March 2019
Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia! However, you should know that it is not a good idea to remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working, as you did to Will & Grace. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''Don't remove dead links when you tag them. Refs do not have to be online to be valid, and a bot will attempt to find an archived copy.'' Meters (talk) 23:51, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
 * And keep your edit summaries civil. That was pretty close to a personal attack. See WP:NPA Meters (talk) 23:52, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I asked you to drop it, I closed the thread on my talk page, I deleted your new post when you ignored that request and the closure of the thread, and you restored the post. Don't post anything on my talk page that you are not required by Wikipedia to post. Meters (talk) 02:07, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive behaviour. It appears you are purposefully harassing another editor. Wikipedia aims to provide a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing other users, as you did on User talk:Meters, potentially compromises that safe environment. If you continue behaving like this, you may be blocked from editing. ''What part of stay off my talk page do you not understand? Stop restoring content that I have already removed more than once.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:Meters. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Meters (talk) 23:01, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 60 hours for contravening Wikipedia's harassment policy. 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:.

 * I'm less patient with harassing behavior than Meters was - you can be blocked at any time for what you were doing.  Acroterion   (talk)   00:06, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

You did not heed prior warnings, why should we believe that you happened to heed the last one? 331dot (talk) 08:59, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I referred to the warning posted by Meters at 23:01, 17 March 2019 (UTC), which threatened a block. Previous "warnings" as you choose to describe them did not threaten a block.  That should be obvious. 66.135.166.177 (talk) 22:25, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It is possible to warn someone without threatening them with a block; and it is possible to heed a warning without being threatened with a block. 331dot (talk) 22:34, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

I'm unimpressed with the attitude on display by 66.135.166.167 - the notion that you have to be repeatedly asked to stop a given behavior, and that it's not to be taken seriously until some form of ultimatum is issued, is not compatible with editing Wikipedia. In the short term, talkpage access may be removed if it's just being used for filibustering, and in the long run, more blocking may be in store if the behavior resumes after expiration. You can consider that your warning in advance, so you'll know where the boundaries lie.  Acroterion   (talk)   22:43, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, honey, do you truly believe that I'm trying to impress you?? -- I am not, I assure you. Please spare me your condescension, it's distasteful.  Challenging the simplistic and rote arguments delivered here is not filibustering. Do look at Meter's first reply to me.  I thanked her/him for pointing out an error I made, and s/he replied with condescension. Is that attitude compatible with editing at Wikipedia? Meter is the cause of this entire imbroglio, and you all are her/his enablers. 66.135.166.177 (talk) 23:13, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * As promised, talkpage access revoked.  Acroterion   (talk)   23:16, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you I was going to ask for that as this wasting us a lot of time. Thanx. -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 23:18, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
