User talk:Robert32439

Welcome!

Hello, Robert32439, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Brad Birkenfeld does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Specifically, please do stay focused at the topic of an article and do not add information that puts an undue weight on non-related aspects.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Nageh (talk) 18:14, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I mean it[edit]

I mean it what I said above. The Brad Birkenfeld article is in a horribly one-sided state, and I ask you to not add further to this inbalance but provide a fair presentation of all the issues. He is not the glorious figure that some people would like to represent him as. Neither should positive commentary by notable organizations or other reliable sources be suppressed. Help making the article present a fair picture to the reader instead of pushing your own personal point of view on the subject. Thank you! Nageh (talk) 18:52, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:24, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

May 2012[edit]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Brad Birkenfeld. More importantly, do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources, as explained in the synthesis section of our editing policy. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Nageh (talk) 08:24, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Brad Birkenfeld 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. Nageh (talk) 12:58, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant it well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Chip123456 (talk) 16:47, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brad Birkenfeld[edit]

Do not edit-war on this article to impose your own views. I've opened a topic on the article Talk page. You are welcome to contribute there per WP:BRD. Without a consensus, your "version" of the article cannot be reinstated.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:48, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

July 2012[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Brad Birkenfeld. 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.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
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; 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. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 01:52, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to be editing as an IP also, making the same edits: such is not acceptable--socking to avoid scrutiny and a possible block in an edit war. Drmies (talk) 15:52, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're being discussed at WP:AN3#User:Robert32439 reported by User:Hello71 (Result: ). If you are in fact reverting well-intentioned cleanup efforts by experienced Wikipedia editors then you may have some explaining to do. You are welcome to present your side of the story there. If you are also using an IP to revert the article then you are in even more trouble. It would be helpful if you can comment on that issue. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:17, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Warning[edit]

Please see the result of WP:AN3#User:Robert32439 reported by User:Hello71 (Result: Semi). It contains a warning to you. If you continue to revert the Brad Birkenfeld article without making any effort to get consensus on the talk page, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 00:21, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for persistent disruptive editing. 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.
