DS alert US politics

[edit]
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 that 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.

comment

[edit]

you posted at my talk page, but since the thread is already started here, I'll reply here. This is in accord with WP:MULTI. My answer to your question whether you "should cease and desist" is that any sanctions our admins impose are meant to prevent future problems. See WP:Blocking policy. We initially assume editors are both capable and willing to learn from mistakes. So sanctions start off small and for short periods. Persistent problems can lead to more severe and/or longer sanctions. And for the few who are unable or unwilling to change, admins might impose bans of various scopes, of which topic bans might be the most common. So, in answer to your question, I think you can choose to read all the guideline and policy related material that has been shared with you and try to edit accordingly, or you can choose not to and see what happens.

Sandbox

[edit]

Hi, I was looking at the sandbox and saw your work on the attempted impeachment of the current US president ad was wondering how it is a coup d'état. I also worried that your article does not meet Wikipedia's guidelines when it comes to articles having a nuetral point of view. Thanks The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 00:00, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, I hope to develop this... I have added more, so help out if u canLet us eat lettuce (talk) 03:56, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Have added additional info to support the coup d'état narrative. I have attempted to evolve this beyond the essay status into wiki format. meeting resistance... all factual w/ citations.....

A few words of advice

[edit]

If you can really write stuff about "the liberal biased news media" and believe that "there is no violation of neutral point of view" then it is doubtful that you have sufficient ability to see the nature of your own editing to contribute to Wikipedia. That may well be your own sincerely held point of view, but by no stretch of the imagination is it a neutral point of view. I strongly advise you to accept that posting content to advocate a point of view, as you have done, is contrary to Wikipedia policy, whether you like that policy or not. (There are Wikipedia policies that I personally don't agree with, but I accept that they are policies.) If you continue to refuse to accept Wikipedia policies then it is likely that before long you will be blocked from editing by an administrator, so please do start accepting them. Also, there is no place in Wikipedia for posting content on the basis that "it is speculated". Finally, I strongly advise you that if you keep on re-submitting the same draft without addressing the issue that led to its repeatedly being rejected before, then you will almost certainly be blocked from editing, to prevent you from wasting the time of volunteers who review it.

Comments

[edit]

There are indeed attempts to remove Donald Trump from office by impeachment. It is a misuse of language, and a serious misuse of language, to refer to impeachment attempts as an attempt at a coup d'etat. Both impeachment and the 25th Amendment are constitutional mechanisms, and their use is not a coup d'etat. In fact, these are mechanisms that were introduced, in 1789 and in 1967, to remove a President from office by lawful means rather than by coup d'etat. Are you implying that the impeachment efforts are extra-constitutional, or are you referring to an actual coup d'etat, perhaps by General Dunford? Who are you saying would replace Mr. Trump in a coup d'etat? I don't think that Michael Pence would participate in a violation of constitutional principles. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:50, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As to rioting, I do not think that the rioting was intended to remove Mr. Trump from office, but to protest (illegally). Not every illegal or violent protest is treasonous. They may be only illegal and violent. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:50, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Language such as "biased media" and "political feeding frenzy" should not be in the voice of Wikipedia. If someone has used these phrases, quote them. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:50, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good faith

OK... you're taking swings at others( e.g., equating reverts with censorship). Please read WP:Assume good faith and Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American_politics#Principles especially the part about behavioral standards. You're on notice about DS, and so the relatively speedy sanctions procedures at AE are in play. See the DS alert I gave you a few days ago in an earlier thread, and click-and-read the links therein.NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 21:10, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Personal commentary in articles

[edit]

Information icon Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to You Are What You Eat (film). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. 149.254.49.45 (talk) 22:03, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Failure to engage in consensus decision making is one of the explicitly listed signs of disruptive editing

[edit]

FYI please read WP:DISRUPTSIGNS. You keep adding problematic material at Trump resistance, I keep reverting with explanations in the edit summaries, and you should try to start a talk page thread (see WP:BRD) instead of disruptively repeating the cycle ad nauseum. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 10:57, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you may be blocked from editing. You have been told repeatedly of the need to edit neutrally and to avoid making personal comments. If you honestly can't see that statements such as "Trump Derangement Syndrome set in and manifest itself in the continued efforts to respond negatively to every Trump initiative, every Trump policy, and every Trump idea" express opinions, then you have such a lack of ability to understand the difference between objective and subjective reporting that you are probably not going to be able to start contributing in the neutral way required. If, on the other hand, you understand perfectly well that such statements express opinions, but put them in because you believe those opinions are right, then you are here to use Wikipedia to promote a point of view. You really need to change your approach very quickly if you are not to be blocked: you have had plenty of warnings. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:15, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Frederica Wilson, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The "show preview" button is right next to the "save page" button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Rapid fire editing, clogs up the recent changes log and page history logs, and exposes you and other users to edit conflicts. Even if you haven't made a mistake, it's a courtesy to the community to limit serial edit commits over a short period of time. Thanks! GS 05:46, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Al Franken. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 18:46, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Strzok‎

[edit]

Don't ever use Daily Mail for sourcing material regarding living persons. The cases where Daily Mail can be used as a reliable source are very few. What's even worse, you wrote that living persons lied the FBI. Lying means telling an untruth with intent to deceive. That's not what the source says. Politrukki (talk) 15:38, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Lettuce! I also came here to comment on something from the Peter Strzok article: Please do not add the false claim that Strzok signed the document opening the FBI's investigation of Russian interference in the U.S. elections "after the 2016 presidential election." I think you've done that twice now but it is incorrect. The investigation was not opened after the election. It was opened in summer 2016, and that's what the source says. --MelanieN (talk) 02:06, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also you shouldn't have marked those edits as being minor - see WP:MINOR. This is a minor point (heh) but you should keep it mind. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:00, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brian Ross (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

BLP violation

[edit]

Your edit at Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections has been reverted as a BLP violation, and a pretty serious one at that. It's unsourced and non-factual, a partisan attack on Comey. Don't do that. -- BullRangifer (talk) PingMe 04:38, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Limbaugh

[edit]

Hi, Lettuce! Your addition of Limbaugh to the Summit article is still not properly sourced. You put in the article a vague comment about the kind of thing he was saying, and you listed a 1) primary source with 2) nothing specific to actually back up what you said. You would need a secondary source, a Reliable Source, reporting that "Rush Limbaugh said such-and-such". I am going to have to remove the Limbaugh sentence. I understand your desire to include more commentary from the right, but it's got to have secondary sourcing. For that matter, it would be better if the commentary was actually supporting Trump's performance at the summit, rather than complaining about the negative coverage. Can you find anything where a commentator praises Trump's performance, AND a secondary source quotes them? --MelanieN (talk) 23:45, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see you re-added Rush. The problem with the Rush sentence is not that he is not notable; of course he is. The problem with that comment is that it does not have a proper secondary source. And the way you re-added it, it still doesn't. It's still your own summary of the kind of thing he talked about, linked to a general archive of every comment he has made on every subject. I'm not going to re-remove it (the article is not under 1RR but I will treat it as if it is). But I suspect someone else will, and they will be justified. We NEED proper secondary sources for what we put in the article. --MelanieN (talk) 00:46, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • You have been editing both biographies and American politics topics in a way that people have been questioning on this page, and I see you have just made a lot of small but sometimes opinionated changes to the highly controversial article Presidency of Donald Trump. That is the reason I'm giving you the above reminders about discretionary sanctions. Bishonen | talk 20:46, 11 August 2018 (UTC).[reply]

To ping me, you need to actually link my username. Two links to my talkpage won't do it, so I only accidentally noticed you had addressed me here. I don't agree that you mainly added content to report factualness. More than additions, you made removals and changes, and they were tendentious. What do you mean by "white-haterd"? Please explain very clearly, because I don't like the sound of it. Bishonen | talk 22:13, 11 August 2018 (UTC).[reply]

BishonenPing again... good to hear from a collaborator... I am trying to correrct the representasion of the story with items that fefunct Trump Derangemment Syndrom. seems light existing wiki article is very slanted....
"Fefunct"?? I don't know what that means. Are you typing on a phone with mittens on your hands? Please explain what you mean by "white-haterd". There's no need to write a lot of other stuff, if you have trouble with the writing. Just explain the one word I asked about, please. Bishonen | talk 22:44, 11 August 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Blocked

[edit]

On second thoughts, never mind about the white-haterd, I can guess. I've taken a closer look at your edits to Presidency of Donald Trump, and they are completely tendentious. You have been blocked as not being here to create an encyclopedia but instead to push a particular point of view, many times in defiance of the sources already in the article. I know you have been here over a year, but I'm not highly impressed by your previous editing either — certainly not enough to make up for recent edits. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

  • You are not banned from an article, you are blocked; you don't get to edit at all, except this, your own, user talkpage. Note the instructions above, in case you want to appeal the block to another admin. Bishonen | talk 23:28, 11 August 2018 (UTC).[reply]
    • BishonentalkThanks for the tip... was just adding content to report factual-ness. I read the prior account, it seems so slanted towards white-hatred... Is this what Wikipedia is all about? what about the facts? why not document the counter-protesters and their hatred? bring balance to two paragraphs... why is a Wikipedia article so trying to paint a hatred picture and naming Trump as somehow advocating the hatred from only one named side of the hatred. Bigotry is rampant on Wikipedia and your reversion surely exposes your bigotry. Maybe you'd like to blow whistles or a blow horn at anybody with a voice different than yours. I know about your type.

Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville

On August 13, 2017, Trump condemned violence "on many sides" after a gathering of thousands of white nationalists and others supporting retention of monuments depicting American history in Charlottesville, Virginia, the previous day (August 12) turned deadly. A Unite the Right activist drove a car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing one woman and injuring 19 others.[513] According to Attorney General Sessions, that action met the definition of domestic terrorism.[514] During the rally there was other violence, as several counter-protesters charged at the white nationalists with swinging clubs and mace, throwing bottles, rocks, and paint.[515][516][517] Trump did not initially express mention of Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, or the alt-right movement in his remarks on August 13.[518] However, the following day (August 14), he did denounce white supremacists while still failing to mention the counter-protestors.[519] He further condemned "the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups".[520] Then the next day (August 15), he again blamed "both sides".[521]

Many Republican and Democratic elected officials condemned the violence and hatred of the counter-protestors and the Unite the Right activists.[522] Trump came under criticism from world leaders[523] and politicians,[524][518] as well as a variety of religious groups[525] and anti-hate organizations[526] for his remarks, which were interpreted as muted and equivocal.[524] The New York Times reported that Trump "was the only national political figure to spread blame for the 'hatred, bigotry and violence' that resulted in the death of one person to 'many sides'",[524] and said that Trump had "buoyed the white nationalist movement on Tuesday as no president has done in generations".[527] The news media later reported that the White nationalist groups felt "emboldened" after the rally and planned additional demonstrations.[514]
