User talk:Boomerbuzz

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Warning

Hi. I'm an administrator here. Please start a discussion at Talk:Kappa Alpha Order about the changes you wish to make. If you just revert again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You cannot force changes at Wikipedia. That doesn't work. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:14, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

November 2018

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus.

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 ~~~~}}.

I will be happy to unblock you if you wish to use the article talk page. I know you want changes to the article, and that is the only way, as you have now figured out. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:21, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

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

Request reason:

new to this and was trying to fix complete inaccuracy.

Accept reason:

Per discussion below. User agrees to use talk page and avoid article until consensus is reached. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:52, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. But you were warned again and again, and asked to use the talk page. Instead, you just reverted again and again.

If unblocked, will you use the talk page and wait for/until consensus? Do you promise not to touch the article until things are worked out at the talk page? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:37, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. How do you even know when a consensus is reached?

You start a discussion, say what changes you want, and ask other for approval or even say "any objection". If no objections after a few days, then make the change. Easy. If others turn up and object, then no consensus. Then, drop the matter or compromise. So, sound like a good plan? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:47, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Understood.

You are unblocked. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:52, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well done with the post at article talk. Please be patient and tolerate a version of the article that you do not prefer for a few days. It may take a few days for others to comment at article talk. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:01, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A quick tip about signing your posts

:Me too.

::So, we both like bunnies?

:::Yep. Looks that way.

::::Pretty stupid conversaton.

Final warning

Please read the paragraph above that starts with "You start a discussion..." and ends with "...a good plan?"

At Wikipedia, if you wish to change the last stable version of the article, you need consensus.

If you restore the content at that article without consensus again, you may be blocked indefinitely without further notice. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:26, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was working on the talk page and edits were made by another use without a consensus in the same thread on the talk page, but not directly related to the discussion. What gives someone else the right to make changes without consensus but not me?Boomerbuzz (talk) 23:24, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Working on the talk page? Doug Weller made the edit 19:33, 19 November 2018. You said nothing for 2 days. No objection. No request for him to revert. You could have not reverted and written on the talk page "What gives someone else the right to make changes without consensus but not me?" Instead, you just restored your version.

And it is not about what give others the right, it is about what gives you no right. You are the one who edit warred, ignored warnings, and got blocked.

Use the talk page.

Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:39, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He made no comment relevant to the thread that I started. I've used the talk page. He made edits without using the talk page. Am I supposed to revert his edits? Do I need to report him for making edits without consensus?

Yes, he did comment relevant to the thread that you started: Talk:Kappa_Alpha Order#Irrelevant Paragraph Removal.

No, you didn't, beyond "The paragraph below has no relation to the page and should be removed."

No.

Report what you want. Better is going to the talk page and discussing things with him there. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:01, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
