April 2012[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article David Hornsby, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. There is a source to show Hornsby's age as of the date an article was published, but it does not specify has exact date of birth. Please do not add an exact date unless it can be sourced. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 15:52, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at David Hornsby. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

That said, regarding your claim that you are David Hornsby: Please see WP:Autobiography, which includes instructions on what do if an article exists about you. In short, you will need to contact the English Wikipedia via email; if they verify your identify and if they are willing to take your word for your birthdate, they can change the with a note explaining why. I have no way of verifying your identity, so as a matter of caution and protection against imposters, I have to assume you are not who you claim to be until you're verified otherwise.

The easier route would just be to find a page of celebrity birthdays published online somewhere that noted your birthday was December 1: then the date comes from a published secondary source. Or, if you had an official website and the date were posted there, we would go with that (unless a published secondary source said something to the contrary). —C.Fred (talk) 14:02, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Rufer1976. You have new messages at C.Fred's talk page.

Your recent editing history at David Hornsby shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You must stop your disruptive editing of this article, not to mention your insults on and off Wiki. You're just heading for a block. Bbb23 (talk) 16:23, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

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) 16:34, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at David Hornsby. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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. Tiptoety ^talk 16:40, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

trying to add accurate information that keeps being removed. I have cited a reference which is a legitimate source. As you know, media cites wikipedia for bday info and the incorrect information has been on this page. I am citing a verifiable source, that is the actor's twitter account. Fine if I am blocked but at least put the correct information with the cited source to appease the standards of Wikipedia. And let's all move on to more important matters.

Decline reason:

Not an unblock request. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 17:43, 28 April 2012 (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.
