Two things

Firstly, I do not understand why you reverted my change on Citizen's arrest? I have now further explained on the talk page that that power no longer has effect. Secondly, can I assume your redirect of Campus Police to Special police was a mistake, seeing as Campus police exists? Cheers! ninety:one (reply on my talk) 19:59, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Star Chamber Wallasey Merseyside.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Star Chamber Wallasey Merseyside.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:02, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Star Chamber Wallasey Merseyside.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Star Chamber Wallasey Merseyside.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:52, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm TheEpTic.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Speedy deletion nomination of Department M

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Department M requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Power of a Constable

Hello @Leopheard: I noticed your new article, Power of a Constable, but I noticed that there weren't any references. If you could, could you add some in please, I would but I don't know that much about the subject. And also, just reading the article, I (personally) thought that it was confusing and lacked in context. But then again, that's just my opinion. If you could, could you just add a bit more information to it? Thanks! Seagull123 Φ 21:38, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Power of a Constable for deletion

Thanks for creating Examples of Net Neutrality violations, Leopheard!

I've redirected it to Net neutrality in the United States#Violations where examples are already there. You can add the examples you have there instead. (the stuff you added is viewable here. If the section gets to large it can be split back out.

Speedy deletion nomination of Examples of Net Neutrality violations

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Examples of Net Neutrality violations requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. --Animalparty! (talk) 16:13, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this deletion is contested, I will immediately nominate it for deletion at WP:AfD.

Leopheard added the exact same material to Net neutrality in the United States, and I deleted it.[1]

Net neutrality became a law on February 26, 2015, and was repealed on December 14, 2017.

You can't "violate" a law that hasn't been written yet.

The "Verizon blocks mobile-tethering apps" ref is from 2012. It also concerns the FCCs C Block rules, not Net Neutrality

The "Verizon blocks pro-life campaign messages" ref is from 2007, and involved cell phone text messages, not the Internet.

The "ISP Madison River blocking VOIP service Vonage" ref is from 2005, and involves a violation of the Communications Act of 1934, not net neutrality.

The "Comcast blocking P2P applications like BitTorrent" ref is from 2008, involved a violation of the Communications Act of 1934, not net neutrality, and was overturned on appeal. See Comcast Corp. v. FCC

The "AT&T blocking Apple's Facetime on mobile devices" ref is from 2012, and the FCC did not find a violation. See https://transition.fcc.gov/cgb/oiac/Mobile-Broadband-FaceTime.pdf

The ""Peering dispute' between Netflix and Comcast, TWC, AT&T and Verizon" ref is particular misleading. The actual ref says "You mean that Order where they have a lengthy discussion about CDNs and all this other crap and explain why issues involving CDNs and interconnection are NOT covered in the Network Neutrality Rule they adopted because network neutrality is not about "treating all bits equally" or some other dumb ass reductio ad absurdum? And wasn’t that reasoning totally affirmed by the D.C. Circuit in Verizon v. FCC as supported by the evidence and rational and all?" So in this case the ref (which, BTW is simply an editorial opinion) opines that the peering dispute was not a violation. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:44, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

December 2017

Your recent editing history at Net neutrality in the United States shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Guy Macon (talk) 02:54, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It appears you are reverting anything violation related on the Net neutrality page, even when the FCC themselves have found this to be a violation. Maybe you're not actually reading the text, but either way, please stop it leopheard (talk) 13:26, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve List of scrypt crypto currencies

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Leopheard, thanks for creating List of scrypt crypto currencies!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add your sources.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Sources and communication

Can you please respond to the above message? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 20:06, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Wikipedia is being more and more influenced by zealots who think they're right, one-sided discussions for deletion and pages marked and deleted all within 10 minutes by Wikinazis. I've added references to these pages but some zealot keeps deleting it. I used to care about putting out accurate information out there, but Wikipedia is going backwards.

I hadn't realised that. When I looked it up, the editor has explained clearly why these were removed. WP:V is at the very heart of this project. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 21:31, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:Chrissymad. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Primefac (talk) 17:09, 1 March 2018 (UTC)\[reply]

Calling people out for being overzealous and self-important isn't an attack, it's calling out the damage they're doing to Wikipedia leopheard (talk) 17:14, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's one thing to question why someone makes an edit (or series of edits). It's quite another to call someone a Nazi. Wikipedia is a collaborative project; if you cannot interact with others without calling them names we will be happy to show you the door. Primefac (talk) 17:23, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I never called anyone a nazi, I called them a WIKINAZI. Totally different thing. And the collaborative side of Wikipedia is long gone. It's being vandalised by zealots with their own personal agendas. It's a shame because it was a really good resource post-2010 or so leopheard (talk) 22:45, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That’s some seriously weak wiki-lawyering there. Unless and until you can convince an administrator that edits like this aren’t something we should expect from you, blindly reverting someone because you have labeled them a “zealot” and are clearly stalking their edits (and in the process restoring outright vandalsim) you are going to remain blocked. I’d focus on rationally addressing the reasons for the block rather than making lame excuses like this if you want to continue to be able to edit your talk page at all. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:52, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You miss the point. I'm done with Wikipedia, I tried to improve articles but you just meet zealots at every turn. 100% block me if you want, I can just stalk the zealots from an unregistered account and keep changing my IP leopheard (talk) 23:01, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are contradicting yourself. You say you are done while at the same time saying you plan to engage in block evasion in order to harass other users. If you’re done, fine, be done. It happens all the time, but please don’t become a bad-faith troll, we’ve got quite enough of those already, and all it will get you is more blocks, so what’s the point? Beeblebrox (talk) 03:07, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Emirates of the United Arab Emirates, you may be blocked from editing. General Ization ^Talk 04:28, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

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 ~~~~}}. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:23, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
