Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Template:San Jose Radio has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you.  Wikipelli  Talk   21:14, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ulferts Center
A tag has been placed on Ulferts Center requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — ZjarriRrethues — talk 18:02, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

East Bay edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Note that your IP address 24.5.202.48 is counted as well in your total edits. Binksternet (talk) 13:31, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

It is clear that you wish to change the definition of "East Bay" to one of only the cities bordering the San Francisco Bay. There are many sources which give a larger definition than that—the whole of both Contra Costa and Alameda counties:
 * East Bay Economic Development Alliance (map)
 * East Bay Regional Park District (map)
 * San Francisco East Bay (map)
 * The Oakland Tribune, Inside Bay Area, map of bicycle fatalities.
 * California State University, East Bay. Visiting.
 * Bay Area Hiker. East Bay hikes.

You will not find much support for the edit war you have begun. Please discuss on the talk page at Talk:East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area). Binksternet (talk) 13:31, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Geoffrey, the current definition of the San Francicso Bay Area on Wikipedia was arrived at by consensus of many editors. Before we can change that definition, we need to have a broad-based discussion.  Please stop trying to impose your views unilaterally. --Stepheng3 (talk) 16:49, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Binksternet (talk) 04:31, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war. 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. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below. B (talk) 14:42, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

It is unfortunate that the first edits you made after your block expired was to resume the exact same thing that got you blocked in the first place. Again, consensus is that the definition of the SF Bay Area is everything inside the nine county region. Therefore, I have no choice but to block you again. Regards. Zzyzx11 (talk) 16:10, 5 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Geoffrey, you clearly have good things to offer Wikipedia. There is only one way forward for you now that you have been blocked twice: Discuss your proposed changes on article talk pages. Gain consensus for your ideas. Binksternet (talk) 17:22, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

July 2010
You have been temporarily blocked from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal the block by adding the text  below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. - Rklawton (talk) 20:22, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Again, the consensus of the majority of users here on Wikipedia is to use the standard nine-county definition of the San Francisco Bay Area – the same definition used by the Association of Bay Area Governments and other local agencies within that region. Consensus is Wikipedia's fundamental model for editorial decision-making. Discussions about the nine-county definition have already been debated at length at least five years ago (See an archived discussion, for example, at Talk:San Francisco Bay Area/Archive 1) If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked indefinitely for disruptive editing.

Note:
This editor is likely 205.155.225.1 and/or 24.5.202.48 as the edits are pretty similar. Both of those editors have several warnings about the same edits on the same articles. Please note this as you make your decisions etc, its just an FYI. --milonica (talk) 03:30, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

November 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Wikipedia. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Various radio station articles around the SF Bay area. milonica (talk) 03:31, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Template:San Jose Radio
Hi. I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of Template:San Jose Radio, as it is not obvious in which way it is "a blatant misrepresentation of established policy". It was also nominated for deletion on Nov 25, 2010 - by you, as noted on its Talk page, and was kept - which means it is not now eligible for speedy deletion. If you think it should be deleted, you should nominate it at WP:TFD and explain your latest reasoning there -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:38, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

March 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Hong Kong hip hop with this edit, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Template:San Francisco Radio. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Stop changing radio coverage areas in articles. Binksternet (talk) 20:33, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

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 Template:California Radio Markets, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 20:40, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Template:San Jose Radio
Please stop nominating Template:San Jose Radio for speedy deletion - you have nominated it for speedy deletion before and it has been declined, which means you should not nominate it for speedy deletion again. If you believe it should be deleted, please take it to WP:TfD (though I see you have also tried nominating it there too, with no success) -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:42, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. ḾỊḼʘɴίcả •  Talk  •  I DX for fun!  22:43, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:56, 10 May 2011 (UTC) During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus.

 * You must stop your slow edit-war on these templates - if you do it again, your next block will be significantly longer. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:57, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

San Francisco Radio
Stop edit warring on these articles. You have been warned before, and blocked, so you know this action is contentious. Binksternet (talk) 23:29, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

October 2011
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Template:California Radio Markets. 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. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Binksternet (talk) 23:38, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Blocked
As you've persisted in disruptive behavior without responding to the many messages and warnings on this talk page, I've just blocked your account from editing. This block is indefinite, which means it will not expire until an administrator removes it manually. If you're prepared to make proper use of talk pages and engage in dispute resolution, we can unblock you. You can request unblocking by following the instructions on the page explaining your block (which you should see when you attempt to edit any page other than this one). – Luna Santin  (talk) 01:22, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
