thread_title: Copy and Paste isn't allowed in Wikipedia

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Islam in Sri Lanka's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 17:13, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
*http://srilankanmuslims.vze.com
*:Triggered by \bvze\.com\b on the global blacklist
If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

thread_title:  Edit war 

message: Editors on this page are trying to supersede genetic evidence by spurious studies carried out in the colonial period. They are trying to preserve texts that are directly contradicted by genetics. This page needs more users.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Floating philosopher (talk • contribs) 08:45, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Firstly please stop edit warring. Also duplication of information is sometimes necessary, since it may be necessary to summarise information covered elsewhere on wikipedia if it's of particular relevance to the subject of the article. Obviously "wrong information" is a problem, but you should concentrate on what the reliable sources say. It's not up to you to decide information is "wrong" if it's supported by sources. If other sources say it's wrong, it may be both should be covered depending on various factors (like how well supported by sources both POVs are, including issues like source age). Also from what I can tell, these 3 threads basically covering the same thing. There's no need for 3 seperate threads on this talk page covering the same subject. Please discuss stuff under the existing threads rather than continually opening new ones. Nil Einne (talk) 12:14, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

text: Hi, I have removed these items because it does not summarize information but merely duplicates it within another article. That is why I removed it. Readers can go to the relevent article and read it. I have not been edit warring, AntanO keeps edit warring with me, and keep edits that are unnecessary and take away the focus from this article. So please stop undoing my edits and add your comments here, just like you are telling me to do. Therefore I am reverting these edits to clean up the article and if you or any other author thinks differently please add it to this thread and we can discuss it just like you keep saying.

replies: text: The information seems fairly relevant to this article and is at least partially sourced. If you feel it is too long, you should summarise it rather than deleting itwholesale. If you feel it is "debunked" please provide the sources which demonstrate this. Nil Einne (talk) 08:21, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
