Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Iraq War, 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:

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!

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
Iraq War, 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. Thank you.

@ User60314: - at some point we have to ask just what the encyclopaedic value is of all these nicknames throughout the prose. I will leave this to others to weigh in. Also, please stop adding all that needless spacing to the infobox templates. Thank you - wolf 22:14, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
I’m calling you out. You seem to like to assert your dominance but don’t like it when you get responded to in like manner." - you call a fairly a simple request, accompanied with a "please & thank you" no less, as "asserting my dominance"? And "condescendingly" at that? Well, all I can tell you is that we all seem to have different degrees of sensitivity, and some here can be offended more easily than others, as it seems I have done with you That was not my intention. That said, the one constant here is the policies & guidelines. We don't "call out" other editors with personal attacks. This is not a 4-chan message board. I would strongly encourage you focus on content, not other editors. You are still new here and have much to learn. Trying to "assert your dominance" over others is not going to help you to that end. - wolf 02:24, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
User60314: "You then responded with attitude and you got the same in return
" ...and that's the problem right there. Don't perceive every comment as: "I disagree with your changes, because I think you're a jerk!". IOW, just because someone disagrees with your edits, don't take it personally. I stated my issue with your edits, not you, which is what the article talk pages are for; to discuss content. You seem to be taking everything here personally, and then you "respond in kind", like this nonsense with my username. And as such, that article talk page becomes filled with off-topic pagefill. (And why I have since moved all off topic posts here). Just stick to the content, sources and guidelines, and leave the attitude (real or perceived) out of it. -

Hello and
welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to
sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. - wolf 23:06, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
Typically, when an edit you've made is reverted, you should go to the talk page and discuss it, as opposed to just re-reverting it back in. This cuts down on the "I'm right, you're wrong cuz I said so!" type disputes that lead to edit wars. Is there some reason why you feel this practice doesn't apply to you? - wolf 16:37, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
