Category:Wikihounding @Sadads ...Wikihounding "Wikihounding is the singling out of one or more editors, and joining discussions on multiple pages or topics they may edit or multiple debates where they contribute, in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work. This is with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance or distress to the other editor. Wikihounding usually involves following the target from place to place on Wikipedia."

We may disagree on the "Cornet Castle" but the history clearly shows you followed me and went to my pages and undid them. The time stamp of the history shows my edits in minutes without even having the time to research and look at the edits.

In one of your attacks on me was an edit I did on the College of Lake County, you stated,

"I removed the information from College_of_Lake_County because much of the information presented does direct individuals towards specific sources (see WP:Reliable sources ). Why don't you try getting some help from the WP:Teahouse which you have a link to at the top of the page? They can walk you through the best practices on Wikipedia, Sadads (talk) 20:31, 16 April 2013 (UTC)"[reply]

I cited that own College's website? So a College is not a creditable source?

It clearly shows that... #1with the edit history times you could not have had time to even verify the information, #2 you have been following me and undoing all my edits, and #3 you are just making up stories so you don't look bad (College of Lake County example above)

I ask that you stop hounding me, this would also include enlisting your college friends to hound me, and lets just move on and forget each other. I have not reported this as I would like to try to resolve this between ourselves.

You haven't reported it because you're wrong about hounding. If you're inserting original research, or other content that doesn't have reliable sources to back it up, you should expect to be reverted. I'd suggest you re-look at policies. For example, a college is not a reliable source on itself. Your grandfather is not a reliable source. Etc. etc. Please re-look at policies before continuing. gwickwiretalkediting 04:41, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is a way around the problem with your grandfather. A newspaper or magazine could interview him, or perhaps someone could write a book that includes something he said. Until then, we have no way of knowing what your grandfather said and can't just take your word.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:37, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

April 2013

[edit]

Hello, I'm Sadads. Your recent edit to the page Castle Cornet appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sadads (talk) 15:57, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your email. Wikipedia is not a platform for publishing "original research". Rather it is structured around what is available via Wikipedia:Verifiability . If you can present proof that published WP:Reliable sources from authoritative authors have confirmed this information, then we can present it. No reputable encyclopedia will take that information, unless it can be verified via publications by authorative researchers. Sadads (talk) 18:22, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would rather maintain this conversation on wiki, rather then via email. And no, I am not targeting you for a particular reason, but that you started editing articles on which I have made contributions. I removed the information from College_of_Lake_County because much of the information presented does direct individuals towards specific sources (see WP:Reliable sources ). Why don't you try getting some help from the WP:Teahouse which you have a link to at the top of the page? They can walk you through the best practices on Wikipedia, Sadads (talk) 20:31, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting on Castle Cornet

[edit]

Your recent editing history at Castle Cornet‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your recent edit appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article to establish notability. If you wish to create such an article, please confirm that your subject is notable according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Yopie (talk) 21:25, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your use of multiple Wikipedia accounts

[edit]

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Patrickdene, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of two weeks for abusing multiple accounts and adding deliberate misinformation and hoaxes. 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 adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  JohnCD (talk) 10:59, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
