Hello, I'm ButterCashier. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Types of hijab, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ButterCashier (talk) 08:03, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Shashka. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Shashka is a back sword of Ethnic groups in the Caucasus, just adopted by Cossaks, so it is should be called of as backsword of peoples Caucasus[reply]

Your logic is faulty. This is an encyclopaedia! Individual opinion carries zero weight, the use of reliable published references and consensus among editors is all that is allowed to influence content. The article covers the Caucasian origins of the shashka, but this is not the most prominent feature of its importance in the world. Many of the blades of the earliest examples of the shashka were made in Solingen, Germany. I could argue that the shashka was a German sword, but I would be as wrong as you are.
