You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Are you able to explain why your deletions were regarded as a non-neutral point of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:B00A:6600:4582:2CF8:FE47:D5AB (talk) 14:52, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 17:23, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

John McTernan

Please read WP:BLP, particularly the sections linked to by WP:BLPREMOVE and WP:BLPSPS. Your edit looks like an attack on the subject. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 17:10, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Says who? You? Much as I enjoy you following me around on Wikipedia attempting to undo every single entry I make, your opinion is not justified by either facts or consensus. Anna Lertreader (talk) 17:18, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Stop inserting an attack section into a BLP. If you continue to do this I will have to file a report at WP:ANI and/or WP:3RR. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 13:49, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There was a discussion. Your viewpoint was not successful. There was no consensus. Your opinion is not worth more than anyone else's and the section does not breach anything in WP:BLP. Deal with it.Anna Lertreader (talk) 13:51, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 14:02, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Scottish independence

Hi. The normal process for disputed content is to conclude discussions and consensus first, before re-adding the content (if that is what consensus establishes). You don't edit war to keep the addition in until discussion concludes. Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 17:56, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. But this one user contests *every single* edit I make, without justification (all have passed after discussions end) and my view is that it's simply an attempted war of attrition. Anna Lertreader (talk) 18:00, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, see Wikipedia:Edit warring. You broke the 3RR. Keep this in mind next time. Antiochus the Great (talk) 18:17, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So did they. How does that work? Anna Lertreader (talk) 18:32, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

August 2016

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring and violations of WP:BLP. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

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. Black Kite (talk) 14:11, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have extended your block fro a further week for your IP edits on the article that you were originally blocked for. Black Kite (talk) 13:26, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For what? What's an "IP edit"? Anna Lertreader (talk) 02:15, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

John McTernan again

Clearly the blocks you received last time you tried to insert this material did not have the desired result; to persuade you to desist. If you insert the material again, I will block you again for a longer period of time. Black Kite (talk) 12:03, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk. You have no justification for such actions.Anna Lertreader (talk) 12:11, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're wrong, and I have explained why at the talk page. Black Kite (talk) 12:13, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ANI

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Black Kite (talk) 10:51, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked for 1 week for disruptive editing and edit warring. The last time you were blocked, you evaded that block using your IP. If that happens again, you will be blocked for longer. When the block lifts, that is not permission to start edit warring again. If you go right back to your old behavior, citing unreliable sources to violate BLP, and edit war to keep those violations in an article, you will find yourself blocked again, possibly permanently. It may be best for you to drop this subject entirely. Someguy1221 (talk) 10:57, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That allegation is absolutely untrue. What's your evidence? Anna Lertreader (talk) 12:40, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would say this and this is pretty conclusive. Plus the admins have all the tools necessary to link accounts together and to IP addresses. When it comes to biographies of living persons, the rules about reliable referencing are imposed very strictly indeed (see WP:BLP). --Elektrik Fanne 13:27, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that two different people reverted the same entry? That's your proof? I haven't the remotest clue who the other IP belongs to. It's also absurdly fatuous to call the latest edit "edit warring". After weeks of discussion I put forward a radically different version of the entry that was supported by other editors, only to be instantly banned for it. The hysterical determination to protect the reputation of John McTernan from accuracy is bewildering. Anna Lertreader (talk) 17:01, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

January 2024

In an edit summary you said "Kindly identify on the Talk page any grounds for undoing these edits as NPOV" and you are right. The editors reverting your obvious vandalism, which seems to be motivated by an extreme personal grudge against Wadhwa, should have posted a warning here. I was a few seconds too late to be the one to revert your first spree but I did get your third one so here is the message you requested:

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Mridul Wadhwa. Wikipedia is not the place to pursue personal grudges against the subjects of articles. Also, you are edit warring which is separate grounds for a block if it continues. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:12, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your hilariously aggressive bias is entirely unjustified. All my edits are properly sourced and in fact correct NPOV assertions in the article. Anna Lertreader (talk) 23:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:22, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:24, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My original block was based on my review of your edits to the article. After reviewing the talk page discussion it became obvious the disruption was more significant. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:26, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing. Adding a link to someone's election results or asking for a source is "disruptive" :D :D :D :D Anna Lertreader (talk) 23:34, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Anna Lertreader (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

This block is hilariously ridiculous. I made a series of proper, factual and fully cited edits, correcting a massively NPOV article full of basic errors and unsupported factual assertions, and have been subjected instantly to a deluge of abuse and reversions without discussion or justification. My attempt to calmly and rationally discuss the edits was not only locked but *deleted*. It is apparently "disruptive" to add a link to a candidate's election results, or to request a source for a contentious and defamatory claim. Anna Lertreader (talk) 23:28, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I'm glad you are amused. I'm not amused. Your attack was unacceptable. At a minimum, you will not be unblocked to participate in gender related topics, as it seems unlikely you can set aside your personal bias against trans human beings, so you will need to tell us what edits you will make instead. The sockpuppetry doesn't help, either. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 09:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

How gullible do you think that we are? You personally attacked a well respected editor based solely on your personal bias against her gender identity yet your unblock request does not even acknowledge that this is the main reason for your block. How could you possibly expect anything other than an indefinite block for that? You are not the victim here. We have to protect our editors from abuse and your block was entirely necessary to achieve that. Had you not been blocked for that then you would have been blocked for edit warring. Had you not been blocked for that then you would possibly have been blocked for your extreme POV edits. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:38, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and also the obvious sockpuppetry here is not helping your case. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:46, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Goodness me, I see the transactivists are out in force and reason is impossible. I'll leave you to it. Anna Lertreader (talk) 19:11, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
