User talk:What's up now

September 2017
Hello, I'm Ebyabe. An edit that you recently made to Artie Resnick seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! ‖ Ebyabe talk - Border Town  ‖ 17:17, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Tracy Scott. 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. Thank you. ‖ Ebyabe talk - Opposites Attract  ‖ 17:21, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * 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 notice boards.
 * 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 your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Kenny Young, you may be blocked from editing. ‖ Ebyabe talk - Repel All Boarders  ‖ 17:24, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Btw, most of your edits have been reverted. Please stop while you are behind. -- ‖ Ebyabe talk - Repel All Boarders  ‖ 17:27, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at David S. Lewis. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Ahunt (talk) 23:09, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Serial commas are not always appropriate or required
Please read our guideline at MOS:SERIAL It says: "A serial comma (also known as an Oxford comma or a Harvard comma) is a comma used immediately before a conjunction (and or or, sometimes nor) in a list of three or more items: the phrase ham, chips, and eggs includes a serial comma, while ham, chips and eggs omits it. Editors may use either convention so long as each article is internally consistent; however, there are times when the serial comma can create or prevent confusion."

In other words: 1. They aren't always needed.

2. If they are, they need to be used consistently in the article.

I particularly hope you are making sure their use is consistent. Doug Weller talk 12:50, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

W. E. B. Du Bois
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at W. E. B. Du Bois. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 20:19, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

September 2017
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on W. E. B. Du Bois. 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. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:24, 30 September 2017 (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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add defamatory content, as you did at Bobby Scott (musician), you may be blocked from editing. ‖ Ebyabe talk - General Health  ‖ 22:25, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Ebyabe. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Kenny Wayne Shepherd, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! ‖ Ebyabe talk - State of the Union  ‖ 22:32, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Tracy Scott, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. ‖ Ebyabe talk - Repel All Boarders  ‖ 22:33, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Tim Story. ‖ Ebyabe talk - Repel All Boarders  ‖ 00:37, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
