Hello, I notice that you are claiming that the USNVGT is active online. Can you shed some light on your claims? In case you were unaware that team ceased to exist decades ago. They had a trademark to the name but it has expired many years ago.
During the sale of Twin Galaxies from Walter Day to the new owner, some of the intellectual property was not handed over including the USNVGT. They have not had a single event, game, contest, tournament etc. since the 80's. Remember, friend, e-sports teams actually compete with other teams. datagod ( talk) 🍁 19:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
You are claiming not to be Mr. Peterson, but you know his intimate thoughts. You are defending him in multiple articles, making sure his unsourced claims are restored. You claim to be on intimate speaking terms with him. Your IP address homes in directly to an area of town in Denton Texas that has storage units and Section 8 housing. You even mention his best friend Rudy. But of course you are not him. He would never use wikipedia or sock puppet accounts to support him. Regardless, your activity is being monitored and your ban is justified. datagod ( talk) 🍁 01:41, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Mr. Petersen denied publicly today knowing anything about wiki edits at all. So you, anonymous user, either can't keep your lies straight or your didn't speak to him. Which is it? Is he lying about talking to you or are you lying about talking to him? In either case you have shown yourself to be untrustworthy and irrelevent. datagod ( talk) 🍁 21:56, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Serge, an Admin here on Wikipedia. I've seen you multiple times now restore unsourced information to Wikipedia. This is against policy. Wikipedia's entire premise is writing according to what can be verified by reliable sources. And the burden to find sources is on the person who is adding or restoring content.
Please do not add/restore any more unsourced content. See WP:REFB if you need help with how to add sources. But if you don't stop, you'll be blocked from editing or locked out of editing certain articles. Sergecross73 msg me 23:58, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Your recent editing history 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; read about 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 00:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, 35.135.179.48. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 00:59, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

01:09, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Hello anonymous user 35.135.179.48. It was strongly suggested that we come to a talk area where we can continue our discussion.
I am afraid we may have gotten off on the wrong foot. My edits were simply to remove unsourced claims and links that have a conflict of interest.
You claim to be a very close friend of Mr. Peterson, perhaps even the eager young historian that he so fondly spoke of before. As you know, editing Wikipedia articles to include links to paid promotions and articles that you or Mr. Peterson wrote yourself (and received a well deserved small compensation for) is known as a conflict of interest. You failed to disclose this conflict. There are forms you can fill out. Back in 2017 another anonymous account who claimed to be the best friend of Mr. Peterson was also doing the same thing with the USNVGT page. Making unsourced edits, removing edits by others that went against your narrative. The USNVGT as you know played a vital part of the early history of e-sports -- especially under the guidance of Walter Day. Somehow Mr. Peterson claimed he was the new owner, and all of a sudden the wikipedia article was modified to point back to his own personal website, his youtube channel, etc. All of which are against the guidelines for self promotion and conflicts of interest. An anonymous account made the changes, yet on social media Mr. Peterson complained daily about how the wikipedia editors are "out of touch" and "don't understand video game history" etc. Denying any direct involvement, yet within minutes the anonymous account would make changes on wikipedia and he would complain about other editors reverting his changes.
Of course I am not saying you are the same anonymous account. I am just discussing how strange it is that TWO anonymous wikipedia editors both claim to be best friends with Mr. Peterson while also modifying articles to put him in a positive light and link back to his websites and social media accounts.
I would also like to point out that this particular IP address geo-locates to the local library where Mr. Peterson does most of his video work. It is an attractive historical building, so kudos to him for upping his game that way.
If you would like to explain how this is not a conflict of interest, and if you like to provide proper citation for your links we can certainly work together on that and fix up the articles so they are no longer violating the policies.
I look forward to working with you on this matter. Feel free to reach out to me on this platform any time. datagod ( talk) 🍁 15:48, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

i just google only took a second
so i guess if you are going to like and claim not to know him and claim it about citations then I expect you to add all of these to the relevant artciles before i show wiki mods the links that prove you know Patterson or at least did and harbor a deep personal resentment of him and violated wiki policy with your eidts
Lets start with Man vs Snake. It was an interesting movie with some great characters in it. If you believe that Mr. Peterson's review should be added on the page, please provide the link here and we can discuss how to properly add the link. I am assuming you have a live link or an archived link. I could not find it when I checked which is why I removed the reference and comments made by Mr. Peterson. If he worked for a company that paid him to write the movie review that should be disclosed as well. I know it can be frustrating when sites like G4 or EC3 shut down and delete their articles, but we should be able to work together to comb through the internet archive and find the article that way.
Here are some suggestions that we could add to the page:
Den of Geek - Review of Man vs Snake [1]
IGN - Review by Chris Tulley [2]
References
What we can do with this article is look up the scores that were set at the event and make sure we link to the appropriate notable source. For example, if the scores were tracked by Twin Galaxies or Aurcade, we can link to those. Or if a writer created an article, we could link to the article. What is important is that we have links to relevant sources and not just fluff.
Why you delete my post with the source huh huh huh?

List of scores from event reported onn
You post an interesting link. It is a classic arcade forum with posts describing the event that occurred many years ago. I don't think it qualifies as a credible source.
Points to consider with regards to links:
Reliability Forum posts are generally not considered reliable sources on Wikipedia because they lack editorial oversight and fact-checking processes. The information presented in forum posts may be anecdotal, speculative, or biased.
Verifiability Wikipedia requires information to be verifiable from reliable sources. Forum posts may not meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability, as they are often user-generated content without proper citations or references.
Neutrality Forum posts may reflect the opinions or experiences of individual users rather than neutral, objective information. Wikipedia aims to present information in a neutral manner, so relying on forum posts for content may introduce bias.
that is excuse that is a report by a third party person reporting on the show. look those scores up in your galaxy website and confirm again rather than excuse yourself.
review was added years ago i do not have a link now an no idea on if he was paid for it. don't pretend you removed it for any reason other than it was his name because you said different when you removed it claiming it was him selfe promoting
Please, lets stick to the topic at hand and not get into personal attacks. I want to make the article better, and so do you. Please provide the information and we can both come to an agreement on how to make sure the article complies to the rules and does not contain irrelevant link. Also, if you use four tilds at the end of your comment, it will make things easier to read. datagod ( talk) 🍁 20:16, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
If you could just calm down a bit and look at the history, you will see I have not deleted anything. There are other editors who are trying to keep things clear. I will take a look at the links you posted. If they are third party independent sources and not paid articles written by Mr. Petersen, then by all means feel free to add them to the original articles. datagod ( talk) 🍁 22:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to assume bad faith when dealing with other editors, you may be
blocked from editing. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. You are very close to being blocked again.
