Highway destinations

Hi - When you edit junction lists for state highway articles, please make sure that the destinations given match those that are signed on the highways. You can use Streetview or similar mapping viewer to do this. Please do not add or subtract destinations based on your own feelings about what cities or towns should be listed. Please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Road junction lists for more information. Thanks, --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:12, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm going to have to repeat my message. You need to read the Manual of Style for road junction lists, as linked above. Do not continue to change highway destinations to places that are not on the signs. Thank you, --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:15, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at New Hampshire Route 13. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

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. You are ignoring requests to abide by the Manual of Style for Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Road junction lists. Please stop changing the destinations on junction lists. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:34, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

I would like you to respond to this message and indicate that you have read the Manual of Style page for road junction lists. Go to the section "Tables", "Standard columns", and read the bullet for "Destinations": "Locations and roads as presented on guide signs for the junction. Other locations should not be listed unless that location is extremely notable and well known; an entry in the notes column such as "Serves Missouri State University" can be used. Routes not indicated on the guide signs may be included in parentheses." Over the last two months you have been working on dozens of highway junction lists, adding destinations that are not presented on guide signs, with no notes, with no parentheses. I would advise not using "extremely notable and well known" as a justification for routine overwriting of what are on the guide signs. If you continue to change destinations as you have been doing, it will mean that you will be increasing the level of your disruptive editing. You are putting a lot of work into these articles, which unfortunately must frequently be undone. Please redirect your energy so as to be working in concert with the roads project. Thank you. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:29, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

You are continuing to insert highway destinations that violate the standards of Wikiproject Roads and have failed to respond to any attempts to discuss this.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:51, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Discussion continued

Hi Oliver Wendell, I'm glad to see you're finally engaging in discussion about how to list destinations in the highway road junction lists. Let me once again highlight the relevant passage in the bullet for "Destinations": Locations and roads as presented on guide signs for the junction. Other locations should not be listed unless that location is extremely notable and well known; an entry in the notes column such as "Serves Missouri State University" can be used. Routes not indicated on the guide signs may be included in parentheses. This is pretty clear. You always use the signed destinations. If you wish to add Worcester, I would do it only in extremely rare instances, and only as parenthetical additions. We are striving for consistency across all of Wikipedia for these road junction lists, and the way we achieve consistency is to abide by the standards set in the Wikipedia Roads project. Please don't try to overthink this to try to justify why you should be using your method instead. That's not how we achieve consistency, and as I've said before, it instead is classic WP:Disruptive editing. --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Massachusetts Route 2A. --Ken Gallager (talk) 14:53, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Discussion on US Roads

You are invited to join a discussion at the Wikiproject US Roads talk page on road junction lists (WT:RJL) regarding applying the signage standard for destinations. I hope to see you there. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:48, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

I've moved the discussion to the actual US Roads talk page (WT:USRD). Please respond there. Thanks, --Ken Gallager (talk) 13:12, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}.  Jayron32 13:06, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

I have put a 1-month block on this account, primarily for 2 reasons. 1) Despite repeated reminders of long-standing article format standards, you have continued to change articles against these agreed upon standards 1) Despite repeated requests to discuss your editing and repeated invitations to explain why you are editing against standards, you have refused to engage in any discussion with other. This is a collaborative project, refusal to work with others is not acceptable, and it is not acceptable to simply ignore repeated invitations to enter into discussions. This account may be unblocked before the block expires if you can acknowledge both of these issues, and will agree to change your behavior, especially to agree to abide by the established standards and agree to respond reasonably when people ask you questions or invite you into discussions or warn you that you aren't doing things right. You may, of course, let the block expire on its own, but if you do so and return to the same problems, you may be blocked for a longer period of time. --Jayron32 13:06, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Response to Block

Forgive me Ken for my edits were deliberate. However, I felt that some things weren't right on the roads in terms of signs indicating towns and cities. I may be blocked four days ago for this for a month. Block me on the road junction editing for five more months, but do the same with other edits for two more days. I had to sign off as a result of this ban.

Thank you, I appreciate hearing from you. There are good reasons why the road destinations are listed the way that they are, even though they may appear incorrect to you. I don't understand your sentence that said "do the same with other edits for two more days". If I don't hear back from you before your block is over, I'll understand. If you are able to reply, please use four tildes at the end of your reply to leave a signature. --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:49, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Apology for the Deliberate Edits

Ken, I requested you and Jayron32 to extend the ban on any of my editing on wikipedia by two days (the edits on road junctions will be by five months now). I am no longer editing any road junctions once this ban expires. If you have to keep me blocked on editing them, do so if you must. Oliver Wendell 2009 (talk) 19:52, 18 May 2020 (UTC) Oliver Wendell 2009

Please don't edit while logged out.

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Please note that, as discussed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Oliver Wendell 2009, it appears that you were making a deliberate attempt to evade a block, which is not a good thing. Once this block expires, please make sure you are logged in at all time when editing. Thanks. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:26, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Response with Unlogged/Attempted Edits

Correct. Well I requested Jayron32 and Ken Gallagher to block me by two more days for other edits and at least five months for the road signs, which I informed them I am no longer editing.

Nevertheless, depending on whether the block gets extended from its current end date, I will remain logged in. Thank you for the notification.

Oliver Wendell 2009 (talk) 14:29, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

My apologies guys, I constantly get logged out at times, but I have successfully managed to log back in and I don't know how long I'll stay logged in for depending on if I get logged out again. Oliver Wendell 2009 (talk) 16:46, 26 June 2020 (UTC)Oliver Wendell 2009

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:34, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

My Recent Reaction

User ‪Ohnoitsjamie‬, while I was discussing about my recent edit on the Lukashenko wikipedia article, I didn't think Lukashenko deserved a sixth term, even if he is in one right now despite being illegitimate. I added in his illegitimacy to the article on his sixth term because nobody, except Putin and his men, likes him anymore. Also, I avoided making any edits to highway destinations following my recent ban from editing such wikipedia articles. And Ohnoitsjamie, on the article related to the 2020 Belarusian protests, I made a correction to the quotes from the 13th week sub-article before u reverted them. Oliver Wendell 2009 (talk) 20:40, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Your opinions of whether or not he deserves a sixth term are not relevant here. Please carefully read WP:NPOV before making further edits. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:51, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. Oliver Wendell 2009 (talk) 20:56, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

November 2023

Hello, I'm HumanBodyPiloter5. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 07:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 07:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Oliver Wendell 2009! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
