You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently making disruptive edits, refusal to drop the stick, and escalating a dispute that has already been closed. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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:.

 * Don't say you weren't warned. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:59, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Reverting the comment (the "trolling") that was left over from the dispute was fine, but the dispute had already been closed after that, he had been warned about his behaviour, and he had moved on (and possibly left Wikipedia altogether). Heading over to his talk page two days later, trying to start the fight up again, and escalating the aggression with personal insults was absolutely not acceptable. We're supposed to be building an encyclopedia here, not fighting petty schoolboy battles, remember? Anyway, you know how to request unblock if you wish, but I would oppose unblocking you until you have regained a sense of perspective and agree to stop with your escalating anger and aggression. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:10, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I see that you have also been grossly uncivil with another editor recently...
 * "You are incompetent or dishonest, neither of which is my requirement to fix for you"
 * "Spare me the unctuous ass-covering. Your comment had fuck-all to do with anything I wrote, at all -- the word "redaction" should be a clue -- so either you were unable to do something as simple as read the edit history properly or you were attempting to obscure the issue. If you think this gives you some sort of moral high ground, you're sadly mistaken. No, did you have a comment on what I ACTUALLY wrote, or did you want to blow more smoke?"

Hello, I wanted to let you know that it is common practice to state the legal company name in the article, despite it being a common name or not.

Blocked
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for a repeat of the aggressive interpersonal behaviour that led to your previous block. Further similar behaviour will lead to further sanctions, and if I'm the one who deals with it your next similar offence will result in at least a one-month block. To echo what I said last time, no matter what the content dispute, the edit summary "Again: no one left you in charge of ANYTHING, so no one is taking any orders from you. Suck it up, buttercup" is absolutely unacceptable. You must (in fact will, one way or another) stop the aggression and insults. You know how to appeal this block if you wish to do so. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:33, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Looking back on some more of your recent edit summaries, I see escalating aggression, including sarcasm, "WTF", general snark, before reaching the level of outright personal insult. You really need to learn when to stop and step back. If you're in a bad mood, feeling frustrated, or whatever, the best thing to do is stop editing Wikipedia for a while. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:44, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

And you need to grow up, Sheriff Respect-Mah-Authoritah. A bad block, of course, but that's a typical overreaction from you.

Stop reverting edits
Your recent editing history 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. - ''I wont hestitate to request for an administrator's attention if you decide to continue, you seem to have a colourful history in reverting edits and being disruptive. I suggest you stop being aggressive. The talk page exists for a reason.'' Ineedtostopforgetting (talk) 09:44, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Your undelete at the Ty Cobb page
Dear User:Calton. Thank you for sparing me one more maddening escalation toward an edit war with not only one but two different editors, applying common sense both to the congruence of the image and caption as currently mated and the context the latter provides.

That photo in particular shouts for context. Initially I thought it was a pre-game or Spring Training picture, given how empty the stands were behind the players. It's arresting - even moreso in the un-cropped version of the photo here:. The fact is, it screams for a whole lot more than can reasonably be provided. The Senators only averaged 7,500 fans a game in 1924, yet they were 4th in AL attendance (with just 584,000 total). And were by no means the "Florida Marlins" of their day. In fact, they were en route to their first and only World Series championship.

I don't know the specific team standings on Saturday, August 16, but it would not have been a "throwaway" game, as the pennant race ended up tight (with the NY Yankees just two back) and the Sentaors' opponent Detroit Tigers finished 3rd, just 6 games behind (back when winning the pennant meant everything, before endless rounds of dilutionary play-offs and play-ins).

It's hard to imagine such empty outfield seats, but the image captured them for perpetuity. I've dug quite a bit to find game day attendance, but can't turn it up. Just how empty was the rest of the ballpark, considering all games back then were day games, and weekend games, particularly Sundays, and once highly popular double-headers, drew much larger crowds than weekdays?

Improperly closed NPOV dispute section on Jack Posibiec talk page; mischacterized comment from mine
Earlier today, you edited the talk page for Jack Posobiec and in so doing, you marked an open dispute over NPOV (still open on BLP noticeboard and the NPOV noticeboard) as closed and labeled my statement of disengagement from discussion (due to contention with a specific user) on my talk page as "dropping" the matter (disputed NPOV for the page). This is an incorrect assertion regarding the still-open NPOV dispute, and I do not feel that either the label of having dropped the issue nor the premature closure of the topic on the talk page while the discussion is still open and in dispute over source accuracy and NPOV on the aforementioned BLP and NPOV noticeboards. I would ask that you reopen the NPOV dispute section on the Jack Posobiec talk page and clarify that my comment does not mean that the NPOV dispute has been "dropped." Thank you. Ihuntrocks (talk) 16:07, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, please understand.
Hello, I should probably explain the situation better, since you're coming into the middle of it and there's been a lot of lies and deceit in a particular user's harassment of me. I won't address your comments in the ANI thread, but the edit you made on the "Nocturnes (Debussy)" talk page.

AnUnnamedUser had been harassing me. I didn't report it, I just dealt with it myself. At one point he tried to divert a thread where people including me were having a perfectly reasonable peaceful conversation. AUU's diversion was intentional, designed to deplatform. He posted something and signed it with my user name, making it look like I was saying or responding to something I wasn't because I didn't write it. He actually took a previous post of mine in another thread, modified the words, and presented it in this new diversion thread. This of course is a complete violation of WP rules. I had the right to delete it and I did.

He then engaged in an edit-war, constantly reposting it and changing the post each time. Finally he stopped and went away. But the next day he was back and restoring it again and even added a "reply" to this fake post of "mine". The reply was insulting and more harassment.

A lot of other things happened which I won't go into here, but suffice to say:
 * 1. I have the right to delete damaging, slanderous (libelous), and harassing posts about me,
 * 2. I have the right to delete fake posts that make me say something I didn't,
 * 3. I have the right to delete my own posts (which this at least "appears" to be),
 * 4. I have the right to edit my own posts, and
 * 5. I have the right to not have the same person "replying" to something I don't want to say, for everyone to read and think God-knows-what about my character.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Roppongi Hills, you may be blocked from editing. ''"Lifestyle" isn't advertising, it is a descriptor, in this case for a multi-use development that goes beyond shopping and business, which clearly is Ropponggi Hills. There are spas, salons, and other leisure amenities in said complex, that's why it qualifies as a shopping, LIFESTYLE, and business complex. Do not revert without valid reason. This is your first warning. Thanks. '' Migsmigss (talk) 18:21, 26 November 2019 (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.

 * 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.

Patriot Front
I changed the descriptor of Tacoma Against Nazis from "anti-white supremacist" to "anti-fascist." To be clear, nazis are BOTH white supremacists AND fascists (just look at the PF logo, which literally features a fascio). However, I found that "anti-white supremacist" does not read well. This minor lack of clarity is more major in this case because the far-right so often accuses groups like that of being "anti-white," which is simply not true. I obviously know what is meant by "anti-white supremacist," but at first glance, I thought it was describing them as anti-white. I had to do a little double-take. The wording "anti-fascist" definitely still fits the bill, has much better clarity, and is therefore less problematic in political context, which must always be carefully considered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SAMbo (talk • contribs) 19:32, December 13, 2019 (UTC)

Inappropriate editing
Hello, I'm Xenagoras. I noticed that you recently removed content from Tulsi Gabbard 2020 presidential campaign without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

, you "justified" your revert of my edit  by saying, make your argument for each piece. "media bias" and "campaign sign defacement" really don't belong here. I already had adressed all objections against every part of my edit in detail before you reverted me. You did not explain your revert via engaging in the discussion that I had started on the talk page, and your edit summary did not refer to any policy or guideline problem. You did not try to fix the problem. I quote policy describing how not to edit: You reverted a change simply because you find it "doesn't belong" / "unnecessary" without claiming that the change is detrimental, and you reverted a good-faith change without providing an edit summary that refers to relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines, previous reviews and discussions, reliable sources, or specific grammar or prose problems introduced by the edit.

Trader Joe's wine
I waited six months to make that edit because I figured it would be controversial. I don't want to just leave the claim sitting up there on the article, based on a now archived sixteen-year-old source, when I can see with my eyes that the wine is sold in other stores .... but some people these days are not happy when I take pictures of things in their store, so I don't want to intrude on them just to get a photo. And even with a photo, someone could just claim it was an unauthorized reseller which would lead to a wholly unneeded hassle. So I won't take the photo. Is there at least, though, some other publication we can use, from any source, that is newer than January 2004? Thank you, — Soap — 17:15, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Your edit message on Black Lives Matter
Hi there Calton! I want to thank you for your contribution to Black Lives Matter. I do want to bring up your edit message though, directed at me, in that edit. While I understand that the charging of that women is important and was heavily reported on in US media, the original incident barely made news in Australia, where I am, and the charging was not heavily discussed, shared or reported on Australian news media - I had to purposefully seek out a story covering that to find one. Wikipedia's policy remains that the burden of providing evidence lies with them who make the claim, and my reversion was in line with that. While I understand that editing Wikipedia can is stressful, your edit message didn't come across as constructive or civil, but as a personal attack against me. Please, in the future, keep the over side in mind and try to remain civil and focused on the edit, not the editor. ItsPugle (talk) 09:57, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Do you have...
... something in the vein of an actual justification of for the revert? You're kind of obligated to provide one, not just reverting willy nilly.

Re -- C. A. Russell ( talk ) 08:05, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

The justification is on the talk page as well as the administrators' noticeboard. Maybe do a cursory check of the issue you're wading into before acting. To repeat: do you have a justification for the revert? Did you even review the content of the edit? Do you know what year this is? -- C. A. Russell ( talk ) 08:10, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Kamala Harris
This is to inform you that I have opened a dispute resolution concerning the Kamala Harris Talk page "Attendance" item. I believe that the "2019" section of the article should reflect the well-documented fact that Senator Harris missed 62 percent of Senate votes in 2019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Kamala_Harris Jab73 (talk) 07:51, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your revert on Mike Godwin. I would have, but I have a conflict of interest and I'm not sure I could even ask anyone else to.--Jorm (talk) 02:37, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

East Market District, Louisville
East Market District, Louisville "Your attempt to crowbar in a "Black Lives Matter is bad" angle into East Market District, Louisville fails, in addition to the undue weight or importance" issue, also fails in its sourcing: the WSJ reference is an Opinion column, not a news article; The Daily Wire is a terrible and unreliable cousin of Breitbart News; "Law Enforcement Today" looks like somebody's blog rewriting a Courier-Journal story with extra added snide comments; and the Courier-Journal story you cite is a rewritten press release. from the restauranteur."

Did I post anything that either A:Did not occur or B:Did not occur in the manner described. I actually tried to not be scathing in my description of the BLM demands of the NuLu business community. This was a result of a friend of mine in Louisville telling me how concerned he was over his city's future, especially as the demands were not drawing much response from the city's government.

If these sources did not meet Wikipedia's expecations, please let me know what would be a more appropriate level of sourcing — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZaBanker (talk • contribs) 20:13, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

That was indeed a bizarre assertion, eh? Paraphrasing... Testing for reliability only cares whether there is a system in place to check for accuracy, not that said system finds and/or corrects any found inaccuracies. Do wut?!?!?! (brain creak) I came here to say thanks for not letting that fallacy slide, but then had a right royal laugh at your talk page funnies at the top of this page. Thanks for that.

Notice
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Unprofessionalism and bullying by "Calton" and refusal to help me instead of bully me. Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 06:04, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

August 2020
Your recent editing history at Hirohito 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. DrKay (talk) 06:55, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Please abide by "Consensus required" rule at Julian Assange
This edit was a violation of the "Consensus required" rule in place at Julian Assange, because you reinstated an edit that had been challenged by another editor. I've reverted and will not be reporting the violation, but please follow the rules in place at the article. -Thucydides411 (talk) 18:39, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Andy Ngo
1. You have previously been warned about accusing me of white washing. 2. This material is the subject of an ongoing RFC and thus per policy should stay out as not having consensus. If you don't self revert I will take this to ANI. Springee (talk) 00:18, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction
A while ago I asked you to be more civil and reminded you about slow motion edit wars (the AE thread that spawned the warning was about Andy Ngo). Today you have accused people of whitewashing the article again and jumped into a slow motion edit war. Your comment on Springee's talk page was unhelpful and inflammatory. Because of this, I am topic banning you from Andy Ngo. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  02:05, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Edit war of Baked Alaska
You are currently engaging in an edit war on the baked Alaska page, as you have reverted it three times. I have reverted it as I have an exemption due to your edits being a clear violation of the policy on biographies of living persons.

request for civility
There was no need to refer to me as "Perry Mason" and accuse me of "weasel wording" here, especially as I was simply and politely expressing concern that the article in question falsely imputed criminality to innocent people—a patently good-faith concern. Snide and completely unwarranted nastiness directed at new editors is precisely why Wikipedia has a hard time retaining them and remains so homogenous—a well-documented phenomenon. I'd really appreciate if, in the future, you could make your opinions known in a civil fashion. Thanks! Elle Kpyros (talk) 20:50, 22 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Your response here was as rude, unwarranted, and unhelpful as your original comment. And you would likely benefit from looking up the definition of "weasel words", as you're misusing it. Far from using "weasel words", I was doing precisely what is recommended by MOS:WEASEL: "Claims about what people say, think, feel, or believe, and what has been shown, demonstrated, or proved should be clearly attributed." The relevant issue is rather one of MOS:ACCUSED, which makes clear that "alleged and accused are appropriate when wrongdoing is asserted but undetermined"—precisely how I employed "alleged". Instead of receiving more puerile snark from you, I'd genuinely appreciate a constructive, good-faith explanation as to why you reverted my edit, which simply attributed the obviously loaded term "police brutality" to those who employed it, and clarified that their use of the term is an allegation (unsupported, to date, by any finding of wrongdoing). As it stands, the article maligns living persons, without evidence or attribution, in Wikipedia's ostensibly NPOV voice. I certainly don't object to a neutral term like "use of force", but "police brutality", per Wikipedia, is "legally defined as a civil rights violation" and there is a serious BLP issue with ascribing it to LEO who have not been investigated or charged with any crime. There's nothing "legalistic" behind my edit; it's a simple application of some of Wikipedia's most basic principles. Elle Kpyros (talk) 18:21, 31 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I've asked politely for a good-faith explanation of your first reversion—but rather than supplying one, you've again reverted my edit without any substantive explanation. For a third time you've incorrectly accusing me of using "weasel words", despite my polite request to stop doing so. I've repeatedly asked that you discuss any substantive issue you may have with either/both reversions on the appropriate Talk page—but you have still failed to do so. You are frustrating my good-faith effort to help build this encyclopedia, and I again request that you either discuss the issues appropriately—or undo your reversions of my good-faith edits and refrain from this behavior in the future. Elle Kpyros (talk) 20:04, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

I would also like to second this request for civility. Upon simple suggestion on the talk page of rewording something in an already controversial article (much debate by others about specific wording) user:Calton immediately rudely accused me of "weasel-wording" and then condescendingly attempted to prove his case by dumping an inordinate amount of article headlines and excerpts into the response, rudely charging that "he could do this all day" as if he was attempting to engage in some sort of competition. Rather than engage in meaningful debate/conversation about the talk page topic, he resorted to accusations and condescending behavior. Here is the talk page where this incident occurred: --Brboyle (talk) 13:22, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

can we modify a closed discussion on ANI?
If no, then you need to see that managed to slide in a funny one post closure which I only undid and which you subsequently redid. Please check page history and revert my edit to ensure closed ANI discussions are not contaminated even if in humour. Best! Vikram Vincent 06:49, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

To enforce an arbitration decision and for Violating you topic ban with this edit on the page Andy Ngo, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page:. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. Guerillero Parlez Moi 20:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)  Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

 * Thank you. I was open-heart surgery (aortic-valve replacement) that went sideways on the table, so my two weeks in the hospital wound up being six. For the near future, I'm taking a boatload of drugs, including warfarin, which came with a very Japanese warning: I'm not allowed to eat nattō, because its very high amount vitamin K would counter-act the warfarin. The cartoon-filled warfarin information book even has an illustration of a package of nattō with an "X" over it. Sounds like something that would show up on House --Calton &#124; Talk 10:33, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Do not by any means eat nattō, then. I've seen a video of nattō being stirred. I don't want to be parochial about food cultures, but I wish I could get that visual out of my head. Bishonen &#124; tålk 13:25, 27 February 2021 (UTC).
 * Yeah, it looks weird, even to some Japanese -- people from the Osaka region famously don't like the stuff, with one Osakan telling me, "Nattō is NOT a food" -- but it's pretty tasty, in my opinion. If you ever get to Japan, give it a try. --Calton &#124; Talk 07:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello and explanation
Hi Calton, sorry if I sounded harsh at AN; I left a message similar to this on Mo Billings page after I commented originally. There are lots of reasons to have a prior account and not disclose it WP:CLEANSTART. Asking puts someone doing a legit cleanstart in an uncomfortable position, so unless there is an actual reason to suspect wrong doing, its not appropriate to ask. Even if there were a problem in the past, as long as they have notified ArbCom and are acting under their guidance, there isn't a problem. It appears Mike has explained his situation.

Hope you're well, best wishes from Los Angeles,  // Timothy :: talk  08:24, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
