User talk:LordOfWalruses

Why did I have points taken off for my Sinaloa Cartel edit? The wording on that page was genuinely problematic.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. William Avery (talk) 22:08, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Introduction to contentious topics

 * You may only make edit requests on talk pages dealing with the Arab/Israel conflict. Please review the templates above for more information. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:24, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I was discussing with other editors on the article about Donald Trump, and a notification told me (after I wrote some replies) that the article was in a contentious topic. Am I not allowed to post talk pages/replies on an article in a contentious topic? If so, should I do something about the replies I already made? If I made unauthorized posts or other mistakes, please forgive me for this. LordOfWalruses (talk) 19:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

To enforce an arbitration decision, and for WP:ECR violations, you have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 1 week Wikipedia. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page:. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC)  Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

@311dot I understand why and I will try to avoid this mistake in the future, but there’s one other thing I must ask; does this apply to talk pages and/or fixing grammatical/syntax errors? LordOfWalruses (talk) 22:28, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

@331dot I understand why and I will try to avoid this mistake in the future, but there’s one other thing I must ask; does this apply to talk pages and/or fixing grammatical/syntax errors?

Also @311dot, I apologize for accidentally tagging you; I meant to tag someone else and I was off by one number. LordOfWalruses (talk) 22:31, 19 May 2024 (UTC)


 * @331dot I left a reply asking you about grammatical/syntax errors and/or talk pages. Please reply whenever you can, and I’m sorry for the excessive talk pages on my home page; I kept screwing up the tag system. LordOfWalruses (talk) 22:32, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry; despite appearances, I'm not here all the time. If you want to do something simple and uncontroversial like fixing spelling or grammar in an article or text related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, you should make an edit request. Please see the guidance about these rules above. 331dot (talk) 07:46, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for suggestion
You mentioned that you missed the tear gas image from the Jan 6 article. I have a memory of removing that because there were too many images in that part of the text and MEANING to re-add it later in the article. It's a good image, I would have been sad to see it go, thanks for pointing out that it got lost in the shuffle. Feoffer (talk) 10:10, 11 June 2024 (UTC)


 * You’re welcome, and thanks for listening to my suggestion. Have a nice day. LordOfWalruses (talk) 03:11, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
