Welcome, edit summaries edit

Hello, Don Bosco, and welcome to Wikipedia. Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:

  • Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
    • The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
  • Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric talk 15:00, 19 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

February 2021 edit

  Hello, I'm Flori4nK. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Michael Neary (bishop)—because it 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. - Flori4nK tc 15:40, 19 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, Primus Sanctus Don Bosco. I noticed that your recent edit to Michael Neary (bishop) added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you. – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 12:29, 20 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Hello- Your editing campaign across many church-related articles is introducing changes that should be discussed with other editors first. Many of your edits introduce awkward style changes and unnecessary terms to longstanding articles. You might consider seeking guidance here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Catholicism Eric talk 13:42, 20 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Dominique Lebrun, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Your edit at Dominique Lebrun and many other articles for Catholic prelates are contrary to the Manual of Style and to guidance at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Catholicism. – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 16:30, 20 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at António Ribeiro. – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 11:23, 21 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Westminster Cathedral. Eric talk 13:58, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

You are welcome. I am sorry but I am just beginner editor. Primus Sanctus (talk) 01:56, 27 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Attempt at slowing this editor's campaign edit

FYI, all, a post I made asking an admin for advice on getting the attention of this user: User_talk:Diannaa#new_user_on_campaign:_User:Primus_Sanctus_Don_Bosco. Eric talk 14:28, 21 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Eric, thanks for doing that. I realize that Primus may not be reading these given the technical limitations for mobile/unconfirmed users, but I also opened up a talk page discussion at Talk:Michel_Aupetit#Pre-nominals to discuss Primus' recent edits at Michel_Aupetit. At the very least this shows we are trying to communicate. Primus, if you are reading this, please communicate with your fellow editors. – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 14:50, 21 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Eric, it looks like Primus isn't seeing these messages or ignoring them as their disruptive editing continues. I think ANI may be warranted. What do you think? – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 13:37, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it might be the only way to get their attention. Eric talk 14:01, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Blocked edit

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for disruptive editing. 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 ~~~~}}.  — Kralizec! (talk) 14:17, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppet investigation edit

Eric, Kralizec, and Francis Schonken, I am trying to open an SPI at Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations/Primus Sanctus Don Bosco as this editor has reappeared as Primus Sanctus and is making the same edits at multiple Catholic cathedrals/churces and prelates. Perhaps one of you could approve the SPI edit request I submitted to help kick start it. – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 01:34, 27 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I commented there. Note: It's a good idea to inform the user concerned of the SPI request. Eric talk 03:18, 27 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
You appear to have created your alternative account to evade the 31-hour block noted above, and have then continued to use it after the block on this account expired. While there are legitimate reasons why one may have an alternative account, evading a block is not one of them. This is covered in more detail at WP:SOCK. I have indefinitely blocked your alternative account, and have blocked this one for one week. Instructions for how to appeal it, should you wish to do so, can be found at WP:GAB. If you attempt to evade this block again, your next one is likely to be indefinite. GirthSummit (blether) 11:14, 27 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
