Welcome edit

Hello TheEmperorHasNoClothes12 and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to Deion Sanders, do not conform to our policies.

If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a Help desk, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

May 2022 edit

  Hi TheEmperorHasNoClothes12! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Deion Sanders several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Deion Sanders, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I have read the policy and believe my edits comply with the policy. My edit is specific to Deion Sander’s official height as recorded at the NFL combine when he was a rookie - the only official measurement of height taken in the NFL. Are you by chance the person who keeps changing the height back to 6”1? Would you care to discuss? TheEmperorHasNoClothes12 (talk) 02:46, 24 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

August 2022 edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Deion Sanders. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

  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 and 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. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:54, 2 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please refrain from making unsourced edits as you did on the page Deion Sanders. Stats are per NFL.com source cited in the infobox. Hunterb212 (talk) 03:30, 13 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at Deion Sanders. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
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 ~~~~}}.  Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 06:57, 9 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

You started this edit war over a year ago. You are still at it, and despite the prior block absolutely refuse to engage people in discussion about it except for a single post back in May of 2022. Since then you've attempted to force your version onto the article dozens of times, without success. Do you think that dozens of times +1 is somehow going to be the magic number that makes it stick? Or, do you think just maybe engaging in dispute resolution just might be a more productive path? What do you think? You've got a week to think about it. If you somehow think after this week long block that resuming the edit war is the pathway forward, the next block will be a lot longer. Please see this, which is already linked as a source on the article. The NFL says he is 6 ft 1 in. This edit war ends now. Either you can choose to comply or choose to be blocked for considerably longer. Your choice. --Hammersoft (talk) 02:02, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

The only objective source for Sander’s height the a the measurements taken at the NFL combine. Every team embellishes the height and weight of their players. The website “nflcombinereaults” is the only public sources for these actual measurements.

In every recent family photo of Deion Sanders he is slightly shorter than his son Shiloh Sanders who is listed at 6”0. So you tell me - did Sanders shrink? TheEmperorHasNoClothes12 (talk) 14:46, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Correction… “nflcombineresults.com”

  • So you tell me; do you think that yet another reversion is going to prove to everyone how right you are and the edit war will end, or do you think perhaps trying dispute resolution will work? It doesn't matter if you are 100000000000000000000% right and everyone else on Wikipedia is 100000000000000000000% wrong. Your edit warring over this for over a year is decidedly disruptive and must end. Either you end it or it will be ended for you. Your choice. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:54, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Ok, hammersoft… how about a section that lists or discusses the two different heights? The one taken at the combine, and the one listed by the NFL? TheEmperorHasNoClothes12 (talk) 17:40, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
