Thank you very much for your warm welcome and advice, I really appreciate it. It's always great to have the guidance of a more experienced person.

Of course, if I got questions I'll be staying in touch :)

Your recent editing history 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. - LouisAragon (talk) 12:46, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I see you're in an edit war in the Azerbaijanis article. Wikipedia policy of WP:3RR doesn't allow users to make more than 3 reverts under 24 hours on the same article or else you might get reported, so, I suggest instead of reverting the revert again, you try to open a discussion in the talk page and handle the things by discussion. Cheers. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 12:48, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was just about to message you for advice/help. I just think that the user LouisAragon is abusing his position and unnecessarily deleting a whole chunk of info I wrote and then also threatening to block me on shaky grounds. He could have just as easily asked me to change the sources to which my paragraph was referring or alternatively delete only the sentence the user disagrees with, instead, the user chose to get rid of everything which it seems the user is doing out of personal preference rather than for the benefit of the Wikipedia page. The language which LouisAragon used is clearly disrespectful which further leads me to believe that the true purpose of his edits is personal. I also just want to highlight that instead of continuously reverting my edits while giving snarky explanations for doing so, he could have also just as easily opened a talk page on my profile but he chose not to. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Creffel (talk) 13:02, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you think the user is deleting what you've written for wrong reasons, then you should still take it to the article talk page and explain to the user why you think their removal was wrong. You should always try to assume good faith in other users even when it's very hard for you to understand their intent. He's not trying to get you blocked, what he gave you above is a warning about the rule I mentioned in my previous comment, WP:3RR. If you think the other user is being mean/rude/not constructive/disrespectful, don't reply with the same tone as they have and instead try to be nice and understanding (this is not just about your conflict with LouisAragon, it's an overall recommendation). Also make sure to actually read the policies I have linked as they're the core policies of Wikipedia. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 13:13, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, thank you.

Hello again. You've been making great contributions recently, especially to Azerbaijani cuisine, thank you for that. I noticed this edit of yours and want to inform you about WP:BRD (also known as WP:CYCLE). Basically, when someone reverts your edit, it's better to take it to talk page to discuss before reverting their revert (this will lead to an edit war). This usually helps give more positive results on disputes. There are some exceptions on this, which is why I advise you to read the policy. Cheers. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 13:36, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. No worries, I just thought the Azerbaijani cuisine page is really underdeveloped so I try to help. Aaah yes, I did read WP:BRD, I just thought reverting in this case makes more sense since there isn't much discussion to be had, the bit I deleted went clearly and directly against Wikipedia's policies. But yes, perhaps reading WP:BRD again as a refresher wouldn't hurt. Thank you for your advice. – Creffel (talk) 13:47, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Emu War. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Nick-D (talk) 08:36, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Except I made a mistake and reverted the edit myself? – Creffel (talk) 09:13, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You revert every single of my edits for no reason. You are a vandal. 80.121.97.28 (talk) 10:59, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, you are going around removing "self-proclaimed" from NKR articles and adding it to North Nicosia. It's borderline propagandist behavior, so I don't think I even need to explain why I reverted your edits. If you want to improve the quality of NKR articles by adding new information fine, but you're not contributing to the quality of articles. - Creffel (talk) 23:23, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it is I, again. I have seen you continuously quarrel w/ an unconfirmed user by the IP address of 80.121.97.28, located somewhere along the Austrian-German border. I understand that both of you are fervent Wikipedia editors, and I applaud you for your efforts to supply the world with free information, but the behaviors of the two of you are so hostile that it is difficult to hold meaningful discussions w/ either of you. The story is always the same: They mass revert your edits, you go on to do the same, and the cycle continues. One edit that disturbed me especially was your reversal of the North Nicosia article, in which the user refers to the TRNC as "self-proclaimed", which is obviously the correct terminology, as is it appropriate for the NKR, however, that seems to be a major double standard on your part. I am not accusing you specifically of anything, but please at least tell that editor what is wrong w/ their edits. I will be posting a similar message on their talk page shortly. Thank you for your patience in advance, and please know that I am not faulting or attacking you for your actions. BaxçeyêReş (talk) 11:12, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I reverted the North Nicosia article because his edit was very clearly not genuine, the guy removes "self-proclaimed" from NKR articles and adds it to North Nicosia, ridiculous right? Seems like the guy is a propagandist of some sort so I didn't even bother explaining why I was reverting his edits. - Creffel (talk) 23:18, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, once again. I see that the IP address has been temporarily blocked for verbally attacking another user on several articles. Seems like the problem has thankfully been sorted out; I want to thank you anew for your patience throughout this tiring matter. BaxçeyêReş (talk) 12:19, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. No problems, thank you too and best wishes BaxçeyêReş. - Creffel (talk) 10:43, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thank you for being understanding when changing the map size, cause during your first edit the text below became messy but in your 2nd attempt, it became better with improvement which is why I have decided to keep the edit the way it is after your 2nd attempt. Thank you for understanding my point on the issue. Your Regards, Suomi2023 Suomi2023 (talk) 05:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah no worries, cheers - Creffel (talk) 11:45, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was just wondering if you are good at editing the map like back then with visa policy of Azerbaijan, do you mind helping me to edit the map of the visa policy of Peru to include Macau and Mainland China as one category with Visa-Free Travel under certain conditions which have been already stated? It would be really helpful and appreciate it. If you need more can contact and text me at the talk page or look at the details provided at the talk page of the visa policy of Peru. Your Regards, Suomi2023 Suomi2023 (talk) 12:06, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, unfortunately editing a map to add and remove countries requires additional knowledge specifically about map-editing. I don't have those skills, but I guess you can make a request at the map request of Wikimedia here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Graphic_Lab/Map_workshop Creffel (talk) 15:46, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for sharing the link, I will try requesting it from here. Thank you for also being understanding towards my questions and queries. Suomi2023 (talk) 15:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
