  Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ian Botham, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

  Hello, I'm MrX. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Gary Numan, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - MrX 23:38, 18 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Gary Numan. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Gary Numan has renounced support for the Conservative Party. Unless you have sources that state that Numan is currently a supporter of the UK Conservative Party, you can not add that category. The article clearly says "He was an outspoken supporter of the Conservative Party and of Margaret Thatcher after her inauguration as Prime Minister. He later expressed regret for giving his public support,..."." Also, changing the category inclusion criteria as you did here is WP:GAMING the system. If you restore this category without sources, you may be blocked from editing. - MrX 23:54, 18 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Notice

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is New editor making usual edits to political party categories. Sock?. Thank you. - MrX 14:03, 19 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. Gamaliel (talk) 14:40, 19 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Iain Duncan Smith, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Japanese. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ed Schrock

edit

Please note that for WP:BLP reasons, people are not categorized as being LGBT on the basis of having been alleged to be LGBT by a tertiary source. No matter what anybody else says about Schrock's sexuality, he cannot be added to the category until he explicitly comes out as gay in a public statement emanating directly from him (or until he dies and somebody goes on the record with actual proof rather than a mere assertion.) For our purposes as an encyclopedia we're interested in a person's choice to publicly identify themselves with the LGBT community in the social and political sense — if that hasn't happened, then they're not "LGBT", in the sense that's relevant to us, regardless of what anybody else who isn't them claims to know about their private sex lives.

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Tarsem King, Baron King of West Bromwich. You are piling up the BLP violations. I just reverted three or four edits of yours where you categorized without verification in the article, and I reverted you (again?) on List of American federal politicians convicted of crimes. This must stop or you will be blocked until you promise you will stop. Read the BLP, please. Drmies (talk) 14:14, 30 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
