Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Tim Russert. No source for diabetes. Please do not re-add without a reliable source. Tvoz/talk 19:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Response = Russert died before I posted my info; source of my info = Rick Sanchez, anchor of CNN, who reported on Sun. June 15, 2008 that Russert had diabetes.

Tim Russert

"According to Russert's personal physician, Dr. Michael Newman, Russert did not have diabetes". OK, I hadn't heard that Dr. Newman specifically denied that Russert had diabetes. So I didn't know it was controversial. Russert is not a living person in any event and I thought an anchor of CNN (Rick Sanchez) was a reliable source, especially when there are other sources that appear when one googles "Time Russert diabetes" and given the age and weight of Russert (two factors associated with development of diabetes) and the fact that he died of a heart attack, a type of death associated with diabetes.

Telling people to search google != a reliable source. Please discuss this on the talk page before adding it to the article again. --Onorem♠Dil 15:51, 18 June 2008 (UTC) I was relying on an anchor of CNN news (Rick Sanchez) and gave the date of his report. I just mentioned googling it in case someone thought a CNN anchor would be unreliable, which I thought would be unlikely.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Lee Harvey Oswald may have broken the syntax by modifying 4 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:48, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

March 2016

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on J. D. Tippit. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

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; 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. Acroterion (talk) 01:35, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

You've ben carrying on a slow-motion edit war to insert your preferred language. If this happens again, it may be referred to WP:AN3. Acroterion (talk) 01:36, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

May 2016

This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  Sandstein  20:14, 3 May 2016 (UTC) Bungalowbill430 (talk) 22:10, 3 May 2016 (UTC)from Sterling Harwood as Bungalowbill430: to be defamatory, there has to be a falsehood but you fail to identify any falsehood in what I wrote, since there is no falsehood in what I wrote. I did property source the fact, repeat fact, that the issue of association with Oswald was raised (I never said it was settled) by The National Enquirer. I believe it is still the current issue and is dated in May 2016, as I wrote. Donald Trump re-iterated the National Enquirer story just today and so it is an issue. The legal standards for defaming a political figure such as Rafael Cruz are extremely high, beyond just saying false things to maliciously saying them or saying them with reckless disregard for truth. But everything I said was true and was in any event neutral on the issue rather than making any malicious claim or claim with reckless disregard. I just said what issue was raised in the press but never said how that issue should be resolved.Bungalowbill430 (talk) 22:10, 3 May 2016 (UTC)Sterling Harwood as Bungalowbill430

National Enquirer is not a reliable source. We don't run tabloid headlines in an encyclopedia. We'll figure out how to cover the Cruz story if/when better sources start reporting it. Alsee (talk) 03:00, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

And we don't follow legal standards, but our own: WP:BLP. Read and follow it, or you won't do much more editing here.  Sandstein  05:28, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

BLP discretionary sanctions alert

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.

Please take the time to carefully and fully read through WP:BLP and WP:RS before you edit another biography. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:03, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
