Suggestion[edit]

I noticed that you made two edits at the Kenosha unrest shooting article that I think you will be challenged about. One is that Rittenhouse is an "active shooter." I don't believe that if we see something obvious on video, i.e., that the sun was "rising," that we can say, "the sun was rising." We need to find a reliable secondary source (RSS) that says "the sun was rising." Someone might respond that you're wrong, that the earth is actually turning, or that you're trying to be disruptive. There are editors who can drive you nuts with challenges, who might stalk your every edit, deleting hours of work you might have done in a few seconds. I wouldn't invite them to do it and you've experienced it to some extent. You also can write something on your User page to make it obvious that your Wikipedia birth wasn't yesterday, as suggested by a red link on your User name that might motivate someone to challenge you. One editor who joined recently wrote, "I'm a human being," or something like that, that eliminates that problem. Lastly, you can set up an email account so that other editors can contact you or vice versa, privately, if you might find that helpful. An option, "Email this User," will appear on the menu to the left side of your User screen that will allow other editors to make such a contact. I hope that Wednesday brought you a better day.

February 2021[edit]

Hello, I'm CommanderWaterford. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Cristina Garcia (politician), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:28, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Heather Scott[edit]

Hello, I was wondering if you could explain this edit. I didn't see anything in the source that indicated that the subject attempted to have anyone arrested from the article. Was there a reason as to why you included that? --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 14:34, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration[edit]

You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Assassination of Meir Kahane and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.

Thanks,--SoaringLL (talk) 01:51, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect.

Note especially the 1RR rule, which I believe you have just broken on Tira, cheers, Huldra (talk) 21:35, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Did you note the 1RR rule yourself? Your edit reverting this editor broke it. Inf-in MD (talk) 23:11, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't a revert and wasn't a 1RR violation, I changed what I was editing. My first edit was based off an intermediate edit and ended up removing positive additions to the article. Second time around I only changed parts that were written in an editorial (rather than encyclopedic) tone.

Both edits were definitely reverts. A revert is an edit "that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material" (from WP:3RR). Your first edit reverted this edit and your second edit reverted this edit. Hopefully that clarifies how the rule works? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:45, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AE[edit]

I have mentioned you in AE[1] I don't think you should receive any sanctions but you should understand that any removal of recent material is considered a revert, the admins are very strict about it.--Shrike (talk) 15:57, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Andy Ngo restorations[edit]

Shadybabs, the Andy Ngo article is subject to a consensus required restriction before restoring challenged edits. Your restoration here [2] directly violates that restriction and your edit here may violate the restriction [3]. Please self revert and bring the content up on the article talk page per BRD. Springee (talk) 16:08, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You missed the longer edit. Please take it to the talk page. Springee (talk) 17:27, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please revert and respect the consensus required or this will end up at 3RRN. Springee (talk) 19:22, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPA[edit]

This was wholly unnecessary, be better. — Czello 15:01, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Enbridge[edit]

If you ever feel the need to return to that article, it could use some help. The editor you reverted at least once is now blocked for, indeed, using a variety of accounts for paid editing. Drmies (talk) 01:07, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Roman Polanski lead sentence[edit]

Hi, Shadybabs. Your reverted my reversion without taking it to the talk page as I requested. As per Talk:Roman Polanski#Opening there seems to be consensus about keeping it in the lead, which I wholly support. There is no consensus & considerable resistance about putting it into the lead sentence as WP:UNDUE. As the WP:BRD essay suggests, I invite you to reach consensus on that talk page. Otherwise your edits can be construed as edit warring. Peaceray (talk) 18:02, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May 2022[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Aman Kumar Goel ^(Talk) 04:51, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Their edits were fine. Volunteer Marek 08:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What edits were disruptive? Shadybabs (talk) 10:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Use the talk page[edit]

Hello, please remember: WP is a collaborative project, which means that you must engage in discussions from time to time, especially when working on controversial issues such as war crimes and the war in Ukraine. Edit summaries may not suffice, especially when they are as sketchy or entirely absent as your last ones. This way of doing things is not helpful and might exacerbate the conflicts amongst editors. So please go on the talk page, explain your views and try to reach a consensus with the others. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 13:42, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RfC Notice[edit]

War crimes in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has an RFC[edit]

July 2022[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Roman Polanski, you may be blocked from editing. There's talk page discussion right now, where you are not gaining any traction. Drmies (talk) 20:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

October 2022[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you may be blocked from editing.
For various politicians' articles, using sources whether questionable on their face, or good sources as a cudgel to drive a perceived political point, or for unnecessary belaboring detail to "expose" them for their views. JesseRafe (talk) 13:12, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits[edit]

Hi Shadybabs! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. WikiHannibal (talk) 14:37, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 2023[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

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 ~~~~}}. Valereee (talk) 19:09, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You've been adding "and criminals" to the lead sentence at Murdaugh family and been reverted by other editors. This is a WP:BLP violation. Here and here and most recently, with an edit summary that it was a copyedit, here. Multiple previous warnings for disruptive editing, failure to respond to concerns on user talk, personal attacks, disingenuous marking of edits as minor, etc. Valereee (talk) 19:11, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
