Hello, I'm OnlyNano. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 2025 Boulder fire attack, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. OnlyNano^talk 17:54, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The video was on X. I could not get it to link. Just leave it in the page history for now. Best Macbrindle (talk) 19:41, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Fort Mill, South Carolina, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:25, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What I posted in the page is absolutely factual and sources do back it up. Also I liver here, you are not to tell me what I know or not know. You need to immediately add my edits back they all have verifiable resources. Also Carowinds was already on the page, I just added to it and explained what it is. You removed all the information ***verifiable with the soure*** on Jim Bakker. Macbrindle (talk) 16:46, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please respect existing WP:ENGVAR spelling and grammar in articles such as Public Sphere, and Air India Flight 171, which uses Indian English, and many others. I've restored the correct spellings in those case. Please also take a look at MOS:OVERLINK, specifically in regards to country and city names. Celjski Grad (talk) 16:07, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, thank you for the advice. Macbrindle (talk) 14:45, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hi Macbrindle! 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 Arab–Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules.

The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict, which includes discussing articles on talk pages, unless you are logged into an account that is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.

This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict.

The exception to this rule is that you may request a specific change to an article on the talk page of that article or at this page. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on biographies of living people as well.

Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being blocked from editing.

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

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, 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.

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.

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.

Unaware I received a notice here. My content is verifiable but new here so did not know 500 edits/30 days rule. Only other changes other than what I contributed have been grammar related. Best Macbrindle (talk) 19:43, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Those are what we call WP:GOODFAITH edits. You can’t be expected to know the rules before being presented with them (and there are a lot of rules). That’s the purpose of the alert, and there’s no reason to remove your good faith edits that improved the article. 500 goes by faster than you’d think, I hope you enjoy your time here. Mikewem (talk) 04:59, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've read most of what I can, but seems like everytime I think I got them down, somethings else pops up. All good, I will live and learn, just happy to help where I can! Macbrindle (talk) 16:48, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making edits to material covered by WP:ARBPIA, you may be blocked from editing if you continue engaging with extended confirmed restricted content. Mikewem (talk) 19:32, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Fort Mill, South Carolina. 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. glman (talk) 18:03, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet definition of edit way per definition "An editor who repeatedly restores their preferred version is edit warring, regardless of whether those edits are justifiable. Claiming "My edits were right, so it wasn't edit warring" is not a valid defense.". This was the first time doing anything. They took verifiable, important information about my hometown down for no reason. It is extremely VALUABLE information to readers looking to learn about the town. And its all literally linked to sources. My edits are factual, valuable, and should be reinstated. I do not understand why they should not be. Macbrindle (talk) 18:11, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

you mean to tell me deleting all the information about latest number of homes and the economic statistics is not valuable? Macbrindle (talk) 18:12, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This information is not notable, nor is it properly sourced. Feel free to discuss it on the talk page of the article for other editors to help refine it. glman (talk) 18:18, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a blatant lie and please immediately republish this information or I will have to raise a dispute resoluton Macbrindle (talk) 18:34, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The way to resolve a dispute is to discuss it on the article talk page. glman (talk) 19:07, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Macbrindle. Thank you for your work on Adsorption operations. Another editor, Ldm1954, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

I am very dubious about this article. We have strong articles on adsorption and desorption, and many parts of this spill over into coatings -- this is classic surface science. In a Wikipedia sense the dominant source [3] is WP:SYNTH as it combines established science under a different neologism. I suggest improving the article first then going through the AfC process.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Ldm1954}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
