General Ization is trying to take a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon. Most likely, however, General Ization will not be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and will probably be back a lot earlier while making some small edits every once in a while anyway.

Mullah Omar - Texas 17 Deletion

How can I improve my input on Mullah Omar's Wikipedia page and not be too general or vague?

I addressed, who, what, when, where, why, and how? Is that not good enough and if not, why?

Respectfully, Texas 17 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Texas 17 (talk • contribs) 18:51, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Texas 17: Your edit was completely unsourced, therefore unverifiable, and consisted only of your opinions and original research. Unless you can cite reliable sources both for all of the "facts" you related and your conclusions, Wikipedia policies dictate that none of your added content can be included in the article. Click on the links for more information on those policies. General Ization ^Talk 03:22, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why you say the above? Do you know that the information that i deleted is in fact true? Christodoulos2016 (talk) 23:12, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Christodoulos2016: Yes, because the statement you removed is supported by the sourced statements in the body of the article. If you would like to explain your argument for removing the claims, please do so on the article's Talk page, but if you continue to remove sourced content from the article you will likely be blocked from editing.

No Warning?

I have spammed several users in the past (without knowing, I'm new to computers), but what surprised me was the fact that you didn't give me any warning. I know that I am a new editor, but I won't overreact to a warning. - ZLEA (talk) 21:43, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ZLEA: This message on your Talk page was a warning, and has been my sole interaction with you. General Ization ^Talk 21:52, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't look like a warning, but OK. - ZLEA (talk) 17:48, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ZLEA: OK, call it a request to stop doing what you were doing. I didn't mention specific consequences if you didn't, and as far as I know you have not incurred any consequences by not doing so. In that sense, I considered it a warning, nothing more and nothing less. What other form would a warning have taken? General Ization ^Talk 18:07, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you sir for the correction

I noticed your assistance on a "mercy Johnson" article I edited, I am thankful for that but, let it hereby be established that In no way am I being biased by the sentence I made. I am Nigerian, Are you Nigerian? If you aren't , it means I claim superior knowledge to you in that regard & what I wrote is nothing but the truth & in no way promotional.

If I were to say "Halle Berry" is an excellent actress would you then query me? Of course not, because you know that as a truth and as a fact.

This same applies to "Mercy Johnson" & the people of Nigeria. she is an "excellent" and "brilliant" actor a good percentage of the African people would attest to this, if in doubt do a google search on the subject and see her list of awards.

THANK YOU ! Celestina007 (talk) 22:34, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Celestina007: The only thing of which I claim superior knowledge to you is Wikipedia policies, policies of which you seem to be unaware. Please read Neutral point of view, a policy which makes it clear that we as Wikipedia editors cannot include our personal opinions on the subjects we write about in articles; Reliable sources which explains that content we add to articles must be supported by citations of reliable, independent sources; and WP:Words to watch#Puffery, which provides examples of words, like"excellent" and "brilliant", that are subjective (based on personal opinion) and not appropriate to use in describing our subjects unless we are quoting (and cite) reliable, published, independent sources that use them. There are others that apply, but these are a good start to explaining why I reverted your edit, and will do again if it is repeated. General Ization ^Talk 23:32, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't use the word "Brilliant" or "excellent" in the original texts you deleted. Did you even read it before deleting/reverting it, if I may ask? I used the word "good" & well If it is provision of reference sources to support claim that subject is a good one, then that is what I would give to you in excess & still add a sentence or two, to the BLP so the world can know she is a good actress.

An advice? Focus on what you are sure of and let people within a specified geographical location focus on that which they are sure of. Okay? It saves a lot of stress. Celestina007 (talk) 01:42, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Celestina007: You used the terms "excellent" and brilliant" in your comments above, in trying to make a case why they would have been perfectly appropriate for you to use. You stated in your edit that Johnson is "known for good interpretation", without stating who knows or even thinks this of her and why they do so (much less citing a source for that claim). It is therefore nothing more than an opinion, expressed in the voice of the encyclopedia, which has no opinion. Please read the policies I mentioned and follow them. They do not vary by the geographic location of the subject of the article. While I appreciate your advice, you should consider also mine. General Ization ^Talk 01:47, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And yes, since you asked, I did read your contribution before I reverted it after determining that it violated the policies I have mentioned. I do not revert any edit without first reading it. General Ization ^Talk 01:49, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
