Hi there!

Regading Roger Lyons. I suggest that you work on your sources regarding your recent addictions to this article. You can do that in your Sandbox and then add the content all at once. For reference, here is the diff of your changes to the article

Also, linking to your working copy of the changes and mentioning it on the article talk page would go a long way in getting consensus about those changes.

Greetings
Hello. I have posted a conflict of interest notice on Atma Singh, and noticed your edits. Then I looked at your contributions, and realised that I know you. You may like to look at my own contributions and userpage.

And here's a pint of bitter for you. Enjoy!

Alistair McAlpine, Baron McAlpine of West Green
I'm leaving you this note to let you know that I've revision-deleted your edits to the McAlpine article regarding allegations against him. Even if accusations against a person appear to be legitimate, WP:BLPCRIME suggests not including them until a conviction is made. There has not yet been a conviction against McAlpine, and furthermore, the allegations appear to be unsubstatiated. Therefore, I have removed them from the article to avoid violation of the BLP policy. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 23:06, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

No original research
Hi there. I think you may need to re-read the definition of original research. OR occurs when editors analyse material themselves, which is not happening here. Instead it is The Age (a secondary source) doing the analysing. Stickee (talk) 02:04, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
 * PS: I also might draw your attention to the three revert rule and the policy on edit warring. Stickee (talk) 02:16, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jim Atchison, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Blackfish. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Victoria Nuland: WP:BLP
The article is about Nuland, not about her husband (Robert Kagan). There is a growing concern that articles about married women over-emphasize husbands.

Please find high-quality, reliable sources (hqrs) about Nuland and use them to guide the improvement of the article. If a hqrs of a small size has a long discussion of Kagan, it might plausibly be used to expand the sentence about Kagan, for example.

As it is, the article notes Kagan with the typical way he is identified in contemporary hqrses.

June 2015
Your recent editing history at Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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 BRD 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 your 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.

Also, those sources were not all from Bellingcat. Dustin ( talk ) 22:18, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

No original research
Wikipedia does not allow original research - material needs to be sourced to a reliable publication. Please read the policy page and do not re-add your own conclusions or synthesis as you did at Shooting of Tamir Rice. -  Cwobeel   (talk)  02:47, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

RS noticeboard - Bellingcat
At Reliable sources/Noticeboard, you should bold your response "not RS" on your comment at the bottom so that your answer is apparent to other editors and administrators. In case you don't know how, place three single ' around the text: not RS. Mnnlaxer (talk) 15:18, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

WP:3RR
Please review WP:3RR. You currently have 2 editors against your inclusion, who combined get 6 reverts a day (three x 2). You only have 3 reverts. You can't win that mathematically. So you either need to engage on the talk page and get consensus, or stop reverting. If you keep reverting you will be reported to an administrator and likely blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Green  C  17:46, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Edit warring at Barrel bomb
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 04:02, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at White Helmets (Syrian Civil War), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please do not use unreliable sources like Wikispooks.

Edit-warring across multiple pages
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.

 * This edit, which you've done three times now, borders on vandalism. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 01:24, 9 April 2019 (UTC)


 * It looks like you're already been warned about this, but to clarify, a Reddit post is absolutely not a reliable source for this kind of thing. Repeating this edit days later is still edit warring. Please stop and discuss on talk pages. Grayfell (talk) 00:53, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Your addition to Knights of Liberty has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder.

Binksternet (talk) 17:01, 13 June 2020 (UTC)


 * You haven't read the source you claim to be copyright infringed, have you? You have simply gone on my wording "it's in the reference almost word for word", which was my response to your original deletion of my addition, claiming it wasn't referenced.  The key word you have ignored there is "almost".  In fact my addition was a careful precis of the reference, not a copyright infringing cut-and-paste. It's a bit disappointing that you have acted so impulsively.  Ditto your original vandalism on Knights of Liberty, which I have reported to Wikipedia and added to your talk page.Dbdb (talk) 17:36, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Knights of Liberty while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Jalen Folf  (talk)  00:16, 18 June 2020 (UTC)


 * You need to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#Editing_while_logged_out in particular "There is no policy against editing the encyclopedia while logged out"Dbdb (talk) 01:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be 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. 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.''Regardless of the copyright issue, you're clearly edit warring with multiple editors, across your account and your IPs. Continuing to do so will result in blocks. '' -- ferret (talk) 03:08, 18 June 2020 (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.

Why do you say I am continuing to violate your policies? I haven't violated any policies since I was blocked nearly a year ago.


 * Try WP:EVADE. Blocks apply to the person, not the account. SQL Query me!  20:07, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
