Hi. I like being a constructive editor.

April 2015[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Battle of Zama, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 01:09, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Troy Polamalu. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. EricEnfermero (Talk) 05:13, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Troy Polamalu, you may be blocked from editing. EricEnfermero (Talk) 05:20, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
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) 06:00, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

April 2015[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:EricEnfermero. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. EricEnfermero (Talk) 06:02, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Three comments regarding your recent editing of the article Troy Polamalu:

I am not sure what "a freaking legend" is, beyond a general impression that it is some sort of slang term that to people in the group who use the expression signifies approval. However, a real live person is not a legend in the standard English sense of the word "legend". Such use of colloquial English may be suitable in some contexts, but it is not suitable in writing an encyclopaedia article, for several reasons, not least the fact that it is not understood by all English-speaking people: it may be common usage in the community you live in, but it isn't in all English-speaking communities.
A Wikipedia article needs to be written from a neutral point of view. Adding your personal opinions as to how good or bad someone may be is contrary to Wikipedia policy.
Your linking to www.youareanidiot.org was clearly vandalism. No amount of saying that it wasn't will alter that. You have already had an account blocked for vandalism, and you were given the benefit of the doubt when you said that it was not vandalism but a joke. You are not likely to go on being given the benefit of the doubt if you continue to edit in ways which do not seem constructive: you may expect to be blocked indefinitely if you do so again at all.

Fine, I'll stop. I was just annoyed with Eric because he refused to talk to me directly and instead hid behind SineBot to delete my requests for an explanation. I see now how that could have been construed as a personal attack. I'll be more careful in the future.

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 Transgender, you may be blocked from editing. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 19:08, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistent 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 first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. — MusikAnimal ^talk 20:17, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I don't see why the edits I made at Transgender constitute vandalism-everything i said is true. Simply because someone disagrees with my view of what it means to be transgender doesn't mean you can mark my edits as vandalism. Give me one valid reason for why I was blocked, other than a twisted and warped liberal agenda. JohnRoe76 (talk) 20:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You have not been blocked for vandalism. You have been blocked for failing to adhere to a neutral point of view and edit warring. Please understand that continually reverting to your preferred version, whether it is right or wrong, is prohibited by policy. Tiptoety ^talk 20:44, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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.
