User talk:GildedBrain

December 2021
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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

RESPONSE
You are the one who reverted my change, rather than discussing in the Talk page, you now jump on my Talk page and threaten to BAN me? I merely reverted your revert. You mention forums not being cite-able. This is effectively a forum, and the discussion was on flagging. The coalescing of problems, really...

I will, however, discuss in the associated talk page. In fact, in my commit message I offered to discuss this in Talk! See: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Craigslist&action=history — Preceding unsigned comment added by GildedBrain (talk • contribs)


 * You're the one trying to add content, the onus is on you to get consensus for your edits - and that won't happen without a reliable source that actually supports the content, by the way. - MrOllie (talk) 00:03, 1 January 2022 (UTC)


 * BOLD - my edit was this. REVERT ONLY WHEN NECESSARY, from your own citation - you failed that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Revert_only_when_necessary — Preceding unsigned comment added by GildedBrain (talk • contribs)
 * Reverting badly sourced POV pushing is necessary. - MrOllie (talk) 00:08, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. 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:.

 * Now I am blocked site-wide forever and cannot create accounts? Creating another account would be a violation of WP:SOCK. I cannot even edit my own page! What page is that?--Bbb23 (talk) 01:42, 1 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Your indefinite, site-wide block prevents me from editing my own User page GildedBrain, which anyone curious about the history in those related articles may see first, which only has your block notice. Your block also mentions "account creation blocked" -- that is another part of your own block.  It prevents [] Special::CreateAccount. This all sums to be among the most severe blocks possible.  Why am I explaining this to you?  I am new and read through all this easily enough.  I should not have been blocked at all.  This should have simply been discussed further in the respective Talk pages, but this is censorship instead.GildedBrain (talk) 02:06, 1 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I also see a clear trend with MrOllie (talk), where he disruptively edits then threatens on user Talk pages instead of the actual Talk page, often technically just for disagreeing with the reliability of a new source (again, violating Wikipedia:Revert_only_when_necessary), as he did with me. I suspect the real issue is censorship.  Forum power plays.  Of course he deleted my discussion just because he didn't like the formatting ("Rv confused templating by new editor" -- leaving others that similarly added to the TOP of the page UP), and I am blocked so I can't do anything to help anyone or any page, including even reporting.  I wonder if he reported me through inappropriate IRC channels.
 * So if you ever want to get unblocked, drop this line. Drmies (talk) 03:08, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * GildedBrain, you can't refactor material on your Talk page once it's been responded to. I reverted your refactoring of the declined unblock request. If you do something like that again, I will revoke your access to this page.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:30, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * GildedBrain failed to heed my warning, so I have revoked TPA.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:47, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
