[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to R. Budd Dwyer, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Bongwarrior (talk) 11:03, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to R. Budd Dwyer. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. | Uncle Milty | talk | 17:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Was going to say this in an edit summary but something went wrong. User comments are not reliable sources. Please read that page and try to find a reliable source for your statement. Garion96 (talk) 10:44, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Sagging (fashion). Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. (talk) 13:50, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Sagging (fashion).

You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 21:29, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sagging reference

[edit]

Hello, you said "I have supplied a reliable reference for my edit - please explain if you disagree." It seems that you have referenced a discussion board on a fashion website when you made this edit. This not a reliable source by WP:SPS If the source were the magazine itself, Essence (magazine), I would still argue that the source is not scholarly and ought to be avoided.

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did to Sagging (fashion), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. | Uncle Milty | talk | 14:19, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sagging (fashion). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. (talk) 22:08, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Before re-adding the controversial material to Sagging (fashion), please review the talk page and respond to the criticism there. I have reviewed your claim and do not believe it. I have little doubt that the work you claim as your source is available to me with a quick trip across campus. If you revert the edit, I will check the work. Assuming I am correct, you will be blocked from editing. In the unlikely event you were able to get your hands on the text in question that just happened to cover the very fact you had sourced to a forum earlier in the same day, feel free to re-add the information. If it passes, I will apologize. I don't expect I will need to. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:39, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can find nothing in the text you have cited to approximate your claim. Please discuss on the talk page any further changes to this article before making them. - SummerPhD (talk) 20:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Sagging (fashion), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Do not add continue to add false claims to the article. Active Banana (talk) 21:31, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
