Thank you for uploading File:Great Turkish War 2 collage.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Notice

The article Ottoman–Spanish War has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of such wars exist between the Ottomans and Spain and is very misleading; Rational similar to Tfd discussion on December 5, 2023

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nice work

[edit]

Hi Vbbanaz05, I have just browsed through your list of articles created. Nice work. Have you considered running any of them through Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Requests? Mostly for peer feedback, but also to see if any of them are up to B class. In which case you may care to have a run at the contest.

I was particularly interested in Siege of Mutina (218 BC) and Hannibal's raid to Rome as I have been working on articles from the Punic Wars recently. Eg, I have taken articles on Battle of Ticinus, Battle of Lake Trasimene, Battle of Utica (203 BC), Battle of the Trebia, Battle of Zama and Battle of New Carthage to FAC in the past year. Note that I try to avoid using primary sources, in line with WP:PRIMARYSOURCE. Reliable secondary sources are preferred. On line reliable sources include Lazenby and parts of this. Other books and many journal papers can be also be found on line or through the Wikipedia Library. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:16, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I joined WikiProject Military history only because I am interested in history. I would like to participate in the contest, but I am new to Wikipedia, I only started in October, but I will review it. Thank you so much again. Vbbanaz05 (talk) 00:04, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Soviet–Japanese War into Harbin–Kirin Operation. 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) 01:44, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thanks for creating this article. When we translate or borrow from other language wikis it’s a requirement to acknowledge the source. The best way to do this is to include it in your edit summary (e.g. “translated from es.wiki”) and there’s also a translation template you can add to the talk page. I’ve added it for you. Happy editing and please leave a message on my talk page if you need any help Mccapra (talk) 05:50, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:11, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Preview – Consolidate – Summarize

[edit]

Hello- Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:

  • Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
    • The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
  • Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button). Note: An edit summary consisting merely of the letter "v" does not provide any useful information to other editors.

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric talk 18:31, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

[edit]

Hi Vbbanaz05! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a contentious topic and is subject to some strict rules.

The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the prohibition on making any edit related to the Arab–Israel conflict unless you are logged into an account and that account is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.

This prohibition is broadly construed, so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning the conflict to their article or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates to the conflict.

The exception to this rule is that you may request a specific change to an article on the talk page of that article or at this page. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our neutral point of view and reliable sourcing policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on biographies of living people as well.

Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being blocked from editing.

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

You must be logged-in and have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days to edit pages in this topic area. Users not meeting this criteria may edit talk pages to make specific edit requests, but may not participate in general discussions.

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.
