Welcome!

Hello, Wicorbottt, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  Pbritti (talk) 19:44, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Please note that you are also engaging in edit warring behavior. Further edit warring can result in a block. ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:52, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. —C.Fred (talk) 21:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

• Please review the definition of vandalism before you accuse another editor of it. In the case of the David O. Sacks article, New Republic is known for a biased presentation but is a reliable source per WP:RSPS. —C.Fred (talk) 03:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
  • Final warning regarding wrongly accusing an editor of vandalism. Disagreeing with you is not vandalism, especially when your edits violate policy. ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

    The fact that we disagree doesn't mean you're right. Wicorbottt (talk) 17:40, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

    PS: I'm aware that none of this reflects well on Johnson. But these are the facts. The Wikipedia page on Charles Manson doesn't show him in a good light either. Wicorbottt (talk) 17:59, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

    Citing opinion pieces, drawing connections between events that were not made in reliable sources, using strictly POV language in wikivoice, and a number of MOS issues are all the basis for the reversion. Additionally, Wikipedia handles deceased, convicted criminals differently from living politicians; please review Wikipedia's BLP policy to expand your understanding of that distinction. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:23, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

    The comparison with Manson was sarcasm; you missed it. Wicorbottt (talk) 19:05, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's harassment policy, you may be blocked from editing. Using undisclosed personal information on Wikipedia is explicitly prohibited by policy. Any further harassment or other serious incivility will likely result in an indefinite block. ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry if I hurt your feelings; that was not my intention. I only want to make positive contributions and am grateful for constructive criticism. Wicorbottt (talk) 20:06, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Wicorbottt reported by User:Pbritti (Result: ). Thank you. Pbritti (talk) 19:27, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician)) for a period of 2 weeks 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 review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:50, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
