User talk:Louis Waweru

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have.  You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox.  When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.  First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette.  Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame)  17:30, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

Deliberate factual errors?
Honest mistake. I think you want to pay more attention to article histories and what you're doing before you start dropping vandalism warnings on people's talkpages. Ford MF (talk) 21:44, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the new hierarchy image. Never thought of that when I posted the other before. This one is way better than the one I've translated from the french page. Freedom Fighter 1988 (talk) 23:45, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you =) It was my first time trying to make an SVG image, but I don't think it worked out too well, so I put up a PNG. I was a little confused by this box, can you check it to make sure it's ok? Here's the source if you want to work with my SVG to change it up:

Derry Brownson
Hello, thank you for improving the article on Derry Brownson, it was so badly written and formatted that I suspected that it was a sort of joke; I'm not sure of that person notability because I don't have time to check. bye.--Doktor Who (talk) 19:55, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Article Size Graph
Thank you very much for the article size graph software. I'm using it in Firefox where it seems to be working well.

It is interesting to see the different graph patterns.

sawtooth graph - Reference desk/Language

very stable - German Requiem

eccentric behaviour - Book of Mormon

I asked about this because I often see comments on talk pages "this article is too long" and I'm interested on whether concerns like this are addressed or ignored.

Thanks, Wanderer57 (talk) 20:48, 22 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, it was fun. That language desk graph is very interesting. It's like the archive bot is fighting an endless series of waves of questions. If 500 edits isn't enough to help you visualize what you're trying to do, you can manually edit the number in the url bar (up to 5000). On the history page you'd be looking at the number after "&limit=". Here's how the language desk looks at a higher resolution: |September%2010|September%2013|September%2017|September%2023|September%2028|October%202|October%206|October%2010|October%2015|October%2018|October%2022|&chds=13227,301298 graph. There's was a tidal wave in September! Louis Waweru  Talk  10:56, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The Y axis scaling on this one seemed to behave differently than the others I tried. Perhaps it is simply that the maximum size value is low.  User talk:Allstarecho  Wanderer57 (talk) 13:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You found a bug =) What happens is when figuring out the min/max size of the axis it considered all 2125 edits. But I have it set not to plot every single edit, but every few edits. So the edit that made the Y axis so tall wasn't plotted. I can make it plot more edits, but there was a problem with the google URL getting long (really long). Google has a way to overcome this, but I found it to be really confusing (it didn't use base 10, I honestly wasn't sure what base it was using). Also, google will only let the charts be 1000px wide. So I guess it would be possible to plot up to 1000 edits (1 plot per pixel) minus the space taken up by the Y axis text. Glad you're still using it...I'll try to fix it up soon. BTW, that is one busy talk page...hahah. Louis Waweru  Talk  08:35, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (crop & shrink).png
A tag has been placed on Image:Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (crop & shrink).png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Louis Waweru Talk  00:51, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Uniform Land Use Review Procedure


A tag has been placed on Uniform Land Use Review Procedure requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.nyc.gov/html/mancb2/downloads/pdf/handbook_appendices_2006.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. S Philbrick (Talk)  13:32, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I think this is an unacceptable way for an admin to use the Copyvio tool and the CSD process, for which G12 seems to be a pattern for you. It is offensive for you to ignore the tool's warning to check for false positives and simply leave it up to other admins to put out your fire. Immediately automating CSD-G12 with a Twinkle is offensive, seizing a page and calling for administrative vote when administration is demonstrating a disregard for the effort required of a proper review is frightening, and most of all removing regular users from the process is offensive to the all user classes.


 * The Copyvio tool likely behaves this way for all legislation (example). The tool also detected a derivative document, and not the bill I referenced in the article. The source of the content is a bill that was later enacted into law by the NY State Senate. I was reading your talk page copyright section, and believe this is one of your 1 to 2% good faith mistakes. I would appreciate you deescalating the issue before it passes through a procedure that is based on admin consensus. For the 1 to 2%, there is no good outcome of being profiled into guilty until proven innocent situation.


 * It's very reminiscent of my youth during a Giuliani and Bloomberg stop-and-frisk NYPD, and the nighttime abductions by strangers, often in regular clothes, that fortunately turned out to be real enforcers and not serial-killers. Even the judges eventually grew sick of prosecutors marching in profiled after profiled presumed violator, as admins will eventually grow tired of verifying G12 CSDs stemming from questionable and completely subjective probable cause. Over a career that 1 to 2% will grow to a significant number, and misusing tools to bypass checks and balances will cause that percentage to balloon as well. Just as bad, bad practice is contagious, it affects partners, then departments and colleagues, to the point where some violation is so common that the entire power holding community aims for accepts the normalcy of it all to the point where maximum force is used by default and instead of warning jaywalkers or traffic violators, civil lawsuits are settled for families of dead presumed violators, or regular users are manually disputing someone's automated maximal-force-option declaration of guilt.


 * This behavior is not a 1-2% "mistake" but a pattern of abuse and misuse of the tools and processes I'd expect an admin to have an exemplary level of respect for. Throwing the cuffs on the average class and turning them over to a process for powerholders, in a community where votership is likely so low normal user participation is probably a minority vote compared to the extra-class-holding vote, is indefensible, regardless of the overall end result on purging copyvios.


 * I just wanted to let you know my encounter with your style of patrolling was 10/10 garbage. Please stop inventing policy by asking people to politely explain why your G12-CSD is invalid on your talk page and politely just stop doing every single thing you demonstrated here. All of the things you didn't do while and after using the automation tools, start doing.


 * This experience is so much like my encounters with those pigs who don't mind having a long list of people complaining about being wrongly thrown into bureaucratic process with a layover in some holding cell.


 * We have this law here in NYC where it's a violation to take up two seats on the subway. It was written to have a legal reason to bring homeless people off the streets during cold winters. One summer day, after waiting in a holding cell for the administration to get aroudn to my case, the judge explained why the violation exists, and actually shouted, in actual fury, to stop bringing these bullshit cases before him.


 * That's my analogy for you and your claims of "blatant violation of code WP:CSD" before an audience of admins. Louis Waweru Talk  09:17, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , Wow, that's quite a rant.
 * > It is offensive for you to ignore the tool's warning to check for false positives
 * I think it's rather offensive for you to jump to conclusions without facts. While a sample size of 10 is too small to draw definitive conclusions, I took a glance at the last 10 items I reviewed. In six of the 10 cases I concluded that there was a false positive and identified the reported potential as "No action needed". That's exactly what's supposed to happen. I don't make any claim to perfection. I've reviewed 10 times as many reports as you have edits, and it is inevitable that some mistakes will be made.
 * > This behavior is not a 1-2% "mistake" but a pattern of abuse
 * Please provide some evidence to back up this claim
 * > I would appreciate you deescalating the issue before it passes through a procedure that is based on admin consensus.
 * What on earth does this mean?
 * > The source of the content is a bill that was later enacted into law by the NY State Senate
 * I am aware that the actual content of legislation is an exception to the usual copyright restrictions even if the material is not explicitly identified as not being covered by copyright. I'm also aware that this limitation is a little more complicated than it sounds, but that's probably beyond the scope of this discussion. On multiple occasions, I've seen an editor add some material to an article and include an excerpt from legislation to help illustrate the point, and I invariably accept those as false positives. That may be what happened in this case but it didn't look like that to me. Clearly you weren't writing a long article about some topic which you supplemented with relevant legislative language, it looks to me like you just copied and pasted some material and thoguth it would serve as an article. It doesn't look remotely acceptable as an article, so if you think it would be better to undo the copyright removal and remove the article because it's not up to standards, we could go that route.
 * Regarding your two seats in the subway analogy, start by saying I'm a big fan of using analogies to help illustrate a point, but I haven't yet figured out how taking up two seats on the subway is an allergist to trying to keep Wikipedia clear of copyright violations. I urge you to do 1% as much as I have, that is clear two hundred reports, and then come back and tell me how the analogy works. S Philbrick  (Talk)  19:04, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Popride2/Technical Difficulty


Please do not create hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at User:Popride2/Technical Difficulty. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Hi there, I'm sorry to see this happened, though I have no idea what it is that took place. Would you please help me understand what this was about?

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:Sphilbrick. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. —— Serial  21:34, 9 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I was commenting on this bullshit content he left on my talk page, before proceeding to delete my new page, and acting like that all fine
 * Please stop confusing attacks with confrontations.
 * Louis Waweru Talk  21:44, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * His request was revoked, of course. Louis Waweru Talk  21:45, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * That was eleven months ago. Also, Sphilbrick didn't delete Uniform Land Use Review Procedure - thay tagged it for administrator attention, because of a concern about copyright violation. There is a difference between tagging and deletion. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 21:51, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * There is no difference when the tag formed with complete lies. Thank you for the detailing of events though. I appreciate it.
 * It took 11 months for the tool to reveal it is flawed. Both users received the same response from me.
 * I am disappointed in you for assuming there was a copvio. There was a 3KB new page, 1KB was the legislature. I'm not changing the language crafted by a legislative body after reaching consensus of the wording.
 * Again, you posted this attack warning on the Victim's Talk Page.
 * You should rethink your involvement here and why you chose too support the improper use of the CSD process. He claimed I pleaced the foundation in a legal situation by not changing 1KB of language crafted by a legislative body after reaching consensus of the wording in a brand new 3KB document.
 * Louis Waweru Talk  23:49, 9 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Im seconding this. Final warning. Stop with the personal attacks and harrassment of other editors. Wikipedia requires you to be WP:CIVIL and to assume good faith, and you're failing both spectacularly. Sergecross73   msg me  00:16, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I always assume good faith. Except for when I am being accused of attacks against my character. I invite you to leave this club you claim in I am in, and take seriously your duty to not let some stupid set of scripts ruin Wikipedia.
 * The previous two sections are in violation of Civility. Stop accusing me of harassment of other editors by using links to generic pages like that. Assuming good faith has been a tenet of mine well before Wikipedia.
 * Try not to be so close minded, I was creating a dialog from a place where the user admits no idea of what the text about to be automatically posted to my page was. Actually, the user went on to deny any responsibility for it.
 * What is different with what we did to each other that got you involved to claim I am in danger of some sort or punitive punishment?
 * If you agree with the bold, and see no role for you to play there, just send a Y. I don't think there's much to discuss here. Though I would be happy to help you expand your knowledge of WP:CIVIL. I would love to hear how the previous three sections including this one even pretend to comply with it.

 * @Sergecross73
 * Avoiding incivility
 * Incivility – or the appearance of incivility – typically arises from heated content disputes.
 * Explain yourself. Insufficient explanations for edits can be perceived as uncivil. Use good edit summaries, and use the talk page if the edit summary does not provide enough space or if a more substantive debate is likely to be needed.
 * Be careful with user warning templates. ... Consider using a personal message instead of, or in addition to, the templated message.
 * Again, you two are warning the victim. The only facts you have given me contradict your standings.
 * How about take a break and looking at this with fresh eyes later on?
 * You do need to stop with the one-sided threats of reprimand. It's insulting, and encourages demonstrably negative behaviors that are in violation of all of the policies I've been sent by you two.
 * Yes, the user describes a good-faith decision tree that resulted in the previous section. That was my introduction.
 * Louis Waweru Talk  00:43, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Defending the Vandal script by users who have no idea what it will do, and apparently don't bother to check.
 * Being okay with that is the resolution I am picking up from you.
 * Sorry, but I can't okay an abusive, insulting templates by users who don't know how vulgar and anti-WP:CIVIL and anti-AGF and anti-social they are.
 * It's clear as day, there's a consensus at the moment to define incivility in part by: not bothering to contact the user you're about to dismiss with a template, and make sure you use the template properly; and to take care with warning templates, for example, he use of the Vandal script by users who have no idea what it will do, and apparently don't bother to check. Is careless.
 * Louis Waweru Talk  00:53, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Your every comment is an angry rambling response, no matter who it is or what they say to you. You're not making any sense or getting through to anyone like this. I recommend taking some time away to cool off. You're not getting getting anywhere acting like this. Sergecross73   msg me  01:05, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Please stop making comments as if they are facts. You told me to read Civility and I explained to you how these users are using scripts in such a way that violates it and AGF.
 * I'm sorry you can't comprehend that.
 * Again, I'm not angry with you, I am disappointed in your absolute focus on me, while ignoring the cause of the violations, all originated on my talk page, by first time interacting editors who signed what WP:CIVIL says exactly not to sign.
 * I'm glad you agree with the break idea. I think it would do you some good in allowing you to reprocess what happened.
 * If you're goal is to convince me that it's okay to violate Civility and WP:AGF because a script is to blame not the editor controlling it, you're gonna have to send more then entire intra-wiki pages, and start citing examples where I am the original violator of a rule or decorum, or punishable offense.
 * Tell me what I said. Quote me. Tell me if a word was inappropriate given a user who admits having no idea of what the text about to be automatically posted to my page by a script would possible say. Actually, the user went on to deny any responsibility for it. Don't forget I let a week go by with a friendly invite to help me understand what happened. Did you see that?
 * I used standard English, going way back, that provoked an immediate reply. Sorry, but vulgarity largely behavior. The F-bomb is perfectly appropriate sometimes.
 * Louis Waweru Talk  01:23, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * You need to rethink your approach. You're getting extremely offended about generic, everyday automated template messages. And even worse, you're making it everyone else's problem. Most people just delete templates messages they dont agree with. They're not some sort of badge of shame, they're a notification that someone thinks you may be doing something wrong. Take their advice or don't, but stop wasting the community's time on this.  Sergecross73   msg me  04:13, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * You're no truth seeker. I found the originals. I was right, he deleted my New Article for no reason. Users flying scripts on autopilot. I don't care you approve. I don't care what most people get offended by. Stop wasting my time, and admit your process is flawed. Louis Waweru Talk  04:53, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Continued from Linkin's talk page
Accusing people of "character assassination", making "flagrant attacks old-timers", calling Linkin's use of Twinkle "disgusting", "extremely offensive" and "deceptive", telling him "you deserve the most vulgar response for what you did," comparing the deletion of the page to a drone strike, this totally inappropriate section header on a second editor's talk page, and telling a third editor "Don't talk to me like that. It sounds like a fucking threat. Get lost" are all examples of your inappropriate and aggressive behavior. You can criticize deletion tags and script use without resorting to those kind of histrionics. If you continue to act like that, it will almost certainly end up with you blocked for violating WP:NPA/WP:CIVIL. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 05:37, 10 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry you find this music offensive. For me, it was disgusting, insulting, degrating, etc, tp create an article that is immediately given this title:
 * Speedy deletion nomination of Uniform Land Use Review Procedure.
 * Not to mention the article was dressed in this style of insults and vulgarity you seem to have no problem with:


 * Who are you, admin #3? Did you check the deletion log to see if I was telling the truth?
 * Undelete my contributions. How hard is that?
 * "flagrant attacks on old-timers" referring to the common enemy like me who remembers CloudFlare making a name saving WP. Lol.
 * Yo, stop making me repeat my self, read my other fucking comments. I shouldn't have to waste hours typing the same playbook you all throw in my face so you and change it, have me classified in one of those intrawikis.
 * Louis Waweru Talk  06:48, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Louis, I've been an admin longer than your account has been active, so if we're going to get into a dick-swinging contest about account age, I'm going to win by several years. Let's be adults and not do that. I've read your comments, I understand that you're upset. What I'm communicating to you is that you need to express your upset in a mature and civil manner, not by making personal attacks and telling people to go fuck themselves. If you can't manage that, you will wind up getting blocked at some point. That's it. I'm not going to get into it with you further. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 07:00, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I did. Gave a solid week. I don't swing my dick with men, and I girls shorter than me. So I'm glad I don't have a 12" cock, congrats, you can have that one.
 * I remained civil and goal oriented. What have you achieved with your threats and harassment? Your efforts to reassure him that this is good. No problem, for me or him to see that you're tripping. Get off my cock...I wasn't dick swinging, I was correcting my typo: "flagrant attacks on old-timers." That's me!
 * For the nth time I am the victim, and I don't know what you are trying to protect. Why you propose the required changes, and when they are accepted I will happily comply.
 * But I don't break protocols.
 * If anything I show admins in which ways they are broken.
 * Please have a good night, I forgot how to sign in EDT.
 * Seriously, consider being the one to evenly distribute administrative threats. Sorry you feel this discussion was heated, but hey... that's part of the program. I learned a lot, you please do as well.

Test?
You made an edit to Uniform Land Use Review Procedure which you described as Content as PageType test. I am not sure what you were testing, but I removed the. If you need to test something, it is generally best to use your personal sandbox or, if the test really does need to be in a mainspace article, then please revert the test as quickly as possible. — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 20:25, 10 November 2021 (UTC)


 * It said the variable should be blank or Content, I thought this was more readable. Is it not a valid parameter? Louis Waweru Talk  00:42, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It said the variable should be ... what said that? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 12:32, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Reversion of your edit to 2022 Ecuadorian protests
Hello! Sorry I reverted your edit to the article, I understand that there are problems with it, but it's generally better to have a few tags and then discuss the problems on the article's talk page. Hope you have a good one! – DirkJandeGeer щи 12:46, 6 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Seconding this. The cleanup tags are not for writing a whole editorial/counterpoint at the top of the article either. Discuss lengthy concerns like that on talk pages. Sergecross73   msg me  13:37, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Right, thank you. I normally would use the talk page, and I knew it seemed like the wrong way to use the tool (first time) by the way the article looked, but reverting at that moment felt like I’d be making the page even worse off. I’ll be more careful with it if I use it again. 05:14, 7 July 2022 (UTC) Louis Waweru Talk  05:14, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Your signature and linter errors
Just a reminder that your signature contains obsolete font tags. They create Linter errors, and it is advised that you change your signature to  ASAP.

The purpose of this message is because Linter errors affect the way the page looks, and with a lot of errors, the page may render badly. To reduce Linter errors, please change your signature.

If the software doesn't accept my replacement signature, let me know, and if that's the case, unfortunately you may have to change it to something else. Sheep (talk) 02:21, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for that. I guess it is kind of a remnant from the myspace/xanga phase of the web. I’ll take care of it. Talk  05:22, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I see how much that expands now. Thank you for cleaning it up. Louis Waweru Talk  14:30, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I wound up just going with wiki-markup and a Unicode character. What do the errors mean for all of my old signatures? Will they need to be cleaned up everywhere? I didn't try any of the software yet, it's my first time reading about them. Thanks again, Talk⁄Louis Waweru 15:07, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Eventually the font tag properties will revert to their default values once browsers drop support for the font tags. They're obsolete in HTML5 and deprecated in HTML4 which is why they're marked as an obsolete HTML tag linter error. If you change to span tags, when browsers drop support for font tags, your sig would remain the same. Sheep  (talk) 15:47, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, that makes sense. I might go back now that I understand what the issues are and how the span tag has much more flexibility. Thanks for clearing that up, and for the new way to look at the span. Talk⁄Louis Waweru 16:37, 29 September 2022

Please find Consensus on page 2022 Peruvian self-coup attempt
You've made a number of recent proposed edits as well as a page move to 2022 Peruvian self-coup attempt that lack consensus on the talk page. Your edits may be correct and they may be incorrect but in order to find that it's necessary to work on the talk page with other editors such as myself to build consensus before unilaterally redoing the page. I would also like to warn you against edit warring. Pages regarding current events in South America have many different view points, we work hard on the talk pages to bring all the Reliable Sources together to best convey the information that we can. Please join us on the talk page to find consensus. Alcibiades979 (talk) 06:54, 21 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Introducing uncontroversial facts that are citing reliable sources do not require consensus. The discussion on using "self-coup" on the talk page doesn't show consensus, and only shows that no one has found any source using the term. Talk⁄Louis Waweru 07:08, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Edit War
Your recent editing history at 2022 Peruvian self-coup attempt 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; read about 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.Please take your disagreement to talk before engaging in mass reversions. Alcibiades979 (talk) 07:15, 21 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm reporting you for edit warring here. Alcibiades979 (talk) 07:25, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * My edits aren't controversial, the move makes sense given the discussion, and your interactions with me were extreme actions like this instead of any response to my comments or argument against my sourced additions. Also, I've never seen the Socialist Workers Party (UK) article, nor am I interested. Talk⁄Louis Waweru 07:32, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

December 2022
 You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (2022 Peruvian self-coup attempt) for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. 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:.
