July 2018

Hello, I'm PaleoNeonate. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Electronic harassment have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. —PaleoNeonate – 23:24, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Parapsychology. 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. —PaleoNeonate – 23:24, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Bold-revert-discuss

Please see WP:BRD. Once your edits are contested, instead of edit warring (also see WP:3rr) you should attempt to form consensus for your change on the relevant article's talk page. Thanks, —PaleoNeonate – 23:27, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Adding: since the Electronic Harassment article is on pending protection I'll let the edit stand for another editor to review it. It cannot be viewed by unregistered accounts unless it is accepted by someone with the necessary rights. —PaleoNeonate – 23:31, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

I reviewed it and rejected the edit. 425mike, please explain why we should remove the link to Tin foil hat from our Electronic harassment article. Simply saying "I don't like it" is not a valid reason for removal. --Guy Macon (talk) 23:40, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

I've created a talk page in regards to the edit. I'd like to hear your thoughts on why this link should be included. 425mike (talk) 00:04, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Electronic harassment shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 your 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. --Guy Macon (talk) 23:40, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding pseudoscience and fringe science, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:425mike reported by User:Guy Macon (Result: ). Thank you.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

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 ~~~~}}.

Based on sockpuppet behavior, now indefinite. Acroterion (talk) 03:43, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
