User talk:Taharka155

User talk:Taharka155 hello. I noticed similar misuses in wording and outdated information/ perspectives. However, the formatting& procedures must be followed, changes properly sourced, and information must be unbiased, apolitical& impersonal. There shouldn't be 2 pages, only 1 streamlined page with ACCURATE information. The page is due for updating- it is 2022. As for discussions about ADOS or Obama/Kamala ethnicity scandals, those should be different pages, it has nothing to do with description of ethnicity. If you would like to work on creating a more updated page with me, you may contact. Thanks.

@Sociology In Action: I'm not criticising your comment, but I'd like to ask both of you to keep in mind that there are certain restrictions, see WP:TAGTEAM. I'm not opposed to updating the AA article, the only thing I'm saying is, "sources, not rigid schemes". --Rsk6400 (talk) 07:45, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

@Rsk6400: You are blatantly opposed to updating it, and have made it clear you are not interested in dialogue, and want to push a specific agenda with that page. Let's stop with the BS.--Taharka155 (talk) 05:46, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Direct, reliable sources needed for Days of the Year pages

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct reliable sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Almost all new additions without a reliable source as a reference are now being reverted on-sight.

Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.

Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 19:09, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

December 2021

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Rsk6400 (talk) 06:54, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:African Americans. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Referring to your sentence "Ethnocide is the only term that can be used for the purposeful erasure of an ethnic group, which is precisely what you are doing by saying anyone Black in race is an African American." Rsk6400 (talk) 10:17, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Rsk6400 You were not attacked. You attacked me by claiming that my statements were "beyond over the top" and discarding my edits without any consideration or discussion.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from African Americans (ethnicity). When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Rsk6400 (talk) 14:54, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to African Americans (ethnicity), without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Rsk6400 (talk) 17:52, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove maintenance templates without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at African Americans (ethnicity), you may be blocked from editing. If you remove again, I'll take the case to the edit warring notice board. You don't have to break the 3RR to be considered edit warring, see WP:EW. Rsk6400 (talk) 16:05, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

@Rsk6400: The issues you have raised have been addressed, and you have avoided directly responded to what I have written in the Talks section and have instead resorted to reversing my edits. I am informing you now that I will be reporting actions.--Taharka155 (talk) 16:12, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at African Americans 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.
I really suggest you self-revert. Otherwise I'll take the case to WP:AN/3RR. Rsk6400 (talk) 19:23, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Nomination of African Americans (ethnicity) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article African Americans (ethnicity) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/African Americans (ethnicity) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

– bradv^🍁 16:40, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

This page should not be deleted. If the main page is used to describe the legal definition/ US Census Category racial category currently named 'Black or African American', this page can describe the ethnic group. Sociology In Action (talk) 22:27, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Taharka155! Your additions to African Americans (ethnicity) have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 01:19, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Do not restore copyright violations

Your edit to African Americans (ethnicity) has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. DanCherek (talk) 02:24, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

@DanCherek:: My mistake. I re-added copyrighted content accidentally. I was editing the page when you first took the material down.

Edit warring at African Americans, and personal attacks

Hello Taharksa155. You've been warned for edit warring at African Americans due to a complaint at the WP:AN3 noticeboard. You may be blocked if you revert this article again without getting a prior consensus in your favor on the talk page. And avoid making personal attacks, such as accusing someone else of 'ethnocide'. People can have legitimate disagreements about the proper definition of races and ethnic groups. EdJohnston (talk) 03:30, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ethnic African Americans

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 Ethnic African Americans 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/African Americans (ethnicity). 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. Mccapra (talk) 02:41, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Taharka155,

If you recreate an article that was just deleted through an AFD discussion in the main space of the project, it will be deleted. The only way I know to overcome an AFD deletion decision is to work on a draft and submit it for review to Articles for Creation. If it is approved, it can be moved over to main space. This typically doesn't happen RIGHT after an AFD has closed but you could always give it a try. If there is a relevant WikiProject that concerns this subject, you could always look for support there, too.

If you have questions about article creation or Wikipedia's deletion processes, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:28, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

For your information

I took two of your recent edits to User_talk:EdJohnston#It's_African_Americans,_Taharka155,_and_me_again. --Rsk6400 (talk) 08:19, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

I don’t care, go cry to daddy. Taharka155 (talk) 08:23, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Lol you took that comment about Hitler’s people as statement against you. I’m not responsible for whatever you have on your conscience, that was clearly not directed at you. Taharka155 (talk) 08:42, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for Disruptive editing and personal attacks. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

African Americans Ethnicity Page

Concern about your talk posts

• December complaint about you at WP:AN3
• New complaint on my talk page by Rsk6400 about personal attacks

Hello Tahara155. Can you explain why you should not be blocked for this edit? You complain that a 'white German man' is protecting and curating the African Americans article. You also compare this editor to David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Kux Klan. Wikipedia does not have any restrictions on the ethnicity of the people who edit our articles. The target of your post, User:Rsk6400, is the same guy that you previously accused of 'ethnocide'. I regret that this kind of post is not compatible with editing here. EdJohnston (talk) 16:13, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

@EdJohnston, Why would I be blocked for literally simply stating the truth. That guy clearly owns that article, and will not under and circumstances allow anyone to edit it if he doesn't personally agree with the info even if its cited. I think with that in mind, Black users coming here to learn history should know that the man who controls that article and adds its info is not Black nor does he have any real credentials to be writing about Black history. I don't think you could know how frustrating, confusing, and infuriating it is to be a part of a marginalized community and go online to see that every major source of information about your people's history is controlled by a member of a group that has been oppressing yours for centuries, and removes anything including cited information just because he doesnt agree with it. Especially someone who thinks they have the right to dictate someone else's history and refuses to even dialogue about it.--Taharka155 (talk) 22:04, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

@EdJohnston, there is now also this [1] edit. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:51, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for Personal attacks.
