Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to ...And Justice for All (album) and St. Anger, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you.  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs)  07:49, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at St. Anger. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs)  21:20, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Your recent editing history at Milpitas station shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 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.

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.

Why are you claiming that the statement about displacement is not properly sourced? There is an entire page in the source that details the history of displacement and how BART contributed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 14:56, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Okay. I must not have noticed. Sorry about that.

You aren't directly blocked, your underlying IP address is blocked. In the first instance, try resetting your router to get a new IP address to clear the problem. PhilKnight (talk) 18:33, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at St. Anger, you may be blocked from editing. Other wikis are not reliable sources.  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs) 05:08, 2 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Consider this message to be coming from me too. Many of your edits to transit stations have terrible grammar, and your nonsense edit warring is problematic. Additionally, you need to use cite web and other citation templates rather than using bare urls for citations. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:41, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

First of all, I am making sure I don't get involved in edit wars. I do admit that I have gotten in a few before, but you calling it "problematic" is an overstatement. I just happen to make small edits that are different from yours. Second, you can't just make an excuse to threaten to block me from editing based on something I did in the past. Yes, I know my most recent warning was a couple of days ago, but for your information, I did not retaliate or engage in an edit war on that particular page that gave me a warning; in fact, the only reason I even got that warning was because of a link I didn't know was considered unreliable. Third, the only reason I was making "bare urls" is because I recently learned that I can publish them and I didn't happen to know that they, for the sake of formality, had to have "cite web" information. My explanation for not using "cite web" information: I simply did not know better. Fourth, you calling my grammar "terrible" I find unfair; we happen to write text differently, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with that. Even if there is something wrong, we can always just collaborate and try to work it out. Isn't this what Wikipedia is for? Fifth, you're taking my edits a little too seriously. So what if I made the information in an infobox or a description text a little differently than you did? At the end of the day, isn't it most important to convey information to account users and non-account users alike as clearly and accurate as possible?

By the way, I do enjoy helping out Wikipedia; I enjoy collaborating with everyone and contributing my ideas to pages. I want it to be a healthy space for everyone no less than you do.

FirstEnergy Stadium
While FirstEnergy Stadium is adjacent to the Cleveland Amtrak station, I reverted listing it as public transportation for the stadium because the station isn't used for travel to and from events there, especially Browns games. The infobox includes public transit info for people who may want to visit the location (hence listing the W 3rd St. RTA station), but Amtrak currently only serves that station at odd times, like 2 AM. --JonRidinger (talk) 14:58, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Okay. That makes sense.
