Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

You have shown interest in the Syrian Civil War and ISIL. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, 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:

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.

Note that you may need to have Extended confirmed status to be able to edit articles or topics related to Armenia and Azerbaijan. You can ask an administrator for further clarification. See: Wikipedia:Requests for administrator attention. Bogazicili (talk) 11:22, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to clarify that I was not accusing you of anything in this edit and I assumed that the edit was made in bad faith by some IP (the reason why I mentioned vandalism) which I wasn't able to pinpoint since when I last read the article a few months ago, the wording was different. Theofunny (talk) 12:40, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have cited an entire book for the sentence you added: However, others have accused McCarthy of exaggerating the number of Muslim victims in the Balkans.

Restricted topics

[edit]

Hi. See WP:GS/AA as several Armenia and Azerbaijan related topics are under an extended confirmed restriction. You are not allowed to edit these topics as you’re not an extended confirmed user. Vanezi (talk) 16:20, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The edits themselves didn't have any problems right so I can add it when I become an XC user? I wasn't really aware of that because I was under the impression that only the conflict related articles cannot be edited and many IPs as well as new users had edits on some of those articles. Theofunny (talk) 16:29, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the content you added to Persecution of Muslims during the Ottoman contraction was copied directly from the book, and thus was a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia. Diannaa (talk) 16:48, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Iranians in France, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Iranians.

Upto is not a word. Also, read the entirety of your sources. You cited a reliable source but the source itself didn't give the figure you wrote. In fact, the reliable source you cited said the figure was unreliable (see diff). Yue🌙 20:11, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Toddy1. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Chinese Communist Party in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. Your edit summary said Easter egg, coatrack.

  • In Wikipedia an "easter egg" link is where the visible text hides an unexpected link - for example Nita Ambani. There were no such easter eggs in the text you deleted.
  • In Wikipedia "coatrack articles" are articles that get pay more attention to other connected subjects than they do to the nominal subject of the article. That was not the case either.

In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with a truthful edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can discuss it on Talk:Chinese Communist Party. Thanks.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:20, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"'Great Zimbabwe Rv edits by a alt right guy" Doug Weller talk 17:17, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Was going to say the same thing, but also there’s consensus to exclude periods at Talk:Great Zimbabwe#Ancient or medieval? Kowal2701 (talk) 17:26, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also blanking your talk page is generally frowned upon and it looks suspicious, which checks out given most posts are about your conduct. I recommend WP:Archiving Kowal2701 (talk) 17:29, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree about the deletions. We'll see how this person responds. Doug Weller talk 17:53, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies, probably shouldn’t have piled on Kowal2701 (talk) 18:21, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Kowal2701: There's nothing wrong or suspicious per se with someone blanking their user talk page; it perfectly OK to do as long as its done in accordance with WP:BLANKING. Although archiving is better in many ways, a user talk page's page history is itself essentially an archive, and a record of any post made to the page can be found there. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:26, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Idk, you often see IPs or NOTHERE users blanking warnings so they keep getting the first level ones. Blanking automated messages is okay imo, but blanking discussions about conduct looks like you’re trying to hide it. Would give an example of a talk page that looks authentic but has had warnings blanked, but don’t want to single anyone out Kowal2701 (talk) 12:05, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you need to see an example of something that's perfectly OK to do in terms of relevant Wikipedia policy and guidelines? Blanking of user talk pages is allowed except under certain conditions. The reasons why someone blanks their user talk page doesn't really matter per se. If they're making problematic edits, they'll eventually be dealt with regardless of whether they blank or archive because it's their edits that are the problem. User warnings are just a way of letting others know they might be doing something wrong in the hope they will modify things accordingly; they're not a way for punishing users. If someone is doing things that are so bad that they're getting lots of level-one warnings from different users for doing it, then that person's ship has long sailed and adding higher level warnings isn't going to matter to them; they will need to be dealt with by a Wikipedia administrator. Users aren't required to respond to things people post on their user talk page, but that also doesn't mean they can continue to do as they please just because they choose to ignore what's others have posted. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:15, 13 February 2025 (UTC); post edited. -- 21:58, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The source quoted didn't call him libertarian. He has been described as far right by Reuters as well as NotesfromPoland. Also, there was a statement from him there that was never actually said by him and he also didn't call for Polexit. I've let it be far-right to right wing until consensus can be found. Theofunny (talk) 06:09, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
hey! sorry for reverting, but you're wrong sayong there's nothing like that in the source. In the past, Mentzen has called the EU a totalitarian state, campaigned for Poland to leave and proposed legislation introducing "unbreakable marriage".

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Start school later movement. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Mast303 (talk) 22:46, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stop edit warring

[edit]

Stop icon Your recent editing history at Start school later movement 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. Mast303 (talk) 14:10, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May 2025

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Civil War (film). 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.

Request reason:

I did wrong, I ask for forgiveness and I am ashamed of myself especially for personally attacking Sundostund who is a really good member of this community and one of the editors that I was inspired by in my early days. I did not even realize who it was that I personally attacked until now. I wrote that after being severely sleep deprived but that doesn't justify it at all. I have never used an IP to influence any discussion or edit war. What I wrote to him was what someone else attacked me with in real life (it was someone else's view) which makes it even worse. I feel too ashamed to apologize to him rn. If I meant what I said, I wouldn't have made so many edits to improve this encyclopedia. I really hope that the community forgives me. I commit to never editing as an IP. I am not going to edit Wikipedia at all for 6 months in a self-imposed punishment. But please unblock me as all my edits from this account as well as logged out editing, most of which are constructive would otherwise be mass reverted. I have put a lot of effort in cleaning up pages, reading sources and adding content in a neutral way despite whatever my beliefs might be. I will never attack any editor, even a vandal again. Please check the checkuser logs again after 6 months when I ping you, I won't have edited in any other form. Thank you for being so generous. Theofunny (talk) 09:05, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

If you aren't going to edit for six months, there is no need to remove the block as blocks only prevent editing. If you made edits in violation of your block, it is permitted(but not required) to remove them- that just comes with the territory. They are stored in the edit history and can be restored if needed once you are unblocked. 331dot (talk) 10:00, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Request reason:

I have changed my mind and do not wish to take a break for 6 months. I want to take up Admin Moneytrees offer to commit to editing only from this account, never harass any editor again and apologize to the editor involved.

Accept reason:

Accept with a one account restriction, which will be logged at Wikipedia:Editing restrictions/Voluntary. This is indefinite and can be appealed in six months at a noticeboard or towards me. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 14:18, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]


  • Hello Theofunny, I didn't get your earlier ping so I'm just seeing this now. I'm willing to unblock, but to be clear, this also precludes you from logged out editing; incidental logged out edits are ok, but continuous logged out edits will be seen as a violation of the restriction. Are you ok with that moving forward? Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 23:29, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I am committing to no logged out editing. You can check my checkuser logs, I've not violated the block.@Moneytrees Theofunny (talk) 14:41, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to endorsement sources

[edit]

If you read the note from my change to the AIPAC endorsement, you would see that the sources (while reliable) do not support what the wikipedia page is claiming. I apologize if [better source needed] is not the correct edit to make, but a better source really is needed here 2601:155:4200:8D00:BD4B:F7B5:937A:337D (talk) 15:35, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Gaza war

[edit]

Hi, the text in your Gavin Newsom/Shawn Ryan interview edit is out of sequence, mixed together and generally confusing. I was going to just revert, but I'll give you a day or so to clean it up. The video has subtitles and a transcript. (That doesn't mean someone else won't come along and revert in the meantime, though.) Cheers Patternbuffered (talk) 09:50, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Give me a day or two and I'll do it. Do you want me to include the transcript too? Wouldn't that be copyvio or excessive since I've included the timestamo? Thanks for sharing your concerns. Theofunny (talk) 15:59, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, I suggested the subtitles and transcript as an aid to make sure what you put in the article, and in what order, aligns with what was said and when it was said between the timestamps of the video segment. Right now, it does not. Patternbuffered (talk) 00:40, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Are you satisfied with the content now? Theofunny (talk) 22:38, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if your reply was a poor attempt at humour, but obviously you've done nothing. A summary may not have to perfectly match the timestamps of an interview segment moment-by-moment, but it should be coherent. Yours is disjointed and confusing (see below). Do you think this is a proper response to my (quite gentle and constructive, I thought) feedback?
Views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Gaza war
In July 2025, Newsom said on Shawn Ryan's podcast that after the October 7 attacks, he strongly supported Israel's right to defend itself,
[? Could not find]
calling the events "a terrorist attack by Hamas"
[47:10]
and expressing "deep reverence for the state of Israel and the Israeli people".
[46:55]
Shortly after the attacks, he visited Israel, met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog, and facilitated a California-funded field hospital.
[46:45]
"My family married a lot of Jewish family… I feel always connected to that country", he said.
[47:01]
Newsom also expressed concern for civilians in Gaza, saying: "Jesus, I mean, look at these children… starving. Enough.
[47:15]
All these poor children. When's enough enough?"
[46:35 - invalid quote, patched together from 2 different timestamps]
Acknowledging Israel's security concerns, he urged a shift toward diplomacy: "I pray there'll be an Abraham 2. I pray Saudi deal Israel. I pray that we can begin to negotiate for peace."
[46:02]
Citing the high Palestinian death toll, he warned: "40,000 families… are going to have a point of view" that could impact global security.
[48:10 - where did he suggest that could impact global security?]
Newsom urged restraint from Netanyahu and elements of his coalition "that are rabid on this topic",
[49:17]
calling for "cooler heads to prevail."
[49:10]
He praised the Abraham Accords
[48:33]
and supported continued U.S. diplomacy, calling the moment "an extraordinary opportunity…
[49:00 misquoted "extraordinary moment"]
to get a pathway to peace and do it immediately".
[49:26]
Reflecting on the encounter with Netanyahu "in the bunker", he said Netanyahu's comments made more sense in hindsight, calling his mindset "understandable" but adding,
[47:40 - what encounter? when? in what bunker?]
"I mean, enough."
[46:30- misleading, quotes out of sequence]

[Begins at 49:13] Patternbuffered (talk) 00:47, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote that in good faith because the copyeditor somewhat cleaned it up.
How is that misleading? Obviously, I can't add it entire transcript as it is and it needed to be reworded and shortened.
About global security, he mentions safety while travelling and safety while eating in American cafes. Also, he does say that he supports Israel multiple times so the assertion that he supported Israel shouldn't be controversial and he also gives way more detail in his immediate support.
Gavin Newsom: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia I've improved it after rewatching the clip and taking some of your suggestions into account. Theofunny (talk) 01:37, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Patternbuffered Since another editor has removed the content giving valid reasons, I consider this discussion closed. Thank you. Theofunny (talk) 16:18, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You accuse me of vandalism when...

[edit]

@TheofunnyI added an archive link and a few tweaks to the formatting. Adding bibliographic information is disruptive? Is it really? I don't think so. Also, you should watch you tone when you are speaking to someone. Wikipedia's policy on assuming good faith as well as the policy on being civil. Seriously. I added an archive link and that's unacceptable? I feel like that's toxic. So, the little edits that sometimes people can make only because they have a short amount of time or not OK? Can you please print the policy out to me? You know a lot of people quit editing Wikipedia because of toxic behavior and nasty comments like yours. TheYearbookTeacher (talk) 20:19, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. You removed well-sourced content about the subject’s mother's controversies, and the edit summary you used didn’t really explain what was being taken out. That kind of summary can be misleading, and another editor noticed and reverted the change. I used a standard warning template that addresses misleading summaries, it wasn’t personal.
Now you’re saying my comment was toxic or uncivil, but I’d really encourage you to take a second look at what I wrote. There were no personal attacks, and I’ve tried to stay within Wikipedia’s guidelines, including assuming good faith and being civil. Removing well-sourced information without a clear edit summary or with a misleading reason is something that naturally draws attention from others.
That said, I get it. Sometimes people are short on time or just trying to make small improvements; things can get misinterpreted, and content mistakenly removed. I do appreciate your work here.

This diff (earwig) adds a paragraph copied from the source. REAL_MOUSE_IRL talk 11:57, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Close paraphrasing from NYT, CTRL+F for "While publicly". Keeps the paragraph structure with lazy substitution ("Burned" becomes "Concerned", "counseled" becomes "advised" etc.) REAL_MOUSE_IRL talk 12:21, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree on the first count that it was copyvio and only tweaked a bit. It was very concise and I couldn't find anything to reword (its not present in the article now because of an editor objecting to it) but I disagree on the latter. The paragraph is significantly reworded and somewhat shortened from the NYT piece, the details are also not mentioned. I am changing the "while publicly" part.

Lakin Riley Act

[edit]

Hello Theo, we have some contention with some edits. Please note that "X was one of 46 Democrats who voted this way" is in no way encyclopedic. I could conjure up a hundred different votes, with sources, that could say the same thing. Provide an authentic rationale for including the sentence (which was copy/pasted across several WP articles), as to why the vote is important and why it is relevant to the article subject. Otherwise it's just another vote. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 16:41, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your appropriate edits. Sorry for the spirited disagreements, the edits in question were originally added en masse across 47 congressional BLPs without any context--hence my scrutiny. PerpetuityGrat (talk) 19:09, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your good-faith input. I appreciate your perspective and want to clarify that my earlier reverts were not meant as a personal slight. Theofunny (talk) 19:19, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. As it turns out, the user who added the copy/paste content is very likely a sock and is ban evading: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/DisuseKid. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 21:41, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
