Your recent edits edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, 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 necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 06:18, 13 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Endorsements edit

I have reverted your edit adding Matt McGorry to Endorsements for the Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016. The cited Tweet does not indicate an endorsement. An endorsement is typically clear and unequivocal. An ambiguous hashtag plus a Halloween costume of a candidate are just not an endorsement. Thus, please don't add it back unless you have some other, much better source. Thanks. Neutralitytalk 03:41, 2 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

So, I assume you're going to clean up about....say.....minimum half of Clinton's endorsements on this basis too?
Anyone is welcome to do so, even you. I added a template at the top of the page to encourage people to do that checking. Here's how it is supposed to work: Wikipedia:Verifiability#Responsibility_for_providing_citations -hugeTim (talk) 20:00, 2 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Wikiisawesome. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Frothy— because it didn’t appear constructive to me.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistent vandalism, including on at least one article periodically edit-warring to repeat the same vandalism, over a very long period of time. Perhaps you think that you can get away with it provided you leave long enough intervals between vandalism edits: if so, this block is intended to get you to change that opinion. 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 first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:27, 9 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Reporting vandalism edit

Hi, someone is repeatedly edit-warring on the endorsements page for Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. Despite the conditions listed already having been debated by the main editors of that page (myself, Book wormed, and others), the person is repeatedly inserting their personal bias and belief into it by repeatedly removing entries and calling me a "partisan." Please advise. 74.107.74.186 (talk) 20:34, 9 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

You are perfectly right in pointing out that there is edit-warring in that article, and you are one of those edit-warring. Furthermore, I see that you have made no attempt to answer the reasons given on the talk page for the reverting of your recent editing, despite yourself exhorting others to discuss on that page. I have protected the article for three days to cause a break in the edit-warring. During those three days, consider the reasons given on that page for regarding your edits as unacceptable, and if you have good reasons for disagreeing then explain what those reasons are. If, when the article protection ends, you return to edit-warring, you may be blocked from editing. I see that you have given this talk page section the heading "Reporting vandalism", but what you refer to appears to be good-faith editing which you happen to disagree with, rather than vandalism.

March 2016 edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page List of Bernie Sanders presidential campaign endorsements, 2016 has been reverted.
Your edit here to List of Bernie Sanders presidential campaign endorsements, 2016 was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/nancykaffer/status/706625598991540225) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.
