Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Ronald Reagan, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 19:48, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:59, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Smallish edits to talk page

I notice you make a lot of smallish edits to the Naomi Wolf talk page. It is rather distracting because it brings up the page on the watchlist whenever you make a change. It is a talk page after all, no need to polish your prose there. I sometimes suffer from this wiki-disease myself, this is simply a tip about a minor annoyance of mine.

Paraphrasing

You added "because of the low levels of azithromycin in breastmilk and use in infants in higher doses, it would not be expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants" which is word for word the same as the source.

Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.

This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help this dispute come to a resolution. Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you!

Indentation

This may mean something different to what you are thinking based on the "As for indentation, I start on the left and write to the right. Why is that difficult to follow?" comment. Please see Wikipedia:Indentation and Help:Using talk pages#Indentation for detailed information on indentation formatting. But a quick summary version is below;

First comment

A quick example of a single indent

A double

Triple indent

Numbered indent
Second
Unnumbered double indent

Numbered indent (notice the positioning difference between this and the first of the ":" and "#"? Look in the edit window) technically 2.1
"2.2"

Third

Back to first due to code gap between #'s but with no "visual gap" (you'll see what I mean if you go into the edit window)
Second again

Bulletpoint 1

Indented bullet point

- A double bullet point (not greatly recommended due to visuals, use the above method)

Double indented bullet points

Hope this helps as a quick summary version, and it is best practice to reply to a comment with a single indent "larger". So if someone has a 3-indent comment, and another has a 4-indent comment, respond to the first with a 4-indent and to the second with a 5-indent. Alternatively, you can respond to both with a 5-indent comment and use the {{replyto|unlinked username}}; replyto template.

Ted Cruz presidential campaign, 2016

Your recent editing history at Ted Cruz presidential campaign, 2016 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 are 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.

The two edits, so far, are as follows: (1) [2] (2) [3]

You have also stated falsely that "These are opinions by legal scholars and removing them is vandalism." Do not false statements.--ML (talk) 02:32, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ANI discussion

I've started a discussion at WP:ANI that involves you. The section is called Ted Cruz presidential campaign, 2016 slow-motion edit war. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 18:11, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

February 2016

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for abuse of editing privileges. 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 to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Floquenbeam (talk) 18:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please re-read the policy, it does not require more than 3 reverts in 24 hours to be edit warring. In addition, please stop doing two things that are really poor form: defining "vandalism" as "edits I disagree with", and making personal attacks on an editor while simultaneously complaining the other editor is making personal attacks. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:39, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ted Cruz presidential campaign, 2016 is covered by discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBAP2

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

United States and its constitutions

Best practice when an edit has been reverted is to establish a consensus rather than to re-revert. Discussion on the article talk page is the way to go.

Operation Car Wash page

Hi, I'm posting here in light of your work on this article, and I'm hoping your name rings true. Editors have been adding a lot of inappropriate foreign language source, though English sources are available, per WP:NONENG. (This had come up last October, as well.) I don't know why these editors do not make the effort to add English sources to English Wikipedia. Having just eliminated some recent ones (again); I see it's been happening for a while.

Your edit to Mandate for Palestine

I reverted your edit and you have reverted my revert. A couple of things, Wikipedia is not a source and you gave no indication that you were using Mandatory Palestine as a source. If you do that then WP policy requires attribution. Of course you are free to wikilink without attribution but you did not do that either. Mandate for Palestine is a good article which means it has been gone over by many editors while the other article does not have that status and you cannot just assume that it is correct (eg there was no "partition"). I will first fix up the offending article and after that we can agree on how to reflect it in the Mandate for Palestine article. Selfstudier (talk) 10:42, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions alerts: AP & BLP

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hunter Biden

Hello, American In Brazil,

Just a reminder that this article is under discretionary sanctions that allow for 1 revert every 24 hours. You posted the same information three times which counts as two reverts within a few hours. If information you have posted to this article is removed, please begin a discussion on the article talk page rather than re-add the same material. Otherwise you could be facing a temporary block from editing. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:44, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2021

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Selena. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. If you feel as though she should be mentioned as 'Mexican-American' take it to the talk page and gather consensus before reverting back. – jona ✉ 16:15, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alexandria_Ocasio-Cortez

You are on the edge of a topic ban from BLPs at least. This is your only warning - listen to Muboshgu, and stop believing everything you see on the Internet. [5] [6] Acroterion (talk) 02:12, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

June 2021

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}. Acroterion (talk) 02:54, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you do anything of that kind again, you will be blocked indefinitely. I won't bother to impose a BLP topic ban right now, since the next step is a siteblock, not editing restrictions. Acroterion (talk) 02:55, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

June 2021

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. In addition, your ability to edit your talk page has also been revoked.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then submit a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:11, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to AGF with you from the beginning, but you were warned, including in no uncertain terms by Acroterion when they blocked you, not to repeat that again. Use UTRS if you want to plead ignorance on deepfake pornography. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:15, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
