Patrick Moore

edit

Hi. I reverted your addition to the Patrick Moore article because it lacked a reliable source, and included an opinion. A Wikipedia article shouldn't include commentary like "This Orwellian revision of history is deeply disturbing to defenders of free speech", especially not done in Wikipedia's voice. If you found a high-quality source that described it in this terms, you might be able to include it as an opinion expressed by (named person). Guettarda (talk) 12:39, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply


OK, I understand now. I will find proper sources and remove the opinion. Sorry about that. I am relatively new to Wikipedia and got a little frustrated. Npsaltos62 (talk) 15:55, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your recent editing history at Patrick Moore (consultant) 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 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 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Bradv🍁 15:15, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Greenpeace; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. Bradv🍁 15:30, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

OK, I understand now. I will find proper sources and remove the opinion. Sorry about that. I am relatively new to Wikipedia and got a little frustrated. Thanks. Npsaltos62 (talk) 16:01, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Npsaltos62, thank you. If you have a reliable source for the assertion that Greenpeace removed Moore from their website on a particular date, please present your evidence on the talk page of the article with what text you would like to add. The rest of your edit is original research, which is not appropriate for a Wikipedia article. Please feel free to ping me if you need help. Bradv🍁 16:03, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for violating the three revert rule on Greenpeace and attacking other editors on Patrick Moore (consultant). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
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 ~~~~}}.  Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:27, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I will unblock as soon as I get an agreement that you will not repeatedly revert other editors or call them names, and you agree that if you do this, you can be reblocked by any administrator. I realise you have apologised above, but I think I need assurances this won't happen again. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:27, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I agree. BTW, I did not realize that I was in an edit war with Senior Editors, I actually thought I was being punked by an individual. Once I checked my email and saw all of the comments from editors I realized my mistake. I promise you this will NEVER happen again. Npsaltos62 (talk) 17:17, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

For the record, there is no such thing as a "senior editor" - everybody is equal, and the only reason the other editors didn't get blocked is because none of them reverted enough times for sanctions to be applicable. Anyway, unblocked, with the proviso above. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:20, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

List of The Tonight Show Starring Steve Allen episodes (1954) moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, List of The Tonight Show Starring Steve Allen episodes (1954), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Selah Strong (soldier)

edit
 

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 Selah Strong (soldier) 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 real person or group of people that does not credibly 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 "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.
