Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Genetic studies on Russians, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

• Copying text from other sources
• Policy on copyright
• Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
• Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Baykar Bayraktar TB2. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. BilCat (talk) 01:49, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Radimichs, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Rite and Radim. 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) 06:04, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Mechanized battalion! Your additions to Jack the Ripper 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. 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.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• 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 either 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.
• 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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) 14:20, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Your images

I've removed several of the low-quality images you have been adding to various articles. I'm also pretty sure that reverting all my edits--as you have been doing--is going to help keep these low-quality images on all the articles you've added them to. I urge you to read MOS:IMAGEQUALITY. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:20, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Quit nit picking. Those are history and it is allowed. Mechanized battalion (talk) 17:22, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2023

Your recent editing history at Battle of 73 Easting 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; read about 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:53, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

I am done with Wiki. You are being picky denying readers of history. Mechanized battalion (talk) 18:05, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

I see that all of the images from the many battles you participated in (with camera in hand) have been deleted. In the future, please respect our copyright policies, and do not edit war to re-insert photos that aren't yours. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:22, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

I was in the U.S. Army in the Golf War smartass. You could not find those photos I uploaded anywhere else if your pathetic life depended on it. That being said I will never do an ounce of anything for you people again.Mechanized battalion (talk) 22:47, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2023

Hello, I'm The Kip. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Battle of Prokhorovka, 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. The 95th Guards are cited as having contributed in the buildup to and aftermath of the battle, but not as having participated in the main engagement itself. The Kip 22:17, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Ambroży Mikołaj Skarżyński

Hey, I deleted your inclusion of him in several Napoleonic War articles. Kindly remember that the lead sections are summing up the articles, so if you want to include him you have to work that into the main text. At the same time there are several factual errors (like e.g. rank and command at the time) so better get those facts straight, just as undue weight could be an issue for inclusion at all. I also changed a few things in the biographic article largely for similar reasons. Not to discourage you from working here, hope you continue and thanks for editing about military history. Regards ...GELongstreet (talk) 20:25, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on improving this article about my cousin. Mechanized battalion (talk) 12:03, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Reverting

Please do not just revert edits because you don't like them. At the least, leave a detailed explanation in an edit summary, or better, start a discussion on the talk page. Your revert is particularly disruptive, as a policy was cited in the edit you reverted. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

You are the one doing that. I created this article. Quit acting like you own Wiki. Mechanized battalion (talk) 22:57, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

You again reverted my edit, with the edit summary: "I wrote 90% of this article and I am the one who created it. Quit screwing it up." This is not an acceptable reason to revert an edit. per WP:OWN. Please revert your edit, and then start a discussion on the article talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:07, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with it. It has been this way for years and you come along and now decide there is an issue. Grow up. Go out and enjoy life instead of being........ Mechanized battalion (talk) 23:08, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

I would start a discussion on the talk page about your edits, but as you have pointed out, our dispute is because feel you own the article, so there really is nothing to discuss. Second, personal attacks are not permitted; please strike through the vile name you called me above. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:31, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

You start it. You are the one with the problem not me. Mechanized battalion (talk) 00:03, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

February 2024

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at Talk:Task Force 1-41 Infantry. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Drmies (talk) 22:13, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

I am going to ignore him. How about approving the three articles I have in the sandbox and then I am done here for good? You will never have to worry about me doing anything again. Mechanized battalion (talk) 22:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

February 2024

You have been blocked from editing for one week for contravening Wikipedia's policies against personal attacks and harassment. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Calling another editor a "Nazi" without solid evidence is unacceptable behavior. Cullen328 (talk) 22:18, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

How do you know he isn't? He is restricting my freedom of speech. Mechanized battalion (talk) 22:21, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Freedom of speech has nothing to do with this. --Onorem (talk) 22:23, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

It has everything to do with this. I will contact the owner of Wiki. Mechanized battalion (talk) 22:30, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

This is not a free speech platform to attack people without evidence. Your block is indefinite now because you are evading a block of your account User :Don Brunett. Cullen328 (talk) 22:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Evading a block of my account? If so then you have lost some financial support. Mechanized battalion (talk) 22:36, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Are you going to let me back on or not on the 11th? Mechanized battalion (talk) 22:43, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Your block is indefinite. The Wikimedia Foundation has net assets of $240 million and an endowment of $100 million. They will do just fine without your financial support. Cullen328 (talk) 22:45, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

That is just rude. Then you people need to quit begging for donations. Mechanized battalion (talk) 22:45, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

As it turns out, the WMF are the ones who post all of those "please donate!" banners every year; we volunteers have nothing to do with the banners, and in fact frequently express opposition to them. Not that that, or any financial support you may or may not have given, has any bearing on your block. Wikipedia is not "pay-to-play"--financial donations have nothing to do with editing Wikipedia. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 22:50, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

You are nothing but a volunteer denying me of the right to edit and create here? Pathetic. Mechanized battalion (talk) 22:53, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

I think we're done here. Drmies (talk) 22:55, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
