February 2017 edit

 

Your recent editing history at List of Playboy Playmates of 1995 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove content, templates, or other materials to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to List of Playboy Playmates of 1995, you may be blocked from editing. Jm (talk | contribs) 01:16, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

A suggestion edit

Editors would much rather try to have you blocked than try to justify their own edits. I strongly suggest that you stop reverting and very patiently continue with your efforts to resolve the dispute following WP:DR. --Ronz (talk) 01:54, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

I might say it even more directly. You have to stop removing content for the specious reasons you've been offering. I agree (agreed!) that the sourcing of this article was substandard - but that's a reason to improve the sourcing, not blank content. The basic material on this page can easily be sourced right to Playboy.com, which - contrary to your assertion - is a perfectly acceptable source. I suggest - strongly - that you quit removing the parts of the article that you don't like. It's becoming disruptive, and, yes, disruptive editors wind up getting blocked. Thanks.

Please explain edit

Can you please explain why you chose this particular year - List of Playboy Playmates of 1995 - for such attention? --NeilN talk to me 04:53, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

I intend to continue other years as well. Richterer11111 (talk) 15:41, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Then you should have bundled all the year articles into one AFD or set up a RFC to discuss whether or not this class of articles meets notability requirements. It is counter-productive to have the same argument ~70 times. --NeilN talk to me 15:55, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Ok am unsure how to do that, can you assist. The simple facts are I am right on what I am arguing. Richterer11111 (talk) 17:06, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
If you want to delete a class of articles, you need to come up with reasons rooted in deletion policy as to why they should be deleted. "No sources and nothing noteworthy" won't cut it. If you want to open a RFC, please read WP:RFC, especially Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment#Statement_should_be_neutral_and_brief. --NeilN talk to me 17:36, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
I am simply saying that the content on this article is incorrect. Is that a point you agree with? I am unclear as to why I cant make these changes alone. Richterer11111 (talk) 18:09, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
"Incorrect content" is not a reason for deleting an article unless the article is a hoax. --NeilN talk to me 18:12, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Richterer11111, I hope you don't mind some friendly advice. I think it would be better if you put your concerns aside (especially those that impact multiple articles) and learn Wikipedia first. You're trying to jump into a topic that has been discussed at length. You won't get far without a much better knowledge of the articles involved and their history, the policies and guidelines involved, and the past discussions. You have some excellent points that I agree need addressing. However, the approach you've taken so far is too much like that of a vandal, which editors prefer to assume rather than address your content concerns. Give yourself some time, learn Wikipedia, and demonstrate this just isn't something that's personal to you. --Ronz (talk) 18:18, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
