May 2015 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 James Rhodes (pianist) has been reverted.
Your edit here to James Rhodes (pianist) 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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSjakSwUsdw) 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 media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:13, 26 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

  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.

Managing a conflict of interest edit

WordSeventeen, who created this section and added extensive material to it, has been blocked by Wikipedia for a month, and his Pending Changes Reviewer and Rollback rights have been revoked, for his disruptive editing practices, which included his disruptive editing of material I edited at James Rhodes page. The material he added to this section is part of his disruptive editing practices. Thus, I have made the text of his additions small (cannot figure out how to strike them out), but left it here so that his disruptive editing practices are easily apparent.)

  Hello, 131.191.80.213. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. WordSeventeen (talk) 01:47, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on James Rhodes (pianist). 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 that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. 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. WordSeventeen (talk) 02:07, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at James Rhodes (pianist). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

  • If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
  • If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. WordSeventeen (talk) 02:14, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on James Rhodes (pianist). If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. WordSeventeen is abusing policy to censor- there is no BLP issue whatsoever.) (rollback: 1 edit WordSeventeen (talk) 02:20, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion edit

  Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:131.191.80.213 reported by User:Tgeairn (Result: ). Thank you. Tgeairn (talk) 02:24, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Please use the article talk page to reach a consensus of what to add to the article. Repeatedly adding the material back (even with better sources, such as you did) just continues the edit warring and prevents editors from reaching an agreement. There's no rush to get something in, and the article will be better and stronger for having taken the time to reach consensus. Cheers! Tgeairn (talk) 03:16, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at Talk:James_Rhodes_(pianist)&oldid=664213027. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Stop your disruptive editing, edit warring, and personal attacks against a specific editor, or you may be blocked from editting by an administrator!

  Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page James Rhodes (pianist) has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do.

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at James Rhodes (pianist). Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Message left at [1] insinuating that a specific editor has misrepresented at the blp notice board despite that said editor included diffs. Making accusation s of "misrepresentation" without proof is clearly a personal attack upon a specific editor. This is the third warning for violations of WP:NPA Cut that stuff out!

This is a misrepresentation. The talk section will back this up. I will leave it at that; the focus needs to be on the issue raised above.131.191.80.213 (talk) 10:45 pm, Today (UTC−5) WordSeventeen (talk) 03:52, 27 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

WordSeventeen, whose disruptive editing practices caused him to create (in part) multiple sections above, has been blocked by Wikipedia for a month, and his Pending Changes Reviewer and Rollback rights have been revoked, due to his disruptive editing practices. I will leave those sections up so that if he continues his disruptive editing practices when his block expires, they will serve as evidence of his past history.
WordSeventeen's disruptive editing practices included extensive attempts to obfuscate the facts at the Admin notice board, as well as removing and changing information others had posted there. That notice board has more details on other disruptive practices he has engaged in.

April 2018 edit

  Hello, I'm CASSIOPEIA. I noticed that in this edit to RateMyProfessors.com, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 08:30, 16 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
