User talk:Yoerked

Hello, I'm Viewmont Viking. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, 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! -- VViking Talk Edits 14:04, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Section on Rhonda Lenton page
Hi there Yoerked. Here to help you, this is very important. You can't use the sources you have, because the website you are citing to does not meet the rule here of WP:RS. You will have to get a major newspaper to pick up the financial indiscretions. Then, you can cite to that, or what it says. Short of that, what you have isn't considered reliable. And citing to the actual primary sources (expense reports) doesn't help either, as Wikipedia requires third-party, news or academic sources.

If you continue just trying to force this through, you will likely end up blocked, and if you continue after that, the site will erect an editing limitation on the Lenton page, disallowing anyone from new accounts or IPs from editing the page. You don't want that. Buying earphones from an airport and expensing it is something worth looking at in terms of appropriateness, and the Ritz is never the cheapest hotel. But again, you aren't doing this properly.

It isn't like getting a new server to put back up your site. Wikipedia will track your IP addresses and shut down accounts as fast as you can make them if you are violating WP:SOCK, until the limitations on her page are so high that no one can edit but senior editors or admins. This is because, by not using proper sources, you are violating their rules against editing about living people.

So I sympathize with your cause, but you are not helping it by doing what you are doing on the Lenton page. Isingness (talk) 22:02, 21 March 2018 (UTC)


 * User:Yoerked Just an advanced warning, Wikipedia has a rule that states you cannot revert edits on one page more than three times in a 24 hour period. If you revert edits once more on the Lenton page within the current period, you will qualify to have your account blocked. Then you won't be able to post any further until after your block is up, as if you try to do so from a different account, you would be in violation of WP:SOCK and wind up permanently blocked. So you should likely be very careful to not repost the material unless you get a source that meets WP:RS. Isingness (talk) 05:14, 22 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Please stop reverting other editors, you are in violation of the 3RR. Can you also please explain your connection to the YOURKED website as your username at the very least shows you area affiliated. See our COI.-- VViking Talk Edits 15:28, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
