Query about an edit

Regarding this edit here, if you object to the inclusion of that material in the lead, is there any way you might be able to replace it with something else that still "rounds off" the lead like that did? Even if inaccurate and undue weight as you say, it still lent some structure to the lead. Anyway, that's all from me, Cheerio and happy editing! 🙂 Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 05:05, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Australo-Melanesian. 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:

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 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. Rsk6400 (talk) 06:09, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm The Banner. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Gaels, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. The Banner talk 23:46, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Your recent Bold edit was Reverted. Per BRD, it's time for us to Discuss this on the talk page. Please don't edit war by reinstating the edit. Let's see if a consensus can form to keep it or an alternate version. Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:01, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

A user who is vandalizing pages and partaking in trolling behaviour is reverting valid sourced edits. You should provide a warning to their page as well. 69.156.38.113 (talk) 00:19, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

If that is your understanding of BRD, please read it again. You were Bold, they Reverted so the next step is that you Discuss to reach a consensus. Do not reinstate your edits unless and until. Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:32, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

They reverted edits from valid sources. It is incumbent upon them to discuss as well. My edits at Shetland dialect were in place for a fair amount of time until "the Banner" decided to be bold and remove them. I reverted that edit. It is now incumbent upon them to properly discuss and explain themselves. Either give the warning to them as well, or you are showing evidence of bias and/or incompetence. 69.156.38.113 (talk) 01:32, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Your edits appear to be unsourced and there is no place for unsourced material on Wikipedia, whether it has been there for "a fair amount of time" (if a few days can be termed so) or not. If you are claiming that your edits are reliant on existing sources, explain that at the talk page; it's not evident from your edits. And, per below, stop slinging out the insults as that's hardly going to make collaboration easier. Mutt Lunker (talk) 09:09, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm The Banner. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Scots language that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. The Banner talk 08:46, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Shetland dialect. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. The Banner talk 18:30, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Book of Numbers shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. tgeorgescu (talk) 00:19, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Request for Unblock

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

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

---

Request reason:

I am NOT "Sprayitchyo", and NEVER never have been. I did have another Wikipedia account, but that and those associated with it was not one of them. Look at the edits of that "Sprayitchyo" and all the claimed "socks" of it. Can you not see how different the edits and editors are? They are not one person, and some of them (like me) have no connection to that. None. I created new accounts a few times because you DO NOT ALLOW ME ANY WAY TO PROVE MY INNOCENCE and EXPLAIN WHY I WAS WRONGFULLY BLOCKED FROM THE START. I HAVE NO AFFILIATION TO "SPRAYITCHYO". I have admitted in the past already for mistakes I did make once or twice, years ago, about a 3RR violation. I apologized repeatedly. I have made the promise to follow Wikipedia policy and not edit war, but to resolve issues on talk pages. I admit places where I made mistakes, but not me or any of the accounts I did create in the past were EVER connected to "Spraytichyo" and numerous other associated socks of that. How can I explain this to you directly? I have tried contacting Wikipedia in several ways over the past two or three years. I never hear anything back. You seem to not care about wrongfully blocking people, and so you are at odds with your original core mission that "anyone can edit Wikipedia". This is really not fair. I'm not sure if you care about justice, fairness and freedom of speech, but if you do, you would allow people like me to properly demonstrate why I have been wrongfully associated with sock accounts, instead of allowing me to be blocked by a small partisan mob of ideologically opposed editors who do not care at all about me being blocked based on false or inaccurate accusations. This has had a very negative impact on my life. All I ask is that you please help me and give me a chance to actually explain, for once, why I am innocent with regards to many of the sock accusations, and to show I can edit properly. How do I directly contact upper level Wikipedia administrators? 69.156.38.113 (talk) 01:22, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Are your other accounts blocked? If not, log in and you may edit Wikipedia. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Unblock Ticket Request System. But you should know that I could foresee that you get blocked, given the way you behave I would say it was unavoidable. tgeorgescu (talk) 02:02, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

I tried the ticket request system. It never worked and no one ever got back to me. Editors have prevented me from ever properly resolving this issue to explain how this mess all started. There were one or two accounts blocked previously, because it all began with a false assertion that it was connected to "Sprayitchyo" and related socks. Thus, what should have been say 1 month or at most 3 month blocks for one time of, I admit, edit warring that violated 3RR, was turned into permanent blocking and shadow banning of any time I ever edit. To be honest, this has been extremely frustrating and, you must understand how hard it is when countless hours of work and discussion have been ruined because of this false accusation of guilt by association. I have tried all avenues I can to explain how it was all down to an inaccurate association with other socks and horrible accounts like "Spraytichyo" who I never had any association with. I also repeatedly made clear my apologies for any past behaviour or mistakes that I always had admitted to I was responsible for. But the constant "sock evasions" accusation all stems from this original false accusation. I am simply fed up because there are a lot of articles I was editing with extremely reputable, scholarly content that are now in the form of terrible, biased or outright inaccurate formats. I am not even referring to the articles that you and I disagreed upon. Those could have been fairly easily resolved. Unblock request didn't work. Ticket request system did not work (never received an email back despite numerous queries). I need a direct discussion with upper level administrators. 69.156.38.113 (talk) 02:29, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
