ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Image in the Lou Reed article edit

Okay, have this pic for now. But as other editors disagree, please go to the talk page of the article and find a solution there. Thanks Gehenna1510 (talk) 18:04, 14 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

October 2020 edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Lou Reed. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. freshacconci (✉) 18:35, 14 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Lou Reed, you may be blocked from editing. Doctorhawkes (talk) 08:41, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, written and edited by users. As a user, I have a perfect right to change the profile picture on the Lou Reed page, in this case, reverting it back to a famous and well-known image of Reed that was already there (before you changed it). Such an edit is in no way "unconstructive" or "disruptive." What is your logic for such a comment? If anything, you're the one being unconstructive and disruptive, by making such a comment and by threatening me with the possibility of being banned from editing on Wikipedia. You don't own Wikipedia, and your word is, by no means, gospel. Perhaps I was a bit glib in my comment about Lou Reed looking "old" in the image that you uploaded; however, I do think the image of Reed as a young man represents his style and legacy more accurately than your choice, and unless you are able to satisfactorily justify your edit, then I will continue to revert it, within Wikipedia's guidelines of acceptable editing.

Hi! I didn't upload the file and I wasn't the person who introduced it to the page and I definitely don't have any power to "ban" you. I also don't feel very strongly about which pic is used (though I do prefer the older one). BUT, when people disagree on these matters, you need to seek consensus on the talk page. And if the majority disagree with you, you should move on. Doctorhawkes (talk) 00:10, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Lou Reed. freshacconci (✉) 12:17, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Two editors have disagreed with you: you should discuss on the talk page. So you're editing against consensus, and you're edit-warring. Worse, you're also doing it as an IP. I am going to block you for that. Drmies (talk) 22:37, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Just to let you know edit

I'm actually not an administrator, and yes, admins do make mistakes from time to time, but there are some admins that can handle this much better than the others. Zangoose&SeviperMan4055 (talk) 20:21, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

October 2020 edit

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
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 ~~~~}}.  Drmies (talk) 22:38, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
