User talk:Bubblynick

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Indo-European languages, have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. 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!

February 2022

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. Jeppiz (talk) 00:25, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, 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 noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Jingiby (talk) 12:34, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make unexplained changes to information on Wikipedia. Jeppiz (talk) 02:26, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 2022

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}. -- TNT (talk • she/her) 03:32, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Haploidavey. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Pluto (mythology), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Re-adding the same errors will not make those errors into facts. Please carefully read through articles, and make sure your intended changes are accurate and well-sourced before you make changes. Haploidavey (talk) 08:11, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bubblynick, I have reverted an addition to Celtic language decline in England for the same reason. TSventon (talk) 08:37, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Pluto (mythology), you may be blocked from editing. Haploidavey (talk) 09:45, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Pluto (mythology). Haploidavey (talk) 06:27, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May 2022

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Blackwater (company). Tarl N. (discuss) 00:29, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Slow edit warring is still edit warring

You’ve been reverted four times at Indigenous peoples of the Americas. I advise you to stop now if you don’t want to get blocked. Doug Weller talk 18:10, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May 2022

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Indigenous peoples of the Americas) for a period of 3 months for edit warring. 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 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 ~~~~}}. Doug Weller talk 11:56, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Native Americans in the United States has been added to the above. Slow edit warring is still edit warring. Doug Weller talk 07:10, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have extended the block to cover all articles, and also increased its length by a month. That is because you have continued exactly the kinds of disruptive editing which has previously led to blocks, including edit-warring (both using your account and without logging in) and persistent unexplained changes, including repeated removal of article content. If you continue in the same way after the current block is over there is a danger that you may be blocked from all editing indefinitely. JBW (talk) 13:38, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have never made any attempt whatever to explain your editing, whether by use of edit summaries or by talk page posts, and you have never responded to any message from another editor, nor shown any sign of taking notice of any message. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and willingness to collaborate and to communicate with other participants is essential, not optional. You are not blocked from editing talk pages, so even during the block you are able to start communicating, and if you edit again, either during or after the block, please always provide an edit summary briefly indicating what your edit is intended to achieve.

@JBW: he's continuing to sock using the IP 75.55.249.27 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). See the identical edits to Indo European languages. Hemiauchenia (talk) 16:26, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hemiauchenia I've blocked the IP for 3 days. Doug Weller talk 16:45, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, "Bubblynick", you've decided to continue your unconstructive editing by evading the block, which, as you presumably must have realised, means that the block has been made total, except for this talk page, and indefinite as far as time is concerned. It beats me why you prefer that to just deciding to edit in line with Wikipedia policies, but its your choice. Now that you are blocked indefinitely, by Wikipedia policy any edits you make, no matter how good or bad, may be reverted on sight. Articles you attack may be protected, if necessary indefinitely, to stop you editing them, and ranges of IP addresses you use may be blocked, but both of those actions are likely to cause inconvenience for legitimate editors, as well as you, so I hope you won't choose to continue to make those actions necessary.
You now have three options:

Continue to edits in ways which you know are contrary to Wikipedia policies, and which you know are likely to be reverted, so that you are unlikely to achieve anything,
Go away and find something else to spend your time on, instead of editing of Wikipedia, or
Decide that you are willing to join in editing Wikipedia in a accordance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and post an unblock request undertaking to do so.

I know which of those three options I think would be most constructive, but of course it's up to you whether you take that option. JBW (talk) 18:23, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
