Hello, I'm Netherzone. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Nordic Bronze Age have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Please do not embed links to external website URLs in articles or in photo image files/captions. Thank you. Netherzone (talk) 20:48, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello- I undid your revert of my changes to the interlanguage links you introduced. Can you explain why you reverted my edits? Have you familiarized yourself with the ((ill)) template and its usage? Do you find my use of that template inappropriate? Your edit summary "edited links" does not provide any explanation of your reasoning. Eric talk 21:58, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi Ario1234. Thanks for your recent to prehistory articles, but just a few quick notes:
Happy editing. – Joe (talk) 14:02, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Wikipelli. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Oxborough Dirk—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Wikipelli Talk 23:44, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Oppidum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Britain. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:16, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Oppidum 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 12:27, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
Template:Indo-European topics collapsible list is one of just a few templates with Misnested tags. I wonder if this can be fixed. —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:58, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
An article you recently created, Somogyvár-Vinkovci culture, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:51, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from pl:Kultura Somogyvár-Vinkovci to Draft:Somogyvár-Vinkovci culture. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example: Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.
It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted ((translated page)) template on the talk pages of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, please add attribution retrospectively for that also, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 14:12, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Bullenheimer Berg model.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:05, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Reconstruction of the Eneolithic village Crkvine-Stubline, Serbia, seen from the southwest.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
((Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>))
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hi, I was wondering why you are changing the order of the "Preceded by" section of the infobox? Is this not something that should be quite straightforwardly established? Thank you for all the work you do on these articles, it's just a bit unclear what you are doing sometimes. Edit summaries are great. TylerBurden (talk) 17:19, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Silbury Hill, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. you don't seem to have read the source as your edit contradicted it. That wasn't the only error and I fixed the others as well Doug Weller talk 12:11, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Gumelnița–Kodžadermen-Karanovo VI complex into Gumelnița culture. 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) 22:00, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Late Bronze Age 'Feasting Hall', Romania, Urnfield period.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia! Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent uploads, such as the file you uploaded at Tumulus culture, did not appear to be constructive and has been or soon will be deleted. Please read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Two issues are at hand here, firstly, you need to review guidelines and policies surrounding reversions, in particular WP:BRD. You should have started a talk page discussion before adding the disputed image back to the article. As a newer editor, you may not have been aware of that guidance. In a nutshell, the Bold Revert Discuss cycle - Per WP:BRD means that if someone makes a Bold edit, I disagreed and Reverted to the status quo. If the Bold editor disagrees and feels their addition is justified, they have to start a discussion on the talk page to gain consensus rather than reverting back to their bold edit. Secondly, please do not add low quality and/or unencylopedic images as you did at Tumulus culture, the image adds nothing to the article and the gallery section is already bloated with much too many images as it is. The image is a cartoon of an artifact, which adds nothing to the encyclopedia, and the caption itself is misleading. There are many images of the artifact itself online that could be used (if you request the owner of the image to upload it under the correct license) that comply with our licensing requirements, or if there is enough content in the article about the artifact, a fair use copyrighted image may be able to be used, however with such a large image gallery that may not be appropriate. Our guidelines state that Wikipedia is not a repository for images, especially not low-quality ones, See WP:NOTREPOSITORY and WP:NOTWEBHOST. You should probably also read the guidance at WP:GALLERY and review the Manual of Style's section on image galleries. As an editor who also understands the value images can add to an article (although high quality images) I understand why you might want to add it, however in this case, please consider reverting your revert to avoid an edit war about a poor-quality image that does not appropriately represent the artifact. Netherzone (talk) 16:45, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
The Bronze Hand of Prêles, Switzerland, 16th-15th century BC.yet it is not a photo of the Bronze Hand of Prêles; it is a single illustrator's digitally produced illustration of such artifact. (Which BTW, does not represent the object very well at all.) When I first saw it, I thought it might have been a very overly-sharpened, colorized and heavily retouched photo, but on closer examination of the original file and after viewing multiple photos of the object online, I saw that it is one person's version/interpretation of the artifact. It misrepresents what the artifact looks like, and captures none of the three-dimensionality of the object and misrepresents the colors.
Lest you get discouraged from classing up so many of the archaeology articles around here for whatever reason 🙄, I for one want to congratulate you on all the improvements you've made. I'd give you a barnstar but I don't really have the time right now. But you probably deserve one. 😁👍 Tewdar 17:48, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello Ario1234, I hope you're doing just fine :). I'm reaching out per your removal on the Benin Moat article. Why did you remove, your edit summary didn't clearly state the rationale. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:26, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
I won't use a template because you're a longtime editor, but please engage on the talk page and seek a new consensus at Ancient Egyptian race controversy rather than repeatedly removing well sourced content which has already been approved by consensus. See the rather extensive archives here. For a page which has been as thoroughly disputed as this one, it's best to assume that what you're seeing is the result of a thorough consensus-building process, and thus changes should generally be incremental. If you do choose to be bold, however, it's especially important to observe WP:BRD and not simply revert a revert. Thanks, Generalrelative (talk) 20:50, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to assume bad faith when dealing with other editors, you may be blocked from editing. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia.
These edits warrant a template: [1][2]. WP:NPA and WP:AGF prohibit you from speaking that way to other editors, regardless of what you might think privately. Generalrelative (talk) 19:05, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

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! Eric talk 15:12, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Ario,
I created a subsection for Keita's comments within the section on ancient DNA. This way, the comments are not linked to the study by Gad et al., but the article also does not have another section just for this purpose, unnecessarily.
I hope, with this, we have overcome our disagreement.

Hi Ario1234, I'm a bit surprised at your removal of a reliably cited paragraph in this article with the simple claim that it's false. That basically isn't sufficient for such a case.
As I've said in my edit comment, contradicting a reliable scientific source is possible, but not just by saying so - you would need to cite a newer source that specifically refutes the old one, with scientific evidence. If you think you have good reason for objecting to the paragraph, please take that reason to the article's talk page; it will have to contain links to recent scientific papers that demonstrate the falsity of the cited evidence in the paragraph. Just to remind you, per WP:BRD, to take this further, you are expected by long-established Wikipedia policy to discuss the matter on the talk page until consensus is reached. I hope this is clear and transparent to you. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
