Are you seriously defending bathroom humor as protected under TPO? I got thank-yous from Jack Upland for both of my removals. Clearly he cares less than you about keeping that on the page. I'd suggest a self-revert but, absent that, someone else will be along shortly to do it for you. ― Mandruss ☎ 13:11, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I'm trying my best to be a wikipedia contributor and maybe I'm misunderstanding but it seems you undid a revision I did on adoption and it says rv spam. I don't know what RV is but I do know spam is not a good thing. Why did you remove the reference? The site I gave is the U.S. governmental site on adoption. It is not a for profit site. It's goal is to find homes for children free for adoption but not fingding homes due to being in the hard-to-place category due to special needs or age or other factors. By giving the information of what is available on the site, it will help the adoption of these children. So why in the world would you want to remove this information and info about a U.S. governmental site. Please reply and undo what you did so people are aware of the opportunity to actually view waiting children, therefor increase the chance of finding a home. Thanks. Gelo962. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gelo962 ( talk • contribs) 18:54, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for getting back to me. It sounds like you are acknowledging adoptuskids.org is indeed is not a business. It is the government's way to get all the waiting kids "in front of" possible adoptive families. And if you click at the bottom of the page on "made possible by a grant from Children's Bureau" you will see the Children's Bureau is part of the Office of the Administration of Children and Families. Anyway, I support you 100% in keeping profiteers out of this page and keep it up. However, showing more about the kids who need adoption the most, via adoption exchanges (the main one of which is adoptuskids.org, is very, very important, so I will put it up again under the foster care section, as all these kids are presenty in foster care. Maybe I should add an article for adoption exchanges as well so people know they exist. Thanks again. If you have any further doubts about adoptuskids.org, just start looking through it and you will see there is no profit entity in it at all.

Thanks so much! Glad I'm finally getting the hang of it. And someone else gave me some constructive advice on my first article (Randall Hicks), which I followed, which was much nicer than what seemed mean-spirited from one person who wanted it deleted. It felt like being the fat kid in school again, getting picked on by the cool kids, which in this case is the wikipedia pros. At least my second article (Brian Wiprud) has not gathered any negative comments, but we will see. I'd like to start adding some of authors I like, but will stop if they keep getting hammered. I've already learned to not provide too much information, just barebones info, which strikes me as very funny and counter to good research, but that's what I'm doing now, as instructed. I personally like the articles where I learn new info, not just telling me what I already know, like a list of their books. What good is that? Anyway, thanks.

Hi Batsun, you reverted my edits to the people before profit page. I removed their ideological stance of "united Ireland" and also changed their description from being a socialist political party, to a trotskyist political party, whats the issue ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Factfixer2113 ( talk • contribs) 16:29, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
They have now outlined their position as neither green or orange when it comes to the national question of Irish unity, so I think I was justified in removing it.
I will add and reference trotskyist shortly, but how does one go about editing their stance so as to reflect neither "united Ireland" or "unionist"? I would have thought removing the stance was appropriate. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Factfixer2113 ( talk • contribs) 16:40, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey. On Postal addresses in the Republic of Ireland I added a bunch of language tags that you've reverted. Language tagging has many benefits; MOS:ACCESS (specifically WP:ATLANG) recommends their use across Wikipedia, as does the Irish Manual of Style.
I know that An Post, Dáil, Taoiseach, Seanad Éireann and so on are Irish words that are widely used in English-language contexts in Ireland, but one of the purposes of language tagging is to provide help to speech synthesisers, for example. Applying language tags telling software "this word is (or was originally) Gaeilge" makes literally no difference to most users — there's no visible difference in the rendered page — but means that assistive technologies are less likely to screw things up.
Are you happy for me to revert your reversion, or would you like to discuss the matter further? — OwenBlacker ( talk) 12:58, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
PS: You might like to consider bold, revert, discuss rather than just reverting edits made in good-faith but with which you disagree. 😊
I understand now when I look back what I did was completely crazy and wrong at the time. I understand that when you pointed out what I was doing was wrong I ignored you and continued to defy the rules. I now understand how this works and I am trying to avoid mistakes and stick to the rules. I research many people and collect information which helps wikipedia. I really love wikipedia. I want to forget my mistakes which I understand was completely wrong. I want to learn from other elder editors.
How many blocks are you on now, ATL? You reverted me before even giving me time to post to talk. You've already demonstrated several times recently your lack of appreciation for policy, most recently your bizarre and patronising comment when removing a RS earlier today, so really - just don't.

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:
Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.
The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".
The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:
The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".
Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 03:26, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I had already reverted my edit. It's been a good few years since I've edited wikipedia and I forgot how to read a diff properly. I only saw the absence of the new material I inserted but returned it to the original version when I saw the other stuff was still gone too. 78.145.35.155 ( talk) 14:32, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
Here are the guidelines for including a religious category (slightly different from what you stated):
"Categories regarding religious beliefs (or lack of such) or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources."
Since the first guideline is contained in the second, here are the reasons why Casey's Catholicism is relevant to his public life/notability: 1) as a Catholic in nineteenth-century Ireland, his sphere of academic opportunity was probably reduced due to his faith (just look at the state of affairs at Trinity College, his alma mater); 2) he was a professor at Catholic universities (for at least the last 18 years of his life); and 3) he devoted his energies to the advancement of Catholic education. For more information, see his Catholic Encyclopedia article.
Therefore, he meets the guidelines for including a religious category. If you still feel like you need to remove the category, even though the articles meets the guidelines, then that is on you. Akasseb ( talk) 16:44, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

A discussion has been opened on the talk page. No idea why you expected me to start it, as I'm not the one that is trying to change what has long stood on the page. Neither position is cited, therefore either evidence or clear consensus on talk should be provided for a change when contested. Baffling that you would revert a decision to remove the political position section entirely, I did this to provide a neutral option until something is agreed upon (that way neither editors position is present).

I noticed that you repeatedly and disruptively deleted a section on a cat mouser, saying that because the cat is an animal and therefore it cannot have a politician infobox - despite the fact that it is used on many other mouser sections - I'll draw your attention to the page which details how "The Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office is the title of the official resident cat" and on that page, there is a politician infobox. Not only did you misconstrue this as trolling and undo the amendments without any consultation, but you aggressively attacked the said editor, even using profanities to prove your point of view. Now, the page is restricted, without any conversation with the actual editor, because it was deemed to be reckless editing, despite the fact that the same edits have been completed on other pages for mousers and it was deemed acceptable and the editor, I assume, just wanted to create a consistent format for all cat mousers. I ask that before you jump to conclusions about whether or not you believe the said edit was correct, you consult with the person as to what they were meaning to do and not act in the insolent and petulant way that you did - swear and try to remove anybody's views who are different to yours from the internet. If you disagree, talk - don't shut down.

User:Bastun. Your welcome. I am glad to have added to the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home Wikipedia entry the external link to The New York Times article about the Home. I thought the article solidly belonged in the external links. Iss246 ( talk) 03:45, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
A discussion has been opened on the talk page. No idea why you expected me to start it, as I'm not the one that is trying to change what has long stood on the page. Neither position is cited, therefore either evidence or clear consensus on talk should be provided for a change when contested. Baffling that you would revert a decision to remove the political position section entirely, I did this to provide a neutral option until something is agreed upon (that way neither editors position is present).

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.No wrongdoing implied; just a heads-up. Those articles have a minefield of procedural constraints... — JFG talk 12:26, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Bastun edit war (Result: Page semied). Thank you. NeilN talk to me 14:54, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
I noticed that you repeatedly and disruptively deleted a section on a cat mouser, saying that because the cat is an animal and therefore it cannot have a politician infobox - despite the fact that it is used on many other mouser sections - I'll draw your attention to the page which details how "The Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office is the title of the official resident cat" and on that page, there is a politician infobox. Not only did you misconstrue this as trolling and undo the amendments without any consultation, but you aggressively attacked the said editor, even using profanities to prove your point of view. Now, the page is restricted, without any conversation with the actual editor, because it was deemed to be reckless editing, despite the fact that the same edits have been completed on other pages for mousers and it was deemed acceptable and the editor, I assume, just wanted to create a consistent format for all cat mousers. I ask that before you jump to conclusions about whether or not you believe the said edit was correct, you consult with the person as to what they were meaning to do and not act in the insolent and petulant way that you did - swear and try to remove anybody's views who are different to yours from the internet. If you disagree, talk - don't shut down. I hope you change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RajeshFeiggo ( talk • contribs) 15:32, 28 December 2017 (UTC) RajeshFeiggo ( talk) 16:09, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
