July 2022
Hello, I'm Loafiewa. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Type 100 submachine gun, 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. Loafiewa (talk) 20:29, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry. I just had trouble citing my source. If your wondering my source is this: Jowett, Philip S. (2002). Japanese Army 1931-1945, Part 1. Men-at-Arms. 362. Osprey Publishing. p. 40. ISBN 1-84176-353-5. Salfanto (talk) 13:34, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Tsing Dao Submachine Gun
Hello, Salfanto. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Tsing Dao Submachine Gun, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 03:02, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Tsing Dao Submachine Gun
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/48px-Information_icon4.svg.png)
Hello, Salfanto. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Tsing Dao Submachine Gun".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 02:47, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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 special powers 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 practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
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. Prolog (talk) 20:51, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
General sanctions
![]() | This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in Russo-Ukrainian war. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. |
Please note that only extended-confirmed users are allowed to make edits related to the Russo-Ukrainian War (WP:GS/RUSUKR). Additionally, your source failed verification. Sources need to directly support the content being added. Prolog (talk) 20:51, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
May 2023
Please do not add or change content, as you did at OTs-12 Tiss, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Loafiewa (talk) 17:14, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- It's just an appearance in a video game. Would I have to cite the game's website? Salfanto (talk) 17:23, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- As per MOS:POPCULT, you would have to cite a reliable secondary source. Loafiewa (talk) 17:26, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- ok Salfanto (talk) 17:31, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Can I cite a video of gameplay for OTS-12? Salfanto (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- ok Salfanto (talk) 17:31, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- That would be an example of a primary source. Loafiewa (talk) 17:45, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- Hi. I'll add a source for the owen gun in german hands also known as the Maschinenpistole 752(e). Does this one work?
- https://www.axishistory.com/various/138equipment/equipment/4257-fremden-geraet-captured-small-arms Salfanto (talk) 23:45, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- again sorry for not citing right away Salfanto (talk) 23:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not really sure why you'd say that, seeing as you just made a string of unsourced edits. Verifiability is a core content policy - if you are going to add content, it is expected that you also add reliable sources to corroborate it. Loafiewa (talk) 20:14, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- ok 👍 Salfanto (talk) 21:34, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
7th Battalion Arei
Hello, 7th Battalion Arei is part of the 253rd Defense Battalion of the 129th Brigade. Its not a separate unit. It was before it joined with the brigade. They use the term battalion, but its strength is unknown. It also makes it strange to have a battalion within a battalion. Most likely they have more freedom, but are administratively attached to 253rd. Your addition to the article should be worded better a little to avoid confusion. Thank you for adding references and improving article. Ceriy (talk) 15:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Ok! I'll fix up my article to improve it. Any suggestions on how to improve it? Salfanto (talk) 17:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Nomination of Battle of Neskuchne for deletion
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of Neskuchne 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 until the discussion has finished.
Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 12:37, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- anything i can do to prevent the article from being deleted? Salfanto (talk) 13:34, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
September 2023
Your edit to Type 26 revolver 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. Loafiewa (talk) 16:07, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Combat Vehicle 90. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. No mention of Russia being an evaluation user in WP:RS. TylerBurden (talk) 21:55, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from War crimes in the Russian invasion of Ukraine into Georgian Legion (Ukraine). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:04, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. Ill be sure to do that with future edits that require copying Salfanto (talk) 00:48, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
25th CAA large emblem
Is the current image with empty shield a placeholder? Thanks, RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 17:22, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- No its the actual current emblem. I got it from the website globalsecurity.org and it's a reliable source for military matters Salfanto (talk) 18:59, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
- The consensus at WP:GLOBALSECURITY is that it is not reliable. How do you know their image wasn’t a placeholder? Reverting. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 19:07, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Great emblem of the 25th Combined Arms Army.gif
![⚠](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Ambox_warning_blue.svg/35px-Ambox_warning_blue.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Great emblem of the 25th Combined Arms Army.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:24, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to War crimes in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Prolog (talk) 12:53, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at M1 carbine. You have been told about the verifiability policy plenty of times now. Continuing to add unsourced claims, conjecture, and OR as you have done at this point can only be viewed as disruption. Loafiewa (talk) 17:45, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- The line "On 26 October 1944, in response to the Germans' widespread use of automatic weapons, especially the Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifle, the select-fire M2 carbine was introduced, along with a new 30-round magazine." is taken from the "Selective-fire version" on the M1 carbine article which someone else had added. I added it to the M2 section to try and help give context. I hope that clears things up Salfanto (talk) 17:53, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Not really, verifiability is not conditional, see WP:BURDEN. Loafiewa (talk) 21:28, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
January 2024
Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Perry High School shooting, you may be blocked from editing. ––FormalDude (talk) 23:52, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2nd Light Mechanized Division (France), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Division. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 17:49, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as ETVS submachine gun. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 04:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
