Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to
Cognitive rehabilitation therapy, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been
reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the
sandbox for that. Thank you.

If you think something on the page doesn't make sense and should be worded more clearly, it would be best to rewrite it and make it clearer. Just deleting a whole section of sourced content is not productive.

Hello, I'm

Richard Rohr without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate
edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the

Request reason:
I'm not asking for an unblock because it's pointless, and I apologize for wasting an admin's time to have to check this page. But I need to state for the record that I am not the "Best Known" sock. As noted above, my ISP is located in Rocky Mount-Wilson NC. I have never encountered the "Best Known" sock, but I think if you look at their edits you won't see an edit from this location. To those involved in the complaint against me and the block, I realize you're acting in good faith. It's unfortunate that IPs have to endure this. This may be viewed as a reason to register, but for some of us it's the opposite. It's a reason to just stop making any useful contributions.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like you to
assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not do on
Talk:Demi Lovato. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. The personal attack wasn't necessary nor

BLP on the

Request reason:
I was trying to make a reliably sourced direct quotation stated by Mary Ann Lisanti, in which she used the n-word. If you look at the article, a registered user made the same edit here (without the source). I was not attempting to vandalize with a racial slur, just provide a quotation. The reason I tried repeatedly is that I removed letters from the word to try to get it past the filter, but the filter was triggered by the single letter "n". 173.209.178.244 ( talk) 20:35, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
Decline reason:
The problem was, that information was already contained in the article. Additionally, it's far from the only problem edit cause by the edit filter. Now, admittedly I don't often look at people tripping the edit filter and admittedly some or many of these edits may have been performed by someone else using this IP address, but I've never seen a list of edit-filter preventions as long as from this IP address. Once the block expires, I recommend creating an account so your edits aren't lumped together with others operating from this IP address. Note that you have not convinced me this IP address should be unblocked, but I wouldn't object if you are able to convince another admin. Yamla ( talk) 20:48, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

173.209.178.244 ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
With all due respect, but the information was not already in the article. I don't know if you can look at the times the filter was triggered and look at the article as it was when the filter was first triggered. If so it should clearly indicate that the information was not in the article at that time. I did in fact make all of the edits as far as I know. As I explained, I was trying to reduce the number of letters in a six-letter word beginning with "n", one letter at a time. When it got to the single letter "n" the filter was still triggered. That's when I stopped trying. To be honest, I can easily not edit for the duration of this block, or go to a different internet connection. It's the principle of being blocked without vandalism, by making the exact same edit that a registered user made without triggering the filter. That looks bad for Wikipedia, but at least I have tried to set the record straight. I won't make another unblock request. Thanks. 173.209.178.244 ( talk) 21:02, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm 72.95.9.17. I noticed you deleted my edits on List of backmasked messages. I think what you did was a mistake as I was adding to the incomplete list.

Your recent editing history at List of common misconceptions 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.
