Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:33, 19 April 2008

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did to Reo Fortune. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

I don't understand I was just doing what everyone else does, like that mike user and who are you?

April 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on White flight. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. SMS 19:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I have full right to give you this warning, and it is not biting, rather your recent edit are more disruptive. Please refrain using inappropriate warning templates. --SMS 19:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to User talk:Orangemike has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. --SMS 19:23, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did to User talk:Smsarmad, you will be blocked from editing. SMS 19:29, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

You wrongly assume good faith edits to be vandalism. Please refrain from such unnecessary attacks and use the proper talk pages to dispute any findings you may disagree with. I have put the proper warnings on your page regarding this matter. Thank you. Snottythetroll (talk) 19:36, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

You are mistaken, about the use of these warning. --SMS 19:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

How so? Please provide the necessary discussion prior to action. Obviously you are biased and are not following the rules regarding such disputes. Is this how you treat newcomers to the website? Snottythetroll (talk) 19:42, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Blocked

for disruptive edits at, among others, User:Orangemike. Do not warn admins for giving valid warnings. In fact, as a new user, you should not be giving warnings in the first place. ⇒SWATJester 19:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

How do you assertain "valid" without consensus? I made edits in good faith and issued warning in good faith, where I deemed them necessary. Please provide rationaliztion for your actions, especially this block. thank you. Snottythetroll (talk) 19:42, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Please note "Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism." Snottythetroll (talk) 19:44, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Nearly all of your edits are disruptive. There is nothing to discuss with you. When your block expires you will be allowed to edit, so long as you behave constructively. Do not continue to issue warnings to people, especially to administrators. That's not something you should be doing as a new editor. Issuing warnings to an administrator, is not a good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia.⇒SWATJester 19:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

By what determination? As far as I can see, it seems that all my edits were reverted and this block was established due to favoritism between editors/administrators. Had there been the appropriate discussion regarding the matters, such an assertion could be avoided but without it it seems obvious that this is simply retaliation for making comments not favored by the "clique". I dispute your authority in this matter. Who do I contact to make a complaint about your obvious abuse of power? Snottythetroll (talk) 19:51, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I took a look at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents to see if any notices were issued for my account but there were none. This makes me think that this was a personal request by the relevant parties to an administrator favorable to them who then quashed a "troublesome" user for them. Misplaced Pages, at least from this editor's point of view, seems to be governed, not by mutually agreed upon policy, but by gangs of internet thugs. If my perception of these events is in error, then please make an effort to convince me otherwise. Snottythetroll (talk) 20:01, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

You are getting everything wrong, first you were misusing the warning templates, you can go for any third or fourth opinion for this. Secondly you were reverting edits at White flight and were a potential 3RR violator, so I gave you a notice for potentially violating 3RR. It was a preempt notice for you, so you should not violate this rule. But you again kept your disruptive attitude and issued me warnings, so I reported you at WP:AIV. Hope you start constructively after block! --SMS 20:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Where did I violate 3RR? To my recollection I only reverted twice and afterwards made comments in the talk section of the appropriate article, to which the involved party has yet to respond to? Also, if you reported me, it certainly does NOT show up in appropriate section for such reporting. All evidence currently points to abuse of the system to keep silent dissenting points of view, which in my opinion is more disruptive then any actions that I have taken to date. Snottythetroll (talk) 20:40, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Well here at[REDACTED] you need to recollect using the history of the edits like you can see your edits here. Other thing is, that I never said that you violated WP:3RR, I said you were a potential violator of 3RR. And regarding that report please see this and you can find in this diff that this report was automatically removed after you were blocked. --SMS 21:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

You are a newbie here, and I recommend you that after the block is over, you must read all the policies and some important guidelines of Misplaced Pages and have some time to get used to Misplaced Pages, before doing any administrative task like warning users. Regards! --SMS 21:21, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Right idea, wrong methods...

Be constructive instead of destructive. Just because the users in question have no ethical values in relation to be a constructive member of wiki doesn't mean you should be so also. Just my 2 cents.  ;) Zenasprime (talk) 20:56, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Be civil! --SMS 21:26, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

What is uncivil about that comment? If anyone is being uncivil it is you by applying unnecessary warnings on user talk pages without due cause or discussion. If you believe that my opinion is unjustified, then by all means, question it in this forum for discussion rather then running to an administrator friendly to you for protection and to punish those who you disagree with.
