This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Bids for Olympic Games, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 03:00, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

I did not vandalize Wikipedia. I was just adding the IOC Session where the host city of the 2023 Summer Youth Olympics will be announced. Johnny Brockman (talk) 03:27, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree that strictly speaking this was not vandalism. But it was still a specie of disruptive editing. This is an encyclopedia and referencing all material and claims of fact to reliable sources is not optional. Until/unless you come to realize this and abide by our guidelines you are going to have problems here. And unfortunately the community will only tolerate problematic editors for so long. Once your block expires you can try again, but if you really want to contribute here then you must abide by our basic editing guidelines. Perhaps you should consider asking for a WP:MENTOR. -Ad Orientem (talk) 20:23, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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:.

 * Note: This is your third block in a relatively short time frame for the same issue. Under the circumstances it is probably the last one you will get with an expiration date. I implore you to slow down and ensure that any material you add is properly referenced. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:15, 26 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Is the material you were adding, it appears to be flags, supported by reliably sourced text in the article? I didn't see it. But if I missed it, feel free to point it out. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:28, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

2023 Summer Youth Olympics Johnny Brockman (talk) 21:28, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The IOC have made no indication about when the 2023 Games will be awarded. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 21:47, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * It said in the 2023 Summer Youth Olympics article that the IOC is actively seeking a host city for the event, which will be decided at the 132nd IOC Session in Pyeongchang, South Korea in February 2018. Johnny Brockman (talk) 01:20, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You are pointing to an entirely different article than the one for which you were blocked for adding unsourced material. I am increasingly seeing this as a serious case of WP:CIR. That said, I will let another admin decide on your unblock request since I am the one who blocked you. But I think if you want to be unblocked you are going to need to accept that you have been adding material without references, and you will have to explain that you will not do so in the future and what it is that you want to do here, in detail. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:06, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved.

Only Warning: Sockpuppetry/Block Evasion
Credible evidence has been presented that suggests you may be editing using an IP address (editing while logged out of your account) in order to evade your block. Block evasion is a specie of sockpuppetry, which also includes using multiple accounts, and is generally a zero tolerance offense that will get you blocked indefinitely. However because you are relatively new here and may not be aware of all of our rules and guidelines I am going to give you a break. But let me be crystal clear, if there is any repetition you will be blocked indefinitely and without any further warning. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:12, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks like he is back at it again with another IP address Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:12, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

 * I swear I never even touched it since I've been blocked! Johnny Brockman (talk) 01:53, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. 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:.
