Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Amy Grant, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Boom! Studios. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 07:05, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to the Boom! Studios page. You requested citations supporting my contention that your recent attempts to remove Andrew Cosby as co-founder of the company were incorrect. This citation was promptly provided, as requested. but then you undid the edit anyway. ?? A simple google search for "Andrew Cosby co-founder" would easily demonstrate that your edits are factually incorrect. Numerous reliable news sources, press releases, articles, etc. attest to as much. Even Boom's own comics list Andrew Cosby as co-founder. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

(moved from user page by elektrikSHOOS (talk)) Once again I would respectively request that you stop making unnecessary and factually inaccurate edits to the Boom! Studios wiki page. There are many more reliable sources confirming Andrew Cosby as co-founder of Boom Studios than there are sources denying this. In fact. it would appear as if this is a fairly recent occurrence involving interviews with ROss Richie, which would suggest it has more to do with Mr. Cosby's exiting the company than it has to do with his status as co-founder, which again is well documented. Los Angeles Times, Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Bloomberg, IMDB, AICN, CBR, Deadline, Reuters, Geek Tyrant, Dread Central, and countless other sources confirm this, and have been doing so for years, whereas you continue to site the same couple of sources. Boom's own publications listed Andrew Cosby as co-founder for years. So does Cosby's wikipedia page, which, if you check the page's history, clearly shows was originally set up by Ross Richie himself. So either Mr. Richie was lying then, or he is lying now. Either way, this obviously indicates he is not a reliable source on the matter. Truthsayer2012 (talk) 03:07, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

13 February 2012

Please refrain from making edits to the Boom! Studios page that remove mentions of Andrew Cosby's contributions to the company and his well established role as co-founder. As requested, I've added more recent and reliable sources to support this contention. Also, numerous issues of Boom's own comics list Andrew Cosby as co-founder. Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Truthsayer2012 (talk) 23:49, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Please explain why you continue to make edits to the Boom! Studios page removing/omitting Andrew Cosby's name and contributions. None of your other edits have been altered. The only alterations I have made have been to replace factual and properly sourced information which had previously been available on the site. There is no reason I can see for your behavior other than intentional vandalism or some sort of personal vendetta against Mr. Cosby. I ask again that you please refrain from making these types of nonproductive edits. Truthsayer2012 (talk) 06:42, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Boom! Studios

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Boom! Studios". Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthsayer2012 (talk • contribs) 00:52, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Please stop making unnecessary edits to the Boom! Studios page. Or at the very least, explain why you continue to remove mention of Andrew Cosby and his contributions to the company. It seems malicious and an abuse of WIkipedia. Truthsayer2012 (talk) 18:10, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Boom! Studios

I have fully protected this article for one week. Please take the opportunity to build consensus about the changes I mentioned at this talk page section. Please also note my caution on the talk page about edit warring; if this devolves into an edit war again then I'm liable to play a little more loose with the banhammer in the sense that I might not adhere so strictly to WP:3RR as a blocking guideline (per the part that says "Even without a 3RR violation, an administrator may still act if they believe a user's behavior constitutes edit warring"). If you continue to make changes and edit war without discussion when the protection expires, I will not hesitate to block you, so I strongly recommend that you take the chance while the article is protected to discuss your changes and come to a consensus before repeating them. Thanks, Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 19:36, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 20:04, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Per my warning above, I have blocked you 24 hours for edit warring. When this block expires, please discuss your changes on the talk page, rather than continuing edit war. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 20:06, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I have blocked you for 10 days for resuming the edit war without engaging in talk page or user talk page discussions. If you respond to this message and start engaging in discussion I will be more than happy to unblock you early. On the other hand, if the block expires and you continue the edit war without discussion I will block you indefinitely (until such time as you decide to engage in discussion).

You said in this edit summary, "I've already offered my rationale for editing in my comments; I'm not sure about your agenda but I've offered plenty of support." That's nonsense. Your entire edit history can be viewed here and there is not one single edit to any talk page anywhere. The kind of discussion that Ks0stm is talking about is back and forth dialog on a talk page, preferably the article talk page. I suspect that this interview is why you want to remove Cosby, but Neocrisis is probably not considered a reliable source sufficient to use that information in Wikipedia and, even if it is (or if a reliable source can be found for it), all that it would be good for is to note in the article that Richie now says that Boom!'s previous assertions of Cosby as a co-founder was a publicity gimmick, not reality; it would not be enough to eliminate the references in the article to Cosby as co-founder, since there are reliable sources for those references. — TransporterMan (TALK) | DR goes to Wikimania! 14:09, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
