Please stop making disruptive edits. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.  Acroterion   (talk)   00:57, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * If you falsely accuse anybody else of vandalism, you will be blocked. I've protected the article you've been reverting so you can make your case on the talkpage in lieu of blocking you for edit-warring and bad-faith accusations. For the time being the article is at status quo ante. Please make a case for why the version you propose documents a notable organization - i.e., why the parent company meets Wikipedia's standards for notable companies, rather than redirecting to the radio station per standard practice for non-notable parent companies.  Acroterion   (talk)   01:00, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Please read
I guess you haven't seen this: Please read our assume good faith guideline. While I don't see why the article is being turned into a redirect, it better to use talk pages to communicate rather than edit summaries.

Also, please read WP:NOTVAND. Constantly leveling incorrect accusations of vandalism is not something you want to do here. --Neil N  talk to me 01:00, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at K288FP. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. ''Please discuss your changes on article talk page. Do not continue edit warring or you will be blocked.  ‖ Ebyabe talk - Repel All Boarders''  ‖ 17:06, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to I Want to Know What Love Is. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 03:13, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce jokes into articles, as you did at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Change_(Taylor_Swift_song)&diff=prev&oldid=788730896, you may be blocked from editing. Wikipedia is a serious encyclopedia, and contributions of this type are considered vandalism. Kellymoat (talk) 04:26, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia's policies relating to music genres
Hi, RugratsFan2003. While I understand (on a very personal level) how frustrating it is when another editor refuses to justify, explain, or otherwise have a constructive conversation about their editing, responses like this: achieve nothing other than raising the risk of administrator action against you. To answer your question on the other editor's talk page, in order to ascribe a particular genre to a song/album/artist, that song/album/artist should be described as belonging to that genre in verifiable, reliable published sources. This article contains more information: and links to relevant policies.

If you would like any other help or advice, feel free to post on my talk page. Cheers, Cjhard (talk) 06:28, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Your block is set to expire on its own in a very short time; please take careful notice of the warnings you have been given. As far as becoming an administrator is concerned, note that currently most editors expect to see at least 5000 manual edits created over at least a year of activity. Some editors would say more edits over a longer period. the edits in question should be spread over the various areas of the project, including not only article space and talk space, but also WP:CSD, WP:AfD, WP:RFA and perhaps WP:AIV. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:40, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for contributing to the article List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, December 2017. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable, by being clearly attributed to reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). Thanks! P.S. If you need any help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you. --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:57, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Nickelodeon Movies. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:50, 10 March 2018 (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.
 * From this point on, take it to the talk page. We have one source about the untitled film. Not enough.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 17:41, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * And also, this type of warning is unacceptable. Work with other users rather than trying to 'win' an edit war.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 17:44, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit-warring and other disruptive editing. 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:. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:56, 12 March 2018 (UTC)


 * 1) "Accuse" you of edit-warring?.
 * 2) You "tried to prevent edit warring by posting a message on the talk page and warning the users who reverted [your] edits on their talk pages"? Do you think that repeatedly making the same revert doesn't count as edit warring as long as you have warned other editors not to do the same thing????? The way to prevent edit warring is to not edit war, it is not to continue edit warring and tell everyone else not to do so. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 08:51, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * 3) You say that you "just trying to do what [you] believed was right". You may not have noticed that the warning on edit-warring that I posted above says, in bold print, "Do not edit war even if you believe you are right". Wikipedia's policy on edit warring is, basically, "don't edit war", not "don't edit war unless you are convinced that you are right". Indeed, it would be completely meaningless to have an edit warring policy which exempted any editor who was convinced that he or she was right, as in most edit wars everybody involved thinks they are right. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 08:51, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * To add onto this, your user page says you will fight anyone who doesn't follow our policies. You should never get to the point of fighting at all; that's not how any website works. During this block period you need to take a good look at our policies and understand exactly why you've run into these blocks in the past. I reverted because you're holding firm to this one questionable source saying 'what we know' rather than 'this is definite'. We need more than that, and the confusion it's created with the SpongeBob III film's release date means if it's unclear, we don't run with that source.

Disambiguation link notification for November 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Country Airplay, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nobody's Home ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Country_Airplay check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Country_Airplay?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:19, 10 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that! I meant to point it to Nobody's Home (Clint Black song)! I just fixed it! RugratsFan2003 (talk) 19:57, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

"Capaigning" about succession boxes
I'm addressing this on your own talk page, since I see that this behavioral issue has spread to multiple to other pages, including Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Record charts, and my own talk page.

Please note the following: If you plan to continue sporadically (or more frequently) editing here, I strongly suggest a read of WP:HOTHEADS, which has good advice for staying out of administrative trouble when you get a bit emotional about something on Wikipedia. See also the law of triviality: minor peccadilloes like this are not worth getting emotional about, and doing so gets in the way of the important work. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  13:59, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Labeling the result of an RfC that didn't go your way to be "vandalism", as you did here, is considered blanket incivility and battlegrounding against everyone who doesn't agree with you. If it continues, you're liable to be blocked for WP:Disruptive editing.  Same goes for campaigning against a unanimously decided RfC simply because you don't like the result.
 * Declaring "I will not rest until I get exactly what I want", as you have done here and here, is an unmistakable declaration that you are going to engage in tendentious editing. If you do this again, or actually do engage in such behavior, a WP:Topic ban is likely, or perhaps simply an indefinite block, on grounds of lack of collaborative-editing competence, and not really being here to work on an encyclopedia.
 * Whether you, individually and personally, knew of an RfC and participated in it is irrelevant. Wikipedia has about 30,000 editors per month, and consensus discussions are resolved by whoever from among that pool does bother to show up. No particular, specific person's input is required or is going to "carry the day".  Wikipedia is not a place to try to "right a great wrong" or otherwise engage in activism-style behavior,  not about trivial internal matters like which templates are used on which pages.
 * Also, WP:RfCs are not votes. Consensus discussions are determined by the policy weight of the arguments presented, and your WP:ILIKEIT-style arguments would not have carried any weight, nor would your uncivil pronouncements like "I have no idea who in their right mind would think that removing them is a good idea.",  Labeling other editors as if they suffer mental problems is another type of personal attack which can get you blocked or banned.
 * PS: I see above that you were previously blocked for tendentious edit-warring on the basis of you feeling you had a "moral right" (your own words), and that you've been warned repeatedly against battlegrounding and declarations of intent to engage in battlegrounding .  If it happens again, a long-term block is actually quite likely. If this went to WP:ANI right now, that's what the outcome would be already probably be.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  14:12, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for telling me that this would get me blocked. I'm trying not get blocked, but it's really hard not to. Is there any way that I can try to get succession boxes back without getting blocked? RugratsFan2003 (talk) 00:39, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:RFC is the process you want. The short version: Open a neutrally-worded discussion about it, perhaps at WP:VPPOL (our broadest venue for airing proposals and questions that may affect a large number of articles). "Lobbying" or "fight" wording will not go over well.  Try something simple and specific, e.g. "Should record-chart succession boxes be re-implemented as a navigation method at song and album articles?", on a line by itself. Linking right under it to the previous discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Record charts would be advised. And it's okay to say something like "It's not clear whether the earlier discussion had broad enough input", without casting aspersions at other editors.  Try to think of WP's ongoings as like a business meeting or an academic conference, not a 4Chan debate board. :-)  Include a calm, invective-free rationale for why you want to use succession boxes for this purpose. Better yet, put your rationale in your own "* Yes, because ...." comment after the simple question. Then no one can complain that the RfC itself isn't neutrally worded.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:39, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I might do this someday. I will admit that I did get too emotional about this. RugratsFan2003 (talk) 03:16, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
