Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ryanair, 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. —C.Fred (talk) 02:38, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi C.Fred,

Obviously I have no clue:

I replaced the deleted article (thinking it was an evil Ryanair admin who deleted it). Only then I found your message. Sorry about that.

The source is the person we are quoting (Mr O'Leary from Ryanair himself). Only audio and our precise transcript exist. Basically, Wikipedia will be the source. Or we can link to BoycottRyanair.com if you want us to take responsibility for his quote (since we transcribed it from the MP3 form — also available, if you think we should upload it).

No idea how to use this type of messaging. Your message said I should reply at your "wall" but, once I got there, I wasn't sure where I should leave it; plus it said I should reply back at the wall where your message was displayed (my wall).

Please let me know and I'll fix things (and learn things) fast.

BTW, I'll be responsible for all our Wikipedia entries once BoycottRyanair.com goes (properly) live. It appears you are among the people helping with the Ryanair page. I guess we'll see each other every once a while... :-)

Cheers,

Ota


 * Wikipedia cannot be the source. Wikipedia is not the place to publish original research. If the material exists only in your transcript, then it's not admissible here; it needs to have been published in a reliable source. —C.Fred (talk) 04:49, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks C.Fred. It's not just our transcript, it's also in the original MP3 recording (and therefore video recording too, harder to forge). If I manage to find the video online, will it be considered reliable enough? (The bloke, himself, saying those exact words?) I hope the video doesn't have to sit at the BBC or The Times to be considered real/reliable...

Plus, we will be one of the more reliable sources. What would you do in my shoes?

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Ryanair, you may be blocked from editing. ''Please stop. --'' Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:15, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Unlike C.Fred, your use of the exclamation mark indicates limited neutrality on your side. Every single statement I have published today is fully backed up. Please let me know which of the published lines are my commentary and personal analysis and I'll rewrite them. However, I do not think you can define my contribution as Disruptive editing. Also, please confirm whether you have any formal/informal connection with Ryanair.

Please don't threaten me — let's communicate. How would you like it if someone kicked you out on your first day? You would not be an editor today, that's for sure. Please respect me like a fellow human being. Not like Ryanair workers respect fellow human beings (http://www.wired.com/2009/02/ryanair-slams-p/). Thank you. Ota
 * 1. The exclamation mark is a warning, Fred cautioned you, I warned you. I'm not threatening you. I'm warning you. You want to talk; bring it to Talk:Ryanair. until, and unless, there is consensus, your edits are most likely to be undone. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:06, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 2. As far as neutrality is concerned, I'm not related to Ryanair. They don't operate in my country. Stop accusing me of something just because we differ in our points of view. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:07, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

A message for you

It is clear that your purpose here is to use Wikipedia to promote a campaign against a business that you have concerns about. No matter how sincerely you believe that the business in question deserves criticism, and should be "boycotted", your editing is inconsistent with several Wikipedia policies. Attempts have been made to explain to you that your editing is inconsistent with Wikipedia policy, and editors have tried to help you by warning you that continuing in the same way might lead to your being blocked. However, you have persisted in the same way, and everything you have said indicates that you have no intention of ceasing your attempt to use Wikipedia to promote your campaign. You have therefore been blocked indefinitely from editing. In addition, your username is unacceptable, as it attacks a business,and as it indicates that the account exists to promote a campaign.

If you wish to start contributing to the encyclopaedia in a neutral way, in line with Wikipedia policies, you may request to be unblocked. To do so, at the bottom of this page add the text on your user talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked. However, you should first read the guide to appealing blocks. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
