Hi Spike Danton! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. We hope to see you there!

Please familiarize yourself with WP:BURDEN. If you want to make changes to Wikipedia, then you need to provide the sources. None of this complaining about others not doing the work for you that you keep alluding to in your edit summaries. That's not how Wikipedia works, that's not a valid complaint here.
Please read up on WP:BRD. The short version is, you're free to make a bold edit and go and make a change to an article, but as soon as another editor challenges the change, you need to stop making the change, discuss on the talk page, and only make the change if there is WP:CONSENSUS to do so. You've violated this across a few pages now too.
Its great that you want to contribute to Wikipedia, but you need to keep in mind that, when writing here, you need to adhere to our rules in regards to sourcing all content and working collaboratively with others. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 14:11, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 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.
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.
Stop making that same edit to the Dreamcast page. You've made the change 4 times, and 3 editors object to it. Discuss. On. The. Talk. Page. And source every change you make on a particularly article. Sergecross73 msg me 16:03, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
You being an editor is disputable.
Also explain the behavior behind putting periods after everywhere when you said "on the talk page"? Because that seems to imply something that I'm fairly certain and admin shouldn't be doing. Spike Danton ( talk) 16:08, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
Have you previously edited under any other usernames? Like “Jakandsig”? Sergecross73 msg me 23:31, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello, @ Bbb23: I noticed that a block was recently placed on my account and it seems you're the user that implemented it. I believe there's a mistake, I haven't even logged in for the last several days. Perhaps there was a mix-up? Especially since I have on occasion edited with public connections. Spike Danton ( talk)
