[edit] Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Russia investigation origins counter-narrative. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:06, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- There was no personal point of view or commentary added to my edits. All of my edits were cited using mainstream media articles from reputable news sources with a neutral point of view. Before I made my edits, the page had a definite political lean which violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Gjonesagain (talk) 21:12, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Russia investigation origins counter-narrative, you may be blocked from editing. Andre🚐 00:28, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- My edits are 100% neutral and contain no personal commentary or analysis. The citations in my edits are from mainstream outlets such as CNN, Politico and Fox News. Your un-doing of my edits violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. This article currently contains heavy politically left leaning language. This article needs to have a neutral point of view of all facts. You may be blocked from editing if you continue to include political bias in the edits. Gjonesagain (talk) 00:40, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- Washington Examiner, New York Post and Fox News are not usable for politics in this way, you are introducing problematic material. Please refer to WP:RSP. Andre🚐 01:16, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm Andrevan. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Andre🚐 23:53, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Andrevan, thank you. I will re-submit with the correct info. Gjonesagain (talk) 23:59, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- If the edit is going to be removing a relevant section, I recommend that you do not. Andre🚐 00:00, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Andre🚐 00:29, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Russia investigation origins counter-narrative and the Mueller report, you may be blocked from editing.

A note in advance about extended-confirmed restrictions
[edit]Hi Gjonesagain,
just so you know, in case you intend(ed) to expand your editing in one of these areas: There are special restrictions for editing about the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Russo-Ukrainian War. In a nutshell: You are currently prohibited from editing about these topics because you have not yet made 500 edits to the English Wikipedia. Details can be found at WP:A/I/PIA and WP:GS/RUSUKR. Edits that violate the restrictions may be reverted, page creations that violate the restrictions may be deleted, and users who violate the restrictions may be blocked.
Perhaps you'd like to gain experience in less controversial topic areas first. Helpful ideas for doing so can be found at the Task Center and the community portal.
Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:45, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
Stop it
[edit]You keep trying this change, but it changes the meaning into a falsehood. Stop it. Mueller could not prove it beyond the shadow of a doubt. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:09, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- /* Stop it */ Reply You continue to let your own political bias influence what you write. I am removing the politically biased language you enter. If you had read my citations (which you didn't) you would have seen they were taken from left leaning news sources. The Mueller investigation's goal was to determine if the Trump campaign conspired/coordinated with Russia. The Mueller report concluded there was no evidence the Trump campaign did this. Therefore, the conclusion and "one sentence" summary is that the Mueller investigation found no coordination/conspiracy with Russia. After that sentence, is where the sentence about the Trump campaign welcoming Russian help goes. You are trying to suppress the main outcome of the investigations stated goal that the Trump campaign did not conspire with Russia. Gjonesagain (talk) 01:29, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit] Hello Gjonesagain! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Andre🚐 01:49, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
