Hello, I'm Nyook. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Trump travel ban, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Nyook  ✉ 12:05, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  13:58, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring, as done at Oxford Street. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * The Dubai mall article was not vandalised. The information is in the sources. It would be nice if you learnt to read. This is the source:

180.150.114.118 (talk) 11:29, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * As evidenced by the the edit warring report you violated the 3 revert rule. This rule says that you cannot make more than 3 reverts of the same or different content to a page in 24 hours. You broke this and this was the main reason for your 1 week block. Bold editing is encouraged on Wikipedia, but continuing to reinstate the changes that were reverted is edit warring. You edit warred on pages such as The Dubai Mall and Adelaide Airport, by making multiple reverts. Also the xline does not go from The Dubai Mall, it goes from Dubai Marina Mall. I understand the confusion, however, edit warring is still not appropriate even if you think you are correct. Discussion on the talk page would have cleared up these issues before it got to edit warring. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me &#124; my contributions 12:23, 27 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Point taken. However, once again, The source says Dubai mall. I will put the source here again. Thanks. Cheers. https://www.thenational.ae/uae/zip-line-thrills-at-dubai-mall-1.72071

180.150.114.118 (talk) 12:41, 27 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Sloppy journalism. It links to this, and the citation you added to one of the articles also clearly said Dubai Marina Mall. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 13:25, 27 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Yeah but the following article says Dubai Mall and not Dubai Marina Mall.. https://www.thenational.ae/uae/zip-line-thrills-at-dubai-mall-1.72071 Thank you.180.150.114.118 (talk) 01:05, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. ''You have been warned multiple times. Please don't start again, or you will end up blocked for longer for next time.

 * It ends there and it becomes Bayswater road.180.150.114.118 (talk) 13:23, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * .... and then it becomes Holland Park Avenue, then Shepherd's Bush Green, then splits to Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road .... how far do you want to go? Because just about anybody has an opinion on what's important for a route, we defer to what the best possible sources of information tell us, which in this case (in my view) are the London Encyclopedia and the Survey of London. Others may have views on what sources to use, but in a straight argument between something cited in those two works against something just added by a random editor "because it sounds right", the sourced material wins. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * But I did put a source. As for how far I want to go, lets stop at Bayswater Road because that is the 'immediate neighbour'.180.150.114.118 (talk) 16:12, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

 * So are you also going to block the other person? He is being disruptive too. Double standards!180.150.114.118 (talk) 13:32, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Appeal

 * So why aren't you blocking the other editor? His name is " Laterthanyouthink" and has broken the rule too180.150.114.118 (talk) 14:00, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * This is not relevant to your unblock request. WP:GAB explains how to craft an acceptable unblock request. Only your actions are relevant here. --Yamla (talk) 14:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok Yamla. The appeal aside, how do I ask Wikipedia to block the above mentioned person? 180.150.114.118 (talk) 16:16, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Here's my take on it. As you can see from the contributions history, I have made the majority of contributions to Oxford Street, written the majority of the prose, and nominated the article for good article status. This included digging through various history books to look at its former role as a gallows site, the rise of retail outlets in the 19th century, various listed buildings, traffic problems, dodgy street trading ... the whole shebang. So you can see why I might take a dim view of somebody adding what I consider to be relevantly trivial and inconsequential detail to the grand scheme of things, and then arguing about it with insults. As you can see from the ownership of articles policy, while I can't (and won't) dictate how the article is improved further by executive fiat, reversion of good faith edits to preserve the existing quality of the article is permitted. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  15:19, 2 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Why do other articles on roads show other details then?180.150.114.118 (talk) 16:18, 2 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't know, but I'm not talking about other roads, I'm trying to explain what you need to understand to get unblocked. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  16:30, 2 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks Ritchie180.150.114.118 (talk) 22:57, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * and IP person: Let me just clarify a few things. Firstly, I did not request the block - I issued warnings via Twinkle for disruptive editing only. I reverted twice, which does not break the 3RR rule, and gave good reasons for doing so. Previous to this user's earlier block, they were insistent and argumentative about their changes on a number of changes to other articles, despite my attempts to discuss and take it to the talk page. As soon as they were unblocked, they immediately reinstated their incorrect change to Dubai Mall, about a zip-line that exists at Dubai Marina Mall, not Dubai Mall - according to all sources, including the zip-line operators, except the one obviously incorrect source quoted by IP user (which I mentioned above some time ago). Then returned to insisting that Oxford Street links to Bayswater Road, which it doesn't. The fact that Marble Arch leads on to Bayswater Road is relatively trivial and not worthy of a mention in the lead (see WP:LEAD & WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY). This user is not an experienced editor and appears unwilling to learn the rules and guidelines here (available in the Welcome panel which I posted at the top of their page). I was trying to help them to avoid a block and learn some of the rules. I see that Ritchie has now added some further detail in the second paragraph showing progression to Bayswater Road, which I hope will satisfy this user and be the end of the matter.
