Welcome edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 70.44.154.16, removed content from the page Talk:United States presidential election, 2016 without giving an explanation. Please always provide an informative edit summary when removing content from pages. If 70.44.154.16 is a shared IP address and you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors and further irrelevant notices.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Here are some other hints and tips:

  • I recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
  • When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! A guy saved by Jesus (talk) 20:17, 17 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

February 2017 edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Neil Gorsuch. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Lepricavark (talk) 01:11, 1 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
I disagree, I feel my edit was very constructive and added to the biography of the future SCOTUS. 70.44.154.16 (talk) 00:32, 2 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

February 2017 edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Threatening the President of the United States, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Mojoworker (talk) 17:38, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

WOAH WOAH WOAH, What?!? I simply added an edit including a threat made against Trump. What disruptive edits? Can you please explain? 70.44.154.16 (talk) 18:52, 14 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
You removed the entire "History" section with your edit, removing 5,504 characters of sourced content – about one-eighth of the article. It sure looked like vandalism, and with the other notices on your talk page, it seemed like typical IP vandal behaviour. Mojoworker (talk) 21:24, 14 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
That was an honest mistake caused by a simple reference error, you could tell by the message from the ReferenceBot previous to this. 70.44.154.16 (talk) 01:25, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thank You edit

Comment on handshakes edit

Hey just a heads up, someone removed your comment from the AFD here, I left a message on their page when I saw it but they have not responded. You might want to check into adding it again. PackMecEng (talk) 01:31, 17 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the heads-up. 70.44.154.16 (talk) 01:51, 17 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

December 2017 edit

Please, stop removing the information about Russian trolls and their involvement in the U.S. national anthem protests debate. I provided credible sources that cannot be called into question.[1][2][3] Thank you. Cskamoscow100 (talk) 11:25, 9 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

I don't see how you challenged it. You just blanked the section using 'consensus' as a pretext. U.S. Congressman based his conclusions on data he had been provided with during this hearing. He isn't just an ordinary guy who might assume something based on his personal feelings or beliefs. If you don't like the name of the section, you can change it (to 'Reactions', for example).

You need consensus in order to make this controversial section, when you don't it can easily be challenged. 70.44.154.16 (talk) 23:35, 9 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

ANI notice edit

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is 70.44.154.16. —Bagumba (talk) 10:01, 11 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

How you can even tolerate his behavior is beyond me. 70.44.154.16 (talk) 21:54, 11 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
You were both edit warring. Another admin was perhaps close to blocking you because of some earlier warnings on your talk page about blanking content. In the future, I would advise you to don't use "no consensus" in your edit summary. State the reason why you think the content does not belong, like you later wrote "since its only by a single U.S. Congressman I find myself a little skeptical". Follow dispute resolution instead of back and forth reverting. I'm going to close the ANI with no action on either side. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 05:54, 14 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
How many damn times do I have to explain that was a mistake. How does he get off with making multiple mistakes cause he was a new user but for me its a different story. Christ sake. 70.44.154.16 (talk) 12:55, 14 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
BTW That was one time too, so I can get fucking persecuted for one section-blanking months ago that was a mistake yet an entire investigation is centered around ME when I wasn't even properly informed of it nor given enough time to respond (AN HOUR). Best I better expect unfair and one-sided admins blocking me in the future. 70.44.154.16 (talk) 13:06, 14 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
Nobody got blocked here, so both of you "got off", if that's how you want to look at it. Of course there are some trigger-happy admins, so I was just giving you a heads up.—Bagumba (talk) 13:56, 14 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

January 2018 edit

  Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Donald Trump. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. ―Mandruss  21:15, 10 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

That clown is running wild on that page forcing his slanted worldview on others, he's currently accused two editors now of incompetence if he can do that I don't see why I can't state the obvious. 70.44.154.16 (talk) 23:28, 10 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
His style is more blunt than mine and EvergreenFir's, but his criticism was accurate and that's what matters at Wikipedia. You showed a serious lack of policy knowledge (editing competence) to weigh in on a weighty question like that one, especially in such a confrontational manner. Even forgiving that, you ignored the policy information (BLPCRIME) linked immediately prior to your opening comment there, effectively saying "fuck policy". Most experienced Wikipedia editors respond negatively to "fuck policy", or they shouldn't be Wikipedia editors. The combination of your incompetence and your aggressiveness just begged for a response like his. Zigzig20s did the same thing eariler, and got a similar response.
In contrast, your comment that I removed was a baseless, ad hominem insult, qualifying it as a personal attack. First, his comment there was not "nonsense", as I said. Second, even if it were nonsense, that would be far from "the only thing [he's] good at". ―Mandruss  00:48, 11 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Reread what you purged again, its clear you failed to understand what I was conveying. 70.44.154.16 (talk) 20:30, 11 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I've just spent two minutes re-reading it over and over, and I guess I'm too stoopid to see your point. If you're referring to the Fitting you redirect to them part, I fail to see how that changes what I said above. It's fairly routine to point to editors who support your position, so I'm not clear what you meant by "redirect". ―Mandruss  20:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
