Vandalism of Rachel Reilly
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Rachel Reilly. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. – Nurmsook!  talk...  02:50, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry... what? How exactly have I vandalized her article? ElkoGraf (talk) 02:55, 19 July 2014 (UTC)


 * It probably has to do something with the fact that you keep saying she's dead, when she's clearly not. Because I don't think dead people can use Twitter... MisterRandom2 (talk) 03:07, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

She did have a husband though. ElkoGraf (talk) 03:09, 19 July 2014 (UTC)


 * .... And your point is? -- MisterRandom2 (talk) 03:12, 19 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I will see to it that you are tossed off this project for good is you don't stop this garbage vandalism about Reilly being a crash victim. Show some fucking class, respect the nearly 300 people that ACTUALLY DIED in this tragedy. Go vandalize a Pokemon article or something and leave this topic area alone.  NOW.

Rachel Reilly on MH17
Your recent editing history at Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. 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.

 * Might want to go easy on the newby. He just believed some internet BS, and added it to the site. Not a vandal, just new. Gulbenk (talk) 03:18, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Newbie or not, when multiple editors tell you that not a single one of the references provided lead to anything actual, pushing it back into the article over and over again is a really bad idea. You had best stop now, before you are blocked from editing. BMK (talk) 03:30, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Newbie, my eye. Look at today's edit history of Rachel Reilly, there have been several edits from different IPs trying to add this nonsense.  The "I just saw it one the internet" isn't even believable; look at the links they are trying to add, e.g. The Charlotte Observer.  This person or several persons are deliberately fabricating citations. Tarc (talk) 03:39, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi ElkoGraf. The citations are all fake. Follow the links and see for yourself. Please don't re-add this content now that you know. -- Diannaa (talk) 03:47, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Omfg... I don't know what to say, I'm so sorry. God fucking dammit, I feel like a faggot-fucking cunt honkey now. Thank you so much for pointing this out. Thank you. I think I'll be keeping away from Wikipedia for a few days until everything calms down. Fuck fuck fuck...... ElkoGraf (talk) 04:02, 19 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Points to BMK and Tarc on this. I was wrong. Still best to start off with the assumption of good faith. Gulbenk (talk) 04:05, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Me
What I do in Wikipedia is how I look at it. If there is something that is outdated, I fix it. I use google and warsintheworld.com as resources to do my edit. I do not know about you, but I make edits that brings negative and positive. I make mistakes. So do you, well major mistakes. Those two conflicts that you stated to me were from the two resources that I mentioned. Do yourself a favor. Use Google to help you make moral edits. Otherwise, we would not be having this issue. You have two choices: either leave me alone or report me.

If that's the case, it would be very helpful if you could actually include these citations when you alter the article content. ElkoGraf (talk) 13:00, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Maybe I am not much of an expert of an editor nor including citations. I look at articles that seem outdated. :(

Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
