Blanking warnings

While editors are certainly within their rights to delete messages from their talk pages after reading them, I must say I am somewhat concerned by how frequently you receive warnings and respond simply by blanking the whole page (last June, this March, four times on April 19 (1, 2, 3, 4), April 21, and twice on May 8 (1, 2). Note that that last edit removed a long block of warnings which ended with a final {{uw-delete4}}. It seems like you are reading these warnings, ignoring them, and continuing with what you were doing before; please be aware that if you keep doing this stuff and not addressing the underlying issues, it's likely that you are eventually going to be taken to a noticeboard or subjected to sanctions. jp×g 06:51, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Since you have blanked your talk page, again, twice since I left this original message: you are required to engage with other users in the course of editing Wikipedia. If people repeatedly bring up concerns with you, and you repeatedly completely ignore everything they say to you, this is an issue. More to the point: if you do this again I am going to file a report at ANI. jp×g 17:49, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

You're not supposed to revert talk pages Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments 1keyhole (talk) 17:57, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

JPxG shouldn't have restored the talk page messages, I agree, but the concerns still hold. Ignoring the warnings and continuing the behavior that led to them will only lead to you eventually ending up at ANI. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 21:17, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

If it goes to ANI, am I allowed to make a defence, like in a judicial hearing? 1keyhole (talk) 22:20, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Sarah Lawrence College. You were recently at a level 4 for blanking content, and blanking your warnings does not remove them. You removed the content from this article. user:ElKevbo restored it with the summary those reasons for deletion are completely irrelevant. I agree completely with ElKevbo. It is irrelevant that the person in question was not on staff or a student, and was illegally living on campus. The incident clearly involves the school and its students. You reverted ElKevbo's edit without discussing it on the talk page per WP:BRD, and you didn't even leave an edit summary. Meters (talk) 19:05, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edit to Hidden Lake Academy appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Meters (talk) 09:14, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

And please don't use inaccurate summaries. This [1] was adding a supposed alumnus, not "Adding/improving reference(s)". Meters (talk) 09:16, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

My summary was not inaccurate as it did include two references which also included quotes stating the person did, in fact, attend Hidden Lake Academy. 1keyhole (talk) 09:34, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

The point is you did not add references to something that was in the article, you added something completely new, but only mentioned the fact that you added sources. That is deceptive. Meters (talk) 09:43, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Mount Bachelor Academy. 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. Do not restore contested edits. Per WP:BRD discuss them on the article's talk page, or leave it alone. Meters (talk) 10:03, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

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.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Mount Bachelor Academy, you may be blocked from editing. Bump to level 3. You have previously been warned about this. Meters (talk) 10:04, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Your are being disruptive not me the article was nothing wrong with the external links I added they contained additional information such as photos and maps. 1keyhole (talk) 10:06, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

If you think the article needs two archived copies of the official web site then discuss it on the article's talk page per WP:BRD and we'll see if there is consensus to do so. Meters (talk) 10:10, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Charles III ref quotes

I didn't want to revert your edits because that would be excessive. However, I do disagree with them. They make the citation style inconsistent. Even in the GA review, the reviewer said "I cannot see why some references include whacking great quotes but other citations confine themselves [...]".

December 2023

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Talk:Gow School. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. What part of my summary WP:BLP was unclear to you? It is considered a WP:BLP violation to discuss purported crimes by non-notable people. Meters (talk) 21:40, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

I request that you stop leaving messages on my talk page. 1keyhole (talk) 22:06, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello, 1keyhole. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Boulder Creek Academy".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗plicit 14:01, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

• Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
• Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
• Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
• MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
• Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cables Wynd House, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Staffordshire Terrier. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Overlinking

Have you ever read MOS:OVERLINK? This edit added links to:

A crowd, some of whom police believed to be supporters of the English Defence League, gathered outside Southport Mosque, having wrongly believed the perpetrator of the stabbing attack to be a Muslim immigrant due to the spread of misinformation on social media platforms. They attacked police officers, threw objects at the mosque, and set a police vehicle alight. The riot resulted in over 50 officers injured, some seriously, along with three police dogs wounded, and four people arrested. The following day, related protests were held in Whitehall in London, and elsewhere in England, where far-right protesters again clashed with police.

A good question to ask yourself is whether reading the article you're about to link to would help someone understand the article you are linking from. Unless a term is particularly relevant to the context in the article, words and terms understood by most readers in context are usually not linked.

So English Defence League and Whitehall are good links. If someone does not know London, they may not realise that Whitehall is the name of the street that has Trafalgar Square at one end and Parliament/Westminster Abbey at the other.

But misinformation, social media, London, and England - aren't they commonly understood words? MOS:OVERLINK suggests that they should not be linked.-- Toddy1 (talk) 22:40, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
