Your recent editing history at Oromo people 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.

Hi, I was asked to look into an edit conflict concerning this article. What is the major differences between the two versions of this article? I've looked at both versions, & beyond the fact one has 6 citations & the other 5, I don't see any differences.

There is no conflict; I was updating and correcting the article. The initial article had many grammar mistakes and bias, so what I did was I got information from the past history of the article and connected it with the article that I changed. Perhaps the person who is attempting to have conflict with me finds that what I corrected was biased? I am not sure.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Hello, I'm Socialwave597. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view.

I understand that Wikipedia aims to achieve correct information and prevent misinformation. The article of Balcha Safo had citations that did not say he was of Gurage descent. In fact, I have looked far and wide and haven't found one source of even claiming Balcha Safo of being Gurage. The only sources I found was his ethnicity being of Oromo descent.

Is there any reason why you keep reverting my edits without adequate reason? Your rationale appears lacking. There are numerous pages employing a similar format. Collages in articles save space and show lots of different things in a small area, making the reading experience better. Moreover, the earlier version of the page neglected to feature several crucial figures from this ethnic group, a mistake now remedied in the updated content. Furthermore, I've included additional images and made improvements to the page. Please refrain from reverting these changes.

I've already stated my reason. You should read my reasoning again. I will explain it to you here once again. Collages are not appropriate when the article is referring to an ethnicity. Show me an ethnic article that has a format like that.

The Arabic version of the Oromo page follows this format. As I've mentioned before, your reasoning is insufficient. Do you see how sections like Music, Literature, and Food have collages of images representing their respective topics? Given this, why wouldn't it be appropriate to have a collage featuring more prominent individuals who go beyond their personal skills? Overall it fits the page more. So respectfully, stop revering my changes JUMPp1harm (talk) 00:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240307005800","author":"JUMPp1harm","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-JUMPp1harm-20240307005800-Abrasax123-20240307004900","replies":["c-Abrasax123-20240307010800-JUMPp1harm-20240307005800","c-JUMPp1harm-20240307012900-JUMPp1harm-20240307005800"]}}-->

Who is talking about Arabic? I am referring to the English locations of Wikipedia. Find me one article that is related to an ethnicity that has that format. Sections like Music, Literature, and food are ok with collages because they are not based around an ethnic group. Another line of reasoning is that the people shown in the collages are already mentioned in the article if you even checked. The Amhara article has already been through this some months ago and we reverted and it was justified, so if you want to start problems then that is fine with me. You are the one who will be getting the punishment, likely a ban from editing.

Why does it matter what language it is in? The format is still used nonetheless. I decided to implement this format for the page after observing it on the Arabic Oromo page, and I'm certain that similar formats exist on other English pages as well. This format aligns better with the page because each section already features various images of people representing that particular aspect. It only seems logical to apply the same approach to the main image with prominent individuals especially for significant figures within the ethnic group, such as Haile Selassie, who previously wasn't even included on the page. Overall, this format enhances the page's coherence and relevance, prioritizing important individuals over random ones. If my efforts to improve the page result in a ban, then so be it.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!
