Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

  • Please stop adding those lengthy and mostly irrelevant notes about the Super Bowl. If your text doesn't mention the subject, and doesn't have proper sourcing, there's no point in adding them. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 15:21, 6 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Barkevious Mingo.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 15:23, 6 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

  Hello, I'm AntiCompositeNumber. I noticed that in this edit to The Irish Airborne, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 18:21, 24 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Billy Unger, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:14, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

How is this not a reliable source? Does it not come directly from him or his partner?98.6.21.229 (talk) 14:15, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
It came from him. He didn't state in his posting the information that you added to the article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:20, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Can the information coming from his partner count as reliable?98.6.21.229 (talk) 14:21, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

No, it has to come directly from him from a verified account and he must state the information clearly and directly so we don't need to make any sort of interpretation as to what he meant. See WP:ABOUTSELF and WP:PRIMARY. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:28, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

So, essentially, we have to eliminate any vagueness or ambiguity? I still don't understand why his partner's account is not reliable. 98.6.21.229 (talk) 14:38, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

The rules are explicit, it has to be directly from him and him alone. We can't use what a person say about someone else. If he makes a clear statement of facts about himself, we can use it. If he gives information on someone else, we can't use what he said in an article about that other person. Part of the reason is that if a person says something private about himself there is an implied understanding that the person is OK with other's knowing that info. We don't get that when a person gives private information about other people. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:54, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Is it really considered private information though?2600:1700:551:EED0:519D:56C5:A457:3B43 (talk) 23:42, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes. Otherwise it would be published in a reliable secondary source. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:46, 1 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

In regard 2003, your change of image size from 120px to 100px is against consensus, and the images still frequently fall into the next month. In addition, 2 of the first 5 birth/death additions I checked were clearly only of local notability; guidelines still require international notability. If you add entries a few at a time, I'll check each entry. If you add multiple entries, I'll drop all unless most are good. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:53, 16 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

This is a school IP

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 22:50, 26 November 2019 (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.
