Hi, you keep reverting my edits labeling them as plagiarism when they aren't. Can you please explain to me why you do that, provided that I add many references to every paragraph I write? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sefarat90 (talkcontribs) 23:27, 6 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello, your recent activity suggests that you keep deleting material and removing content while changing it with totally other topics. This article Egyptians is for the historical ethnic group, you can't simply wipe them off the map and say they didn't even call themselves Egyptians. Also xenophobic remarks like attacking a writer because of his/her nationalities are against Wikipedia Rules. Thanks. Treannmust (talk) 23:53, 6 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Dude I am Egyptian! I am not wiping anyone off the map. Read the references I am providing or read any text from the 18the century instead of starting only at the 20th century. Identifying as an Arab doesn't make you less Egyptian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sefarat90 (talkcontribs) 00:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sir this isn't an Egyptian site, this isn't a blog either. You need to stop removing articles based only on the topic -Identity-, the article has many sites, news, and articles all supporting the content. The article actually mentions Arab identity and Muslim identity, all with articles on the specific topic. Not from Pashas on a different topic where they made no difference between all Arabic speaking nations and called all Syrians, Sudanese, Egyptians, Algerians..etc Arabs. Also you need to stop plagiarism. Treannmust (talk) 00:16, 7 October 2019 (UTC) Treannmust (talk) 00:16, 7 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

I added sources citing how Egyptians Identified themselves, if you have other sources from that era then add them, I won't remove them. In fact it would be great to have more references. Also, what plagiarism exactly? I wrote every word of that except the citations. The article still presents all the opinions in a more balanced fashion chronologically, without stressing on one point of view. If you want to add something, do it, but don't remove my entire effort, reading, getting sources, and writing, in one click just because you don't like my edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sefarat90 (talkcontribs) 00:45, 7 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your contribution! I value it. I still have some minor comments on your edits, and might make some little modifications in the upcoming days, but nothing will be significant. However, I have one major comment, the quote that you listed wasn't the one that I actually meant. That might be because I listed the page number from the Arabic Book. If you don't mind can you remove it? I am not home now but I can give you which section it is in exactly so you can find it if you have the English version. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sefarat90 (talkcontribs) 01:24, 7 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your recent editing history at Egyptians 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Egyptians, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Albanian (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.)

  Hello Treannmust, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Egyptians have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:22, 14 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
