User talk:A big dumb

July 2020
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Intel has been reverted. Your edit here to Intel was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skry6cKyz50) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 03:06, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Lcodyh803. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Intel have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

 * hi Lcodyh803 i was (and am) new to editing Wikipedia articles and so did not have a thorough understanding of the link rules and did not see you in the talk page. i would like to apologise for not understanding that it was the link instead of the amd references i have thanked your edit and will not revert it again. i would also like to say thank you for telling me about this and hope that i get better at this in the future due to the fact that i am new. thanks again, A big dumb. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A big dumb (talk • contribs) 05:12, July 20, 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Intel, you may be blocked from editing. ''Stop adding the promotional link. Using a fake edit summary just shows us that you are not editing in good faith. Misinterpreted your summary. You are completely missing the point on why we are removing your edit. The content is not useful, and the YouTube video is promotional. And please read WP:EW'' Meters (talk) 04:29, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Your recent editing history at Intel shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * If you do not understand why this is being removed, ask on the article's talk page. Do not restore it again. Meters (talk) 04:42, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Negro Mountain, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. ''Please be more careful. You introduced spelling mistakes ("negro's" is not the plural of "negro", "African American's" is not the plural of "African American", and "Native American's" is not the plural of "Native American"), you changed from American to British spelling in an article about an American topic, you changed the spelling of a proper noun (yes it was spelled wrong, but the mistake was in the original name, which is what the "sic" means) and you arbitrarily changed "Indians" to "Native Americans" while discussing the French and Indian War and "negro" to "African American" while discussing how Negro Mountain got its name.''

 * thank you for telling me about this i have fixed the British spelling i remember adding and fixed this however i have undone your edit along with this due to the intent of the edit being to remove unnecessary slurs towards racial minorities i will change the other mistake — Preceding unsigned comment added by A big dumb (talk • contribs) 03:00, July 21, 2020 (UTC)


 * (ec) What are you doing? Don't start with the reverting again. Either take this to the article's talk page (see WP:BRD) or leave this alone. If you still don't understand why your edits are being undone perhaps you should not be editing Wikipedia. Meters (talk) 03:01, 21 July 2020 (UTC)


 * And please sign your talk page posts and do not insert them in the middle of my comments. I have refactored your post. Meters (talk) 03:03, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

re your user page
You seem to misunderstand how things work. We do not need to explain your mistakes on your talk page before we can undo them. You have been ignoring edit summaries and ignoring posts on your talk page and restoring your edits. I have already pointed you to WP:BRD and WP:EW. Meters (talk) 04:33, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * i have not been ignoring edit summaries or my talk page
 * i asked people to explain beforehand because you and i have been getting into edit war's most of the time due to a misunderstanding of the reasoning for the edit which if made clear would resolve quickly.
 * these can also occur between us when (like in the n**** mountain page) you use the undo button (where it is assumed that you removed all of the additions) where the edit button would be better suited.


 * i believe we can all improve in this situation since i believe we are both acting in good faith.

 * Please don't attempt to move the discussion to my talk page again. I don't want it there, and I certainly do not need a long set of instructions on how you, an editor with all of one day's experience, thinks Wikipedia should work. In fact, I'm done with this discussion. If you understand what you are doing wrong then this is WP:trolling, and if you don't understand then this appears to be a case of WP:CIR.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Emoticon. John from Idegon (talk) 21:33, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
