 * If you check the history of Hillary Rodham Clinton, two other editors have removed it as trivality at first. Then you readded the text two more times, which after having been reverted one more time before me, I naturally assumed you were vandalizing the page. If you weren't, I would suggest adding it to the talk page with a source. Then you can get more consensus on whether it should really be added to the article. Without a notable source, me or any other editor is entitled to remove it on sight as unsourced and non notable. The pages on Verifiability and Notability should help clarify this more. I hope this answers your question, if it didn't, please let me know. Have a nice day!  Burner 0718  Jibba Jabba!  22:46, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Planned Parenthood
Please note that the current controversy section is the result of a long discussion that achieved consensus to have it in its current form. Since this is a controversial article, please refrain from making additions to that section without first discussing it on the talk page and getting consensus. Thanks!

Nick Danziger
Hi, I was going to start an article on him and saw Gerixau/Nick Danziger, which has been left for some time. Are you ok if I take this as a starting point? Johnbod (talk) 13:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SummerPhD. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Gigi Gaston, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Ted Kennedy (priest)
If a new edit is objected to and reverted by another editor then the person who added the new information is expected to follow the appropriate discussion process instead of reverting the revert. I have again removed your edit to the Ted Kennedy article because it was non-notable and unreferenced trivial gossip and personal commentary. Do no(t) add this information again unless it is properly referenced. Anglicanus (talk) 11:51, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * why not search for the cites yourself, and improve it ? That is my approach GerixAu (talk) 06:54, 10 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Your unconstructive editing on this matter has already been reverted several times. The reference does not support your personal commentary. It is also your responsibility to provide proper references for your own editing, not other editors. Afterwriting (talk) 13:07, 5 July 2015 (UTC)


 * thanks for your input. "As a professional educator and writer" your views must demand the greatest attention and respect. Perhaps it may be useful to request comment from other suitably qualified editors on this. GerixAu (talk) 08:18, 18 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Are you serious?! Firstly, there is nothing in the reference which states or even implies that "His friends were accustomed to his regular consumption of alcohol" ~ only that he was "a man who sometimes imbibed too much" and, because of this and his unruliness, had "a lot in common with jailbirds, alcoholics and, in particular, Kooris." There is no mention in the reference of "his friends" in this context and nothing about them being "accustomed to his regular consumption of alcohol". Perhaps they were, but the reference does not mention this. Therefore it is speculative commentary on your part. Secondly, your edit says that Kennedy had "limited patience for those he called 'do-gooders'". Again, maybe he did but the reference does not say this and doesn't even mention him calling some people "do-gooders". All of this is your own personal commentary without any support in the reference. This kind of editing is not acceptable. Afterwriting (talk) 11:32, 18 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you again for your feedback, suggestions and yr point of view. Quite understandable - unacceptable editing and non-serious contributors are a clearly demonstrated issue on WP. GerixAu (talk) 20:16, 19 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Please stop edit warring over your repeated and unconstructive inclusion of information which is not supported by the reference you've provided. It is not acceptable and it is also ridiculous that you keep telling me to read the reference. I have done so and it does not support your editing. Afterwriting (talk) 16:59, 17 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree. The references do not say what you claim they do. Anglicanus (talk) 05:28, 18 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks again guys (or gals) for your consistent input . It is noticeable that it's always the same two users who object to these edits, or seems to be.  Wonder if there is someone else out there who can comment? I am interested to know if either of you met Ted or Fergus at Redfern, and whether this may be the basis of your repeated edits? Don't know.  Yes, this contention has reached the stage of edit warring - I'll stop now. GerixAu  (talk) 10:43, 18 September 2015 (UTC)


 * However. I found more references, and since WP is not about suppressing facts, obviously within the limits of slander, I decided to include one . I feel that Ted would have wanted this. Good to see the article improving . GerixAu  (talk) 08:23, 20 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The remark about "do-gooders" was made by the author of the referenced article. There is no evidence provided that Kennedy ever "termed" people in this way. Your other comment about his friends being accustomed to his "regular consumption of alcohol" still remains unreferenced. Therefore both comments have again been removed. Anglicanus (talk) 09:59, 21 September 2015 (UTC)


 * This is looking rather repetitive of course. One wonders how there can be such divergent views of what seems to be one example of clear expression. No one seems to be addressing the necessity of removing these items of information from the article, which leads inevitably to the question of which editors are demonstrably contributing to this article. Life cannot be usefully composed of mere obscuration and wearing out the "delete" button, one might argue, one would expect something better. At the risk of indeed extending the scope of the repetition, there is always hope that one of you might search for a cite that could improve the article.  GerixAu  (talk) 13:21, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * This is effing ridiculous!!! If you can't edit properly then just go away and allow more sensible people to edit instead. You have repeatedly ascribed words that are clearly those of someone else to Kennedy himself. If you are incapable of realising this obvious fact then you are clearly incompetent. Afterwriting (talk) 12:24, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Intriguing. You may need to read the personal attacks page. Wonder if anyone is going to address the points I have mentioned. We'll push on if you don't mind. GerixAu (talk) 08:16, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * What is actually "intriguing" is why you have constantly failed to realise that you are ascribing comments clearly made by others to Kennedy himself. Weird. Afterwriting (talk) 09:15, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Afterwriting, that point is definitely worthy of further examination and may form the basis of some correction if it possesses validity. Have you read the personal attacks page yet ? I have . GerixAu  (talk) 22:54, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:57, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

User:Gerixau/---
Please note WP:USERNOCAT, and WP:User pages.

Both require that you userpages should not be placed in content categories.

So after you reverted my conversion of those categories on User:Gerixau/temp0 to links, I undid your edit.

Please note that WP:USERPAGE is very clear about this. It says "Wikipedia policies concerning the content of pages can and generally do apply to user pages, and users must observe these policies". I hope you will observe this policy, and not repeat the categorisation of your draft in 36 content categories.

Hello, I'm B dash. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 2018–19 South Pacific cyclone season, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * righto, done GerixAu (talk) 09:28, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Neocatechumenal Way. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.  CASSIOPEIA(talk) 09:04, 11 September 2019 (UTC)


 * You have returned the article to the state it was in. Actually I'm not sure what new material I did add. Consider this idea: my edit was structural .. you realise that the criticism paragraphs were somehow embedded in the Liturgy section, it's not hard to correct that, you know. If you wish to talk about unsourced information, this article has that in spades. Take a look. What would be the criteria for selecting this detail above others? Your edits have nullified the grammar corrections I made also, and my determined attempt to render the prose within encyclopaedic balance. My advice  CASSIOPEIA(talk) is simply slow down, read the article and consider what you are doing. It is a 'mess' in WP terms, what do you think? GerixAu  (talk) 09:28, 11 September 2019 (UTC)


 * H Gerixau, First of all, I am not an interested editor for this article. The revert was because you didn't provide sources of your input (content/info). You could copy edit and you are welcome to add them in if you would provide sources for verification and do see WP:PROVEIT / WP:BURDEN "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution." Article should achieve WP:WEIGHT/balance views points. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 10:15, 11 September 2019 (UTC)


 * This is a puzzle. Can you provide examples of that unsourced content? Thank you. We seem to disagree. GerixAu (talk) 01:53, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Neocatechumenal Way. <b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 05:39, 14 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi Gerixau, You need to ping me when so I may know you sent me a message. Sourced content means the info claimed (texts/content that input in the article) need to be supported by independent reliable source for WP:verification. We could not verify the info where they come from when there is not source provided. If I add  "Barack Obama is the president of Kenya" in an article and provide no source to support my claimed, then that is a "unsourced content" - which means I say that and I am just an anonymous editor in Wikipedia just like you. If I add "Alexander the Great was born in Pella, the capital of the Kingdom of Macedon. (source provided) then that would be considered independent, reliable source as I did not claimed the info but stated where I got the source from. (Independent = not related/associated with the subject and reliable = reputable trusted sources). To have due weight (different views) of a subject is welcome but any views/or any info place in the article need to support by sources. You are welcome to place back the info into the article but please provide sources.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 05:54, 14 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi Gerixau, I leave the ref on my message above. I saw you deleted message to me.  Whatever you do, pls adhere to the content policy of Wikipedia. As long as independent reliable is provided for verification and the info is written in neutral point of view in your own words, after all Wikipedia is a WP:Encyclopedia. Thank you.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:80%;color:#FA0"> CASSIOPEIA</b>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>) 03:10, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Woman (Wallis Bird album)


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Woman (Wallis Bird album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain etc.

Your draft article, Draft:Woman (Wallis Bird album)


Hello, Gerixau. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Woman".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the, , or  code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 01:58, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Since this user was unblocked two weeks ago, they have made six edits in article space. Of these, at least three    have added substantive uncited content. --JBL (talk) 18:04, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Gerixau, your unblock request above seems to indicate that you understand how Wikipedia works and that you intend to follow its policies. To be explicit, however, Wikipedia is supposed to summarize what reliable sources say and be verifiable.  This means you can't just add your own random thoughts to articles.  You have to summarize what someone else said.  If this sounds too tedious for you, maybe you should find something else to focus on.  Some people fix typos, some people revert vandalism, and some people write scripts to keep the site operating.  But if you continue like this, you're going to end up indefinitely blocked again.

This unblock request has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. However, we are willing to give you another chance provided that you can earn back the trust of the Wikipedia community. To be unblocked you need to demonstrate and confirm that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by: Once you have decided on the article you will propose improvements to:
 * Familiarizing yourself with our basic rules.
 * Reading our guide to improving articles.
 * Picking any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
 * If you have trouble choosing an article to improve, see this index of articles needing improvement for ideas.
 * Click the Edit tab at the top of that article;
 * Copy the portion of the prose from that article that you will be proposing changes to. However:
 * do not copy the "infobox" from the start of the article (i.e., markup like this: ),
 * do not copy any image placement code (i.e., markup like this: ),
 * do not copy the page's categories from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: ),
 * and do not copy the stub tag (if there) from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: );
 * Click edit at your talk page and paste at the bottom under a new section header (like this: ) the copied content but do not save yet ;
 * Place your cursor in the edit summary box and paste there an edit summary in the following form which specifies the name of the article you copied from and links to it (this is required for mandatory copyright attribution): " "
 * You can now save the page. However, if your edits will include any citations to reliable sources (which they should), add the following template to the end of your prose:  . Once you have added the template, click.
 * Now, edit that content. Propose significant and well researched improvements by editing the selected portion of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
 * When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking using and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
 * If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will hopefully improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "" to your talk page. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 09:42, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
