Your use of multiple Wikipedia accounts

I don't care.
User:SuperMarioMan, I quite frankly have been sick of you and others over the years who undo my original work. If you ban my profile, I will simply not contribute any more content to your organization and tell others how annoying it is to share original and rare research. Regarding my username, I simply forgot about an old profile that I had (which gave my full name and was previously hacked) and connected that with my websites. I am fully aware of intellectual property law, have nothing to hide, and stand by all my work. --GrantMcLMcLachlan (talk) 15:10, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Of course you cannot share original research - it violates the core principles of this project. So feel free to complaint about how annoying it is - you actually agreed to it (✉→BWilkins ←✎) 17:08, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Further up the food chain
If your gonna report people, at least try not to sound civil, doesn't make you look to good when a case opens. WP:BOOMERANG.  ★ ★ RetroLord★ ★  16:06, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your advice. You have no idea how annoying it is to donate original, rare, or old content only to find people unnecessarily challenging it. It is so frustrating when one reads all the criteria, tick the relevant boxes and someone undoes your work! It does not help the reputation of the Wikipedia organization. --GrantMcLMcLachlan (talk) 16:09, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It'd probably be best if you stopped throwing the 'reputation' line around as well.  ★ ★ RetroLord★ ★  16:14, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? The politics amongst the editors can't be that prissy? Actually, you're right, it probably is. ;) --GrantMcLMcLachlan (talk) 16:16, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Self-published book spammed as an EL, probably good candidate for removal. Ravensfire ( talk ) 16:17, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by 'EL'? --GrantMcLMcLachlan (talk) 16:18, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I was actually just going to WP:AN about that. What do you think would be the best course of action Ravensfire?  ★ ★ RetroLord★ ★  16:19, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * A google search on the book's title pulls up essentially nothing. So it's a self-published book with no real external reviews or commentary an author that I cannot find anything about to justify calling them an expert. I'm not questioning their research or work because we must rely on independent views about their expertise. External links aren't there for everyone to add in their book and I just can't see how this one meets the WP:EL criteria.  I'm going to start removing the external links from the articles it was added.  Ravensfire ( talk ) 16:44, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The book goes on sale in the next week. The www.sparrowbook.com website states that clearly. Check out the link here: https://www.createspace.com/4063065. I have shared a lot of my original research over the years that is mentioned in the book. I don't appreciate all these editors ganging up on me as effectively it is bullying. If you don't appreciate my tone, expect me lash out if you try to corner me. --GrantMcLMcLachlan (talk) 16:48, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Revoke TPA User:Bwilkins? It's effectively becoming a soapbox for this books promotion.  ★ ★ RetroLord★ ★  16:52, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Grant, please read the wikipedia policies on reliable sources and original research. Your book is self-published which means it is NOT a reliable source and cannot be used as one on Wikipedia articles. Information from sources you used researching for your book CAN be used IF they are sourced to that particular source AND you are only using information directly from that source. Conclusions that you draw based on your research that are not directly found in those sources cannot be used in Wikipedia articles.  It's not bullying.  It's not ganging up.  It's editors defending the integrity of Wikipedia articles based on Wikipedia policies.  Calling it anything else is counter-productive.  If you want to continue to work on articles here (and I hope you do), you MUST follow those policies.  No exceptions.  You've got a WP:COI with regards to your book as well that you need to be careful with.  Ravensfire ( talk ) 16:58, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Blocked
This account has been blocked indefinitely for very obvious block evasion. It's clear you're the same editor as User:Bofors40mm, and you're now editing - and harassing - in violation of policy. (✉→BWilkins ←✎) 16:25, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I looked through several of the editors involved with this dispute and you have multiple usernames. There's a name for that, but that would be 'harassing,' wouldn't it! --GrantMcLMcLachlan (talk) 16:43, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I am sick to death of Wikipedia editors. Wikipedia editors are all a bunch of overzealous bullies! Wikipedia has made an enemy, thanks to your feeding frenzy. I would prefer if someone would please delete this username as soon as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GrantMcLMcLachlan (talk • contribs)


 * You already know you cannot remove the block notice while it's in effect, and you also know that usernames cannot be deleted. (✉→BWilkins ←✎) 17:05, 12 July 2013 (UTC)


 * If you want to permanently stop using this account, make sure there is no e-mail associated with it and set the password to random characters. That's the best you can do at this point.  Ravensfire ( talk ) 17:07, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Done. I really have had a gutsful of predatory editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.63.37.91 (talk) 17:27, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
