Block message:

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Tigertownband". The reason given for Tigertownband's block is: " Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully. Why can't I edit Wikipedia? Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy. Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username? Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. What can I do now? You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following: Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must: Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.

FYI

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 20:12, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Sonny Bill

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Sonny Bill Williams". Thank you. --AIRcorn (talk) 05:24, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

S.B. Williams

Hi Suid-Afrikaanse, first of all I addeda photo, not only tried to :) But to the point. I added the most actual (september 2011) and high quality photo into section named 2011, so I don't think it's inapropriate there. I suppose it's quite ok for news about world cup etc. As I can see, he's you idol, and you're patron of this page, but in this situation you seems to be overprotective. I may try to convince you, that it's the only photo, where he is not on the pitch, or that he shows his second profil, but it becomes riddiculus.

I do not have any other photos of him, as I have never been to the southern hemisphere. And if it's not a problem for you, do not write on the page that is a redirect. Arvedui89 (talk) 18:16, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Sonny Bill Williams disputes

Please keep these on the article talk page. Using users' talk pages to discuss your disagreements with individual editors about this article is not the convention, and is not helpful. Cheers. BiggerAristotle (talk) 11:31, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Please, please, stop edit warring over this. My disagreeing with you on this is not personal. Discuss it, don't continue to edit war. BiggerAristotle (talk) 22:04, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh dear. SBY hasn't exactly covered himself with glory in his time with the All-Blacks at the 2011 RWC... --Shirt58 (talk) 10:55, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Aag man, I was hoping that Wales would win, because NZ are soooo going to crush the French next Sunday. Meanwhile, it would appear that SBW continues to write his own WP:BLP violations.--Shirt58 (talk) 11:46, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Sonny Bill Williams again

You are now edit-warring over a comma. Please stop. BiggerAristotle (talk) 22:00, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Sonny-Bill-Williams

You are edit-warring over a hyphen! Please stop. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source - see WP:PSTS for example. The spelling used by an editor in another article is irrelevant. Again, you are edit-warring over a hyphen. A hyphen. BiggerAristotle (talk) 10:06, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

George Washington and religion

Re this edit.
It is puzzling to me to claim that George Washington did not summon a minister to his deathbed based on what The Economist asserts in an unsourced opinion column. Washington had 3.5 litres of blood bled from his body before he died - in addition to the medical condition of shock that this caused he was also suffering from a severe swollen sore throat, which was either acute epiglottitis or quinsy. From the time he fell severely ill, around 3am that Saturday morning, until he died at 10pm that Saturday night was only 19 hours...maybe there wasn't enough time, maybe he didn't think he was going to die that day. After all, in comparison to the rest of the male members of his family, Washington was relatively vigorous...he didn't die of tuberculosis like so many of his relatives, he died of a swollen sore throat that was very rapid in its onset. He died from suffocation (because he was unable to breathe with this swollen/sore throat) and from severe shock. (because he lost at least 3.5 litres of blood).
Also, to claim that a cited reference or information should appear in one Wikipedia article simply because it appears in another Wikipedia article, as you claimed in the edit summary for this edit is also somewhat puzzling...you are the editor who added that self-same citation and your assertion is similar to using one Wikipedia article to reference another WIkipedia article, a type of circular referencing (and against WP guidelines). --Shearonink (talk) 03:10, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Rollback

I've just given you the rollback right. You should see a "rollback" button on each page history next to the most recent edit, and for each edit on your watchlist. This allows you to revert all consecutive edits by any user on an article, so long as they are the most recent editor. It is only to be used in a case of clear vandalism, not where you simply disagree with the editor. I suggest you read Wikipedia:Rollback feature.

It is possible to rv multiple edits without using rollback, and necessary to do so if more than one editor has made vandalistic edits. See Help:Reverting for this. It's sometimes a good idea to revert rather than rollback even for vandalism, since it allows you to leave an edit summary.-gadfium 03:11, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

SBY, erm, SBW again

Hi again Suid-Afrikaanse. Thanks for this correction. SBY's article seems to have - aag, man, there I go with acronym confusion yet again - SBW's article seems to have a lot of unreferenced height/weight edits.

Iran's aid

This was based on the fact that Iran's military gets $7 Billion a year for its budget. How is Iran giving more aid to Syria's army than it has to spend on its own? Jeancey (talk) 23:53, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

• I have been looking online to find some sort of idea of what iran is giving syria, and the only number I can find is USD$1 Billion in financial aid. [1][2]. I also found an article from July 2011 where the Ayatollah said he would support giving 5.8 billion, but nothing about whether that actually happened.[3] I'm not sure the 9 Billion is correct, maybe it was just a number thrown out by a single iranian official or something. From what I can tell, only 1 billion in actually financial aid has been given, which is a much more reasonable number considering the iranian budget. Jeancey (talk) 00:14, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia Help Survey

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Edit warring warning

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on 2012 Burgas bus bombing. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.

Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. 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 the changes; 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 without further notice. Somedifferentstuff (talk) 04:51, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Greenman. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Sonny Bill Williams without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content.

Editing guidelines

Hi Suid-Afrikaanse. You are repeatedly making the same mistakes - adding uncited material, removing cited material, removing templates requesting citations and generally editing in an unhelpful manner. You are continuing to discuss changes on individual talk page instead of on the article talk page, and it appears that you have no interest in anything on Wikipedia but Sonny Bill Williams and whitewashing any controversy, and this is a potential Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. You also are very close to edit warring, which you been warned of before. Please try read and implement some of the guidelines for how to edit constructively, or else your behaviour will need to be reported on the incidents page. Greenman (talk) 10:28, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello Greenman. I have heard the exact same accusations from a previous editor (that got nowhere in the end), so your exaggerated claims against me are nothing new or worrying. So please do not lecture me about proper Wikipedia etiquette when i am doing nothing wrong. All i am doing is removing speculation, giving clear reasons to editors who make certain edits on their own talk pages and adding referenced information. Good day to you too.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 10:49, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

SBW article

Controversies sections should generally be avoided, especially on biographies of living people, if you are going to add any controversial material on him, then it should be really well sourced. I'm not sure how notable some of those events are, just because they're covered in the press doesn't mean they warrant inclusion. The things I kept there involved the police (rather than a trivial celebrity scandal), so I thought they warranted inclusion more than the other two incidents. Some of the other material I removed was unencyclopaedic – such as the shoulder charge statement. You're better off quoting someone authoritative rather than saying "a maneuver for which he has been described as the best and most famous exponent of" – it reads like fancruft. If you want to discuss the article anymore, it'd be best if it was on talk:Sonny Bill Williams so there is a centralised point of discussion that can be easily referenced by any interested editors. I think the article needs a fair bit of work to be ready for WP:GAN, but if you want my advice and ideas, I'd be glad to provide them. - Shudde ^talk 11:04, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
