[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Christianity in Egypt. 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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Egsan Bacon (talk) 15:35, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi there! I think around three users agree with the other editors version and actually all three of them reverted it. If you see there’s problems or mistakes in the version I published, you’re highly encouraged to edit it. But reverting to a 2019 estimates isn’t it man. Christianity was the religion in Egypt back then, and it’s still growing to this day. Copts are the direct descendants of the pharaohs and they kept their faith strong for 1600 years against the face of prosecution.
- I highly suggest that you keep an open mind, and edit that version I’ll be reverting to follow Wikipedia rules. If the structure is wrong, improve it, but please don’t revert the 2019 estimates they’re wrong, invalid and unauthentic.
- More to add: Pope Tawadros’s statement said that according to the baptism certificates, there’s been 15 million new certificates issued since 2019, and there’s 2 million Coptic Christian Egyptian residing abroad. Keyword here is NEW BAPTISM CERTIFICATES, meaning adding on the number older certificates.
- Thanks again, and hope you understand! Himalaya36276 (talk) 15:57, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- You are welcome to disagree with other editors, however you should not continue to restore your preferred version of the article in the face of other editors' objections. Can you please provide a link to the '15 million new certificates' claim?
- I note that multiple sources dispute the numbers e,g. this calls it muddled. [1] Coptic Pope’s inaccurate claims - persecution.org]
- This Reuters article quotes the Pope as saying that 15 PERCENT of Egyptians are Christian [2]https://www.reuters.com/article/world/egypt-s-pope-says-islamist-rulers-neglect-copts-idUSBRE93P0B9/
- [3]https://copticorthodox.church has 15% too, I think we can work on including this number in the article as an 'according to the church...'.
- Also note that the pope of the Coptic church is not an entirely independent source, per Wikipedia:Independent_sources we need independent sources that make any claim, especially if the claim is vastly different to the more widely accepted figure. JeffUK 16:55, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
