Reverting my edits
Looks like you reverted my edits here with no explanation. Was there a reason for that, or was it an accident? --McGeddon (talk) 14:28, 2 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi. If you're going to revert my edits without discussing them or even explaining why, after being asked, I'll have to assume that it's either unintentional or vandalism, and revert it back. Please use an WP:EDITSUMMARY, at the very least. Thanks. --McGeddon (talk) 14:38, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

You can check the page's history to see what edits other people have made, and the reasons they gave for them. Which parts do you think "repeat" and "make no sense"? --McGeddon (talk) 15:08, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Conflict of interest check
Given that the article has had conflict of interest issues in the past, can I ask if you have any personal or professional connection to Mccreedy? --McGeddon (talk) 07:58, 3 June 2014 (UTC)


 * If you've been "tasked to factually update the wikipedia pages of prominant South African artists", why are you not editing any other articles?
 * I removed the painting resale sentence by mistake when cleaning up the article, I've added it back in the relevant section. I cut "He is internationally renowned and is reportedly the highest priced artist under the age of 30 to date." because the first half of the sentence is what Wikipedia calls a WP:PEACOCK phrase, and the latter didn't seem to be supported by either of the sources given. --McGeddon (talk) 08:23, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Given that the issues on the article have included McCreedy apparently not being "GQ South Africa's best dressed man of 2012" as claimed, and "the highest priced artist under the age of 30" having no source to back it up, I think we're better off starting from the current version than yesterday's. By all means update the article to correct it or provide sources for material that I have removed, or raise any disagreements on the talk page.

You can click the "history" tab to see what has actually been changed - I haven't been reverting all of your additions, the line about an art dealer refusing a resale offer is still there. Remember that Wikipedia is edited collaboratively. --McGeddon (talk) 09:48, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive behaviour. Your behaviour is verging on harassment. Wikipedia prides itself on providing a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing edits potentially compromise that safe environment. If you continue behaving like this, you may be blocked from editing. ''You have previously been both warned and blocked for harassing User:McGeddon, but still persist, making mass-reverts of edits by them today. So stop, or you will undoubtedly be blocked again.''
