May 2021[edit]

Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. At least one of your edits on the page Motörhead discography, while it may have been in good faith, was difficult to distinguish from vandalism. To help other editors understand the reason for the changes, you can use an edit summary for your contributions. You can also take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. MetalDiablo666 (talk) 13:49, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain your contributions using a descriptive edit summary. Changing information on Wikipedia (such as numbers and dates) without explanation, as you did at Motörhead, may be confused with vandalism. Thank you. MetalDiablo666 (talk) 20:45, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to engage in subtle vandalism by making unexplained changes to information, you may be blocked from editing. For the last time: STOP adding On Parole to the discography section. It is not a studio album. MetalDiablo666 (talk) 20:58, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Block converted, see below ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:21, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for edit warring.

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 below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:02, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

The block was made with the warnings at User talk:165.120.130.45 in mind, but I acknowledge your effort to obtain consensus and to enforce a consensus. Edit warring, however, isn't the way to continue in this matter; multiple users have expressed their disagreement by reverting your edits. This may be a case for the dispute resolution noticeboard, and to allow you to create a thread there, I'll convert your block to a partial one that only prevents further edit warring, but does not prevent further discussion. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:19, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
