Stereotypes of white people
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I have a few concerns about your recent changes to Stereotypes of white people. I've started a discussion about them at Talk:Stereotypes of white people. I'd appreciate your input. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:20, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Transcription/Pronunciation
Hello, Ms. Black Gold.

I'm currently working at a series of articles about Chicago in the Russian Wikipedia. I need to be sure about correct pronunciation of a word wacker in the title 311 South Wacker Drive. The Russian variant sb gave in the ruwiki coincides with the pronunciation of walker which I bet is incorrect. Is there any way to know it for sure? It'd be nice to know this is no exception to the common rule. Thanks --Ingvar-fed (talk) 09:14, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

You-know-which-article
Hi,

There is a discussion about your edits here []. Please feel free to provide some input on what the future sshape of the article should be. BillMasen (talk) 20:38, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


 * did you read the above discussion? Your edits are not admissible, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. BillMasen (talk) 09:34, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Seriously...
Have you read a single line of the discussions about this? Find reliable sources, or your contributions don't stay in the article! It's that simple. And no-one is committing "vandalism".

I reverted back to the sourced version. Prove me wrong and find reliable sources to back up your claims, and keep the article on topic. BillMasen (talk) 07:35, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit war
I give up. I've reported the dispute on the edit war noticeboard. BillMasen (talk) 14:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Blocked
 You have been blocked for edit-warring on Stereotypes of white people. To contest this block, please reply here on your talk page by adding the text along with the reason you believe the block is unjustified, or email the blocking administrator. For alternative methods to appeal, see Appealing a block. --  tariq abjotu  15:34, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way... I don't know what the dispute on this article is about nor do I care what it's about, but it is very clear that your positions are contested by a number of editors. You should take this block as further confirmation that your repeated reverts to this article (and this seems to be a pattern that extends back before July) are disruptive and unacceptable, and, as such, will lead to another, longer block if you continue them after this one expries. --  tariq abjotu  15:40, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Continued warring at Stereotypes of white people
You continued reverting right after your last block expired. You're being discussed by administrators here: WP:AN3. Please reply to that complaint and offer to stop edit warring on this article. Otherwise, you may be blocked for a longer time, possibly a week or more. Wikipedia is a group effort, not a solo project. EdJohnston (talk) 13:29, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Blocked again
Pursuant to a report at WP:AN3, I have blocked your account for one week. If you continue to revert to your preferred version of the article, you will be blocked for increasingly long periods of time. --B (talk) 16:08, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Colorado
The year 2011 has brought many changes to the State of Colorado. We have a new Governor and other state officers, two new U.S. Representatives, many new state legislators, and a new Mayor of Denver. WikiProject Colorado is updating many Colorado articles. Many Colorado places, people, and organizations need new articles. Portal:Colorado needs new featured articles.

Can you help us? Please see our list of some requested articles. If you wish, you may join WikiProject Colorado at WikiProject Colorado/Members. If you have any questions, please leave me a message at User talk:Buaidh or e-mail me at Special:EmailUser/Buaidh. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Don't forget the Wikipedia 10th Anniversary event in Boulder tomorrow. Yours aye, Buaidh  23:26, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

February 2011
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:46, 10 February 2011 (UTC) 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.


 * You were blocked for edit-warring on 7 July 2010 for 24 hours for edit-warring on Stereotypes of white people. Your first action after that block was to continue the edit-warring, whereupon you were blocked for a week and advised that continuing on that path would result in longer blocks. After several months of inactivity, you returned to do precisely the same thing, edit warring over the reversion of your change.


 * Since it seems you have no interest in conforming to community standards, but instead to push through your preferred version without any regard for the consensus process, your account has been indefinitely blocked. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:52, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
