Final warning - sourcing and notability
Look, I’m sympathetic that Wikipedia rules can be complicated and hard to learn. But I don’t feel you’re making any effort at all. Your edits are unsourced, unless you’re reviving articles with a consensus against having an article.

If you promise to take the time to learn how Wikipedia works, we’re fine. But any more unsourced content, unsourced articles being created, or reviving old articles that have been deleted/merged due to a consensus that they weren’t notable, and your account will be blocked.

Some important reading for you
 * WP:V -explains that all content you add to Wikipedia MUST have a source.
 * WP:RS - explains what a usable source is.
 * WP:REFB - explains how to add sources
 * WP:GNG - explains when it it appropriate for something to have its own article.

Until you understand the basics, I don’t recommend you create any more articles. Sergecross73  msg me  04:17, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize you had this final warning already when I reverted you again at the console generation article. Wikipedia isn't for your opinions on topics or what you think "probably" is the case. Provide rationales for removing content that is based in the policies above, such as giving proof that 3DO belongs in some other generation. If you continue, you'll be blocked. -- ferret (talk) 17:16, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

why should 3DO should be in other consoles
from what I can tell, 3DO isn't really 3D, it sorta blurred the difference between movies and games, instead of displaying 3D, it displays FMV (full motion video) although CD Rom add ons and Philips CDI basically do the same thing, It even went out of its way to insult Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis calling them "Baby Toys" even though most people owned them and not many people owned a 3DO so it came and went and now is just a curious piece of history. 3Do was pretty rare and didn't sell very well

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 months for persistently making disruptive edits. 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:. -- ferret (talk) 23:14, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * This is the user who sometimes edits logged out as 73.93.54.201. I've matched this block to the IP block you placed. Please feel free to adjust either block as you see fit without consulting me. -- ferret (talk) 23:14, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh! Thank you very much, looks reasonable to me ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:14, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

April 2021
I feel like you've been warned multiple times on talk pages, but just to confirm here with a final warning. Please read WP:NOTAFORUM. Wikipedia talk pages are not for random personal thoughts or personal questions. They are having discussions related to editing and making changes to the article. If you violate NOTAFORUM anymore, your account will be blocked for this as well. Thanks. Sergecross73  msg me  18:15, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

IMDb and reliable sources
In regards to, the IMDb is not a reliable source. It's even listed as a canonical example of an unreliable source in Reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:12, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

then what about peoplepill?--Rowbro (talk) 21:35, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

and yet I ask, What is required to edit here?Rowbro (talk) 22:25, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. 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:. -- ferret (talk) 16:26, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

You really, really don't want to go with that unblock request. Really. Take it down. Step away, review our policies and guidelines, and look for an edit you could make if unblocked. Then, file an unblock request, describe the specific edit you'd make and give the exact source you'd use. Making unblock requests like the above are all but guaranteed to count against you, as it's obviously pointless. In no way does it demonstrate you are even aware of WP:RS, for example, let alone that you fully understand that policy. --Yamla (talk) 15:30, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

here it is https://segaretro.org/images/f/fe/AnnualReport1998_English.pdfRowbro (talk) 15:33, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You seem to be indicating you lack sufficient competence to edit here. Is that what you are saying?!? Frankly, I'm not sure Wikipedia is the place for you at the moment. Maybe in a few years. --Yamla (talk) 15:35, 12 May 2021 (UTC)


 * For appeal reviewers, note that I've also blocked the user's static IP for 2 years as they frequently edit logged out. -- ferret (talk) 15:44, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think it matters here because of the clear CIR issue, but just to clarify, I blocked the user and their IP at the same time. Active evasion did not occur during this block. -- ferret (talk) 17:36, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

All I am trying to do is aplologizeRowbro (talk) 15:47, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
 * We understand that. But it takes more than an apology. You need to demonstrate you can handle editing. You really haven't yet. I had similar concerns about your WP:NOTAFORUM violations. I almost blocked you for that. You didn't seem to ever show any understanding towards that either, you simply got blocked for something else first. Sergecross73   msg me  20:28, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

I could perfectly handle that. I will try to give more details if I find them. I am all about giving more detail, but at the same time, trying to make the reader understand what he/she is reading, I know this is not a storybook, this is an online encyclopedia, so I need to spread more facts than opinions.Rowbro (talk) 19:51, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are perfectly capable of handling that, demonstrate it! We've asked you to demonstrate this over and over again. Either you aren't listening or you aren't capable. So far, we've seen a claim that you can cite the correct month of the Saturn's discontinuation based on a Sega magazine, even though the link you provided was not a Sega magazine and didn't cite the information. Nor, for that matter, did you even tell us what month you thought was correct. Frankly, this is going absolutely nowhere. I strongly oppose any unblock here, and won't be responding further. --Yamla (talk) 19:56, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Seconded. Sergecross73   msg me  03:09, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

The date I now know is correct for the Saturn's discontinuation is, March 31st, 1998. But before, I thought it was October 1998, cause That was one month before the Dreamcast was released in JapanRowbro (talk) 03:43, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * This is not correct, nor are we interested in your speculations. Perhaps come back in a few years, once you are better able to understand what's required to edit here. --Yamla (talk) 10:57, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

and yet I ask, what is required to edit here?
 * Competence and an ability to understand and follow the policies and guidelines. --Yamla (talk) 11:14, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

alright, at least I'll try to do that, I promise deeply.Rowbro (talk) 17:41, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * As we keep saying, anyone can say that, but we need you to prove that you understand. Again, please, from your talk page, demonstrate a valid edit you would make, and present the source that would support it. You still haven't been able to do that successfully. I'd also like you to paraphrase WP:NOTAFORUM too, as I still haven't seen you say anything that demonstrates that you understand what it means and how you keep violating it. Sergecross73   msg me  00:58, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Damn, now If I had to make a valid edit. I would try to create new pages for characters. I would point out some stuff that was never pointed out before on Wikipedia. I would for the least mention the mentionable. make sure there are more pages than what we have right now. Rowbro (talk) 03:34, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I asked you to do two things, and you didn't do either. This is precisely why we are saying you are not ready to be editing Wikipedia. This is why your account will remain blocked.  Sergecross73   msg me  10:55, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

I'm trying my best to demonstrate. Rowbro (talk) 00:06, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * We know. And that's why we keep saying you're not ready to be editing Wikipedia yet, because you're trying your best but still failing to demonstrate that you understand what it takes to edit Wikipedia the right way. You're not ready. You need to find a new hobby for now, and come back in a few years and try again or something. Sergecross73   msg me  13:34, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
