User talk:72.53.0.45

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Mike Cernovich, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 08:19, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 17:44, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I am not reverting anything, other people are reverting my well-sourced update. 72.53.0.45 (talk) 17:49, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

This is your last warning. Stop edit warring before you are blocked from editing. Ignorance of Wikipedia policies is not a defense. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:03, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, I am not engaging in an edit war. I am updating outdated information with new information, and the new information is well sourced. Several users are undoing that change while either pretending I did not cite sources, which I did, or entirely without comment. I suggest warning them about edit warring as this is what they are doing, not me. 72.53.0.45 (talk) 18:07, 29 June 2018 (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.

Mike Cernovich
In this case, it's not what Cernovich's states, it's what the wp:reliable sources state. Jim1138 (talk) 08:20, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

There are five sources that state "alt-right" Take it to talk:Mike Cernovich per wp:BRD Jim1138 (talk) 08:26, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

72.53.0.45 (talk) 08:28, 29 June 2018 (UTC)At the time of those articles, they were correct, but the information is outdated. This is why the three sources I had included in my edit are all more recent than them.

Sockpuppetry
Please review our policy on sockpuppetry. If you have an account, you should login. When you leave comments on a talk page while logged in, and later leave comments on the same page while not logged in, you give the false impression that there are two people with the same viewpoint. That can get you in trouble. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:12, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * All of my edits have been from this same IP and within the last 12 or so hours. I am not engaging in "sock puppetry". Anyone else making edits to that page or this page is not me. 72.53.0.45 (talk) 18:15, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you got the impression that I was several people because I kept replying to my own comments on the Talk page and editing my comments. I am new to Talk pages, so I will go and fix that to remove confusion.
