Hi SadAttorney, due to a technical bug (see Village_pump_(technical)) your edit went wrong, and I fixed it. Sorry that one of your first edits didn't work as expected. I hope you will still like it here. Happy editing! – NJD-DE (talk) 18:49, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

That's nice; might you have just mentioned this on the talk page before defacing the article? See WP:FAOWN regarding courtesy (which is kinda common sense I think). Anyway, I will work on it. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  17:27, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * The policy that you're referring to and which I had no idea that it existed, doesn't mention templates, it only refers to significant changes to texts and images. Anyway, the one policy that I'm aware of is, WP:NOBITING. Have fun in your research!  SpaceEconomist192  10:36, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

I tagged all unsourced statement at the article for you to cite before the reviewer will review it and maybe quick fail it. 2001:4455:30B:6C00:10C0:A4A8:DAC8:9B11 (talk) 02:06, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks. I will fix it. SpaceEconomist192  10:36, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oki, best of luck. They already left comments, see Talk:Resplendent quetzal/GA1 everytime and ref 33 is probably unreliable source and a blog. 2001:4455:30B:6C00:698F:8BAD:D1C8:2F54 (talk) 10:08, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SLBedit. I noticed that you recently removed content from Derby de Lisboa without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. So, you decided to ignore reliable sources? SLBedit (talk) 18:50, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. SLBedit (talk) 19:00, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. SLBedit (talk) 21:19, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

June 2023
 You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Derby de Lisboa) for a period of 2 weeks 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 at the bottom of your talk page:. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:26, 17 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Another edit like this and you'll be blocked sitewide, not just partially. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 00:33, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * What's exactly wrong about the edit? Saying a user to watch clouds is considered an offense?! That's quite an overreaction. SpaceEconomist192  ✐
 * Saying In the meantime, I hope you go outside and watch some clouds as you desperately need is a personal attack and is completely unacceptable. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 00:39, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * That was merely a constructive suggestion, since the user in question has been extensively pushing its bias towards Sport Lisboa and Lisboa (SLB) and rival clubs articles and as a matter of fact as been warned multiple times in the past and even blocked. I do regret engaging with articles about such a low form of entertainment as is association football, they all deserve to be stubs; so I would appreciate if my block could be extended indefinitely regarding association football articles. Many thanks. SpaceEconomist192  ✐
 * Additionally after getting blocked for blatant edit warring, you then choose to go to the other editors page and blame them for getting both of you blocked. This shows a complete lack of self awareness. You got yourself blocked by edit warring, not the other editor. And considering the other edit warring you seem to be doing elsewhere I'm surprised it wasn't a site wide block. Canterbury Tail talk 12:11, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The edit warring was of uttermost necessity to prevent a WP:NPOV problem on the article. I was solely stating that the other user was the one who brought the admins attention but I never denied responsability of my block and I'm aware that I'm the reason for getting myself blocked so please refrain from WP:NPA or you might be the next one blocked. I'm not engaging in any kind of edit war anywhere else and that's just blatant defamation. SpaceEconomist192  ✐
 * Your edits on List of largest empires clearly show otherwise. Canterbury Tail talk 14:39, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm just having a civil discussion through the edit summaries with the other user; no edit war is in place. SpaceEconomist192  ✐
 * Please, a signature with a timestamp. Regarding edit summaries, once it is clear there is a dispute, avoid relying solely on edit summaries and discuss the matter on the associated talk page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:50, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * ...and speaking of talk pages, as you haven't commented at Talk:Derby de Lisboa yet, I assume you have lost the interest in that topic. That's perfectly fine, I'll just expect you to use the talk page before joining it again. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:53, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Regarding List of largest empires, I cannot engage in a more in-depth discussion about the sources since I no longer have access to The Wikipedia Library. I also do not wish to engage in any association football article since it's full of fanaticism; a couple of mere passages describing the derby as "the biggest" in some random football articles written by SLB fans is certainty not enough to prove such status, if none of the admins nor SLBedit can see that then I won't bother with it either. I already dig a hole for myself by responding to all these comments and now there's three admins on top of me; I'll resort to simply edit birds articles. SpaceEconomist192  ✐

Hi, just to let you know that while the IP on regional power might be in the wrong, you're currently past 3 reverts on that article. Per WP:3RR I advise you don't revert any further and wait for someone else to revert after the IP is blocked, otherwise you might inadvertently be blocked too. Take care. — Czello (music) 10:08, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Nonsensical block; the vandalism exemption on WP:3RRNO should be widened to include disruptive edits, doesn't make sense that a user gets blocked for reverting a clear troll. I'm reviewing a GA nomination, now I can't proceed with it... SpaceEconomist192  ✐  12:50, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The central point of the three-revert rule is to prevent this type of excuses. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:02, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Regarding the GA nomination or whatever you had been working on, the block is intentionally sitewide, yes. My usual approach is a partial block from editing the specific article as a clearly preventative measure. I rarely even mention the three-revert rule and just check if there has been edit warring or not. In this one specific exceptional case here, I have explicitly referred to the three-revert rule in the block description and chose a non-partial block because neither a two-week partial block nor a clear warning prevented you from continuing. If the only way to make this behavior stop is to prevent you from contributing entirely for a while, that's unfortunate but mostly alternative-less. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:07, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Administrators instead of protecting content creators who have a good record of complying with Wikipedia policies, no they hostilize and alienate them, that inevitably creates a feeling of resentment and surprise, surprise after so much estrangement they will escalate their actions; that's how you create long-term abusers.


 * A 2 week-block due to mere edit warring for a first time offense was a grand exaggeration, there were better course of actions that could be taken, like a warning or an attempt to resolve the content dispute through a third-party. Poor policymaking is at the heart of many blocks too, it was consensual that the IP was being disruptive in their edits. I'm not going to submit to stirrers like those, so you might want to extend my block. SpaceEconomist192  ✐  14:04, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

August 2023 Good Article Nominations Backlog Drive reminder
The August 2023 Good Article Nominations Backlog Drive is at the halfway mark, and has seen incredible progress, dropping the backlog from 638 to 359 unreviewed articles -- a 43.7% reduction in only fifteen days! But we still have over two weeks to go, and there are plenty of articles left to review:


 * We've gone from 14 nominations 270+ days old and 65 nominations 180+ days old to 2 and 0 respectively. No more articles will reach 270+ status during the drive, and only three more will reach 180+ if unreviewed, so this is your last chance to get the higher age bonuses!
 * We still have plenty of articles in the 90+ range, but the list is shrinking fast.
 * Some articles need new reviewers, either because they're officially on second opinion or because the original reviews were deleted or invalidated. You can help prevent these articles from waiting longer!
 * While there are starting to be clear favourites for the Content Review Medal of Merit, the field is still very open. A late entrant can still pull an upset to get the most reviews in the drive!

And remember: if you've done reviews, you should log them at the backlog drive page for points, so they can be tracked towards your awards at the end.

Thanks for signing up for the drive, and I hope to see you reviewing! <b style="color:black">Vaticidal</b><b style="color:#66023C">prophet</b> 02:01, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
