Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Baucalis, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Schism, Council of Constantinople and Meletius ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Nice work on the edits to Cornell NYC Tech. I'm not sure what you meant by information that was removed but this is what the article looked like before a couple of us had a crack at cleaning it up. Scary stuff. I actually went to the Cornell Wikiproject to ask if more editors could chip in and add some info - not sure if you saw it there or just stumbled across it but thanks for contributing.

Hello Gabby,
My name is Jeremiah, and I noticed that you edit the Bible article plenty on times_ Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible _I just want to ask you for a favor in that article. I have scrolled the article plenty of times, and I didn't see much mention or if any information regarding the Pseudepigrapha. Can you please insert some information about the Pseudepigrapha I only read the articles to give suggestions to users who are dedicated to their articles, but I try not to edit the articles of dedicated users such as yourself. I hope that the Pseudepigrapha would be noticed by readers. That is all...
-Jeremiah A.

I'm still waiting for your reply to this message since yesterday. I assumed you had found better things to do in the meantime, but clearly this is not the case as you found the time to revert my changes with the bewildering explanation that "you never wrote anything in the talk page for me to answer" and even dropping me a vitriolic message on my talk page, complaining that "You wrote zero. So as I said, ADDRESS IT IN TALK". The message for you to answer is there, if you can't or won't read it it's not my fault.

I'm not saying the references are unreliable because you added them, but because they are from unreliable, non-academic sources. As for the first ones, are afterlife.co.nz and tentmaker.org authorized to speak for the groups listed? If not, they are just two guys opinions. The last one already has a bible ref, so another source is not needed unless you are making any additional claims about the meaning of the text or interpreting the quoted text.

If you disagree with my edits to an article, please discuss them on the article's talk page. See Wikipedia:Edit warring. I began the discussion on Talk:Taylor Business Institute after your previous revert. Reverting without addressing my points is not a useful way of trying to resolve a dispute. Ground Zero | t 01:52, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Moon landing conspiracy theories shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD 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.

Hello Gabby Merger, I just created my first article ever on Wikipedia: Book of Elchasai, and I would like for you to expand this article as much as possible. I used this site as a reference: http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/elchasai.html, but within the site contains many references for sourcing by scholars and church fathers. Perhaps this may give you some interest as this article is around your editing field -- Thnx & Cheers -- JudeccaXIII ( talk) 20:05, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

Hello, Gabby Merger. :) As an admin who frequently works copyright, I was asked to look at the situation at ANI with the content you recently added to Uterine cancer. I just wanted to stop and have a word with you about our approach to using copyrighted content. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation – including both structure and language – are. As a website that is widely read and reused, Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously to protect the interests of the holders of copyright as well as those of the Wikimedia Foundation and our reusers. Wikipedia's copyright policies require that the content we take from non-free sources, aside from brief and clearly marked quotations, be rewritten from scratch. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following:
Source | Your first edit | Your initial cleanup |
---|---|---|
We do not yet know exactly what causes most cases of endometrial cancer, but we do know that there are certain risk factors, particularly hormone imbalance, for this type of cancer. A great deal of research is going on to learn more about the disease. We know that most endometrial cancer cells contain estrogen and/or progesterone receptors on their surfaces. Somehow, interaction of these receptors with their hormones leads to increased growth of the endometrium. This can mark the beginning of cancer. The increased growth can become more and more abnormal until it develops into a cancer. | It is not clearly known yet exactly what causes most cases of endometrial cancer, but it's been concluded that there are certain risk factors.

I have bolded the content that is taken directly from the source, but some of the other text represents a problem of close paraphrasing. The first version is, as you acknowledge, clearly a problem, but the second edit is an issue as well, as you are retaining much of the language and structure of the original.
I realize it is disconcerting to have content removed, but every time you save a page on Wikipedia you receive a notice that says "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." The correction of copyright is the most urgent thing, however that's done. Straightforward removal is well-within policy, and editing articles to remove copyright problems is actually exempt from the prohibition on edit warring for that reason.
It is critical that content you place in articles conform to our copyright policies. We have had to blank and delete articles that are years old because of content such as that, losing the work of multiple editors. The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for writing that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".
If you believe that you have added content in the past in this manner, please go back and address it now. It is far better to remove and rewrite content within a relatively short window than to have to excise it years down the road. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:36, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gabby, I want to sincerely apologize to you for any trouble I have caused you while on WP. I've learned a lot this past few weeks about WP and what's needed (albeit a lot about DB as well). I'd like to work with you (instead of against each other) to make an unbiased article on DB's page that we can both agree on. I admit, I did not see the bias at first, but you are right, the current article needs a lot of improvement. That said, I'd like to take the sources I have found on the delete-request page (positive and negative) and make one unbiased article about DB that would inform the public, but do it in a manor that would not harm his Christian ministry, but also I don't want to do it in a way that would flatter or boost egos. It's important to me, as a Christian, to never boost any pastors ego, it is morally damaging to give to much praise to any human. Anyway, I look forward to working with you in the future.

Your changes seem to be for the worse. First, my main complaint against the article was that it implied that Constantine and Licinius "legalized" (and "formalized" whatever that means) Christianity. This is incorrect. Christianity was made illegal by Diocleatian in 303, and was legalized when the persecution was ended by Galerius in 311. You might be thinking of the so called "Edict of Milan" in 313...but this wasn't really an "edict", had no legal force, and anyhow Licinius and Constantine could not have legalized something that was already legal. So the current version of the article still contains the major error. Introducing Gallienus makes the paragraph worse, since he made Christianity legal a half century before the time period being spoken of...it would be better to have no reference made to him, especially since as it stands it seems to imply that he just acted, since Christianity is "newly" legalized. Anyhow I'm not sure where you are coming from. I have made clear my point...the current article implies that Constantine legalized Christianity...he did not. Are you arguing against this point? Ocyril ( talk) 23:06, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
I see now, looking at the history, that you do disagree with me. You say, "it mentions both emperors, and is valid and overall accurate. "Christianity" before those two emperors was NOT "legalized"...but actually considered criminal." You are incorrect, for the reasons I have stated. I will get you some citations that you can look at so we can avoid an edit war. But, again, you are incorrect to assert that Christianity was criminal before Licinius and Constantine in 313...Galerius made it legal again in 311. Ocyril ( talk) 23:10, 22 September 2014 (UTC) The first sentence is certainly inaccurate. First, it implies that the Catholic Church was "newly" legalized...as if for the first time, which is incorrect. The Christian Church was legalized by Gallienus in the mid 3rd century. Second, although it was made illegal during the "Great Persecution", it was not made legal once again by either Constantine or Licinius; Galerius made it legal once again by promulgating his Edict of Toleration in 311. The rest of the paragraph is, strictly speaking, not inaccurate, so i will leave it...even though (maybe) it anachronistically suggests that "homoousious" was a watchword for Athanasius from the very beginning, whereas the truth is he only emphasized that term long after the initial "controversy" (after 340). I think it would be better just to eliminate the whole paragraph, but will compromise by eliminating only the first sentence which is incorrect. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocyril ( talk • contribs) 16:38, 22 September 2014 (UTC) |

Greek Orthodox ChurchAbbey, you really need to read and understand wp:verifiability. You don't have to like it. You just have to accept that this is the basis on which Wikipedia works. Of course Dr. K.'s edits are biased. Of course they are selected because they support his POV. That's the way that Wikipedia works. Getting yourself banned won't stop that happening and it certainly won't correct any mistakes in the article. You need to learn to work within the system that is Wikipedia. As far as Wikipedia is concerned, if something is verified by a reliable source then t is verified. That's the end to the story. You can't remove it, you can only find other material that challenges it, and let the sources speak for themselves. You would have achieved much more by doing a simple Google search to find those sources than by getting engaged in an edit war and arguing ion the talk page. When you find your references you can add whatever you like. It doesn't matter how much you revert or how much you argue, you won't be able to change a single damn thing. Those are the rules. You need to accept them and learn to work with them. If you can't learn to do that, your time here will be brief and frustrating. Mark Marathon ( talk) 08:25, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello Gabby,
My name is Jeremiah, and I noticed that you edit the Bible article plenty on times_ Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible _I just want to ask you for a favor in that article. I have scrolled the article plenty of times, and I didn't see much mention or if any information regarding the Pseudepigrapha. Can you please insert some information about the Pseudepigrapha I only read the articles to give suggestions to users who are dedicated to their articles, but I try not to edit the articles of dedicated users such as yourself. I hope that the Pseudepigrapha would be noticed by readers. That is all...
-Jeremiah A.

I'm still waiting for your reply to this message since yesterday. I assumed you had found better things to do in the meantime, but clearly this is not the case as you found the time to revert my changes with the bewildering explanation that "you never wrote anything in the talk page for me to answer" and even dropping me a vitriolic message on my talk page, complaining that "You wrote zero. So as I said, ADDRESS IT IN TALK". The message for you to answer is there, if you can't or won't read it it's not my fault.

I'm not saying the references are unreliable because you added them, but because they are from unreliable, non-academic sources. As for the first ones, are afterlife.co.nz and tentmaker.org authorized to speak for the groups listed? If not, they are just two guys opinions. The last one already has a bible ref, so another source is not needed unless you are making any additional claims about the meaning of the text or interpreting the quoted text.

If you disagree with my edits to an article, please discuss them on the article's talk page. See Wikipedia:Edit warring. I began the discussion on Talk:Taylor Business Institute after your previous revert. Reverting without addressing my points is not a useful way of trying to resolve a dispute. Ground Zero | t 01:52, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Moon landing conspiracy theories shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD 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.

Hello Gabby Merger, I just created my first article ever on Wikipedia: Book of Elchasai, and I would like for you to expand this article as much as possible. I used this site as a reference: http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/elchasai.html, but within the site contains many references for sourcing by scholars and church fathers. Perhaps this may give you some interest as this article is around your editing field -- Thnx & Cheers -- JudeccaXIII ( talk) 20:05, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

Hello, Gabby Merger. :) As an admin who frequently works copyright, I was asked to look at the situation at ANI with the content you recently added to Uterine cancer. I just wanted to stop and have a word with you about our approach to using copyrighted content. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation – including both structure and language – are. As a website that is widely read and reused, Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously to protect the interests of the holders of copyright as well as those of the Wikimedia Foundation and our reusers. Wikipedia's copyright policies require that the content we take from non-free sources, aside from brief and clearly marked quotations, be rewritten from scratch. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following:
Source | Your first edit | Your initial cleanup |
---|---|---|
We do not yet know exactly what causes most cases of endometrial cancer, but we do know that there are certain risk factors, particularly hormone imbalance, for this type of cancer. A great deal of research is going on to learn more about the disease. We know that most endometrial cancer cells contain estrogen and/or progesterone receptors on their surfaces. Somehow, interaction of these receptors with their hormones leads to increased growth of the endometrium. This can mark the beginning of cancer. The increased growth can become more and more abnormal until it develops into a cancer. | It is not clearly known yet exactly what causes most cases of endometrial cancer, but it's been concluded that there are certain risk factors.

I have bolded the content that is taken directly from the source, but some of the other text represents a problem of close paraphrasing. The first version is, as you acknowledge, clearly a problem, but the second edit is an issue as well, as you are retaining much of the language and structure of the original.
I realize it is disconcerting to have content removed, but every time you save a page on Wikipedia you receive a notice that says "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." The correction of copyright is the most urgent thing, however that's done. Straightforward removal is well-within policy, and editing articles to remove copyright problems is actually exempt from the prohibition on edit warring for that reason.
It is critical that content you place in articles conform to our copyright policies. We have had to blank and delete articles that are years old because of content such as that, losing the work of multiple editors. The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for writing that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism".
If you believe that you have added content in the past in this manner, please go back and address it now. It is far better to remove and rewrite content within a relatively short window than to have to excise it years down the road. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:36, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gabby, I want to sincerely apologize to you for any trouble I have caused you while on WP. I've learned a lot this past few weeks about WP and what's needed (albeit a lot about DB as well). I'd like to work with you (instead of against each other) to make an unbiased article on DB's page that we can both agree on. I admit, I did not see the bias at first, but you are right, the current article needs a lot of improvement. That said, I'd like to take the sources I have found on the delete-request page (positive and negative) and make one unbiased article about DB that would inform the public, but do it in a manor that would not harm his Christian ministry, but also I don't want to do it in a way that would flatter or boost egos. It's important to me, as a Christian, to never boost any pastors ego, it is morally damaging to give to much praise to any human. Anyway, I look forward to working with you in the future.

Your changes seem to be for the worse. First, my main complaint against the article was that it implied that Constantine and Licinius "legalized" (and "formalized" whatever that means) Christianity. This is incorrect. Christianity was made illegal by Diocleatian in 303, and was legalized when the persecution was ended by Galerius in 311. You might be thinking of the so called "Edict of Milan" in 313...but this wasn't really an "edict", had no legal force, and anyhow Licinius and Constantine could not have legalized something that was already legal. So the current version of the article still contains the major error. Introducing Gallienus makes the paragraph worse, since he made Christianity legal a half century before the time period being spoken of...it would be better to have no reference made to him, especially since as it stands it seems to imply that he just acted, since Christianity is "newly" legalized. Anyhow I'm not sure where you are coming from. I have made clear my point...the current article implies that Constantine legalized Christianity...he did not. Are you arguing against this point? Ocyril ( talk) 23:06, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
I see now, looking at the history, that you do disagree with me. You say, "it mentions both emperors, and is valid and overall accurate. "Christianity" before those two emperors was NOT "legalized"...but actually considered criminal." You are incorrect, for the reasons I have stated. I will get you some citations that you can look at so we can avoid an edit war. But, again, you are incorrect to assert that Christianity was criminal before Licinius and Constantine in 313...Galerius made it legal again in 311. Ocyril ( talk) 23:10, 22 September 2014 (UTC) The first sentence is certainly inaccurate. First, it implies that the Catholic Church was "newly" legalized...as if for the first time, which is incorrect. The Christian Church was legalized by Gallienus in the mid 3rd century. Second, although it was made illegal during the "Great Persecution", it was not made legal once again by either Constantine or Licinius; Galerius made it legal once again by promulgating his Edict of Toleration in 311. The rest of the paragraph is, strictly speaking, not inaccurate, so i will leave it...even though (maybe) it anachronistically suggests that "homoousious" was a watchword for Athanasius from the very beginning, whereas the truth is he only emphasized that term long after the initial "controversy" (after 340). I think it would be better just to eliminate the whole paragraph, but will compromise by eliminating only the first sentence which is incorrect. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocyril ( talk • contribs) 16:38, 22 September 2014 (UTC) |

Regarding your message. I am not following you around. Your edits are simply bleeping on a number of pages I have watch-listed. In ictu oculi ( talk) 04:44, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Greek Orthodox ChurchAbbey, you really need to read and understand wp:verifiability. You don't have to like it. You just have to accept that this is the basis on which Wikipedia works. Of course Dr. K.'s edits are biased. Of course they are selected because they support his POV. That's the way that Wikipedia works. Getting yourself banned won't stop that happening and it certainly won't correct any mistakes in the article. You need to learn to work within the system that is Wikipedia. As far as Wikipedia is concerned, if something is verified by a reliable source then t is verified. That's the end to the story. You can't remove it, you can only find other material that challenges it, and let the sources speak for themselves. You would have achieved much more by doing a simple Google search to find those sources than by getting engaged in an edit war and arguing ion the talk page. When you find your references you can add whatever you like. It doesn't matter how much you revert or how much you argue, you won't be able to change a single damn thing. Those are the rules. You need to accept them and learn to work with them. If you can't learn to do that, your time here will be brief and frustrating. Mark Marathon ( talk) 08:25, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
