August 2017[edit]

Your recent editing history at Non-aggression principle 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheRealRocknRolla (talk • contribs)

March 2021[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tim Pool; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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 and 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. Dr. Swag Lord (talk) 03:07, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What we can see here is that these two editors are trying to bully me and definitely not trying to have any meaningful discussion. That is why they will never return to this page to post anything else - it's just a bully tactic. I Use Dial (talk) 05:41, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions notice[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion[edit]

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:I_Use_Dial reported by User:NorthBySouthBaranof (Result: ). Thank you. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 14:55, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yes, attempting to legislate your way out of this. Cowards cannot converse so they hide behind a bureaucracy they have spent considerable amounts of time memorizing in order to twist it in their favor. I Use Dial (talk) 15:07, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is extensive conversation on the article talk page, all of it opposed to your edit. You may not ignore that conversation because you don't like the outcome. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 15:18, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note that at the time this message was left I had the most recent substantial edit, as well as the most recent edit, to the talk page, where my at the time of the posting of this very comment there is not a reply on the article's talk page, so who is the one ignoring the conversation?

Edit warring at Tim Pool[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours 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 read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard. EdJohnston (talk) 15:35, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is really funny here is that I am among the very earliest financial contributors to Wikipedia Foundation. What has happened to this site is truly disgusting. You even shut down the opportunity for someone to defend themselves without ever addressing anything they post. (Personal attack removed). I Use Dial (talk) 15:41, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

I Use Dial (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

The user who complained against me was never addressing my points as to why I was editing the article while revering all edits. Before I can even make a reasoned response to the editor's complaint (who was also edit-warring long before I was), I am blocked from being able to defend myself within the Edit warring page. What kind of system can ignore claims made by an editor, then while another editor is reverting every single edit to an article, have the person making claims silenced from even being able to defend their position? Horrible. I Use Dial (talk) 15:47, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You are warned for personal attacks against the blocking admin, and you've clearly been edit-warring against consensus. Please see WP:NOTTHEM before making an unblock request - you are expected to address your behavior. Acroterion (talk) 15:54, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Talkpage access revoked for repeated personal attacks after warnings. Acroterion (talk) 16:06, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
