August 2015

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Providence (religious movement), 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.

I have applied {{Xsign}} to rectify the timestamps.

I also noticed that you recently made edits while logged out as 180.149.192.133 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. This may not be desirable when editing a contentious article in work hours. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of more than one account or IP address by one person. -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 11:57, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

You can make a request with wp:oversight#Policy (policy #1) and request your IP be hidden.

I would recommend setting up your email in your Preferences (top right of page)/ User preferences tab / Email options (bottom of page) or, click here Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:14, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

"Woolly Woof"

In your latest edit of Talk:Providence (religious movement) you did not address my concern about you titling Peter Daley's Keimyung Gazette article "How to Spot a Woolly Woof" despite me noting that "a woolly woof" is slang for a homosexual.[1] Would you mind explaining this choice of words? -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 13:03, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk page conventions

Please use indentation so that others can follow conversations. Please see WP:TALKPAGE, specifically WP:THREAD. BTW: Multi-paragraph additions need to have each paragraph individually indented. You can go back and fix up your previous edits if others have not replied; specifically, if indenting would cause confusion. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 21:31, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Your recent post Diff of Talk:Providence (religious movement) is in the wrong section. Just below the notice saying: "Discussion on YTN retraction moved to its own section at → #YTN retractions". Do let me know if you need help with moving it. Cheers mate, -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 13:01, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

No worries, mate, I moved it for you. Anything else? -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 22:48, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Providence (religious movement) without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I have restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 03:12, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate that. Thank you, I will endeavor to accurately explain any edits. CollinsBK (talk) 11:22, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for disruptive editing. You are obviously here for the sole purpose of promoting and whitewashing Providence (religious movement) and Jung Myung-seok, by removing sources and sourced material for no good reason — claiming the text duplicated sources when it didn't, or that a source was "incorrect", whatever that may mean. You never make any attempt to fix any incorrectness, you just remove stuff, leaving the article impoverished. Your contributions list is a study in red (for removal), and all the removals have the same tendency: to remove criticism of the Providence movement and Jung Myung-seok. And when you add text it's invariably unsourced rhapsodies on the virtues of the two. Your editing has been a complete negative for Wikipedia, and you clearly have no respect for any of our principles. I have no idea why you have been left unblocked for so long. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bishonen | talk 21:37, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
