you edit before actually making edits.. TheUzbek (talk) 17:05, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
:::You were blocked for behavior like this before. I hope you will eventually learn from your frequent mistakes. TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 02:10, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
::::I have not engaged in edit wars; I have participated in discussions. How is my behaviour blockable? Everything I have done is based on reliable sources; you based you're arguments on personal opinions. Frankly, from what I can gather, you have been reverted on nearly all pages, and still you continue. So stop pretending this is about me! TheUzbek (talk) 05:16, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at :Talk:Vietnam ↗. 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''' 21:35, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

:Not getting consensus to change the form to 'people's democratic state' and using sources out of context to paint a narrative sounds pretty disruptive to me, but sure. We'll say that. TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 21:52, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

:It's so crazy how I literally am and said I was doing that brah TheodoresTomfooleries (talk) 22:08, 4 August 2025 (UTC)
:No, that is absolutely not how it works, that you just blitz your preferred versions in—and then others have to impress you in order to maybe establish consensus for changing them back. You do not get to hold articles hostage like that—that's an even more egregious level of willing disruption. You have clear unifying issues here, and you did the B in BRD ↗, now you have to actually make your case as the one who wants to make many similar changes against articles with variously established consensuses.

Orphaned non-free image File:Auferstanden aus Ruinen (instrumental, sample).mp3.ogg

35px|text-top|left|⚠|link= ↗ Thanks for uploading ''':File:Auferstanden aus Ruinen (instrumental, sample).mp3.ogg ↗'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use ↗. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media ↗).

Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:06, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited North Korea ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kim family ↗. 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) 07:58, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

If you believe there are errors in the content, please provide a clear explanation. Currently, comments such as "no" or "what" are insufficient for discussion, and I cannot understand the problem.

::::::Personally, my work is based on research using information from the Japanese Wikipedia. "1932年（大同元年）3月1日の満洲国佈告1により、国号は「滿洲國」と定められている。この国号は、1934年（康徳元年）3月1日に溥儀が皇帝に即位しても変更されなかった。ただし、法令や公文書では「満洲国」と「満洲帝国」が併用された。帝制実施後の英称は正称が「Manchoutikuo」または「The Empire of Manchou」、略称が「Manchoukuo」または「The Manchou Empire」と定められた。" Additionally, whether it is Manchukuo or Manchoukuo, I have never encountered names using "Manchuria". Manchuria is a geographical term rather than the name of a regime, although they share a common origin, they are not the same. Mayo Crim (talk) 04:20, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
