Censorship

Please note WP guidelines: "Wikipedia will not remove content because of the internal bylaws of some organizations that forbid information about the organization to be displayed online. Any rules that forbid members of a given organization, fraternity, or religion to show a name or image do not apply to Wikipedia because Wikipedia is not a member of those organizations."

Verifiability

Please note WP guidelines: "Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be replaced without an inline citation to a reliable source... Sometimes editors will disagree on whether material is verifiable. The burden of identifying a reliable source lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing any reliable source that directly supports the material."

Please sign all of your comments on talk pages

Please sign all (!) of the comments you inserted in Nichiren Shoshu talk. "Signing your posts on talk pages, both for the article and non-article namespaces, is good practice, and facilitates discussion by helping identify the author of a particular comment. Other users can then navigate to a talk page and address their comments to the specific, relevant user(s)." (see Wikipedia:Signatures) JimRenge (talk) 19:56, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Oh, yes. Thank you for the reminder. Scandiescot (talk) 05:47, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Please do wait until consensus on matter is found

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators can block users from editing if they repeatedly vandalize. Thank you.

"Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalizing. Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful." Reliable source: Wikipedia:Vandalism. You're welcome. Scandiescot (talk) 14:08, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

′Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content, in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. Examples of typical vandalism are adding irrelevant obscenities and crude humor to a page, illegitimately blanking pages, and inserting obvious nonsense into a page. Abusive creation or usage of user accounts and IP addresses may also constitute vandalism.

Vandalism is prohibited. While editors are encouraged to warn and educate vandals, warnings are by no means necessary for an administrator to block.So far this is a warning, nothing more, nothing less. WAIT until issue is resolved. --Catflap08 (talk) 14:16, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Key phrase: "in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia."

"WAIT until issue is resolved." See above, "Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content is not vandalism..." Scandiescot (talk) 14:49, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

This is not about content in terms of text as another user has pointed out earlier. You simply remove information even though the discussion is still going on. NO consensus has been reached, NO decision been made by Commons. --Catflap08 (talk) 15:07, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

"Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism. Edit warring over content [N.b. An image is content] is not vandalism. Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, detrimental but well-intentioned, and vandalizing. Mislabelling good-faith edits as vandalism can be considered harmful." Reliable source: Wikipedia:Vandalism. You're welcome. Scandiescot (talk) 20:34, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

You made quite clear in your first post where you are coming from – your sects bylaws. This site is not owned by Nichiren Shoshu nor SGI.--Catflap08 (talk) 20:50, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Yes, and I've also made it quite clear why that is relevant. WP guidelines for talk pages state, "Do not misrepresent other people".

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Theoderic the Great may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

On Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni, the message on the edit page is:

You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia.

You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them.

Editing from (my IPv6 address) has been blocked (disabled) by Berean Hunter for the following reason(s):

This network has been used improperly by someone on your network. It has therefore been blocked as a precaution to prevent abuse and damage to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia tries to be open, but we sometimes must block IP addresses to prevent editing by abusers, vandals, or block evaders. Anonymous editing and account creation may be currently blocked for this IP or range. Registered users, however, are still able to edit. These blocks can affect users who have done nothing wrong. If you are a legitimate user, follow the instructions below to edit despite the block. Users who are the intended target of a range block may still appeal the block.

If you do not have an account (IP editor): If you do not currently have an account and wish to bypass this block, an account can be created to allow you to edit. Please use this form to request an account under your preferred username. It may take a few days to process your request, but we will attend to it as fast as possible.

If you have an account (registered user): Please login to edit. (I am currently logged in as Scandiescot, but still see the error message.)

squelch sock account creation and IP socking, multiple sockmasters, one using long term

This block has been set to expire: 12:47, 16 September 2019.

Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators.
