This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Chbarts (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I would like to be unblocked. I use Tor, so I expect to be blocked when logged out, but I think blocking me when I am logged in is unreasonable and not justified by any of my actions. Blocking all logged-out (probable) Tor-users is reasonable, blocking certain logged-in users is reasonable, but blocking all logged-in (probable) Tor-users is not reasonable.

Decline reason:

I don't see a direct block on this account in your block log, and can't tell if your assumption that it is related to your use of Tor is correct or if you've just been caught in an autoblock. You can try the strategies here and see if any of them is helpful in solving the problem you're experiencing. — FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 10:02, 13 August 2008 (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.

This is your only warning.
The next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Wasilla Assembly of God, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Jclemens (talk) 17:41, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given that you refuse to discuss any of this, I have a hard time taking you seriously. BLP isn't your personal whapping stick. chbarts (talk) 20:06, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Snobol

Recently you edited the article on SNOBOL. I have made a comment about this on the Snobol talk page; I am letting you know in case you may like to read it. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:53, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking concensus

On the SNOBOL page you deleted a statement you did not like, and wrote the edit summary "as per talk page, this is staying out until it is cited". This does not, on the face of it, read like an attempt to discuss the contents of the page, and try to reach concensus: it reads more like an announcement that you think you have the right to impose your opinion. I trust that this impression is wrong, and due to an unfortunate choice of words on your part. 217.158.132.35 (talk) 22:51, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove blanking from pages which are tagged as possible copyright violations, and do not refer to such blanking as vandalism. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:41, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Muhammad

If the disagreements are getting to you, step away from the discussion. Don`t treat it like a battleground, and don`t insult the other editors. Wily D 06:54, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I get that you're venting, but it's still a bad place to vent. Even if that person doesn't come back, other people see it, and it contributes to the whole atmosphere. The less hostile the atmosphere there is (especially over images), the better. Wily D 07:41, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

7/7 Ripple Effect

'the descriptor is in the citation'

A critic's insult for a documentary maker, does not belong in an article's opening for one of their works. Beingsshepherd (talk) 17:07, 27 April 2014 (UTC) beingsshepherd[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

You are violating WikiProject:Magic and WP:Attribution policy

You have been continually restoring unsourced, uncited methods in magic articles.

Please refer to the 'Rapid Action' policy of WikiProject:Magic, which states:

"Any edit lacking attribution may be removed, and the final burden of evidence lies with the editor wishing to add or retain the material."

"[T]his can be applied immediately and overrides the practice of tagging information as unsourced and then waiting for a period to see whether citations are subsequently provided."

"Only when a full citation can be provided can the method be added to the article."

Also refer to WP:Attribution, which states:

"Original research refers to material that is not attributable to a reliable, published source. This includes unpublished facts, arguments, ideas, statements, and neologisms; and any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material that appears to advance a position. Material added to articles must be directly and explicitly supported by the cited sources.

Note the difference between unsourced material and original research:

Unsourced material is material not yet attributed to a reliable source. It is unattributed but may be attributable. Original research is material that cannot be attributed to a reliable source. It is unattributable. The only way to demonstrate that material is not original research is to cite reliable sources that provide information directly related to the topic of the article, and to adhere to what those sources say."

Please stop restoring original research and violating these two policies. I would be happy to discuss this ad nauseum with you if you have any questions.

Disambiguation link notification for September 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Shining Victory, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sanitarium. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:00, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

February 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Blink element. 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. It seems that you have been edit-warring for, apparently, thirteen years straight to repeatedly remove examples from this article; despite presenting no consensus, policy, or evidence as a basis for doing so. Please stop doing this. jp×g 🗯️ 23:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
