Welcome! edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 73.254.14.29, has made edits that do not conform to our policies and therefore have been reverted. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

You don't have to log in to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, your IP address is used to identify you.

Some good links for newcomers are:

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and a timestamp. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask the Help Desk, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Note edit

WP:BLPRS may be useful. I doubt that Alex's aims are to whitewash the article. If you find them, please propose better sources at the article's talk page to avoid edit warring (WP:BRD is a good guideline). WP:FOC is also useful: focus on content and do not attack other editors (WP:PA). Thanks, —PaleoNeonate – 18:04, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

There is ZERO reason to assume good faith when somebody really is whitewashing the page of an anti-vaccine, anti-GMO activist. "Good faith" is not wholesale deleting every edit that somebody else makes. 73.254.14.29 (talk) 06:49, 11 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

As I said at WP:BLPN, you need to cut out on the personal attacks and BLP violations or you should expect to be blocked. And yes, wholesale deleting all your edits is not only allowed, but in fact the correct thing to do when they are as bad as they have been. Please learn to provide reliable secondary sources and stop trying to use self-published or other unreliable sources in a BLP. It's your responsibility to provide reliable sources for any additions you want to make, and no one else's, especially in a BLP. Nil Einne (talk) 08:05, 11 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
