October 2016

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Tyson Fury, you may be blocked from editing. Your nonsensical edit summaries regarding the IBO are not constructive at all. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 02:55, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Gennady Golovkin, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 13:24, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

November 2016

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Gennady Golovkin. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:16, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Anthony Mundine, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 13:43, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits about the IBO

Hello. I'm an administrator on Wikipedia. In November 2016, a complaint was filed against about your editing. You seemed to miss that discussion, and asked about it in a followup discussion at the Administrators' noticeboard. Both times your edits were discussed, people had trouble understanding why you were making them. You said that you have extensive expertise with boxing, and Wikipedia could really use that. However, the problem is that Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and it works through consensus. This means that we sometimes need to find a compromise with editors who have different opinions and experiences on a topic, such as the International Boxing Organization. You seem to dislike this organization and have been removing mention of it. Other editors don't understand why you're doing this, and they have asked Wikipedia's administrators to intervene. The best way to resolve this issue is to post your concerns to an article's talk page. There, you can hopefully convince the other editors of your views and find a consensus. If you continue to remove content without discussing it, I'll have to revoke your editing privileges. This is what I would consider a poor solution, and I don't want things to end like that. So, please, use the article talk pages instead of removing information about the IBO. Let me know if I can help you somehow, and I'll do what I can. Wikipedia has a lot of arcane and bureaucratic rules, and I know they can be confusing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:29, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at WP:ANI regarding your continued edits at Gennady Golovkin. The thread is "User:JohnWilkinson (re-opening case)". Thank you. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:01, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning

Regarding: IBO reference OUT. Boxing "gone to Hell" because of their ilk. I draw the line after the WBO. That means we include only WBO WBC IBF & WBA - it's not up to you to unilaterally decide what is and is not included in articles. Work towards a consensus through talk page discussion. Any more edits coming from unilateral pronouncements and you'll be blocked. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 20:53, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
