Note
[edit]Serge and I are watching Sega Saturn. While I appreciate your willingness to engage in civil discussion, there is no need to spam our talk pages every time you compose a reply.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 17:09, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I was going to point this out as well. Please see How watchlists work. If we're on Wikipedia, we see when pages are changed/altered. Sergecross73 msg me 17:27, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
April 2014
[edit]Please adhere to WP:BRD, and, once challenged, instead of continuing to re-add it to the article, discuss on the talk page, and only make the change if the consensus supports it. If there is no consensus, that means there is no change. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 19:46, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
- FYI, regardless of your issues with "Gonna", its considered extremely bad taste to take someone to the edit warring/3RR noticeboard when you've contributed an equal 3 reverts. At best, you probably wouldn't have gotten both of you blocked. Just commenting on the reverting, not whatever it is you guys are arguing about. Sergecross73 msg me 00:24, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- I like how there were 4 reverts but you said there were 3. When he reverted after my first post that counts as a revert. After that there were 3 more reverts separated by mine. But that's ok, I am sure that other thing will clear some things. TheRealAfroMan (talk) 00:27, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well, if that's what happened, it wasn't present in the examples you provided at the noticeboard. Also, as I said, when you're responsible for every counter-revert, you likely would have either gotten yourself blocked or ignored anyways. You can't be both a main participant and the reporter, its not how things work. Well, you can, but it won't go like how you'd want it to go... Sergecross73 msg me 01:44, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- You should be thanking Serge for his generosity; he could have easily blocked both of you. I have personally been blocked in the past for violating the spirit, albeit not the letter, of the 3RR as you two have done with your calculated use of three reverts each.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 02:03, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

- This is my final warning for you to adhere to WP:BRD. I warned you on April 2nd, you were caught reverting multiple times yesterday, and now I'm doing it again with your edits at Sonic Lost World. Stop reverting every time you disagree, and use the talk pages.
- Your addition to SLW is highly redundant. There's no reason to have the phrase "of the series" like that twice in the very same sentence. Sergecross73 msg me 23:25, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- None of that excuses ignoring BRD for the umpteenth time, especially on such a subjective subject such as "wording choice". Sergecross73 msg me 23:40, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- Do no remove comments from my talk page that others made, as you did in this edit. You are not to alter other editor's comments on talk pages. Sergecross73 msg me 00:16, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

[edit]You may want to go through the preferences tab (upper right hand corner) and adjust how the software shows things for you. Also I use Wikipedia:Twinkle though I don't know if that will be useful to you. RJFJR (talk) 05:09, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
Re: Lost Worlds
[edit]Why did you remove my comment from User talk:Sergecross73#Lost World? Because it said stuff about what you actually did. }IMr*|(60nna)I{ 23:58, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
Blocked
[edit]In the last 24 hours, I've had to warn you about edit warring, bogus/instigating edit warring reports, deleting other editors comments, and now, personal attacks to other users, right on my talk page. You're blocked for a week, while you re-evaluate what exactly it is you're doing here. I get the vibe you're here mostly to instigate. You'll be unblocked in a week, unless the Sockpuppet investigation reveals you are a block evading editor, in which you'll be indefinitely blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 00:52, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- AfroMan is definitely a "block evading editor".
}IMr*|(60nna)I{01:34, 10 April 2014 (UTC)- The SPI report came back, and confirmed you are Jak, so you're indefinitely blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 00:27, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
