External links[edit]

Hi there, there really is no need to add links to the local fire department. Please take a moment to read WP:ELMINOFFICIAL and WP:LINKFARM. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:47, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 2019[edit]

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please stop adding unencyclopedic links to local fire departments, per WP:ELMINOFFICIAL and WP:LINKFARM. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:49, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

October 2019[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please stop adding unencyclopedic links to local fire departments, per WP:ELMINOFFICIAL and WP:LINKFARM. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:00, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please also read Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline#External links, "Providing links to every commercial, educational, or other entity within the city is not appropriate for this section". Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:03, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

November 2019[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style. Please stop adding inappropriate external links, per WP:ELMINOFFICIAL and WP:LINKFARM. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:02, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ANI[edit]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:54, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with the sentiments expressed at the original poster's comments at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:ThosLop. This behavior needs to stop. Please read and understand WP:ELMINOFFICIAL, WP:LINKFARM, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline#External links. If you do not understand, or have questions, please let me know. Continuing as you have is not an option and will likely lead to your being blocked. Please, stop. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 21:45, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would you please explain why you are continuing this behavior despite the above warnings, despite the AN/I thread about this topic? Simply ignoring this won't make it go away, and won't result in your edits sustaining. Please explain yourself. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 02:09, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Hammersoft and I have asked you to stop adding links to fire departments. Unfortunately, you have started again, and have not responded. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:16, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

January 2020[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Park City, Utah. Yosemiter (talk) 05:12, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For the same reasons above after this edit. Either you are not listening or just not here to collaborate with others. Yosemiter (talk) 05:12, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with Yosemite. Every time you add fire district links to articles, they are being reverted. You are well aware of this, and you are well aware of the WP:AN/I thread that was started about this. Yet, you persist in doing this. It is obvious from these actions that you are not here to edit in a collaborative manner. You might disagree with those links being removed, but your disagreement does not constitute a right to keep doing it. Either you work to gain WP:CONSENSUS for these edits, or they will continue to be reverted and you will very likely be blocked. Ignoring this warning ISN'T an option if you want to continue to edit here. I hope we've been clear. If not, then PLEASE by all means ask us questions. Simply continuing as before will bring nothing good for you. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:18, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of WP:AN/I thread about your edits[edit]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:ThosLop. I have requested you be blocked for continuing to add fire district websites despite multiple warnings from various other editors. --Hammersoft (talk) 01:20, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ThosLop, you need to respond to this complaint. If you refuse to communicate, I'll have to block you until you agree to start communicating with other editors. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

January 2020[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for disruptive editing and a refusal to communicate.

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 ~~~~}}. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

ThosLop (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have reviewed the reasons for this blocking, and there is some validity to them. I apologize for apparently going against Wikipedia policy. The fire district websites I provided links to were not part of the community government structure; they were either separate taxing districts or were regional/contracted departments covering the community. In each of the cases, no reference was made to them in the community's official website. The concern about my failure to communicate makes sense. With one or two exceptions at the beginning of my editing time, I have not been aware of communications being addressed to me. Unfortunately, I have not checked this page on a regular basis (which, in turn, does not help with any collaboration. Again I apologize. Respectfully, ThosLop ThosLop (talk) 15:52, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Thank you for communicating with us. I know sometimes that people forget to check their talk page or they become busy with other stuff. However, Wikipedia is a collaborative project. Eventually, you have to respond to the concerns of fellow editors. I've unblocked you so that you can engage in dispute resolution with the other editors. Please do that before going back to adding more links. If you have questions, you can ask at the Teahouse or the help desk. They can guide you through some of our more bureaucratic aspects of editing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:44, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
