Your edits are unsourced. The threshold for inclusion of material in articles is verifability not truth. If you don't have sources, you cannot include the material in the article. Your edits are particularly problematic because they include your own conclusions and conspiracy theories. We do not use Wikipedia articles to peddle conspiracy theories about Amazon or any other company or subject. Oh and please don't edit my userpage. Thanks, Gwernol 01:32, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
there is no conspiracy. Amazon is a company that own IMDB. They want to maximize profits. It's just a scummy way to make money. They want credit card numbers and information for their own use. Nothing conspiratorial about that. It should be mentioned. I want the 'to post on their boards you must "PURCHASE from Amazon" information on therel. Thank you. A criticism section on there would be nice. thank you again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericg33 (talkcontribs)
First hand experience is not verifiable and can never be used to source Wikipedia articles. Even if your claim about the need for a credit card to register on IMDB is true, your claims that this is a conspiracy by Amazon as a "surreptitious and covert business strategy to accrue background and credit card information" is pure original research and your personal bias. This sort of conspiracy theory is absolutely inappropriate. I have not blocked you as you claim, I have asked you to abide by Wikipedia's core content policies. I will, however, block you if you continue to vandalize Wikipedia articles by adding unsourced information and your own personal biases and original research.
If you want to leave me further messages, use my talk page, not my user page. Thanks, Gwernol 01:43, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I never said you were lying about the credit card verification, I said that you did not have a source. I also said that your conclusion about Amazon's motivations was original research. Please read WP:V and WP:OR which are core content policies on Wikipedia. If you want to include information about the facts of the credit card verification, find a published, independent source. First hand experience is not acceptable on Wikipedia. Your personal theories about Amazon's motivations are definitely not appropriate and should not be repeated.

Here ya go. With Amazon accnt. http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/1151/ama33dz2.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericg33 (talkcontribs)
That is neither published not independent. Please read WP:V and its associated guidelines to understand that you are not a reliable source for Wikipedia's purposes. Have you read any of what I have written? Simply taking a screenshot is not the same as locating a published, independent, reliable source, is it? Nor does this address, in the slightest, the question of the original research you want to place in the article about Amazon's motives. As I said above, this is not a question about whether you are right it is a question of whether you can provide sources to show you are right. Taking a screenshot is not at all the same thing as providing a source. Gwernol 09:23, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

You can't shield yourself from an admin by going on the attack, although this is not why I've blocked you. Rather, you carried forth putting unhelpful content onto a talk page after I warned you to stop doing so. Having reviewed your contribution history yesterday, I have blocked you for three months. This length is owing to two things: The many requests and warnings you've gotten have not swayed you from making non-encyclopedic edits to this privately owned website and you don't edit so often that a short block would do much to stop you.

Really? So all of these warnings on your talk page are just placed randomly because someone had some spare time and decided to choose you, of all people, to post made up warnings? Well you wanted evidence, Talk:Bodybuilding and Talk:Bodybuilding supplement are two easy examples - where you're wasting other editors time argueing your own made up theories that do nothing to help improve the article. I could dig even deeper into your contributions, (Talk:The Phantom Edit[2]048, Talk:Ewok[3], Talk:J. K. Rowling [4] are just a few), where WP:NOTFORUM is being ignored on your part. --Quartet 12:51, 30 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
And what does that prove? I added information. Not opinion. Protein is created in the body. And George Lucas profits off of toys from his movies. Maybe thats why they were making more silly characters. And all these edits were ON THE TALK PAGE. What is your point? Obviously you have a petty grudge. I am already writing about unfair block to other moderators. I hope they give you the same treatment.
Ericg33, regardless of wether or not it's on the talk pages of articles, you're still posting your own opinion, your own theories and your own WP:OR - original research - that is not aimed at improving the article. Protein is not created in the body (if it was, one would never have to acquire essential amino acids from foods in order to live), it's only your opinion that it is, but it's not scientific fact, which makes the dicussion of it not useful in creating an encyclopedia. Especially when it's something that's so obvious. The same thing with your opinions on protein supplements not being proven to work, George Lucas, home remedies for ingrown toenails and other posts that are better suited to discussion forums. You recieved numerous warnings about this, and yet you still blatantly did whatever you wanted. I doubt any administrator will consider this block unfair (and they certainly won't block anyone else for having a made up "petty grudge" - there are 12 editors here who have warned you, not just one or two). Hopefully you'll use the next three months to do a little research. --Yankees76 (talk) 20:51, 30 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
Over a 9 month period, various editors have warned him about various things, often without linking to exactly what he was doing.

You ban someone for three months over something minor, and then silence them from protesting on their own talk page. That seems rather brutal. It sounds like someone just got upset he reverted their erasing of his information he felt valid to include, without explaining it properly. This could've been worked out without a three month ban. If it was a combination of things in the past, then list what they were exactly. I clicked on the link provided for one, [5] but it shows something done by a different editor, not involving him at all. Dream Focus 23:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dream Focus I think you should dig a little deeper. Personal attacks are not "something minor". Plus as was noted above, one only needs to count the warnings on this page - warnings for vandalism, talk page nonsense, personal attacks, edit warring, NPOV violations. I warned him twice myself for adding nonsense and posting unhelpful information on talk pages. User:Orangemike and User:Ohnoitsjamie, two - administrators have also placed warnings, along with a final warning last July from User:Gwernol who is also an admin and more warnings from Canterbury Tail.

February 2011 edit

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Oxyhydrogen. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
  3. 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 wording, and content 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 edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. VQuakr (talk) 18:51, 20 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

 

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Nikolaus Otto, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

  • If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
  • If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. VQuakr (talk) 17:04, 22 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I see you've had many prior warnings regarding talk page etiquette including several blocks, so I'm not inclined to assume good faith that you didn't know this. I suggest you thoroughly read and follow Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines if you wish to avoid further warnings/blocks. -- œ 02:00, 17 July 2011 (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   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. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 01:53, 24 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

July 2011 edit

  Please do not use talk pages such as Talk:Contessa Brewer ‎ for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 02:19, 24 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

August 2011 edit

  Please do not use talk pages such as Talk:Shutdown (nuclear reactor) to pointlessly state that you do not like the article. They are for discussion related to improving the article. See here for more information. Thank you. - Talk:Shutdown (nuclear reactor)

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Jenilee Harrison, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 19:21, 13 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

I am unsure why you feel the need to repeatedly refer to Jenilee Harison's hair color at Regggie Jackson. I've removed it again. If there is some encyclopedic reason to include this, please explain. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 13:34, 17 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not use talk pages such as Talk:Lower Manhattan Development Corporation for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article.

Changes to article edit

Edit warring edit

Please stop your edit warring at Single-cylinder engine. Three separate editors think that image is inappropriate. If you believe it should be used then please explain your rationale on the article's talk page rather than keep reverting other people. You might also want to read WP:3RR which explains why edit warring is discouraged and the consequences for continuing to do it. --Biker Biker (talk) 10:25, 3 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

December 2011 edit

Please avoid edits such as this. Your personal opinion is best checked at the door. Thanks, m.o.p 17:49, 9 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

January 2012 edit

I'm not sure why you believe racial differences in relationships are important.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Unless reliable sources find some importance it, your additions will continue to be reverted. - SummerPhD (talk) 05:21, 21 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Let me be as clear as I can. You seem to have trouble with our policies including, but not limited to WP:NPOV, WP:V, WP:BLP and a few others. Wikipedia articles cannot be used as sources for other Wikipedia sources. Your interpretation of what is going on in a photograph is not usable as a source for two people being a couple. Your wish to include that it is horrors! a mixed race relationship does not make it relevant. If you don't understand any of this, ask before editing. Not "understanding" is not an excuse for repeatedly violating core policies. In short, please knock it off. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:40, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Eric, I would like to reiterate what SummerPhD has clearly explained to you above. The information you are trying to add emphasizing biracial relationships is poorly sourced, trivial and does not belong in an encyclopedia. Your focusing on this undue trivial bit of personal info in BLPs is disruptive and needs to stop. Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 17:43, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

blocked edit

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 6 months for chronic disruptive editing. Looking over your talk page and edit history, it is hard to find an interval where you haven't been edit-warring, including poorly sourced material (or, worse yet, completely unsourced material), or adding personal perspective into articles.. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Out of the blue edit

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

You're going to block me because of previous edits 5 months ago! LOL. Are you kidding. Don't for a minute think you have anyone fooled. You talked with your other editors and you said we need to get this guy. My edit were accurate. Are you really going to ban me because i included information on someones real name and religion in the TALK section. Are you kidding? This place is a joke. You're showing bias of the censoring liberal kind. Political correctness at it's worst.

Decline reason:

It's not about edits five months ago. Read through the warnings on this talk page. It's about persistent and continuous disregard of the policies on WP:Biographies of living persons, WP:Verifiability and WP:Reliable sources. JohnCD (talk) 23:36, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Four years of editing and you're still posting unsourced material and using the talk pages as a forums? And you wonder why you're blocked. Really? Do you read anything anyone posts on here? --Quartet 23:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
And i never was in any serious edit war with anyone. Are you kidding? Unsourced material? on relationships? Come on, that's just silly. An Entertainers private life is off bounds? At least i used a reference and didn't make it up. This is about SummerPHD who has an axe to grind. --Ericg33 (talk) 23:27, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Amazing. All these years and WP:BLP and WP:RS still escapes you. --Quartet 23:34, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Eric, considering your problematic history, ignoring repeated warnings from several editors, repeated blocks and refusal to learn anything from those blocks, a six month block is rather mild. If you continue to argue that you've done nothing wrong and that it's a conspiracy to "get" you, you can very reasonably expect this block to be made indefinite. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:40, 24 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

SummerPHD has said numerous times she wants me banned for mentioning the boyfriend as being African American. Nobody said mixed race was wrong. SUMMERPHD insinuated it though. She can guess motives even if they're wrong. That's pure liberal political correctness fitting a european. Pure speech censorship. Everything i posted had a source too. Just vague rules on editing allowing editors to ban anyone they want.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericg33 (talkcontribs) 09:02, 26 January 2012

...and, a blast from the past edit

Please read this:

1. New messages (sections) on talk pages always go at the bottom. The '+' or 'new section' button automatically does this. 2. Sign your posts by writing ~~~~ after them. This expands to a proper signature. - SummerPhD (talk) 06:58, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hey my friend. Tell me this. Why are you the only one moderator watching my every single addition?--Ericg33 (talk) 00:26, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
They're certainly not the only one, they are however expending quite a bit of their time and energy attempting to explain how Wikipedia works to you though. I strongly suggest you begin listening. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 20:10, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
They're not the only ones following you, and really with the number of blocks you've endured you shouldn't be suprised. Ever since you claimed that you don't need to eat protein to build muscle because it's created within the body[20], I've been following your edits. They've provided countless hours of amusing WP:TALKNO material. --Yankees76 Talk 20:54, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
You don't need lots of protein to build muscles! Look at prisoners. Regards!--Ericg33 (talk) 21:32, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

The take home message here, Ericg33, is pretty simple: You've been warned. You're being watched. Your last block was 6 months. Your next block, should you choose to go there, will likely be indefinite. (If you'd like to discuss your theory that essential amino acids are not, um, essential, this isn't the place to do it.) - SummerPhD (talk) 21:55, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

June 2013 edit

  This is your last warning. The next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Strained yogurt, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. SummerPhD (talk) 03:05, 9 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Really? "It is accepted worldwide as a food with Turkish origins and still holds its original Turkish name in all languages." No references. No dice. Doc talk 11:26, 9 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
You don't know what your talking about Yogurt is a turkish word. It does need reference. --Ericg33 (talk) 08:53, 10 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Here's what I'm talking about: don't expect your proposed entry to survive in its current state. That is all. Doc talk 09:13, 10 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
What does it need then? I referenced it. Here's another reference to the word.http://www.turkishculture.org/culinary-arts/cuisine/yogurt-304.htm and http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoghurt
You included a ton of declarations and conjecture that are certainly not covered in the reference for the origin of the word. For example: "Food historians believe yogurt and other fermented milk products were first produced in Central Asia during the Neolithic Age." What "food historians"? I'm not going to argue this any further, as I am confident that the community agrees with me here. Please do better in the future. Doc talk 09:33, 10 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top.
The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). SummerPhD (talk) 02:50, 17 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
