Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create an account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Create new pages and rename pages
Edit semi-protected pages
Upload images
Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

If you edit without an account, your IP address (82.28.140.226) is used to identify you instead.

We hope that you choose to become a Wikipedian and create an account. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing!

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) 23:01, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note[edit]

Your questions on the ref desk woud be better received if you gave any indication that you had read the proffered answers and the references cited therein. In particular, did you look up the literature cited by User:DuncanHill and myself to your Black Murderers question before starting the new section on Black Violence ? And what's next Black Intelligence or Black Sexuality ? I wish to assume good faith but your editing is increasingly resembling trolling, and if you continue in this vein you are likely to be blocked from editing wikipedia. Abecedare (talk) 18:41, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I could have re-worded it better for you. And I think implying that I am trolling plus the thinly veiled threats are totally uncalled for. You are reading the wrong narrative in my questions. This is called bias. I look forward to your urgent apology.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:16, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked[edit]

Thank you for playing troll-the-admins, you have unlocked the 48 hour block achievement. Guy (Help!) 23:03, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

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

Request reason:

I have made no racist comments. I stand by this. An audit trail of my activity is public for all to see. As such, the blocking policy is incorrect and the block should be reversed. I also object to the patronising message that was also left on my TP. I feel this was wholly inappropriate, puerile behaviour and damages the integrity of the project.

Decline reason:

Obvious troll is obvious. Max Semenik (talk) 06:16, 30 May 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.

For what it's worth, I don't see how saying "Obvious troll is obvious" makes anything clearer to people who don't see it, even repeatedly. I also don't understand what was wrong with the title, or what a troll or genuine racism advocate could reasonably hope to achieve by either post.

As far as I can see, you're innocent enough. Sort of a travesty, but it's also only two days. Part of me wants to be your public defense civil rights Wikilawyer, but the other thinks that may hurt my Wikipolitical ambitions (I intend to run for adminship in 2020). It'd be different if they were planning to kill you. InedibleHulk (talk) 11:32, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked @JzG: to justify his claim in the block rationale, but while he has answered subsequent questions on his talk page, he hasn't bothered to answer mine. I too do not see anything wrong with the questions. DuncanHill (talk) 12:07, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Objection! "Hasn't bothered" presumes malicious and willfull ignorance, prejudice and incompetence. Them's fighting words. If we're de facto pro bono legal partners now, I think that could make me an accomplice to contempt of kangaroo court. I move that your comment be stricken from the record, ~~like so.~~ InedibleHulk (talk) 13:17, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@MaxSem: No, not obvious. DuncanHill (talk) 12:08, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

June 2015[edit]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you have a registered Wikipedia username, you may log in and continue to edit. Otherwise, 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 ~~~~}}. Monty ₈₄₅ 15:51, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Damn. Somebody up there hates you. InedibleHulk (talk) 04:13, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why not create an account, or at least take SineBot's repeated advice to sign your questions and comments? You would then seem less like a troll. Dbfirs 18:55, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize not having an account or signing my posts automatically qualified me for the status of 'troll'...Ugh.

That's not what I wrote! Dbfirs 19:15, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Misc Ref Desk[edit]

You've been warned and hatted bfore by other users such as AndyTheGrump for your escapades at the ref desks, your talk page makes this clear. Now you insist on restoring a hatted request for prediction against the guidelines at the top of the page. If you continue this, you will be reported to ANI for indefinite blocking without further warning. μηδείς (talk) 21:26, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.

July 2015[edit]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for persistent disruptive editing. If you have a registered Wikipedia username, you may log in and continue to edit. Otherwise, once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
