Please stop making disruptive edits.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Acroterion (talk) 00:57, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you falsely accuse anybody else of vandalism, you will be blocked. I've protected the article you've been reverting so you can make your case on the talkpage in lieu of blocking you for edit-warring and bad-faith accusations. For the time being the article is at status quo ante. Please make a case for why the version you propose documents a notable organization - i.e., why the parent company meets Wikipedia's standards for notable companies, rather than redirecting to the radio station per standard practice for non-notable parent companies. Acroterion (talk) 01:00, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please read

[edit]

I guess you haven't seen this: Please read our assume good faith guideline. While I don't see why the article is being turned into a redirect, it better to use talk pages to communicate rather than edit summaries.

Also, please read WP:NOTVAND. Constantly leveling incorrect accusations of vandalism is not something you want to do here. --NeilN talk to me 01:00, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at K288FP. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please discuss your changes on article talk page. Do not continue edit warring or you will be blocked.

Wikipedia's policies relating to music genres

[edit]

Hi, RugratsFan2003. While I understand (on a very personal level) how frustrating it is when another editor refuses to justify, explain, or otherwise have a constructive conversation about their editing, responses like this: [1] achieve nothing other than raising the risk of administrator action against you. To answer your question on the other editor's talk page, in order to ascribe a particular genre to a song/album/artist, that song/album/artist should be described as belonging to that genre in verifiable, reliable published sources. This article contains more information: [2] and links to relevant policies.

If you would like any other help or advice, feel free to post on my talk page. Cheers, Cjhard (talk) 06:28, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Decline reason:

Slow down. Look at this talk page. See the many, many warning notices from many different people? That means you are doing something seriously wrong. Simply agreeing you've done something wrong, without any indication that you actually understand what the problem is, is not productive. It's going to take more than 1 sentence. Please take the remaining time until this block expires to read the pages linked in your welcome message, and in the notes and warnings above, because I'm afraid if disruption happens again when the block expires, the next block will be indefinite. If there is another completely inadequate unblock request, I'll remove talk page access for the duration of the block, to prevent wasting other people's time.

Your block is set to expire on its own in a very short time; please take careful notice of the warnings you have been given. As far as becoming an administrator is concerned, note that currently most editors expect to see at least 5000 manual edits created over at least a year of activity. Some editors would say more edits over a longer period. the edits in question should be spread over the various areas of the project, including not only article space and talk space, but also WP:CSD, WP:AfD, WP:RFA and perhaps WP:AIV. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:40, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Thanks for contributing to the article List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, December 2017. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable, by being clearly attributed to reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). Thanks! P.S. If you need any help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you. --Jax 0677 (talk) 19:57, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nickelodeon Movies. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. 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; 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.

Request reason:

I had absolutely no intent to start an edit war. My edits were sourced using a website called Cartoon Brew. I don't believe that Cartoon Brew is a website that violates any of Wikipedia's rules. Since my edits were sourced, I was just trying to do what I believed was right. However, if you want me to add more sources, I know of some more. RangoLoudHouse1234 said that Nicktoons was a fake movie in the edit summary by saying that the Nickelodeon Wiki did not have the movie on their website. The Nickelodeon Wiki is a fan-edited website, which violates Wikipedia's rules. I can understand why you would accuse me of edit warring. However, I tried to prevent edit warring by posting a message on the talk page and warning the users who reverted my edits on their talk pages. I had absolutely no idea that the messages that I left on the talk pages were unacceptable. I was just warning the users of disruptive editing like the page said to. It didn't say what type of message I had to leave. If you could please unblock me, I will try my best to make everything right again. RugratsFan2003 (talk) 21:52, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

For the reasons explained below. Yamla (talk) 12:52, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

  1. "Accuse" you of edit-warring? [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] .
  2. You "tried to prevent edit warring by posting a message on the talk page and warning the users who reverted [your] edits on their talk pages"? Do you think that repeatedly making the same revert doesn't count as edit warring as long as you have warned other editors not to do the same thing????? The way to prevent edit warring is to not edit war, it is not to continue edit warring and tell everyone else not to do so. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 08:51, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  3. You say that you "just trying to do what [you] believed was right". You may not have noticed that the warning on edit-warring that I posted above says, in bold print, "Do not edit war even if you believe you are right". Wikipedia's policy on edit warring is, basically, "don't edit war", not "don't edit war unless you are convinced that you are right". Indeed, it would be completely meaningless to have an edit warring policy which exempted any editor who was convinced that he or she was right, as in most edit wars everybody involved thinks they are right. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 08:51, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
To add onto this, your user page says you will fight anyone who doesn't follow our policies. You should never get to the point of fighting at all; that's not how any website works. During this block period you need to take a good look at our policies and understand exactly why you've run into these blocks in the past. I reverted because you're holding firm to this one questionable source saying 'what we know' rather than 'this is definite'. We need more than that, and the confusion it's created with the SpongeBob III film's release date means if it's unclear, we don't run with that source.

Request reason:

I am pleading guilty to all accusations of edit warring and disruptive editing. I didn't know that warning users on their talk pages still made it edit warring. Now, I do, and I will never do it again. Also, by 'trying to do what I believed was right', I meant what I believed was morally right and not that I believed that I was right. Either way, it doesn't matter now, because I thought that my edits were morally right, but they weren't. From my 2 previous blocks, I learned that using sources is a good way to assume good faith. I thought that using sources would not get me in trouble in an edit war, but I was wrong. Also, I would like to apologize for saying that I will fight anyone who does not follow Wikipedia's policies. I didn't think about anyone having a problem with the word 'fight'. I should've used a better word choice. From this block, I have learned that there are no exceptions to Wikipedia's edit warring policies. So of you could please unblock me, I promise that I will end this edit war and take everything to the talk page, in addition to replacing the word 'fight' with 'report'. RugratsFan2003 (talk) 00:40, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You were clearly warned (on this page) not to edit war two days before the block, yet you continued. So, I can't trust you when you say that you didn't know you shouldn't edit war. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:07, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of McSkillet for deletion

[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article McSkillet is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/McSkillet until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Hirolovesswords (talk) 16:04, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Capaigning" about succession boxes

[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in the English Wikipedia Manual of Style and article titles policy. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

I'm addressing this on your own talk page, since I see that this behavioral issue has spread to multiple to other pages, including Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Record charts, and my own talk page.

Please note the following:

  • Labeling the result of an RfC that didn't go your way to be "vandalism", as you did here, is considered blanket incivility and battlegrounding against everyone who doesn't agree with you. If it continues, you're liable to be blocked for WP:Disruptive editing. Same goes for campaigning against a unanimously decided RfC simply because you don't like the result.
  • Declaring "I will not rest until I get exactly what I want", as you have done here and here, is an unmistakable declaration that you are going to engage in tendentious editing. If you do this again, or actually do engage in such behavior, a WP:Topic ban is likely, or perhaps simply an indefinite block, on grounds of lack of collaborative-editing competence, and not really being here to work on an encyclopedia.
  • Whether you, individually and personally, knew of an RfC and participated in it is irrelevant. Wikipedia has about 30,000 editors per month, and consensus discussions are resolved by whoever from among that pool does bother to show up. No particular, specific person's input is required or is going to "carry the day". Wikipedia is not a place to try to "right a great wrong" or otherwise engage in activism-style behavior, especially not about trivial internal matters like which templates are used on which pages.
  • Also, WP:RfCs are not votes. Consensus discussions are determined by the policy weight of the arguments presented, and your WP:ILIKEIT-style arguments would not have carried any weight, nor would your uncivil pronouncements like "I have no idea who in their right mind would think that removing them is a good idea." [11], [12] Labeling other editors as if they suffer mental problems is another type of personal attack which can get you blocked or banned.

If you plan to continue sporadically (or more frequently) editing here, I strongly suggest a read of WP:HOTHEADS, which has good advice for staying out of administrative trouble when you get a bit emotional about something on Wikipedia. See also the law of triviality: minor peccadilloes like this are not worth getting emotional about, and doing so gets in the way of the important work.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  13:59, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I see above that you were previously blocked for tendentious edit-warring on the basis of you feeling you had a "moral right" (your own words), and that you've been warned repeatedly against battlegrounding and declarations of intent to engage in battlegrounding [13] [14]. If it happens again, a long-term block is actually quite likely. If this went to WP:ANI right now, that's what the outcome would be already probably be.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  14:12, 25 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SMcCandlish: Thank you for telling me that this would get me blocked. I'm trying not get blocked, but it's really hard not to. Is there any way that I can try to get succession boxes back without getting blocked? RugratsFan2003 (talk) 00:39, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:RFC is the process you want. The short version: Open a neutrally-worded discussion about it, perhaps at WP:VPPOL (our broadest venue for airing proposals and questions that may affect a large number of articles). "Lobbying" or "fight" wording will not go over well. Try something simple and specific, e.g. "Should record-chart succession boxes be re-implemented as a navigation method at song and album articles?", on a line by itself. Linking right under it to the previous discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Record charts#RfC on whether succession boxes should appear in song and album articles would be advised. And it's okay to say something like "It's not clear whether the earlier discussion had broad enough input", without casting aspersions at other editors. Try to think of WP's ongoings as like a business meeting or an academic conference, not a 4Chan debate board. :-) Include a calm, invective-free rationale for why you want to use succession boxes for this purpose. Better yet, put your rationale in your own "* Yes, because ...." comment after the simple question. Then no one can complain that the RfC itself isn't neutrally worded.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  01:39, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SMcCandlish: Thank you. I might do this someday. I will admit that I did get too emotional about this. RugratsFan2003 (talk) 03:16, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
