  Hello, I'm LakesideMiners. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Tyler Cowen— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. LakesideMinersMy Talk Page 17:39, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Tyler Cowen. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. LakesideMinersMy Talk Page 17:40, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Tyler Cowen, you may be blocked from editing. This warning is for improper synthesis of sources. LakesideMinersMy Talk Page 20:08, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your note LakesideMiners. Can you please explain what you believe is incorrect in the edit? It has been adjusted to accurately reflect the original news source but another user keeps deleting it. Santiagobernstein (talk) 21:20, 30 November 2018 (UTC)SantiagobernsteinReply

Santiagobernstein, I looked at the reference that you sourcred. No where does it say in the source that you used that she is a social liberal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tyler_Cowen#Commentary_about_views_on_gay_marriage there is also something on the talk page about this.

LakesideMiners, in the paragraph immediately preceding (footnote 18), Cowen, explicitly and in his own words, describes himself as "a liberal on most but not all social issues." If you'd like, we can cite that article again in the note. Thanks for your interest. Further, Cowen is a "he", not a "she." Santiagobernstein

Edit summaries and signatures

edit

We can talk about the Tyler Cowen issue at Talk:Tyler Cowen#Commentary about views on gay marriage‎, but I wanted to raise a couple of ancilliary issues with you. You've been on Wikipedia a lot longer than I have, but your user contributions history indicates that you have seldom used an edit summary to explain the reason for you changes. Edit summaries are very helpful to other editors.

Also, in your recent interactions, I've seen that you sometimes sign with just your username, but without using the signature facilities that WP provides, so your signature does not include a link to your talk page or to your user talk page as required. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 21:19, 2 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Let's modify that: it looks like the bare username was a consequence of a copy-paste from your user talk page. Are you signing with just three tildes? Normally, we use four tildes so a timestamp is included with the comment. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 21:23, 2 December 2018 (UTC)Reply


Please Stop

edit

Could you please stop making the edit to Tyler Cowen? Me and another user are trying to work with you to establish consensus on the talk page. But you are refusing to. It would be VERY helpful if you were to answer our questions on the talk page of the article. Also, please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~), not with just your username.

Please be aware that you are in danger of violating the three revert rule (informally, as they did not occur within 24 hours, but you are just reverting the same change over and over). At this point, you should discuss the change in the talk page, not the edit summary and not through continued reverts. You've been reverted by two different editors, which suggests that it is not a single person preventing your edit, but there is a single person pushing it. Also, please look at the text of the article under "tenure": The term "good behavior" is understood to mean justices may serve for the remainder of their lives, unless they are impeached and convicted by Congress, resign, or retire.
