Notice

edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

DavidWood11, it looks like somebody gave you an ARBIPA alert too early, before you knew what is what. But it means that, if you are not editing Wikipedia in accordance with its policies, you are liable to be sanctioned. You need to urgently review the policies mentioned in the Welcome message below. Please start with WP:Five pillars, and follow the links given there in order to understand what it all means.
The discussion you are making at Talk:The_Wire_(India)#Avoid_Synthesis is firmly against the policies of Wikipedia. If you continue in this manner you are liable to get sanctioned. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:54, 9 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
I have having a healthy consensus discussion going on the talk page, what is the problem? DavidWood11 (talk) 10:51, 9 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Your statement "It is irrelevant that how many media outlets have covered any incident" is the problem. Because WP:Five pillars tells you, "We strive for articles in an impartial tone that document and explain major points of view, giving due weight for their prominence." Do you understand what that means? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:53, 9 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Plz provide the whole sentence that i have given. I think you have cherry picked one line out of context. DavidWood11 (talk) 10:56, 9 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Use of capitals in edit summary

  Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:The Wire (India) are for discussion related to improving (a) an encyclopedia article in specific ways based on reliable sources or (b) project policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 09:46, 8 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your advice, plz let me know where to discuss the quality of news outlets like The Wire (India). DavidWood11 (talk) 06:13, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
The correct venue would be the reliable sources noticeboard. — Newslinger talk 09:04, 9 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Tayi Arajakate Talk 06:13, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Point out my commentary/analysis in the article if you find any. DavidWood11 (talk) 06:27, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
    In Special:Diff/1017509144, you titled a section called "Voting appeal on communal grounds", the only mention of "communal grounds" in the cited article is in the line stating that "a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) delegation, led by Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, lodged a complaint with the EC alleging that Banerjee was demanding votes on “communal grounds." This notice is also in reference to your general pattern of editing. Tayi Arajakate Talk 06:46, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Yogi Adityanath, you may be blocked from editing. Tayi Arajakate Talk 07:44, 21 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising, as you did at Yogi Adityanath. Tayi Arajakate Talk 09:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Final warning

It is clear that you are not here to contribute to building an encyclopaedia but rather to push your POV. Any further edits like this and your editing privileges will be revoked.—SpacemanSpiff 07:21, 4 July 2021 (UTC) Discuss how DavidWood11 (talk) 07:24, 4 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Extended protect access

edit

Hi , requesting extended protected access. Thanks

WP:RFPP is the correct venue for that. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:10, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
I don't think so, Jonesey95; WP:RFPP is for requesting protection of specific pages. David Wood, I'm not aware of any other way to get access to editing extended confirmed-protected pages than to fulfill the conditions described at WP:ECP: for your account to have at least 30 days' age (which it does) and at least 500 edits (which it does not). The idea of adding ec protection to pages is to allow only experienced users to edit them. You are a fairly inexperienced user, with 164 edits as I type this, even though you registered 9 months ago. Note, however, that you can request edits to an extended confirmed-protected page by proposing them on its talk page, using the {{Edit extended-protected}} template if necessary to gain attention. Hope this helps. Bishonen | tålk 18:15, 4 October 2021 (UTC).Reply
I was mistaken that there is no other way, David: requests can be made at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Extended confirmed. However, that is more of a technicality, since it says, "Unless you are requesting confirmation for a legitimate alternate account your request will almost certainly be denied."

Edit warring at The Wire (India)

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on The Wire (India). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

  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 and 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. -- Toddy1 (talk) 13:05, 10 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Plz see this and this talk going on at the talk page of the relevent page. DavidWood11 (talk) 14:14, 10 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please read WP:NOTVANDALISM. Describing edits that you disagree with as "vandalism" is not helpful.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:42, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 09:06, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Twice now, here and here the issue with your competency has come up. Both times you disappeared until the discussion was archived. This needs to be addressed before you are allowed to edit again. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 09:08, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Dear Admins
I was editing wiki pages mostly occasionally and as per my availability from my busy schedules as per guidelines and five pillars of wikipedia. In case of disputes i always preferred using talk pages of articles and other editors like this, this, this, this, this thisthis this. However, today i was blocked, despite my best practice to engage with other editor in a civil manner. Requesting an unblock. DavidWood11 (talk) 12:02, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Your unblock request will gain more attention if you employ the unblock template as instructed in your block notice. However, I would most certainly decline the request as posted. You have in no way addressed the issue(s) that resulted in your block. Please read WP:GAB before submitting another request. Tiderolls 13:11, 12 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

DavidWood11: I'm hesitant to say this since it should be WP:NOTTHEM anyway but I feel I should point out there's an inherent contradiction between claiming you have a "best practice to engage with other editor in a civil manner" and you seeing you made a false accusation of vandalism very recently [5] [6] [7]. A false accusation of vandalism is a personal attack and therefore is inherently not civil and it's even worse when you feel the need to repeat it in 3 different places.

As for your disappearance whenever your editing was called into question before, even if we accept that you genuinely didn't have time previously when questions were raised, you still needed to deal with it when you did have time. This means reading what was said, taking onboard and comments about your behaviour and seeking feedback where needed to improve. But whatever, that's also in the past.

You now need to demonstrate you understand how you've gone wrong and how you will try to avoid such mistakes in the future to be unblocked. So take a read of the most recent thread and the previous threads about your behaviour, take a read of the relevant guidelines and policies and ask questions if you're still confused. Just saying you didn't really do anything wrong is not going to cut it.

Request reason:

See, Discussing about ::::(a) my action WP:NOTTHEM e.g. my accusation of vandalism on Tayi Arajakate, or ::::(b) my accusations on others related to off wiki-co-ordinated attack on me ::::is subjective, and i was and always will be defending them via talk pages or ANI notice board as the case maybe. ::::# I have read the essay WP:VANDAL before leveling my accusations, and i am ready to defend my action in a proper way. ::::#As, far as my backlog ANI notice.

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Tiderolls 12:19, 13 October 2021 (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.

DavidWood11, if you click on the link marked block log (next to your name in the header of the unblock request) it says:
  • Competency is required. Twice before this user's behavior has come to ANI and twice they waited it out until it was archived. Since they are an occasional editor a short term block will not work. Can be unblocked when a clear plan to address the many issues on this talk page is made.
If you look at the block notice above it says:
