3RR again edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

Blocked edit

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule . Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.
 
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:

In September I created a page for a police officer that was murdered in New York City named Russel Timoshenko. I don't know him nor do I have any connection to him. This page was unfortunately erased. Since that happened I decided to create one with an alternate spelling of his name Russell Timoshenko. This was erased as well. Since those pages were erased and I don't have authority to recreate them, I have had no choice but to add this notable qualifying person to lists on which he was previously attached. When saying notable, I mean this person's death was on the front page of every NYC newspaper for over a week. That is a lot more notability than more than half the people on those lists and more than half the articles on wikipedia for that matter. If someone should get blocked its editor WWGB, he has made a conscious effort to vandalize my contributions. I can only assume that he does out of request from editor:CyntWorkStuff brought to his attention due to her frustration with my contributions of Labor Day Carnival. That is not a blind guess-its hinted in their talk pages.

Decline reason:

Your request does not address why your edits did not violate the WP:3RR rule. That rule also applies to content disagreements. See WP:DR for how to proceed in such cases. — Sandstein 18:43, 10 November 2007 (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.

Final warning edit

Per this Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Russel_Timoshenko, the clear consensus is that while the death of Officer Timoshenko is tragic, he is not notable enough to merit an article in the encyclopedia. This includes including inserting links to the non-existant into other articles, which you have done repeatedly. Please see WP:BLP1E. Any further insertions will be viewed as disruption and may result in you getting blocked again. Please stop. henriktalk 19:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Last chance edit

I blocked you after you resumed your editing patterns directly after a block. However, per another administrator's warning ebove, I have unblocked you so that you can contribute constructive edits to Wikipedia. Any continuation, however, will result in an immediate and indefinite block. Please try to improve Wikipedia rather than disrupting it. Thankyou, ELIMINATORJR 19:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

January 2009 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Richard Gere has been reverted, as it introduced negative or controversial biographical material without providing a reliable source for this information. Wikipedia requires that all such material be sourced to address the issue of libel. Thank you. Chasingsol(talk) 10:38, 12 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Richard Gere. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Kelly hi! 07:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Richard Gere, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Kelly hi! 18:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

To amplify these warnings: the material and sourcing you're adding violate Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people. Wikipedia is not a tabloid or a venue to repeat rumors, even if those rumors are mentioned in motion pictures or animated TV comedies. If you continue edit-warring to insert this inappropriate material, your account will be blocked from editing. Please consider discussing these concerns on the article talk page.

Removal of most of Jennifer Fitzgerald edit

Judging by your edit history, it seems to be a rational conclusion that you did this as a way of disrupting Wikipedia to illustrate a point. Please cease and desist, or you will be blocked again. Daniel Case (talk) 22:27, 19 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

That article has a reliable source, a magazine article which discussed the rumor in great detail and attempted to assess its truth, itself relying on other sources, and doesn't say they were false. Nor was it the only article to do so. That's more than one instance of non-trivial coverage.

Whereas, as the about.com page you've used as a source mentions, the one attempt to verify left the National Enquirer reporter "convinced he was chasing an urban legend." (If you can find that Palm Beach Post story, and it's devoted totally to that rumor, you might have a more defensible source, but since as the about.com page notes Gere wasn't the only subject of that one (I do remember that myself from that era), I really don't think it's relevant. Two mentions in pop culture are also hardly enough to establish it as something meriting mention. Frankly, a whole section devoted to it, even just a paragraph, is a violation of WP:UNDUE in a BLP article, I think. (I suppose a better place to discuss it might be a more detailed, and thoroughly sourced, article on "gerbilling" as an urban legend, or a section in some other article with a redirect).

August 2023 edit

 

Your recent editing history at WABC (AM) 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; read about 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.

  Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to User talk:BlueboyLINY has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. BlueboyLINY (talk) 21:36, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Helicopters and NYPD edit

Use of helicopters to intimidate protesters was made illegal in September, and NYPD's use of the helicopters anyway against pro-Palestine protesters in New York City is in defiance of a court settlement which bans them from flying helicopters over protesters. Perhaps you were unaware; it is impossible to know everything. Nevertheless, I hope that this clarification of the law helps you to understand why I phrased NYPD's tactics as repression, because they are illegal.

Additionally, see here as to why Hell Gate is most likely a RS. You seem to edit for New York City sometimes as well, so this should be good news for you too as it was less clear before.
