Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 10:21, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

DearDiannaa, as I mentioned in my edition, I know it may be copyright violation. But I couldn't edit it more, because my English is not good enough to prevent it. So, in the description of my edition, as I asked: please someone who can, edit it to not to be a copyright violence.

This paper is incomplete and significantly needs the descriptions I added. I'd appreciate if you edit it to be compatible for Wikipedia. As I said before, my English is not good enough to do it. :)Shkuru Afshar (talk) 01:20, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

How about this one:

Original:

The International Telecommunications Satellite Organization is an intergovernmental organization that incorporates the principle set forth in Resolution 1721 (XVI) of the General Assembly of the United Nations, which establishes that communication by means of satellites should be available to the nations of the world as soon as practicable on a global and non-discriminatory basis.

My writing:

It incorporates the principle set forth in Resolution 1721 (XVI) of United Nations General Assembly, which expresses "All nations should have access to satellite communications".

If it is OK, I'll transfer it to main page. But for the Revision and development, I need your help. Because my English is not very good.Shkuru Afshar (talk) 01:53, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

The new version is okay. Sorry but I don't have time to help you write articles. If you don't speak English well enough to edit without violating copyright law, perhaps you should edit instead on your home language wiki. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:23, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Vanisaac. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Sahar Zakaria have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Please stop breaking the infobox by reverting to nonsense parameters. VanIsaac, GHTV ^cont_WpWS 08:03, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi

That wasn't an experiment and I don't need any assistance.

You reverted my edit without asking.

Sahar Zakaria has never married.

If you search her name in Persian you will find out that her relationship with Reza Bahmani is just a lie to discredit her. Iranian regime has also broadcasted that she has a daughter from him but they tried to hide it. Because, she is one of the protestors against Iranian regime in last 2 years. Adding value of "رضا بهمنی" to spouse parameter has been done by IP 5.126.35.56 without any evidence. But it couldn't be seen because of the mistake that he did and because of your edit it could be seen.

You didn't even bother check if there is any reference but gossips and didn't even bother to use at least a translator like Google Translate to change the value to "Reza Bahmani" and not "رضا بهمنی".

Mentioning my edit as a "nonsense parameters" and ""experiment" and offering assistance is sarcastic. Shkuru Afshar (talk) 08:24, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

• If the information is not accurate, then remove it and have a content discussion on the article talk page if anyone objects. Just don't go around reverting technical cleanup, clogging up tracking categories with bad parameters. Putting |spous رضا بهمنی = into an infobox is undeniably nonsense to anyone who knows even the most basic of Wikipedia editing, and by your own admission, in no way was it an attempt to add accurate information. So please forgive my kindness in allowing for the possibility of mistaken experimentation. VanIsaac, GHTV ^cont_WpWS 09:04, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Re: Kowsari

The notability criteria for the English Wikipedia is completely different to that of the Farsi Wikipedia, and currently, no articles exist here on English for the other persons listed on Farsi. If you believe some or all of those individuals meet our notability criteria, consider writing an article about them yourself. Jalen Folf (talk) 01:08, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

January 2024

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi

OK Shkuru Afshar (talk) 06:16, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Template categories should be placed on the template's /doc (documentation) page, not on the template page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:51, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

@Jonesey95:Please review my edit on {{UF-hcard-geo}} for categories. Shkuru Afshar (talk) 06:20, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Template talk:Paid contributions, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Please do not make edits that you do not understand, as you did on this Template Talk page. The content you added is only for template documentation pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:48, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

This edit to an infobox template was also broken. Please ask for help and use edit summaries. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:56, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

I have fixed and reverted more invalid edits that you made to templates. Please do not change templates if you do not understand what you are doing. These templates are live, transcluded into dozens or hundreds of articles that people around the world can see. – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:03, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi

I tried these edit on so many infoboxes before.

Why <noinclude>{{documentation}}<!-- please place categories and language links on the /doc page, not here! --> cause that infobox to break? Shkuru Afshar (talk) 07:59, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

It's not that, although adding that message is not useful. It's adding unknown parameter checking without adding a tracking category. I recommend using the script to add this parameter check, at User:Frietjes/addcheckforunknownparameters.js. To see how it is added to your editing screen, see the relevant code at User:Jonesey95/vector.js. When you create a tracking category, copy the existing code from a similar category and change the template name in the code. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

1) Adding a message is completely useful. Personally, 5 years ago by reading that message, I learnt I should add categories and language links on the /doc page and not the main of the template.

2) You accused me to break the infoboxes with my edits. Not using User:Frietjes/addcheckforunknownparameters.js doesn't cause them to break. That was a false accusation.

If your problem was not adding a tracking category you could tell me, and not revert my edits. Plus, I have seen infoboxes here that didn't have a tracking category and they were working fine and were not reverted.

Please don't do these. If you have problems, tell me, and don't revert my edits. Specifically, when the infobox doesn't break. Just a correction, is enough. Shkuru Afshar (talk) 19:19, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

These are the kinds of reverts you will experience when you do not use edit summaries and do not explain the changes you have made on the templates' talk pages. Experienced editors will see a non-standard edit that does not have any explanation and are likely to revert it. I fixed one or two of them for you, creating the tracking category, but when I saw that there were eight or ten of the same edit, reverting was the reasonable path. You are welcome to re-add unknown parameter tracking to these templates, but please add tracking categories, alphabetize the parameters, use edit summaries, and add a link to the tracking category to the template's documentation page. Look at nearly any other infobox that uses unknown parameter tracking to see the standard way of implementing it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:36, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

It is not a reasonable justification as my edits didn't break infoboxes. Shkuru Afshar (talk) 21:07, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

More specifically, there is no justification for reverting my edits on adding comments about add categories and language links. Shkuru Afshar (talk) 21:10, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Not using summary is not a reason for revering edits. Shkuru Afshar (talk) 21:10, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

You said adding comments about add categories and language links has caused infoboxes to break, which didn't. That was false accusation. Shkuru Afshar (talk) 21:17, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Again, you could tell me about them, not revert them. Shkuru Afshar (talk) 21:17, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Please link to one of my reverts in which I claimed that adding an HTML comment was invalid and the only reason for a revert. If I did that, it may have been an error. Also, I think you may be wrong about edit summaries. Per WP:EDITCON, which is a policy (not just a guideline), All edits should be explained (unless the reason for them is obvious)—either by clear edit summaries, or by discussion on the associated talk page. I expect that you will use edit summaries for all of your edits to template pages from here onward. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:15, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

I was talking about add categories and language links comment. Shkuru Afshar (talk) 06:25, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
