November 2019

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, John Matuszak, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 22:58, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

That requirement is for biographies of living people. Not every damn thing. Is there something in those two sentences that you doubt? Do you think that he DIDN'T play for the Raiders? Do you think they DIDN'T win the Super Bowl? Or did you just revert me out of hand because I'm not logged in? 173.3.61.190 (talk) 00:01, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

No, it isn't just for BLPs. Please see WP:V, also, please review WP:BURDEN before you re-add the material, and consider that it would probably be a lot faster to simply add a source than to argue about whether one should be needed. Also, if you do have an account here, you certainly shouldn't be editing without being logged in. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 00:46, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

You're wrong about that, too, sport. There is NO requirement to log in. As for the rest, WP:V requires that the info be verifiABLE. It is. You can verify it. So go ahead. Or stay in an edit war with an IP address, and get yourself into some shit. YOU reverted first, so you'll violate 3RR before me. (Yeah, I'm not actually a noob). 173.3.61.190 (talk) 00:52, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at John Matuszak shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
