[edit]

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Oliver Kelaart, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Anwegmann (talk) 15:00, 11 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Whats is the issue with mentioning his nationality? How is it inappropriate, disruptive and hard to read? Valerio465sa (talk) 15:12, 11 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
It is a very long-established consensus via WP:FOOTY and WP:MOSETHNICITY that secondary citizenships are not mentioned in the ledes of footballers. If a player was born in one country but represents another internationally, the nationality in the lede becomes ambiguous and the phrase "Born in [birth country], he plays for the [new national team]." So adding a hyphenated nationality both goes against consensus and complicates the lede unnecessarily. Anwegmann (talk) 15:36, 11 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Gloriosa superba. Anwegmann (talk) 15:03, 11 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

About the warnings

[edit]

I don't know why @Anwegmann started right off with a "level 3" warning and went to "level 4" over your edits. I know it's frustrating for a new editor to have so many edits, which seemed to be reasonable ones, to be reversed right way, especially when no explanation was given in the initial round of edit summaries. With that said, it's a good idea, when your changes are reverted for reasons that are unclear to you to inquire, either on the talk page of one of the articles or on the talk page of the user who reverted you, as to their reason. In any event, multiple rounds of two or more editors reverting each other is considered WP:edit warring, which is considered disruptive and can itself lead to your being blocked, especially if you the three-revert rule. Whatever your concerns are about how others are treating your edits, you should keep that in mind. Largoplazo (talk) 17:07, 11 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

The Sri Lankan Portuguese Creole articles

[edit]

Regarding your edits to the articles relating to the Portuguese creole in Sri Lanka, I find substantial evidence that it's considered in academic sources to be one of the languages making up the family known as the Indo-Portuguese creoles, regardless of the technicality that Sri Lanka isn't and never was treated as part of India. The native languages underlying it, after all, each belong to one of the two major language families to which most of the languages of India belong, and there is presumably a lot of shared history and contact leading to familial similarities. Consider that Persian is a language of neither Europe nor India, yet it is classified as an Indo-European language. Largoplazo (talk) 17:15, 11 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

November 2025

[edit]

Stop icon You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war, according to the reverts you've made to Anudi Gunasekara and Miss World Sri Lanka. This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected to collaborate with others, avoid editing disruptively, and try to reach a consensus – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.

Important points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive behavior – regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.

You need to discuss the disagreement on the article's talk page and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution if discussions reach an impasse. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to engage in edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. The Bushranger One ping only 06:13, 10 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
