Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Rube Goldberg machine. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. ''Stop adding this. I didn't remove it the first time just because you were using an IP. It does not belong in the article, let alone in the lead. Stop pushing that YouTube link. Either discuss it on the article's talk page per WP:BRD or leave it alone.''

 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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 noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:Timothy Dunlap. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Meters (talk) 03:25, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. CrazyBoy826 (talk) 03:53, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Did you actually look at the edits or just take someone's word for it? They were completely relevant and added a modern example of a Rube Goldberg Machine perfectly. Seriously did you even take a look? Timothy Dunlap (talk) 04:03, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

I don't just post stuff. You wiki guys need to come off your clicks and cliche high hours. Some people actually try to make things better Timothy Dunlap (talk) 04:05, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

man seriously you guys run in clicks and are seriously wrong. Have fun with this. At least I know the truth and have it documented. Peace out. I will be looking at how to submit complaints. Timothy Dunlap (talk) 04:13, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. 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:.

BTW I love how all the prior comments from the 2 I was arguing with disappeared so it only shows mine. I may be in the wrong, I dunno I am waiting on you're response after actually reviewing my original addition...but I definitely am not the only one wrong and you need to take a look at the others involved in this as well. Timothy Dunlap (talk) 16:25, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Daniel I am not here to disrupt. I have a bad habit of attacking back regardless if I am attacked. Its something I am working on. But I did make a relevant and modern and perfect example addition. It was to help, not be disruptive. Thats why I truly feel it wasn't looked at, it was just quickly glanced and assumed. If it was truly looked at you guys would see it was a video educating on a perfect, huge, and modern Rube Goldberg Machine. I am not here to be disruptive. I just wanted it truly looked at and a reason why. No the reason I was given didn't make any sense and only showed me that it wasn't truly looked at...just judged. This is wrong, you either vindicate or give a detailed reason on why so I can learn. The ones that initiated this may have been flying through things, but they got this wrong and refused to even look at it. So here I am telling you that I am not trying to be disruptive and stating that if its truly not acceptable than fine, but please explain why so I can learn from my mistake. It was again like I said a perfect example, not something that I was trying to promote, I honestly don't even like that guy very much...but it doesn't change the fact that from a scientific and a learning point of view that he made an amazing and modern Rube Goldberg Machine that people could easily identify with and learn from. I dont feel a indefinite block is necessary. I would like my original submission to be looked at and a reason of why so I can learn, and the ones that initiated this well I wasn't the only one in the wrong, but I do apologize for taking it as far as I did. Thanks. Timothy Dunlap (talk) 16:49, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok well I can't do nothing more than apologize and state everything that I did. It seems everyone is emotional right now. So I wish you all the best. I do know I wasn't completely right and that the others weren't completely wrong. But maybe for future reference for others you guys will realize that not everyone is coming here just to troll and cause chaos. Some people do have good intentions and don't know everything on Wikipedia and how it works as well as some of you guys. It may be better to actually look and realize this stuff and guide them in the correct direction so they can understand and learn. I wish everyone well, I wish everyone offended a true apology. Glad I could get some proper info to learn at least a little bit before being completely shunned by the Wikipedia community. Hope you guys take care of yourselves during this intense time. Timothy Dunlap (talk) 17:20, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Emotional?
No. I'm about as dispassionate about unblock requests as anyone can be. You need to rethink the discounting of the opinions of others as "emotional". Aside from the edit warring, you made personal attacks. You continue to make veiled personal attacks even now. As to the edit warring, please read User:Deepfriedokra/ew for my usual edit warring unblock decline. It contains information on how to handle content disputes. Please carry that information forward into your next unblock request. Much more troubling is your lack of civility. WP:CIVIL is one of the five pillars upon which the Wikipedia community is built. If you wish to be a member of that community, you will be careful to relate civility to how you went wrong and how you will behave going forward. You will cease to argue the "rightness" of your stance and your actions. You will refrain from attempting to shift blame. Thanks, -- Deep fried okra  User talk:Deepfriedokra 18:06, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for sharing this info. It's great info to apply in everything. Again sorry for offending you and acting the way I did. Timothy Dunlap (talk) 18:18, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
 * And where are these edits by other users that you claim ("I love how all the prior comments from the 2 I was arguing with disappeared so it only shows mine") have been removed? As far as I can see nothing has been removed but three personal attacks you made on this page, removed by me; a personal attack you made on Talk:Loyalist (American Revolution), removed by user:CrazyBoy826; a personal attack you made on my talk page, removed by CrazyBoy826; a post you made on my talk page that I removed, as I am allowed to, because I saw no point in further interaction with you; and a post you made to User talk:CrazyBoy826, removed by CrazyBoy82 as he is allowed to do.
 * I did look at the link, and I did explain why I removed it. The first time I simply said it was an external YouTube link, and the second time I told you that the link did not belong in the article, let alone in the lead. I also told you to discuss the material on the article's tlak page. There are likely thousands of similarly convoluted gizmos online. Why should we use this one, and why in the lead? Instead of discussing it you immediately chose to start making personal attacks, including following me to an unrelated article. This is on you. Meters (talk) 20:05, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Meters you're absolutely right. I apologize to you all. Hope you have a good weekend and sorry for everything. Timothy Dunlap (talk) 20:30, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Same for you Crazyboy826, I apologize to you all. There was no excuse for the way I acted. I truly do apologize to everyone. Thanks for your time and for everything, especially for setting me straight. Timothy Dunlap (talk) 20:32, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
