Reverted

Hello, I have reverted your edits to the various election-by-state articles. While you may not find the added information to be "relevant", it may be helpful to some readers to clarify that the winner of the election is not necessarily the candidate who receives the most votes. BD2412 T 01:02, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. While it may be some bonus information for any reader, the pages they are on (i.e. presidential election results in individual states) do not necessitate that data and if anyone who is going to those pages they are more than likely specifically looking for that individual state's results in the election. Not the candidate's nationwide result. MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 02:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The pages are entirely organized on whether the candidate who won the election nationally (i.e., the Electoral College) also won the popular vote in the state. Presenting the information in a footnote is the least intrusive way to clarify any potential confusion over the fact that the national election winner is not necessarily the national popular vote winner. BD2412 T 02:43, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any potential "confusion" over a candidate not being explicitly stated as the loser of the popular vote is only a fear held by those who wish to publicize the fact they did lose it. Anybody would rationally come to the conclusion someone such as Trump is widely-known to have lost the nationwide popular vote. MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 07:36, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The footnote in question refers to four candidates – it is certainly not so widely known that this also applies to Benjamin Harrison and Rutherford B. Hayes. You removed all the notes, not just one, which now makes me wonder if you were even paying attention to what you were removing. BD2412 T 10:34, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As I've already previously stated, anybody coming to these pages are not going to be looking for nationwide electoral results but for state-specific election returns. With that said, I sincerely doubt anybody adding this is doing so to inform someone George Bush lost the 2000 popular vote out of educational purposes, but rather to make the presidential winner look bad cause they weren't "democratically elected" as opposed to their opponent. For your information I was paying attention to what I was doing, which is in fact why I removed all four of the footnotes in the first place. Why would I keep Hayes's and remove Trump's? MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 22:33, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I have evidence to the contrary. The reason I added the footnote to the articles was that an IP editor switched the columns for Clinton and Trump in an article, likely because they thought the "winner" column referred to the popular vote winner. Including the footnote makes it clear that by "winner" we mean the winner of the election, which will avoid the kind of confusion that appears to have happened here. In any case, it's a footnote. It doesn't "publicize" anything or make anyone "look bad". It merely relates an historical circumstance relevant to the column. BD2412 T 23:27, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to cater to a 1% demographic based off a single edit be my guest. MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 05:20, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion.

Your section heading at Talk:Gretchen Whitmer

Please don't add section headings like that again. Talk pages are as much covered by discretionary sanctions as are articles, or indeed any page on Wikipedia. Doug Weller talk 15:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020

Hi MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Republican Party (United States) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 18:56, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You are marking almost all your edits as "minor" when some of them significant text. Another editor has already informed you of the "minor edits" policy a few days ago. Please stop marking your edits as minor unless they abide by that policy. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 21:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relax friend. Your coming here and acting overly-aggressive is a mad look on you. I don't appreciate your tone and I think you need to relax or I'll likewise make a report. MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 23:06, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My comment was not aggressive at all. You can make whatever idle threats you want. Please edit this encyclopedia properly going forward now that two editors have warned you. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 23:18, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of major-party United States presidential candidates who lost home state, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New York (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.)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Ancestral background of Presidents of the United States, from its old location at User:MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there.

Community sanctions covering Covid-19

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.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Block next time

You'll be blocked next time you troll Talk:Donald Trump. Talkpages are for discussing improvements to the article, not for expressing your opinions of other people, on Wikipedia or off it. Bishonen | tålk 19:41, 28 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

PS, this is not to prevent you from taking part in the discussion. With "trolling", I mean your restoration of this edit. I've removed it again. Bishonen | tålk 19:45, 28 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Bishonen, 5% of American COVID deaths are from New York nursing homes ordered to take positive patients by Cuomo. What do you mean by trolling for speaking this truth? This is a horrible thing. Mr Ernie (talk) 19:49, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mr Ernie, in my opinion you have been here long enough to know what talkpages are for and what they're not for. Bishonen | tålk 19:51, 28 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

With all due respect, you're either blind or a hypocrite to accuse me of "trolling" (cause I'm definitely not editing with good faith, which I love how I'm accused of not assuming of others whilst they never assume so of me) when I respond in equal measure to:

Don't bring Pelosi or Cuomo into this. They're not the ones trying to pack churches in the middle of a pandemic.

Gee wiz, mister, I bet he's editing with the bestest of intentions. Don't fret over it. I'm not bothering with that article anymore, it's a waste of time. MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 20:10, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

,Pretty clearly not editing with good faith as I saw this. Keep going and I see either a topic ban or Talk: block in your near future. I alerted you to discretionary sanctions above but that doesn't seem to have made any difference. Doug Weller talk 20:15, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is pretty clear evidence of bad faith editing warranting a block? Amazing. It must be that time of the 4-years again. Cjhard (talk) 05:17, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. BD2412 T 20:33, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't want to get involved, but will just say a few words. It's a shame that you might lost editing in this subject for six months. Your list is very promising, and could easily be made into a featured list if you work on it. Don't waste your potential with immature stuff like this. Just please remember that Wikipedia isn't a soapbox and decidate your time that you have to improving your list or whatnot. Stay out of the Trump talk page, and be more mature please. Thanks.

June 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Larry Sanger; 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:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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. ——Serial^# 09:31, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Trump re-revert

Re your re-revert, please refer to the second sentence of the nutshell at WP:BRD. Discussions are not held by re-reversions and edit summaries, and we don't re-revert just because we disagree with the rationale for the BRD revert. Kindly self-revert your re-revert, then take the issue to the article talk page or drop it. Thank you. ―Mandruss ☎ 12:42, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're an oddly aggressive man, your demand to "drop it" and your blunt statement of "[e]nough already" in your initial revert as if my relatively mundane edits are somehow stepping on your toes like you own the article were tip-offs already. MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 12:47, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The "enough already" is understood by editors who have been around that article for years and have some insight into the history. Point taken that it looks different to someone who has not, and I apologize for those two words. In any case it's a bad look to divert from good faith criticism by pointing at flaws in the criticizer's delivery. I see now that your re-revert has been reverted by a different editor, albeit for a different reason, which is good enough for me. ―Mandruss ☎ 13:19, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Until now I was not aware of the May ANI complaint against you (which closed without action only because it was wrong venue). Considering your own admission there I have a track record of being "contentious" (with which I wholeheartedly agree), it seems more than a little hypocritical to call me out for "enough already" and "drop it". Given the thoroughly negative views about Wikipedia that you expressed there, which amount to a generalized presumption of bad faith, I wouldn't bet on your chances of being around by this time next year. But good luck. ―Mandruss ☎ 13:49, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken you would be wise to listen to the advice Mandruss is giving you. Donald Trump and many American politics article have strict editing restrictions. There is a prominent notice next to the edit window as well as on the talk page. You must not make more than one revert per 24 hours to this article. If an edit you make is reverted you must discuss on the talk page and wait 24 hours before reinstating your edit. If you ignore the restrictions again, you may be blocked from editing or topic banned. - MrX 🖋 11:54, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

August 2020

Hi MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken. I wanted to let you know that political endorsements must meet all three of these criteria:

The endorser must have an article or be unquestionably entitled to one
This endorsement must be covered by reliable and independent sources
Coverage of the endorsement needs to use the word endorse, or other closely related synonym.

This is covered by the guideline WP:ENDORSE and the community consensus at WP:ERFC.

For that reason, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, poker websites, and blogs are not acceptable sources. Also, donating to a campaign or showing up to a campaign rally are not endorsements. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you - MrX 🖋 11:14, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at List of Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign endorsements. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. This edit summary was totally uncalled for. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 11:27, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken, please respect content guidelines. If you think that there is an endorsement in the source that I missed, please start a talk page discussion. If you disagree with the community consensus on WP:ENDORSEMENTS, you can start a new discussion at WP:VPP. - MrX 🖋

October 2020

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to 2020 United States presidential election in Indiana, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. — Tartan357 ^(Talk) 05:05, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Topic ban

User:MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken: As the above sections are not your first incident in this topic area, but continue a pattern of aggressive editing, pursuant to the arbitration enforcement provisions for post-1932 American politics, you are now topic-banned from editing in the area of post-1932 American politics, broadly construed for a period of 90 days. Typically topic bans run for six months, but I am hopeful that a shorter period will be effective in dissuading further disruption. If you disagree, you may appeal this topic ban at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. BD2412 T 05:31, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well I'll appeal but seeing as you guys consistently look for a reason to silence me it's a wonder why I should bother. MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 17:58, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After reflecting on the comments in the ANI discussion, I am removing the topic ban from the log. I do regret having proceeded too aggressively on the matter, and will step away from use of the administrator tools for a time. BD2412 T 00:14, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021

Your recent editing history at Antifa (United States) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
