March 2009

Yashnv, welcome to Wikipedia. thank you for your recent addition to Preston University. Please be aware that when copying text from other sources you must properly cite the text as a quote. Otherwise that would be plagerism which is completely unacceptable and not allowed by Wikipedia policies. Thank you, TallMagic (talk) 18:20, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

April 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you., TallMagic (talk) 20:15, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Preston University ‎, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Orlady (talk) 17:34, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Preston University ‎, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Orlady (talk) 18:01, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 13:53, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Preston University. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Adding material such as you did is disruptive. You must have some source to cite when stating such facts. You did not. Such editing is likely to result in a block from editing Wikipedia. Please stop. S. Rich (talk) 10:57, 9 September 2012 (UTC) I apologize. The material was in the article. I missed it when my search function didn't actually scan the document.--S. Rich (talk) 12:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

October 2012

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
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. ElKevbo (talk) 18:11, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Preston University. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Giving readers your evaluation of the Herald is improper. S. Rich (talk) 17:29, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Higher education accreditation in the United States. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. S. Rich (talk) 17:31, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Preston University. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. DVdm (talk) 18:15, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Preston University, you may be blocked from editing. I am not going to revert your POV edit as that would infringe on the 3 revert rule (and another interested editor is sure to come along to make the needed correction). But your opinions about the Herald are uncalled for. Your persistence in re-adding the material is disruptive. The issue has been raised on the talk page, so try to achieve consensus. Until then, you should please stop this disruptive editing. S. Rich (talk) 18:18, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Preston University with this edit, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. DVdm (talk) 18:21, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Preston University. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. It is unclear as to whether you have a gripe about the Herald or are promoting Preston U. Either way, please stop injecting your own views into these edits. S. Rich (talk) 13:18, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello.

This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. You are welcome. Please understand that WP is a multi-million piece jigsaw puzzle. We try and try again to get the pieces to fit. And as you praise persistence, I may well persist in asking you to sign your talk page posts. Even though a bot may come along and add a signature, it is better practice to sign them yourself. Doing so shows you actually wanted the comment posted and avoids those instances when the bot skips over your missing signature. S. Rich (talk) 14:38, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Learning & Service Award

Yashnv, you've done about 100 edits on Wikipedia. So I'm presenting a service banner to you for display either here or on your userpage. You will deserve the next level award when you hit 200 edits.

This editor is a Signator and is entitled to display this Scroll of Signatures.

With this in mind, consider that Cuchullain and I have over 85,000 edits between us, done over the course of 10 years total. And with this experience in mind, please realize that we have a pretty good grasp of the rules that Wikipedia functions under. We want the entire project to improve, not just articles that draw our individual attention or concerns. And we seek to put aside our individual points of view when it comes to editing articles. So, again, our advice to you is to read, understand, and follow the guidelines. You will enjoy your editing experience much more and your edits will truly be contributions. --S. Rich (talk) 19:35, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Signatures please

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as on Talk:Higher education accreditation in the United States, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. It is such a simple step - just add four little characters at the end of your message. Don't be lazy and rely upon a bot or another editor to sign the post. Signatures help other editors know who is saying what. The failure to add the signature detracts from what you wish to convey. S. Rich (talk) 13:45, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Yashnv, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please remember to disclose these connections. S. Rich (talk) 15:01, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I do not know how you reached the above conclusion but it is not correct. I always edit on my own and have no intention to violate any policy. Thank you.

November 2012

Hello, I'm Srich32977. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Preston University because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! The prior version, without AP, is clearer and more accurate. The AP is simply the agency which distributes the story and holds the copyright. If you can get other editors to support you and reach consensus, then adding AP would be appropriate. But continously readding it is disruptive. (And even more so if you are using IP addresses for these edit!). Please stop. S. Rich (talk) 18:43, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Preston University does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Adding an edit summary gives you an opportunity to justify your edit, but you are not doing so. This is another indication, even though a small one, that you do not care to follow good practice in editing WP. S. Rich (talk) 18:51, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:13, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

April 2013

This is your last warning. The next time you make personal attacks on other people, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. ElKevbo (talk) 19:10, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

It was never my intention to make personal attacks and I guess I have been misunderstood somewhere since I cannot see where I did it. Perhaps you should guide me here. If anything I wrote sounded like a personal attack, I offer my apologies. Also, it would be great if you could as well advise other fellow editors not to attack credible organizations (for e.g., ACTA) by using rhetorics such as "slimy right-wing organization" (unless they have sufficient proof likely to support their assertions). Thank you.

Rolled-back edit to this page

I'm sorry, I erred making the last post on this talk page. I had the dates completely wrong and misread them as being a recent edit. The warning was a mistake. Please accept my apology. – S. Rich (talk) 03:07, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
