Covid-19 sanctions

[edit]
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 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has enacted a more stringent set of rules. Any administrator may impose sanctions – such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks – 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 these sanctions. 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.

  • If you want to make any changes that support conspiracy theories over the origin of the Covid-19 pandemic, or soften the criticism/debunking of those conspiracy theories, please seek a consensus on the article talk page first. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:45, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You've been warned by Boing! said Zebedee about adding CoVID-19-related conspiracy theories to articles. I removed some conspiracy-theory and non-neutral material you added to Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic, yet you've restored it: [1]. Please self-revert. -Thucydides411 (talk) 22:43, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I haven’t added any conspiracy theories or non-neutral material to any article. WP:TALKNO Please stop making false claims and misrepresenting my arguments. JustStalin (talk) 14:22, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You added material that was almost identical to the conspiracy-theory material that promoted Boing's notice. You've now added additional conspiracy-theory material to a WP:BLP, which is crossing another line: [2]. -Thucydides411 (talk) 18:48, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Repeating your false assertion that I've added "conspiracy theory material" to an article doesn't make it true. WP:TALKNO JustStalin (talk) 03:42, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the content you added was copied from another website, and thus was a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia. — Diannaa (talk) 22:40, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even realize I wasn't paraphrasing some of them! JustStalin (talk) 03:41, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion

[edit]

You are aware this reversion[3] is in violation of the sanctions applying to COVID-19 topics? In normal articles the WP:ONUS is on you anyway. I strongly suggest you self-revert to avoid risking a block. Alexbrn (talk) 04:01, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did not realize that. I will revert and discuss all my proposed additions on the talk page. JustStalin (talk) 04:03, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
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.
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 ~~~~}}.  Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:30, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • You have been warned about the sanctions applicable to the Covid-19 topic area, yet I find you edit warring at Shi Zhengli. If you make changes at any article related to Covid-19 and you are reverted, you must then start a discussion at the talk page and seek consensus for the changes you want to make. Do not edit war to reinstate your changes. And please also note that edit summaries saying nothing more than "Nope" are not sufficient. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:34, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • You also need to be aware that articles about living persons require extra care, and disputed content must be left out unless there is a consensus through discussion to include it. Please see WP:BLP for specific Wikipedia policy in this area. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:39, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Alexbrn (talk) 16:02, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to add high quality academic peer-reviewed sourced content, be my guest. But don't do it while simultaneously disruptively editing the page by removing well-sourced content that supports the majority scientific position, without explicitly discussing it first. JustStalin (talk) 16:25, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The sources were added, and you have revert-warred them away with a lazy roll-back to some prior version. Alexbrn (talk) 16:37, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't "revert war", the talk page clearly shows that I was undoing your multiple attempts to disruptively edit the page. JustStalin (talk) 16:41, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, two mashings of the revert button. I don't need to "be your guest" to do things either. You seem to be assuming ownership of the article. Alexbrn (talk) 16:44, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am assuming no such thing. JustStalin (talk) 16:48, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
