Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

[edit] please do not do page moves without consultation. Discussion and time are required to move pages - and be very careful of WP:IDONTLIKEIT vs WP:NPOV and similar issues in relation to page titles - just because you have an argument with a title does not mean you move it on the sport. Thanks. JarrahTree 09:16, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- Further to the above, please stop moving genocide articles without discussion. Many of these have been agreed and debated over the years, and WP:CONSENSUS is needed for a new title. If you wish to propose new names they should go through the WP:RM process. THanks — Amakuru (talk) 13:05, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
Move Anfal Genocide to Kurdish Genocide 1986-1989
[edit]Hi Poundofdonuts,
I have seen that you moved the page Anfal Genocide to Kurdish Genocide 1986-1989 with the argument there was a requested move in December 2018. Now I have not seen any discussion about the requested move on the Discussion page of the article. Could you please clarify your move? Thank you, Lean Anael (talk) 16:31, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
- Poundofdonuts, have you had any other accounts on the English Wikipedia? ——SerialNumber54129 13:42, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Poundofdonuts: I notice you were poor at communication with all your other accounts too. ——SerialNumber54129 09:52, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 9
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Indian massacres, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cholula (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 09:09, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
Nomination of Mongol destruction of Iran for deletion
[edit]A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mongol destruction of Iran is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mongol destruction of Iran 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. Ymblanter (talk) 06:59, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Please do not delete a section of an article (in this case "History of Iran") for no reason. Please look at my response on the talk section of that article. Migboy123 (talk) 09:48, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from History of Iran into Mongol destruction of Iran. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:29, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
you ignore all messages?
[edit]There are requests further up your talk page regarding WP:RM ? Is there something that needs to be explained about the process? JarrahTree 01:03, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello Poundofdonuts: please beware that there needs to be a very special reason for a person to have more than one account, especially if those accounts are used to edit in the same articles. Also, please be more careful and see to it that you are not logged out when you're editing--again, in the same articles. Finally, it pays to be communicative here. Drmies (talk) 01:51, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- Poundofdonuts, I am not joking. I will happily block that range you are operating from. Logged-out editing is disruptive, especially if you already have a history of creating multiple accounts. Drmies (talk) 13:51, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Drmies: go ahead, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Accopulocrat. Cheers, ——SerialNumber54129 19:51, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
