Talk page comment
Pardon me? I'm not revert warring with anybody. I think those terms are justified and backed up by the sources referenced on that article, which is why I reinstated them. However, if other members of the community in good standing dispute that, then I'm willing to defer to consensus. That second step is what is missing in far too many editors, anonymous and otherwise, and the cause of most of the wikidrama you're attaching to me. Orpheus (talk) 07:46, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm not attempting to "war" with anyone. Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors. In that particular case, the material is referenced in text - it doesn't violate any core policies. Regarding my talk page, it is inappropriate to revert any comment removal I might make - please read WP:TALK for more information. Also, you should sign your posts on talk pages so they can be correctly attributed. Orpheus (talk) 14:06, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 10:13, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

re
I really don't know what you're talking about. I don't think I've removed any quotes. Besides, if you have a problem with any edits take it up on the article talk page. Mikco (talk) 18:01, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Henry Blodget and Bernard L. Madoff
BThP,

See the Madoff talk page and WP:RSN about using Blodget as a source. His blog absolutely may not be used as a source. Whether his opinion in the NY Post should be reported is another matter - but it certainly would have to be labeled as OPINION in any case.

You're a bit worked up about this article and I'll advise slowing down on your edits. It's almost assured that you've violated the 3RR rule in the last 24 hours (maybe in the last 2 hours). I'll ask an administrator to watch this without formally reporting it.

And I will remove the Blodget material unless there is some discussion on the talk page.

Smallbones (talk) 18:23, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bernard L. Madoff. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Smallbones (talk) 21:45, 15 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I am also having an ongoing issue with the above editor. He is a chronic deleter, never abridging content and then tattles to others to send out warnings and because he is addicted to deleting, he even deletes the comments i wrote on his page (also Madoff).  Is there anything that can be done to reduce his reverts?  He seems to use it as a holier-than-thou power play.  He must live in the "hotel know-it-all" at the entry of the long Road to Success (poster).
 * From Ronnotel (talk) page:

"Could you send a note to the above user, asking him (firmly, but politely) not to reinsert his accusations on my talk page after I've removed them. He's obviously an enthusiastic kid, who's gone ape over the Bernard Madoff affair and brings in anything and everything into this and related articles (e.g. a long quote from Dante).  I edit his insertions when absolutely necessary, but in general try to avoid him.  I think he just needs to know that he should cool it and that there are a few rules which people do watch.  Thanks for any help.  Smallbones (talk) 10:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * "Please try to keep your comments constructive - comment on the content, not the contributor. Ronnotel (talk) 15:00, 24 May 2009 (UTC)" Are you certain you sent this to the correct person?  Sounds like you should have sent it to the person above...selective discrimination?  Are you a patroller or are you personally connected to Smallbones?  I don't consider my comments harassment.  I consider an editor who deletes rather than abridges essential content a chronic and addicted harasser.  Your accusation is misplaced.  Sorry you have to be a messenger for others...poor form."

Sockpuppetry case
Your name has been mentioned in connection with a sockpuppetry case. Please refer to Sockpuppet investigations/Betathetapi545 for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to cases before editing the evidence page. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 12:35, 16 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Counting your apparent edits as an IP, you are edit-warring and continuing bad-faith attacks on editors who disagree with your additions. Please stop.   Acroterion   (talk)   12:41, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Dominique Strauss-Kahn
Hi. I see you took out the word "sodomized" and put "sexual assault" because you said it was too serious to have without a reference. Can I ask you not to make edits to subjects which are you not familiar with? And if you are still unfamiliar with them, then at least do a bare minimum of research before making edits? It is being reported in all the major papers that the maid said that Strauss-Kohn forced oral sex on her. I simply went to The New York Post and got a reference. Anybody can go around and remove things from Wikipedia claiming "there is no reference for it". I would guess half of Wikipedia is like that. What Wikipedia really needs is for somebody to come along and put the reference in. But when you take things out of Wikipedia, then readers who look at it after your edit do not know what was there and can't provide a reference (because they don't know what wasn't there). Please, take a second or two to verify things before just going around deleting things. If you had bothered to read any of the articles on the Strauss-Kohn mess, you would have known that he sodomized her (or is alleged to have done so). Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Betathetapi545 (talk • contribs) 00:42, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The discussion on the articles talkpage has progressed beyond your limited view. The rules are quite clear that unless WP:RS can be sourced, we can't insert such information, make such a claim - or credibly claim to be an encyclopaedia. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 12:44, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Jeffrey Archer
See Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard where I have initiated a discussion of your edits. Philip Cross (talk) 11:57, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Warning
Regarding your edits on Jeffrey Archer:
 * 1) Do not insert negative material on living persons without proper references and neutral tone. Please read the policy on this. If you violate this again, you will be blocked.
 * 2) Do not describe any editor's removals as "vandalism", unless they uncontroversially are. See WP:VAND to understand this.
 * 3) When you are reverted, go to the talk page and discuss the issue. Don't edit war. See WP:BRD

You have been warned several times about your editing, so I'm making this a final warning - particularly with regard to biographies of living people.

Thank you.--Scott Mac 14:43, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Auric. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Papist, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Auric   talk  21:45, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't know what happened - I included three links/sources but I guess they didn't take/get uploaded for some reason. Must be some sort of bug.  I am uploading it again, again with the three sources.
 * Wikipedia in not considered a reliable source on itself. Try again.-- Auric    talk  23:11, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bill Conti, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Year of the Gun (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Malcolm Young are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

 * I would not portray him in that positive light. The only "legit" trades he had were ones that he used to camouflage his criminal insider trades.  During the investigation it even came out that he hired stuff just to make it look like he had a legitimate operation.

Hello, I'm Velella. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of bicycle brands and manufacturing companies, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. 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. This article is about brands that are notable - i.e. have a Wikipedia page where notability has been established  Velella  Velella Talk  12:15, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

No personal attacks please
Your comment here seemed less than helpful to me. You insult another editor who provided a detailed explanation of why they didn't find your question helpful, but you never bothered to explain how that question is aimed at improving the article.

Edit comments on Ghislaine Maxwell article
Your edit comments in your recent edits to the Ghislaine Maxwell article go well beyond the standards of civility of Wikipedia, and into the realm of personal attacks. I have blocked you from editing for a period of 72 hours to give you the chance to cool down, and redacted the edit comments from the user-visible logs. See WP:NPA for more guidance on this. -- The Anome (talk) 18:59, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Personal attacks on Ghislaine Maxwell talk page
Please stop these extreme personal attacks on other editors, which are a gross violation of Wikipedia's WP:NPA policy.

I'm not going to block you now, but please consider this a final warning that any further similar rants are likely to get you blocked from editing for an extended period without any further warnings. Please also note the warning about contempt of court at the top of that talk page. I've expunged the relevant edits from the talk page history. -- The Anome (talk) 10:52, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

What part of my comment was anti-semitic? You seem to want to launch a personal attack on me without providing any evidence.Betathetapi545 (talk) 14:15, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

And how is working for a PR firm a "personal attack"??? Almost all PR firms are perfectly legitimate. They are hired to present a clean image of people and firms. There is nothing wrong with that. You seem to think that working for a public relations company is dirty or something. There is no attack. It is all in your mind.Betathetapi545 (talk) 14:18, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Please quote what part of my post you thought was a personal attack. I have no interest in personal attacks. It is very difficult to defend against what you claim when you do not provide any evidenc. Again, please quote what you consider to be a personal attack. Thank you. Betathetapi545 (talk) 13:34, 24 November 2021 (UTC)


 * There's no need for admins to justify your block to you, or quote any part of what you have written; they have access to your complete edit history, whether or not it's been redacted from public view, and can make their own judgement based on that. The burden is on you to demonstrate your willingness to change your behavior to justify why you might be allowed to edit again. The primary consideration in this is the health of the encyclopedia project. Please see the guide to appealing blocks for more information on this. -- The Anome (talk) 14:23, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
