File source problem with File:Graphimage.png

Thank you for uploading File:Graphimage.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

13

By definition, the sun is due south at twelve noon local solar time. And as it happens the example you used of the summer solstice is one of the four times a year when the sun is due south at twelve noon by local mean solar time. Please stop trying to mention it in the 13 (number) article. Please cite a reliable source that associates 13 with the sun at its zenith. www.sunposition.info is not an RS in this context because by clicking the right radio button, it will tell you the sun is due south at twelve noon. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:15, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

So where is your independent reliable source to support your point of view? I have requested a view in talk:13 (number). Kindly now wait until someone else thinks your addition is worth doing. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:26, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Article 13 (number) content dispute

Looks like you're involved in a slow-burning edit war over this article. I have fully protected it for a week and strongly encourage you to join the discussion at Talk:13 (number)#Zenith, where you may present your arguments. Favonian (talk) 10:46, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Human factors and ergonomics ‎

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you.

Without a source, the content is your personal opinion that contradicts the information in the corresponding article. --Ronz (talk) 14:59, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Misplaced Pages's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, you may be blocked from editing. --Ronz (talk) 22:10, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

You were invited to explain your position more specifically to which you have declined. Please stop leaving quarrelsome comments on my talk page. Thanks. RickyBennison (talk) 12:54, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but there's no source, and I identified that for you. As such it's original research, and I've identified that for you as well. I started a discussion, and you rather than responding to it you want to assert that I've somehow declined to explain my position. --Ronz (talk) 15:51, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

I've removed your latest contribution to the article, not recalling that we've ever had a dispute over anything there before. Similar problems as before, though you did provide a source. The section was bad to start, and while what you added wasn't the worst of it by any means, it seems grossly undue in presentation, if it deserves mention at all. --Ronz (talk) 17:04, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Human factors and ergonomics. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. 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; 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. --Ronz (talk) 14:29, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Please note that you're also edit-warring at Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation. Please discuss. --Ronz (talk) 19:50, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Your editing is being discussed at WP:AN/EW. Please consider participating in the discussion. --Ronz (talk) 15:06, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

March 2020

Your recent editing history at Leonardo da Vinci 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.

Hello, I'm Jc3s5h. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Ground (electricity), 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. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Sources used to support health claims should satisfy the requirements at WP:MEDRS.

Speedy deletion nomination of Grounding (earthing) culture

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. This is a notice that Grounding (earthing) culture, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It covers a topic on which we already have an article - Nature therapy. (See section A10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Misplaced Pages. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Nature therapy, or to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Nomination of Grounding (earthing) culture for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Grounding (earthing) culture is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Grounding (earthing) culture until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:53, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Since you don't seem to be interested in my notifications, I'll tell you once only: stop reverting and start discussing on the talk page. This article is subject to arbitration sanctions and requires reliable sources, specifically WP:MEDRS compliant sources. Praxidicae (talk) 15:56, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Civility and no personal attacks policies apply equally to edit summaries. Nick (talk) 14:47, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

wellnessmama.com

Hi. I don't think that Misplaced Pages would regard that site as a reliable source nor think that it is pertinent as a external link. I think that you should stop adding that link. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:03, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Discretionary Sanction

I'm banning you from editing any pseudoscience, alternative medicine or fringe science page for 12 months, in line with the Pseudoscience arbitration case discretionary sanctions. This is logged at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration_enforcement_log/2020#Pseudoscience. Nick (talk) 18:05, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Nick, I do not think you have the authority to do that. You have not warned me and you are involved with editing the same article. Please feel free to enlighten me if I have misunderstood something. RickyBennison (talk) 21:42, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

You were warned that discretionary sanctions are in place by Praxidicae (that's the warning you removed with the inappropriate edit summary I mentioned previously). This warning enables me to then take action such as topic banning you from the area(s) covered by the warning. You'll notice that my involvement relates solely to administrative actions, such as removing inappropriate references and adding a site to the spam blacklist, rather than any editorial engagement with the editorial area in question. Nick (talk) 21:54, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Nick, you would have to deliver the warning yourself. Another editor who is fervently involved with editing the article can not deliver the warning on your behalf. That would make him a semi-admin purely on the basis of enacting the warning i.e. by laying the technical foundation of the ban he is adopting an administrative capacity. It would also have to be a specific warning in regard to specific edits as opposed to a generic statement. In addition, you removed more than a single source but also a notable amount of text which involves you in the editing of the article. RickyBennison (talk) 22:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm really am sorry, but you're completely wrong. The discretionary sanctions warning can be left by any editor and the sanctions invoked by an uninvolved administrator, which, despite your protestations, is what I am with regards to your editing and the subject area you were topic banned from editing. You need to read carefully the warning message that was left on your talk page by Praxidicae and you need to very carefully read the Discretionary Sanctions page before commenting further. Nick (talk) 22:38, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Nick, in regard to the alert template, it 'is purely informational and neither implies nor expresses a finding of fault' and 'It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.' That, by definition, means it is not a warning about poor editing practices etc. I think you have misunderstood the situation quite badly. It simply means the range of administrators who have discretionary powers, in the given topic area, has been extended; it does not mean that correct administrative protocol is no longer required. You have also been involved in editing the content of the article. I find these things to amount to an obvious abuse of administrative privileges (how many people have you banned in this manner?!). I have also found this situation to be stressful and alienating. In addition, it puts the survival of the article in serious doubt. RickyBennison (talk) 12:19, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Nick, I am asking you to reconsider your original decision. RickyBennison (talk) 15:30, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm not going to get into an argument about the process - you were informed you were editing in an area where discretionary sanctions have been imposed by the Arbitration Committee, the notice that Praxidicae left is all that is then required for any administrator to subsequently impose a discretionary sanction. If you do wish to appeal by explaining why such a sanction is unnecessary, rather than complaining that the process may well be unfair, I'm happy to listen. If you have more complaints about the process itself, then I would suggest you appeal the topic ban at the correct venue Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement. Nick (talk) 18:07, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Nick, in regard to the accusation of disruptive editing, I do not meet the criteria or even come close. I had taken into account other editors concerns and attempted to incorporate them into my edits, thus building a consensus. I had attempted to rectify the problems suggested by other editors, such as advertising, WP:SOAPBOX, and WP:MEDRS. All of these things refute a charge of disruptive editing. In addition, even if my edits did amount to disruptive editing (which they did not), on the Disruptive editing Misplaced Pages page: 'Disruptive editing may result in warnings and then escalating blocks, typically starting with 24 hours.' The idea that this escalating scale can be bypassed entirely on the basis of an alert template, and year long bans imposed without a warning, is quite frankly preposterous. And no where on Misplaced Pages does it say that that is the case. In regard to the article, I found myself to be at loggerheads with editor Praxidicae. Whilst I found their editing unnecessarily harsh, they did suggest using the Talk page more and I acknowledge that I should have done this. In addition, I acknowledge finding out why editors have concerns in regard to WP:MEDRS, especially in regard to specific sources, is also worth pursuing on the Talk page. These are things I will improve on in the future.RickyBennison (talk) 17:31, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
