You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at List of common misconceptions. CactusRoy🏴󠁣󠁡󠁱󠁣󠁿 (talk) 15:03, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

@CactusRoy: think I've been identified here by accident, I did justify the removal of material in the edit summary with reference to the talk page discussion (clearly a valid reason). Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 15:09, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

@Rollinginhisgrave: Well I don't know about that , because I am a new editor. And not only that, but I am from Quebec and French is my language. Some fool anglos on this site believe since then I am not competent. Looks like the block is resolved - I am not sure who is correct here , I saw in the recent changes log 20 000 bytes removed and wanted to get the bloque

Best luck CactusRoy🏴󠁣󠁡󠁱󠁣󠁿 (talk) 15:30, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Partial block

You have been blocked for one week from editing List of common misconceptions. Edit warring to remove swathes of content from the article and supporting it with formalistic wikilawyering on talk, such as, repeatedly, "Referred to in article as an urban legend rather than as common misconception", is pretty disruptive. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

ah sorry, my initial removal of content was me trying to be bold. When it was first reverted and discussed with WikiDan61, I understood his approval of my reasoning on several points (including the urban legend point) as grounds for reinstating; my only revert after this wasn't due to edit warring but because the editor above who reverted it and flagged it for a ban (see above) didn't seem to notice I justified my edits on the talk page and had made the revert by erroneous logic. I didn't see this as something that required consensus before editing; I do now. I don't think it was wikilawering on the urban legend issue, as since we already have a page for list of urban legends, and both pages feature large bloat, doubling up doesn't seem super desireable, although I will avoid editing the page for such issues unless a consensus is gained for their removal.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only as the block has expired. Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:08, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

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.

Comment There is no reason to appeal if you will 'avoid editing the page', as the block applies only to that page. CactusRoy🏴󠁣󠁡󠁱󠁣󠁿 (talk) 16:00, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

There are other edits I made which have been reverted not related to the urban legends point, including one on perfect pitch, where I noticed on the page for perfect pitch the cited 1/25 population figure refers to music students, not the general public; ironically the page for list of common misconceptions perpetuating misinformation.

August 2023

Hello! I'm Sundayclose. Your recent edit(s) to the page List of common misconceptions appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 11:30, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of common misconceptions, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The State Journal. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
