March 2012 edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at East Lancashire derby. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:39, 10 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at East Lancashire derby, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Stop removing half of the article, and stop changing it to use nonsense words like "Scotishy" -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:52, 10 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Also please note that the article is about the first team derby - the youth teams are not relevant -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:56, 10 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Look at the history of the article, here. Your changes were removing 38,023 bytes from it, which is more than half the article! Here is the difference between the previous version and yours - scroll down and you'll see you kept removing the entire second half of the article. Also, repeatedly replacing the word "Scottish" with "Scotishy" is plain vandalism. Finally, as I told you, the article is about the first team derby, and a youth side match is *not* their next scheduled encounter - the next will be the first teams' meeting next season. If you repeat this behaviour when your block expires, including edit-warring without even previewing to see how badly you are destroying the article, you will be blocked for longer - possibly indefinitely -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:17, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

next season - oh so when we are in the prem and burnley are down in league one like this ;- Premier League (Blackburn Rovers) Championship League One (Burnley)

unless that really clear description is not understandable to you - you are wrong - who says there will be a cup meeting next season?

I never said anything about a cup meeting - I simply pointed out that the article is about first team derbies, and the youth team is not the first team and is therefore not relevant. Currently, the date of the next meeting between the two first teams is unknown, and so it is currently left blank. But if you want to argue that youth team meetings should be included, you can suggest that on the article Talk page after you are unblocked - you need to get a consensus to agree with you before you add it again. But the real reason you are blocked, as I think you now understand, is that you really were removing half the article, were adding nonsense words like "Scotishy", and were edit-warring to repeat your changes. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:02, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

i didn't know that i deleted half the article

Decline reason:

3 times you have removed 38000b of information. You have been told to stop. You were not reverting vandalism, you were the vandal. During this brief block, please return to the 5 pillars of Wikipedia, and try to gain some WP:COMPETENCE in communicating and editing, or else you will find yourself permanently blocked shortly (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:20, 11 March 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.

Well, I *told* you that you were removing half the article, above - see where it says "Stop removing half of the article"? However, if you agree to stop reverting my fixing of the article, agree to stop adding silly words like "Scotishy", and agree to stop edit-warring over the addition of the youth team meeting (you can propose it on the article's Talk page and seek consensus for it), I am prepared to unblock you. I await your answer -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:09, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

i agree - my brother mas on my wii (internet capable) and vandalised that page - therefore i decided to get rid of that vandalism - what i didnt know was that the word "scotishy" was in there or that half the article was deleted (i had not a clue what the numbers next to the edits were!)

No, you were not removing your brother's vandalism, you were putting it back after it had already been removed. And you did know that "Scotishy" was in there, *because I told you so*, above. And even if you hadn't understood what you were doing, you were being warned about it, but were simply ignoring those warnings and carrying on reverting. And you are also still arguing above, saying "unless that really clear description is not understandable to you - you are wrong", when it is *you* who does not understand what you are being told. Now, this block is short, so instead of my unblocking you, I suggest you use the time to read and understand the links given to you by BWilkins and think about changing your attitude. When you receive warnings, you need to stop what you are doing and pay attention to what you are being told. And if you don't fully understand, just say so. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:40, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

well these facts are now here;-

I am 10 I started editing at age 6 (on an IP) I created an account on 10.03.2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4evarovers (talkcontribs) 12:58, 11 March 2012‎

I'd caution against disclosing too much personal information, especially as you are young. But your young age is even more reason why you should listen to what experienced adult editors here are saying, not argue, and not make patronising comments like "unless that really clear description is not understandable to you.." Remember, you're not arguing with other kids on a football fan site here, you're dealing with adults on a serious academic project. Having said that, we really want young people to come to the project and stay, and if you are prepared to listen and learn, I'm sure there are many editors here who will be happy to help you on your way to becoming a great contributor. Oh, and when you comment on Talk pages you should add "~~~~" to the end of each comment, and that will be magically transformed into your signature, so people can see who is saying what and when. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:18, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

That was an isolated instance of vandalism (the only one in the past 5 years in fact), which I'm afraid I can't provide mitigating circumstances for other than I believe that the person in the article in question isn't a very good person based on football matters; however my edit was unwarranted and doesn't belong on Wikipedia, I accept that with no qualms whatsoever. My last instance of vandalism before that was March 2012, over 5 years ago, which covers a very significant part of my lifetime. Looking through my contributions, I did make 1 useful edit to a page, albeit a minor one on a page that was edited frequently. If you consider 1 minor act of vandalism in over 5 years to be enough to decline another unblock request, then fair enough, this is a serious project and if you feel I can't contribute effectively then I'm not sure what convincing I could do, without proving what edits I can make. 4evarovers (talk) 23:18, 11 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

This is misleading. You had no edits from April 2013 to December of 2016. Almost every edit you have made was vandalism, except for the posts to your talk page here. It's an "isolated instance" with the edit in 2016, because it's the ONLY instance in 3 years. Nothing in your editing history suggests that you are looking to contribute constructively.
