  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Wildlife, you may be blocked from editing. Just STOP your link-spamming until the deletion discussion is concluded, and please take some notice of the explanations why your links are inappropriate. If your article survives, and you can make it applicable to the links you want to add, then you can still do that afterwards. But as it stands, your article is only about some conclusions drawn by one particular study by a Dr Meng, and as such is not applicable as a "See also" link from those other articles. If you carry on like this, you're likely to be blocked from editing before the AfD is even finished.

You need to provide offical wikipedia statement say I can not add links at this moment, otherwise its your personal opinion not wikipedia. And do you read reference at all? only one academic said so???? All from Dr Meng? Please do not disrupt the work of other editors. otherwise you are likely to be blocked (I just use your words here, I dont take it seriously, just like what you did)--Youdontownwiki (talk) 23:23, 26 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Look, the article is up for deletion discussion, yes? The !votes are currently heading towards delete/merge, yes? So there's a pretty good chance it will be deleted, yes? If it is, that means removing your links is just going to make more work for people if/when it comes to deletion - and there's no urgent need to the links to be added this week, is there? (Note that you adding links will not strengthen your case at AfD at all). So it's just plain common sense to hold off adding links until the AfD is complete, don't you think? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:18, 27 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
And I didn't say "only one academic said so" - what I'm saying is that all your article currently consists of is a few opening sentences and a list of stuff taken from Dr Meng. So if another article is referring to Dr Meng's conclusions, a link would be appropriate. But it really isn't a valid target for a "See also" link - just have a look around and see what kind of mature and high-quality articles "See also" sections link to, and note that they are generally pretty short lists to avoid overwhelming an article with links. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:22, 27 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Boing! said Zebedee. Do you know what you are doing is stopping the spread of up-to-dated important knowledge? This is the most annoying part. The debate is far from conclusive, there are lots of dispute within people commented if you are honest about the current development. and its wrong for you to judge the article from its first version. you still have this mentality. I can give you many examples of much crappy articles in Wikipedia than this one. You should not take this issue as a personal battle. You aim to win your pride at the price of the advancement of human knowledge. You have biased view to my article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisisaniceusername (talkcontribs) 10:41, 27 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Boing! said Zebedee. The links should have nothing to do with the article, but you used the case to accuse me for spaming on the debate page in the first place. This strength your debate on dfa by defaming me. This is not ethical. It was not spamming, its nothing more than disagreement in editing.

Edit warring sanction

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war at Animal protection. 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 would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

The full report of this case is at WP:AN3#User:Thisisaniceusername reported by 64.53.165.54 (talk) (Result: 48h). This block prevents you, the person, from editing Wikipedia for 48 hours under any account.

Request reason:

I have not causing damaging to wikipedia. I contributed. I was accused for unfounded issues by other editors. And before my reverts, I already tried to talk the issue in AFD page, but those editors don't read things carefully. Already one editor has confirmed and verified my article do not have the claimed issues such as reliability and copyrights, pls see animal protection's history, therefore I was just reverted destructive changes. And the article was changed back to earlier version. what I did just reverted unfounded charge. Also I have issue for block my previous account, I considered it was not a fair decision. I had this username youdontownwiki, You policy say people cannot use organization’s name, but wiki does not equal to Wikipedia, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki I had to create current username itsaniceusername in order to keep my contribution, I didn’t care this too much at the time so didn’t report, but I think it worth to mention it here.

Decline reason:

As you should have read WP:3RR and/or WP:EW by now, you would know that the only time you can violate 3 reverts is in cases of actual vandalism - not a content dispute. We work on WP:CONSENSUS, and it is a best practice to follow the bold, revert, discuss process to achieve consensus for your edits. As far as your other username, if you read the username policy, you will know that it is not only organization names that are invalid as usernames. Finally, if you read the guide to appealing blocks you will know that blaming others for your block is a case of WP:NOTTHEM. Current block is valid, and required to protect the article.

  Please stop. If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Animal protection, you may be blocked for vandalism. Please do not remove my comments from Talk pages - my comment is factual and is relevant to the final decision Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:30, 1 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikihounding#Wikihounding

'Posting another person's personal information is harassment, unless that person voluntarily had posted his or her own information, or links to such information, on Wikipedia. Personal information includes legal name, date of birth, identification numbers, home or workplace address, job title and work organisation, telephone number, email address, or other contact information, whether any such information is accurate or not. Posting such information about another editor is an unjustifiable and uninvited invasion of privacy and may place that editor at risk of harm outside of their activities on Wikipedia. This applies to the personal information of both editors and non-editors. It also applies in the case of an editor who has requested a change in username, but whose old identifying marks can still be found. Any edit that "outs" someone must be reverted promptly, followed by a request for Oversight to delete that edit from Wikipedia permanently.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_blanking 'Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. '

DO NOT REMOVE MY COMMENTS FROM THE DISCUSSION Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:40, 1 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Identifying the fact that multiple comments in the same discussion are from the same editor is not prohibited by the above policy - if you continue to try to hide the fact that you contributed to the same discussion with three different IDs, you could be seen as guilty of sockpuppetry - see WP:SPI Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:43, 1 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I am not going to review this request, since I have previously reviewed an unblock request, but I would like to point out two things:
  1. This policy, under the section "signs of disruptive editing," states: "resists moderation and/or requests for comment, continuing to edit in pursuit of a certain point despite an opposing consensus from impartial editors." By and large, rather than attempt to listen to arguments presented on the AFD, you continue to evade and battle around those issues, instead of addressing them. Also, removing comments that you don't like is against WP:TPO. Doing this once is not a huge deal, but you refused to listen to the feedback on your talk page informing you that this was not appropriate.
  2. Most policy exists to document the existing behavior of the community, not to alter it. If you are blocked for doing X, even though X is not explicitly against policy, and nobody is willing to unblock you, then X is effectively against policy, even though this is not documented anywhere.
I hope this sheds some light on your block. --Chris (talk) 15:19, 1 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

In short, I see no substantive support for the main content of this article. The issue is not so much that the sources are not suitable for use on Wikipedia, but with your inability to accept this, and your insistence that they are in fact suitable, despite many, many editors telling you the opposite. See WP:IDHT.
In short everyone can have their opinions on facts, but their opinions may not be neutral. --Thisisaniceusername (talk) 07:55, 2 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Note to Thisisaniceusername: You say "Thanks for letting me know in fact wikipedia is regulated by people's opinions not by written policies". Wikipedia is, in fact, regulated by neither opinions nor policies, it is regulated by consensus (click on the link to read all about it). Written policies reflect consensus, they don't dictate it, as Chris has been trying to explain. Interaction between Wikipedia editors is also guided by the assumption of good faith, and I think this whole sorry episode is down to you failing to do that when people offered critique of the article, and tried to offer some guidelines to you. If you had stopped and thought "These might just be decent people with lots of experience developing this encyclopedia, so they might mean well and might have some valid points", then we might have got somewhere constructively. But instead your reaction was to assume you were the victim of personal attacks and come out fighting, and that's usually the route downhill. Anyway, I'm only saying all this because I'm hoping there might still be a constructively way forward once your block is lifted. If you wish to play a part in building this excellent resource, you really will have to change your attitude to other editors, and engage in the civil collegiate culture that exists here - but if you can only live by rigidly following hard and fast rules and throwing rule books around whenever there is a disagreement, rather than taking each consensus as it comes, you really might not be suited to this endeavour. Only you can decide. Best regards -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:36, 2 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the information--Thisisaniceusername (talk) 08:46, 2 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
but I disagree to some of your comments in the paragraph such as, 'failing to do that when people offered critique of the article, and tried to offer some guidelines to you' and we have not ' got somewhere constructively '. there are wilder, silent ordinances of the episode (Internet) who will give their opinions on the issues in their ways. Also, you should really be the one to pay attention to civil issues. All pages have the detail of you accusing my good faith editing as spamming and Vandalism for so many times. Wikipedia community is part of the world community, there are consensus on issues among all humans. There are outside values need to be respected.--Thisisaniceusername (talk) 09:41, 2 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
You posted dozens of inappropriate links to the new article all over the place, and when asked to stop doing it by several people and having had the reasons explained to you, you simply ignored us and carried on - several times. It certainly looked like blatant POV-pushing, and I think most people would not see the word "spamming" as being out of place. And if you might be able to technically avoid the "vandalism" label (which I will accept), your editing has certainly been disruptive and tendentious. I maintain that if you had adopted a more constructive and less combative attitude and not taken the "I'm right and everyone else is wrong" approach whenever anyone disagreed with you, we really wouldn't have reached this current state. So I really would exhort you to listen to what people are saying here and try to be cooperative - as an example, it really shouldn't have taken three reversions, three warnings, and a block to get you to stop removing other people's comments from the AfD. So, how about we try to move forward more positively? I'll accept that everything you have tried to do has been in good faith (though, I think, a lot of it has been misguided), and you accept that community consensus is the way we operate here and you agree to listen to what other people say and avoid getting into edit/revert/repeat wars?

Request reason:

First block is for prevent people who would damage the wikipedia, there is no evidence I damaged, or going to damage wikipedia, I am just trying to write an article about animal protection at this moment.
