    File:Information.svg Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in :2018 NBA Finals, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically per MOS:IMGSIZE, avoid specifying a fixed pixel size for images.Bagumba (talk) 14:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

    File:Nuvola apps important.svg Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at :2017 NBA Finals, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please do not specify pixel size of images.Bagumba (talk) 15:12, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

    :Hi sir Bagumba, are you an admin? don't get me wrong, i am trying to making everything easy to read and pleased to see, what's the point if the picture is too small in specified phone or cheap phone (like i noticed in my phone), not every one has a privilege of a expensive phone, tablet or even laptop, it's just i have tried my best to balance the pics, but thanks for the constructive criticism, nice to talk to you mister! Ira varia (talk) 15:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

    ::Hi there. You can customize it in your preferences. See {{section link|Help:Preferences#Files}}. That's the idea behind MOS:IMAGESIZE, since one size might work for one editor but look different for another reader, depending on their device. Thanks. —Bagumba (talk) 16:23, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

    File:Information.svg Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to :Saul did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

    The edit summary field looks like this:

    {{The edit-summary field/OOUI}}

    Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting {{myprefs|3|check=Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary}}, and then click the "Save" button.

    File:Information orange.svg Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in :2024 United States men's Olympic basketball team.

    Olympics All-Star Five

    There is no consensus to include All-tournament designations in the players’ infoboxes. I’m the case of LeBron James, his MVP award for that event is already listed so of course he made the all-tournament team. There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Basketball on the topic that you are welcome to take part in, but do not add this any more until that discussion concludes Rikster2 (talk) 14:10, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

    File:Information.svg Hi Ira varia! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of :LeBron James several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

    All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at {{TALKPAGENAME:LeBron James}}, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Writ Keeper  15:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

    Please help me with...

    Hey sir just wanna inform you there's a lot of vandalism on Yom Kippur war wikipedia page they are changing the war results section now from "Israel military victory" to "Disputed" and now to "aftermath" I thing you need to restored it back to "Israel military victory' as it actually happened, I hope you take action as soon as possible sir, best regards, thank you. Ira varia (talk) 07:46, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

    :Hi,

    :The Yom Kippur war article hasn't been edited for 48 hrs, and the most recent edits were by bots. I'm not seeing any vandalism there?

    :In the future, if you wish to request page protection, go to WP:RFPP. Or if you would like to report specific user(s) committing vandalism, you can do so at WP:AIV. Both those channels are well-monitored, so you will likely get a faster response.

    :Note, though, that there is a difference between vandalism and content disputes. The latter should be in the first instance resolved by discussion on the talk page of the article in question.

    File:Information icon4.svg There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Borgenland (talk) 11:47, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

    :Since the 1970s the consensus of the Yom Kippur war 1973 was won by Israel (State of Israel) it's clean and clear, and now after Gaza war 2023 I noticed in the article of the Wikipedia of Yom Kippur war that already exist since 2019 the first time I've read it, and the results of the war in the War info box of this article was deliberately changed, especially in the results, it's changed to the Disputed and then now Aftermath from previously Israeli Victory or Israeli Military Victory, and what they change is not the parallel at all from of the content or paragraph of the article regarding the end of the war like this one:

    :Final situation on the Egyptian front

    :By the end of the war, the Israelis had advanced to positions some 101 kilometres from Egypt's capital, Cairo, and occupied 1,600 square kilometres west of the Suez Canal. They had also cut the Cairo–Suez road and encircled the bulk of Egypt's Third Army. The Israelis had also taken many prisoners after Egyptian soldiers, including many officers, began surrendering in masses towards the end of the war. The Egyptians held a narrow strip on the east bank of the canal, occupying some 1,200 square kilometres of the Sinai. One source estimated that the Egyptians had 70,000 men, 720 tanks and 994 artillery pieces on the east bank of the canal. However, 30,000 to 45,000 of them were now encircled by the Israelis.

    :Despite Israel's tactical successes west of the canal, the Egyptian military was reformed and organized. Consequently, according to Gamasy, the Israeli military position became "weak" for different reasons:

    :One, Israel now had a large force (about six or seven brigades) in a very limited area of land, surrounded from all sides either by natural or man-made barriers, or by the Egyptian forces. This put it in a weak position. Moreover, there were the difficulties in supplying this force, in evacuating it, in the lengthy communication lines, and in the daily attrition in men and equipment. Two, to protect these troops, the Israeli command had to allocate other forces (four or five brigades) to defend the entrances to the breach at the Deversoir. Three, to immobilize the Egyptian bridgeheads in Sinai the Israeli command had to allocate ten brigades to face the Second and Third army bridgeheads. In addition, it became necessary to keep the strategic reserves at their maximum state of alert. Thus, Israel was obliged to keep its armed force—and consequently the country—mobilized for a long period, at least until the war came to an end, because the ceasefire did not signal the end of the war. There is no doubt that this was in total conflict with its military theories.

    :Egypt wished to end the war when it realized that the IDF canal crossing offensive could result in a catastrophe. The Egyptians' besieged Third Army could not hold on without supply. The Israeli Army advanced to 100 km from Cairo, which worried Egypt. The Israeli army had open terrain and no opposition to advance further to Cairo; had they done so, Sadat's rule might have ended.

    :And you Sir Borgenland as a regulator you don't do nothing to fixed that, most of the user that changing the edit was clearly Egyptian, one of them Turnopoems, and they are immediately reporting me after I correct the War info box, just because they changing the article, they can not changing the fact, the truth is only one, how come if you read the article the results is different than in the War Info box.
