Notice

 * DavidWood11, it looks like somebody gave you an ARBIPA alert too early, before you knew what is what. But it means that, if you are not editing Wikipedia in accordance with its policies, you are liable to be sanctioned. You need to urgently review the policies mentioned in the Welcome message below. Please start with WP:Five pillars, and follow the links given there in order to understand what it all means.
 * The discussion you are making at Talk:The_Wire_(India) is firmly against the policies of Wikipedia. If you continue in this manner you are liable to get sanctioned. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:54, 9 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I have having a healthy consensus discussion going on the talk page, what is the problem? DavidWood11 (talk) 10:51, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Your statement "It is irrelevant that how many media outlets have covered any incident" is the problem. Because WP:Five pillars tells you, "We strive for articles in an impartial tone that document and explain major points of view, giving due weight for their prominence." Do you understand what that means? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:53, 9 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Plz provide the whole sentence that i have given. I think you have cherry picked one line out of context. DavidWood11 (talk) 10:56, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Onus of discussion lies on you
PLz discuss the edit you did on 2021 Farmers' Republic day parade. The onus lies onyou DavidWood11 (talk) 11:38, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No. it is on you. see WP:ONUS--Walrus Ji (talk) 11:40, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Use of capitals in edit summary
Please do not use all capital letters in your edit summaries. It looks like your are shouting and it contrary to WP:CIVIL and WP:SHOUT. Thanks Robynthehode (talk) 10:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

February 2021
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:The Wire (India) are for discussion related to improving (a) an encyclopedia article in specific ways based on reliable sources or (b) project policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article 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. —  Newslinger  talk   09:46, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your advice, plz let me know where to discuss the quality of news outlets like The Wire (India). DavidWood11 (talk) 06:13, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The correct venue would be the reliable sources noticeboard. —  Newslinger  talk   09:04, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

April 2021
Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Tayi Arajakate Talk 06:13, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Point out my commentary/analysis in the article if you find any. DavidWood11 (talk) 06:27, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * In Special:Diff/1017509144, you titled a section called "Voting appeal on communal grounds", the only mention of "communal grounds" in the cited article is in the line stating that "a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) delegation, led by Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, lodged a complaint with the EC alleging that Banerjee was demanding votes on “communal grounds." This notice is also in reference to your general pattern of editing. Tayi Arajakate  Talk 06:46, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Yogi Adityanath, you may be blocked from editing. Tayi Arajakate Talk 07:44, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Plz stop giving block threat. You have removed a properly sourced section. plz refer this source [] DavidWood11 (talk) 08:02, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising, as you did at Yogi Adityanath. Tayi Arajakate Talk 09:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Tayi Arajakate Talk 12:28, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Stop giving block threat again and again. Discuss your dispute rationally DavidWood11 (talk) 09:31, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Final warning
It is clear that you are not here to contribute to building an encyclopaedia but rather to push your POV. Any further edits like this and your editing privileges will be revoked.&mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  07:21, 4 July 2021 (UTC) Discuss how DavidWood11 (talk) 07:24, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Extended protect access
Hi, requesting extended protected access. Thanks
 * WP:RFPP is the correct venue for that. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:10, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, ; WP:RFPP is for requesting protection of specific pages. David Wood, I'm not aware of any other way to get access to editing extended confirmed-protected pages than to fulfill the conditions described at WP:ECP: for your account to have at least 30 days' age (which it does) and at least 500 edits (which it does not). The idea of adding ec protection to pages is to allow only experienced users to edit them. You are a fairly inexperienced user, with 164 edits as I type this, even though you registered 9 months ago. Note, however, that you can request edits to an extended confirmed-protected page by proposing them on its talk page, using the  template if necessary to gain attention. Hope this helps. Bishonen &#124; tålk 18:15, 4 October 2021 (UTC).
 * I was mistaken that there is no other way, David: requests can be made at Requests for permissions/Extended confirmed. However, that is more of a technicality, since it says, "Unless you are requesting confirmation for a legitimate alternate account your request will almost certainly be denied." Bishonen &#124; tålk 05:53, 5 October 2021 (UTC).
 * Bishonen, Thanks for your info DavidWood11 (talk) 07:52, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Edit warring at The Wire (India)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on The Wire (India). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Toddy1 (talk) 13:05, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * Plz see this and this talk going on at the talk page of the relevent page. DavidWood11 (talk) 14:14, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I am perfectly aware of Talk:The Wire (India) (you forgot to sign the post entitled "Barabanki false news reporting", but do not worry I have added your signature for you) [[file:Smiley.svg|20 px]] -- Toddy1 (talk) 14:37, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Information.svg Please read WP:NOTVANDALISM. Describing edits that you disagree with as "vandalism" is not helpful. -- Toddy1 (talk) 07:42, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Information.svg Please learn to do diffs - see Help:Diff.
 * This link is not a diff. It is merely a link to a particular version of the article.
 * This link is a diff. Can you see the difference?

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. 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:. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 09:06, 12 October 2021 (UTC) Twice now, here and here the issue with your competency has come up. Both times you disappeared until the discussion was archived. This needs to be addressed before you are allowed to edit again. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 09:08, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Reviewing admin see also. This can be handled at reviewing admin's discretion without further permission from me, I am of course available for discussion. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 02:36, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Dear Admins
 * I was editing wiki pages mostly occasionally and as per my availability from my busy schedules as per guidelines and five pillars of wikipedia. In case of disputes i always preferred using talk pages of articles and other editors like this, this, this, this, this thisthis this. However, today i was blocked, despite my best practice to engage with other editor in a civil manner. Requesting an unblock. DavidWood11 (talk) 12:02, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Your unblock request will gain more attention if you employ the unblock template as instructed in your block notice. However, I would most certainly decline the request as posted.  You have in no way addressed the issue(s) that resulted in your block.  Please read WP:GAB before submitting another request.  Tide  rolls  13:11, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * DavidWood11: I'm hesitant to say this since it should be WP:NOTTHEM anyway but I feel I should point out there's an inherent contradiction between claiming you have a "best practice to engage with other editor in a civil manner" and you seeing you made a false accusation of vandalism very recently [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Wire_(India)&diff=prev&oldid=1049494970] [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ATayi_Arajakate&type=revision&diff=1049495402&oldid=1047950359] [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:The_Wire_(India)&diff=prev&oldid=1049495093]. A false accusation of vandalism is a personal attack and therefore is inherently not civil and it's even worse when you feel the need to repeat it in 3 different places. As for your disappearance whenever your editing was called into question before, even if we accept that you genuinely didn't have time previously when questions were raised, you still needed to deal with it when you did have time. This means reading what was said, taking onboard and comments about your behaviour and seeking feedback where needed to improve. But whatever, that's also in the past.  You now need to demonstrate you understand how you've gone wrong and how you will try to avoid such mistakes in the future to be unblocked. So take a read of the most recent thread and the previous threads about your behaviour, take a read of the relevant guidelines and policies and ask questions if you're still confused. Just saying you didn't really do anything wrong is not going to cut it.  Nil Einne (talk) 14:10, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

 * What part of your block notice is unclear?  Tide  rolls  11:43, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

WP:EXPLAINBLOCK DavidWood11 (talk) 07:21, 15 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I have explained. What is unclear to you? HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 09:03, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Toddy, you are uninvolved in blocking me HIgh in BC does. Plz avoid any comment here. HIgh in BC. Plz explain WP:EXPLAINBLOCK pointwise nothing is clear. DavidWood11 (talk) 10:39, 15 October 2021 (UTC)


 * You had it explained, you crossed it out. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 10:41, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

You have blocked me out of blue in a response to (and immediately after) filing my this compalin against a user in guise of my backlog ANI notice, to which i said above that i can defend that. You faileD to respond my multiple request of WP:EXPLAINBLOCK This is a clear case of WP:ADMINABUSE. You are misuing your ability of sysop. DavidWood11 (talk) 10:54, 15 October 2021 (UTC)


 * This block has been explained to you, I explained it to you when I made it. Another user pointed out that explanation and you crossed it out. If you think the block is inappropriate then you can use the unblock template. I recommend you read Guide to appealing blocks first though. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 11:04, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
