Thanks for contributing to the article
David A. Stewart. However, do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be
verifiable through
reliable sources, preferably using
inline citations. Thanks! P.S. If you need further help, you can look at
Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the
Teahouse. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at Manchester United F.C. 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

You have been spoken to on multiple occasions now about your contributions, and how inappropriate they are. We even went to an RFC just entirely for your benefit in order to demonstrate how against consensus you are with your inclusions. You have been warned once this month already for edit warring and failing to engage with points of consensus or gaining consensus for what you are trying to include. Where I have collaborated and explained the correct format and appropriate content, you have blanket reverted and attempted to steam roll changes on each article you touch regardless of formatting, context, or tone. Koncorde ( talk) 21:45, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
I think, given the opposition to pretty much most of your edits, it's time to start discussing it on a talk page rather than continue to edit war over it on an article page, don't you think? I'm happy to help, and can start a new section, even somewhere neutral, for you to bring your opinions on what should be in the Sunderland article, and give some space and latitude to others who may wish to discuss it. What do you think? The Rambling Man ( Staying alive since 2005!) 21:48, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello Maxim.il89. You've been warned for edit warring per the result of your complaint at the edit warring noticeboard. There has been a war from September 11 through 15 in which both User:Koncorde and User:The Rambling Man have undone your edits. Though the RfC at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#RFC: Celebrity fans may have some nuances they are not big enough to allow your material back in to the article. You are risking a block if you revert again unless you have persuaded the others first. Thank you, EdJohnston ( talk) 16:31, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Try not to get into too much detail in the main Sunderland article. It should summarise the main history points but doesn't need to go into great detail. Koncorde ( talk) 20:00, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi. In general, you can't add images from the web on to Wikimedia Commons unless they come from certain sites which permit that to be done. No indication that the SB nation article has that. I have looked on a site which has photos of places in Britain that can be uploaded (geograph.co.uk) but unfortunately there are two images of that pub, but none of the mural. So you have two options, either travel to Sunderland yourself and take a photo which can then go on Commons as your own work, or just settle for having the article as a ref, then at least people will see the picture of the mural when they click on the link.

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Marc-André ter Stegen, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite ( talk) 23:01, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Marc-André ter Stegen, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite ( talk) 00:11, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Talk:Chris Mullin. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. — Bagumba ( talk) 13:47, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to assume bad faith when dealing with other editors, as you did at Talk:Chris Mullin, you may be blocked from editing. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. Harrias talk 08:23, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.--— Bagumba ( talk) 11:01, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
I've messaged people who were already involved in editing those pages or took part in the previous discussion." yet it looks like you failed to notify anyone who opposed you PoV even if they took part in the previous discussion. AFAICT, you only notified those who seemed to support your PoV. So it's ironic you also claim in the same breath "
Isn't the idea to get as many people as possible to present their point of view?" when you're apparently not interested in the PoV of those who disagree with you. Nil Einne ( talk) 16:16, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Anyone reading their comments can see they weren't serious. And regardless of what idiocy some other editor suggested they would do, this does not excuse you engaging in misbehaviour first. As I said at ANI, you are always going to come across worse if you selective notify, regardless of how genuine and reasonable your belief was that someone else was going to (rather than already has) notified. There are plenty of ways you can deal with an editor who is planning to canvass. Canvassing first is not one of them.
Also these notifications [1] [2] are clearly not neutral notifications. They may have been a bit better than your first set, but all that really means is that your first set were utterly terrible. If you had engaged with the editors who had tried to discuss this with you above before posting, it's quite likely they would have explained this to you. Indeed there was already a suggest wording you could have used before your second round of notifications. Instead you largely ignored their concerns, and acted like you knew what you were doing when you did not so you still posted non-neutral notifications.
Look we were all new at times and we all make mistakes. And I myself have the tendency to get defensive when challenged. But ultimately, when a bunch of editors are telling you you're doing something wrong, it's likely you are. So instead of getting defensive, you need to listen and talk to them and try and understand what the problem is. There are also resources like WP:Teahouse or WP:Help Desk where you can get help. There are plenty of editors willing and able to help you learn if you try.
And by the same token, most editors here are fairly forgiving. But they have a lot less patience when the same editor keeps making the same or very similar mistakes in part because they're refusing to listen to what they're being told. I think the vast majority of us, probably all of us, still do not want you to be blocked. What we want you to do is engage with us and learn from your mistakes and stop repeating them so you can become a better editor and there is no reason to block you. Punishing people is explicitly against what we do here, blocks are only meant to be preventative and not punitive. But by the same token since if you refuse to learn and accept help, blocking may be the only option.
Nil Einne ( talk) 20:58, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
As with many communities, Wikipedia has to some extent developed it's own norms which may be different from those elsewhere. You should be very careful about assuming what applies somewhere else you volunteer applies here, as our norms, needs and requirements may be different.
Anyway there are lots of problems with your second message. But the most obvious ones are that you tried to summarise what you claim are the points for and against the proposal. You are not supposed to do that since it may influence editor's views before they visit the RfC, well actually RM in this case. It may even stop editors from visiting since they feel there is no point, the issue is clear cut. Remember that RMs (as with any RfC like discussion) are explicitly not votes, they are intended to be part of a consensus building process.
Also, your summary is misleading. You claim that the only argument against your proposal was "The basketball player has more views
". I'm not going to double check, but I'm fairly sure even at the time you posted it was not the only argument against your proposal. Further you raised the claim "while outside the US he's hardly known
" without any counterbalance. In reality this claim is highly disputed in the RM.
And go back to our canvassing guidelines. Remember that it says "Notifications must be polite, neutrally worded with a neutral title, clear in presentation, and brief—the user can always find out more by clicking on the link to the discussion
." Do you really think your second message complies with this? Is it brief?
I would emphasise once again that Schazjmd had already given you a simple wording. Further the canvassing guideline also mentions the template {{ Please see}} that you can use. Linked in the see also of please see is {{ WikiProject please see}} designed for WikiProjects. And I'd also mention again that if you didn't want to use either of these options or weren't sure how, you could have asked about them or asked about your wording here or somewhere that offers help before posting. It seemed likely that Schazjmd and likely others including Bagumba would have helped you if you'd asked.
AFAICT, most of the block "threats" have just been standard templated warnings. To be clear, this means they are templates developed by the community for the purpose of notifying editors of something, there's a good chance the editor using them didn't develop the wording. The "you may be blocked" notification is there because there because ultimately you will be blocked if you continue and it's important you understand. (We often won't block editors if they weren't informed they may be blocked.) Further while we use escalating warnings for some things, for others like canvassing we don't. This is probably for several reasons the key one is that editors are supposed to stop canvassing the moment they are informed. Also canvassing rarely comes up for completely new editors.
And you have been here since at least August 2019 so cannot claim to be a completely new editor. While it's fine that there are still lots of things you don't understand, by now you should have learnt to accept (even if not like) that blocks will sometimes be mentioned. And you do have a responsibility to learn how to edit appropriately here, no matter how you feel about the way you were approached. And I'd note that whatever you think of the canvassing template and what Bagumba said, you were approached by Schazjmd and made no real attempt to engage with them. Why did Bagumba's template or anything they said elsewhere, stop you from doing that?
Also I wouldn't call pinging an "automatic invitation". It's way to alert someone to something. Pinging can be used for the purpose of notifying editors of RfC like discussions. But since pings don't always work and also because it can clutter a discussion, some editors feel talk page notifications are better. (Just like they are explicitly forbidden in most cases where notifications are compulsory e.g. ANI.) I'm fairly sure hundreds if not thousands of talk page notifications of RfC like discussions are given every day without problem. And since you can't ping WikiProjects, if you are going to notify them you do need to learn how to do it neutrally. What all of this adds up to is that IMO you need to try and understand where you went wrong and why.
Even if you use pings, you still need to understand the importance of notification selection and indeed this is another risk of pings. Because they are relatively easy to use, there's probably an increased risk you won't think about who you are pinging and why. Based on your responses so far, it's not clear to me that you understand that the way you selected editors to notify the first time was wrong. By all appearances, you only notified those who agreed with you. As I've said, notifying everyone (with reasonable exceptions) who had participated in the previous RM or on the talk page likely would have been okay if done neutrally but this isn't what you did.
And further you then followed this up by once again selectively notifying WikiProjects most of which seemed more likely you support your PoV. Again, whatever you believed some other editor planned to do, they had not done anything at the time. There is no excuse for selectively notifying WikiProjects that support your PoV based on what some other editor may or may not do in the future. You are responsible for your actions, and you cannot rely on another editor to correct them. Indeed an editor who indicates genuine intention to canvass and refuses to talked out of it could easily be blocked before it happens. Frankly I don't think there was any need to notify quite so many projects. Again that's why it's better to talk about it first especially when you're relatively new, probably in the RM. Discuss with others what WikiProjects to notify. This doesn't have to be long, come up with a list and ask others if they have any comments.
Maxim.il89, it looks like you're new to the Good Article nomination process. I imagine that's why you are not acquainted with the the following from the
nomination instructions page: Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination.
You have never contributed to the article, so you aren't a significant contributor. I have therefore reverted your nomination as out of process.
Just looking at the article, I can see that it doesn't yet meet the GA criteria in a number of ways. The lead section is far too short and fails to summarize the rest of the article, there is repetition in the body of the article, it needs a good copyedit, and the sourcing is not adequate to meet verifiability requirements. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, and best of luck going forward. BlueMoonset ( talk) 01:19, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Maxim, It's great you use sources to back up your statements, but please use the citation templates for sourcing as bare URLs are erroneous. Especially in featured articles such as Sunderland A.F.C., the quality of sources and sourcing is very important. Thanks, WA8MTWAYC ( talk) 13:56, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Politics and sports into
Association football and politics. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. —

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of Jewish Nobel laureates; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Grayfell ( talk) 19:32, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. jps ( talk) 01:39, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
The article Sunderland A.F.C. supporters you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Sunderland A.F.C. supporters for issues which need to be addressed.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Jews. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as " edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges.
Please do not do a knee-jerk revert of Grayfell's edits. You need to discuss these changes on the talk page with other editors. Liz Read! Talk! 01:55, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

In response to your request for arbitration of this issue, the Arbitration Committee has agreed that arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.
Disputes among editors regarding the content of an article should use structured discussion on the talk page between the disputing editors. However, requests for comment, third opinions and other venues are available if discussion alone does not yield a consensus. The dispute resolution noticeboard also exists as a method of resolving content disputes that aren't easily resolved with talk page discussion.
For grievances about the conduct of a Wikipedia editor, you should approach the user (in a civil, professional way) on their user talk page. However, other mechanisms for resolving a dispute also exist, such as raising the issue at the administrators' noticeboard for incidents.
In all cases, you should review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution to learn more about resolving disputes on Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia community has many venues for resolving disputes and grievances, and it is important to explore them instead of requesting arbitration in the first instance. For more information on the process of arbitration, please see the Arbitration Policy and the Guide to Arbitration. I hope this advice is useful, and please do not hesitate to contact a member of the community if you have more questions. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 23:02, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

(cont) 00:09, 28 October 2020 (UTC)You are just being far too disruptive and need a time-out to think about how your conduct has resulted in a bunch of editors having to clean up after you. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 00:10, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Maxim.il89, you've had several blocks over the past 10 days. It's time to face the fact that the way you are dealing with things isn't working. For one thing, you need to stop reverting other editors, even, or especially, if they've reverted your edits. See WP:BRD, after an edit is reverted, it's time to discuss the edit on the article talk page. You might also start talking to other editors you are having a conflict with, in order to understand the dispute, rather than taking it to a noticeboard.
To give you some perspective, I can't think of an editor or admin on Wikipedia that I know well that doesn't have at least one other editor that drives them crazy or rubs them the wrong way. This is typical of collaborative projects. We still must all find a way to get along. Sometimes, that means keeping your distance or ignoring some editor pushing your buttons, sometimes it involves going to the editor's user talk page and directly asking what the problem is. At times, you need to recognize that it's your own behavior that is the problem. I know there are editors here who can't stand me but you have to find a way to contribute to the project in spite of that. I know I got through a lot of early conflicts by going to the the Teahouse and asking some basic, "How do I get along with?" questions. Or just go to another editor for support or a reality check.

Hi there, I'm afraid to say that Talk:Sunderland A.F.C. supporters/GA1 has been failed. I have noticed that you have not edited in nearly a month and since it seems that you will not be able to complete the work on it I am failing it.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Sunderland A.F.C. supporters, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. You have been warned by numerous editors about the way that you go about editing wikipedia and treating every article as a battleground for your opinion. We follow basic concepts of WP:NPOV, WP:VERIFY, WP:ORIGINAL and you are repeatedly in violation of VERIFY and ORIGINAL, and express a non-neutral POV by relying on both unreliable sources to make claims, but also to make claims not supported by the source itself, or a WP:SYNTH of content based on original research. Stop. You have had a year to learn how to cite articles and are showing both no inclination to follow basic guidance. Koncorde ( talk) 23:58, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Sunderland A.F.C. supporters, you may be blocked from editing. You are removing reliable sources, replacing with unreliable sources, making claims not in the sources, and attempting to refute reliable sources that say otherwise. This is beyond disruptive, and again more edit warring. Koncorde ( talk) 00:23, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

I don't think my block was entirely fair. I agree I went too far with my attitude... however, when you get stalked by one user all the time, and I've brought it up before, it does get to you.

Your recent editing history at Manchester United F.C. 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.

You have been spoken to on multiple occasions now about your contributions, and how inappropriate they are. We even went to an RFC just entirely for your benefit in order to demonstrate how against consensus you are with your inclusions. You have been warned once this month already for edit warring and failing to engage with points of consensus or gaining consensus for what you are trying to include. Where I have collaborated and explained the correct format and appropriate content, you have blanket reverted and attempted to steam roll changes on each article you touch regardless of formatting, context, or tone.

I think, given the opposition to pretty much most of your edits, it's time to start discussing it on a talk page rather than continue to edit war over it on an article page, don't you think? I'm happy to help, and can start a new section, even somewhere neutral, for you to bring your opinions on what should be in the Sunderland article, and give some space and latitude to others who may wish to discuss it.

Hello Maxim.il89. You've been warned for edit warring per the result of your complaint at the edit warring noticeboard. There has been a war from September 11 through 15 in which both User:Koncorde and User:The Rambling Man have undone your edits. Though the RfC at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#RFC: Celebrity fans may have some nuances they are not big enough to allow your material back in to the article. You are risking a block if you revert again unless you have persuaded the others first. Thank you, EdJohnston ( talk) 16:31, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi. In general, you can't add images from the web on to Wikimedia Commons unless they come from certain sites which permit that to be done. No indication that the SB nation article has that. I have looked on a site which has photos of places in Britain that can be uploaded (geograph.co.uk) but unfortunately there are two images of that pub, but none of the mural. So you have two options, either travel to Sunderland yourself and take a photo which can then go on Commons as your own work, or just settle for having the article as a ref, then at least people will see the picture of the mural when they click on the link.

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Talk:Chris Mullin. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. — Bagumba ( talk) 13:47, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

I've messaged people who were already involved in editing those pages or took part in the previous discussion." yet it looks like you failed to notify anyone who opposed you PoV even if they took part in the previous discussion. AFAICT, you only notified those who seemed to support your PoV. So it's ironic you also claim in the same breath "
Isn't the idea to get as many people as possible to present their point of view?" when you're apparently not interested in the PoV of those who disagree with you. Nil Einne ( talk) 16:16, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Anyone reading their comments can see they weren't serious. And regardless of what idiocy some other editor suggested they would do, this does not excuse you engaging in misbehaviour first. As I said at ANI, you are always going to come across worse if you selective notify, regardless of how genuine and reasonable your belief was that someone else was going to (rather than already has) notified. There are plenty of ways you can deal with an editor who is planning to canvass. Canvassing first is not one of them.
Also these notifications [1] [2] are clearly not neutral notifications. They may have been a bit better than your first set, but all that really means is that your first set were utterly terrible. If you had engaged with the editors who had tried to discuss this with you above before posting, it's quite likely they would have explained this to you. Indeed there was already a suggest wording you could have used before your second round of notifications. Instead you largely ignored their concerns, and acted like you knew what you were doing when you did not so you still posted non-neutral notifications.
Look we were all new at times and we all make mistakes. And I myself have the tendency to get defensive when challenged. But ultimately, when a bunch of editors are telling you you're doing something wrong, it's likely you are. So instead of getting defensive, you need to listen and talk to them and try and understand what the problem is. There are also resources like WP:Teahouse or WP:Help Desk where you can get help. There are plenty of editors willing and able to help you learn if you try.
And by the same token, most editors here are fairly forgiving. But they have a lot less patience when the same editor keeps making the same or very similar mistakes in part because they're refusing to listen to what they're being told. I think the vast majority of us, probably all of us, still do not want you to be blocked. What we want you to do is engage with us and learn from your mistakes and stop repeating them so you can become a better editor and there is no reason to block you. Punishing people is explicitly against what we do here, blocks are only meant to be preventative and not punitive. But by the same token since if you refuse to learn and accept help, blocking may be the only option.
Nil Einne ( talk) 20:58, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
As with many communities, Wikipedia has to some extent developed it's own norms which may be different from those elsewhere. You should be very careful about assuming what applies somewhere else you volunteer applies here, as our norms, needs and requirements may be different.
Anyway there are lots of problems with your second message. But the most obvious ones are that you tried to summarise what you claim are the points for and against the proposal. You are not supposed to do that since it may influence editor's views before they visit the RfC, well actually RM in this case. It may even stop editors from visiting since they feel there is no point, the issue is clear cut. Remember that RMs (as with any RfC like discussion) are explicitly not votes, they are intended to be part of a consensus building process.
Also, your summary is misleading. You claim that the only argument against your proposal was "The basketball player has more views
". I'm not going to double check, but I'm fairly sure even at the time you posted it was not the only argument against your proposal. Further you raised the claim "while outside the US he's hardly known
" without any counterbalance. In reality this claim is highly disputed in the RM.
And go back to our canvassing guidelines. Remember that it says "Notifications must be polite, neutrally worded with a neutral title, clear in presentation, and brief—the user can always find out more by clicking on the link to the discussion
." Do you really think your second message complies with this? Is it brief?
I would emphasise once again that Schazjmd had already given you a simple wording. Further the canvassing guideline also mentions the template {{ Please see}} that you can use. Linked in the see also of please see is {{ WikiProject please see}} designed for WikiProjects. And I'd also mention again that if you didn't want to use either of these options or weren't sure how, you could have asked about them or asked about your wording here or somewhere that offers help before posting. It seemed likely that Schazjmd and likely others including Bagumba would have helped you if you'd asked.
AFAICT, most of the block "threats" have just been standard templated warnings. To be clear, this means they are templates developed by the community for the purpose of notifying editors of something, there's a good chance the editor using them didn't develop the wording. The "you may be blocked" notification is there because there because ultimately you will be blocked if you continue and it's important you understand. (We often won't block editors if they weren't informed they may be blocked.) Further while we use escalating warnings for some things, for others like canvassing we don't. This is probably for several reasons the key one is that editors are supposed to stop canvassing the moment they are informed. Also canvassing rarely comes up for completely new editors.
And you have been here since at least August 2019 so cannot claim to be a completely new editor. While it's fine that there are still lots of things you don't understand, by now you should have learnt to accept (even if not like) that blocks will sometimes be mentioned. And you do have a responsibility to learn how to edit appropriately here, no matter how you feel about the way you were approached. And I'd note that whatever you think of the canvassing template and what Bagumba said, you were approached by Schazjmd and made no real attempt to engage with them. Why did Bagumba's template or anything they said elsewhere, stop you from doing that?
Also I wouldn't call pinging an "automatic invitation". It's way to alert someone to something. Pinging can be used for the purpose of notifying editors of RfC like discussions. But since pings don't always work and also because it can clutter a discussion, some editors feel talk page notifications are better. (Just like they are explicitly forbidden in most cases where notifications are compulsory e.g. ANI.) I'm fairly sure hundreds if not thousands of talk page notifications of RfC like discussions are given every day without problem. And since you can't ping WikiProjects, if you are going to notify them you do need to learn how to do it neutrally. What all of this adds up to is that IMO you need to try and understand where you went wrong and why.
Even if you use pings, you still need to understand the importance of notification selection and indeed this is another risk of pings. Because they are relatively easy to use, there's probably an increased risk you won't think about who you are pinging and why. Based on your responses so far, it's not clear to me that you understand that the way you selected editors to notify the first time was wrong. By all appearances, you only notified those who agreed with you. As I've said, notifying everyone (with reasonable exceptions) who had participated in the previous RM or on the talk page likely would have been okay if done neutrally but this isn't what you did.
And further you then followed this up by once again selectively notifying WikiProjects most of which seemed more likely you support your PoV. Again, whatever you believed some other editor planned to do, they had not done anything at the time. There is no excuse for selectively notifying WikiProjects that support your PoV based on what some other editor may or may not do in the future. You are responsible for your actions, and you cannot rely on another editor to correct them. Indeed an editor who indicates genuine intention to canvass and refuses to talked out of it could easily be blocked before it happens. Frankly I don't think there was any need to notify quite so many projects. Again that's why it's better to talk about it first especially when you're relatively new, probably in the RM. Discuss with others what WikiProjects to notify. This doesn't have to be long, come up with a list and ask others if they have any comments.
Maxim.il89, it looks like you're new to the Good Article nomination process. I imagine that's why you are not acquainted with the the following from the
nomination instructions page: Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination.
You have never contributed to the article, so you aren't a significant contributor. I have therefore reverted your nomination as out of process.
Just looking at the article, I can see that it doesn't yet meet the GA criteria in a number of ways. The lead section is far too short and fails to summarize the rest of the article, there is repetition in the body of the article, it needs a good copyedit, and the sourcing is not adequate to meet verifiability requirements. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, and best of luck going forward. BlueMoonset ( talk) 01:19, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of Jewish Nobel laureates; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Grayfell ( talk) 19:32, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of Jewish Nobel laureates; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree.

An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period.I have made only one edit in the last few days, but 3RR is a bright line rule regardless of my actions. Grayfell ( talk) 00:43, 15 October 2020 (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:Maxim.il89 reported by User:Grayfell (Result: ). Thank you. Grayfell ( talk) 01:32, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. jps ( talk) 01:39, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
The article Sunderland A.F.C. supporters you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Sunderland A.F.C. supporters for issues which need to be addressed. (I have asked for a second opinion and therefore most of the comments are from a different user.) REDMAN 2019 ( talk) 10:16, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Jews. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as " edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges.
Please do not do a knee-jerk revert of Grayfell's edits. You need to discuss these changes on the talk page with other editors. Liz Read! Talk! 01:55, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Johnuniq (
talk) 09:36, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Edit warring is defined at WP:EW. Even it weren't, Wikipedia requires collaboration and disputes are not settled by determining who is willing to revert most. There is a report regarding disruption at another article at the edit warring noticeboard ( permalink) and edit warring on multiple pages is particularly undesirable even if that report resulted only in page protection. Don't edit war. Johnuniq ( talk) 09:36, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

In response to your request for arbitration of this issue, the Arbitration Committee has agreed that arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.
Disputes among editors regarding the content of an article should use structured discussion on the talk page between the disputing editors. However, requests for comment, third opinions and other venues are available if discussion alone does not yield a consensus. The dispute resolution noticeboard also exists as a method of resolving content disputes that aren't easily resolved with talk page discussion.
For grievances about the conduct of a Wikipedia editor, you should approach the user (in a civil, professional way) on their user talk page. However, other mechanisms for resolving a dispute also exist, such as raising the issue at the administrators' noticeboard for incidents.
In all cases, you should review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution to learn more about resolving disputes on Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia community has many venues for resolving disputes and grievances, and it is important to explore them instead of requesting arbitration in the first instance. For more information on the process of arbitration, please see the Arbitration Policy and the Guide to Arbitration. I hope this advice is useful, and please do not hesitate to contact a member of the community if you have more questions. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 23:02, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
An article you recently created,
Cadenza Piano, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

(cont) 00:09, 28 October 2020 (UTC)You are just being far too disruptive and need a time-out to think about how your conduct has resulted in a bunch of editors having to clean up after you. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 00:10, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
Maxim.il89, you've had several blocks over the past 10 days. It's time to face the fact that the way you are dealing with things isn't working. For one thing, you need to stop reverting other editors, even, or especially, if they've reverted your edits. See WP:BRD, after an edit is reverted, it's time to discuss the edit on the article talk page. You might also start talking to other editors you are having a conflict with, in order to understand the dispute, rather than taking it to a noticeboard.
To give you some perspective, I can't think of an editor or admin on Wikipedia that I know well that doesn't have at least one other editor that drives them crazy or rubs them the wrong way. This is typical of collaborative projects. We still must all find a way to get along. Sometimes, that means keeping your distance or ignoring some editor pushing your buttons, sometimes it involves going to the editor's user talk page and directly asking what the problem is. At times, you need to recognize that it's your own behavior that is the problem. I know there are editors here who can't stand me but you have to find a way to contribute to the project in spite of that. I know I got through a lot of early conflicts by going to the the Teahouse and asking some basic, "How do I get along with?" questions. Or just go to another editor for support or a reality check.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Sunderland A.F.C. supporters, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. You have been warned by numerous editors about the way that you go about editing wikipedia and treating every article as a battleground for your opinion. We follow basic concepts of WP:NPOV, WP:VERIFY, WP:ORIGINAL and you are repeatedly in violation of VERIFY and ORIGINAL, and express a non-neutral POV by relying on both unreliable sources to make claims, but also to make claims not supported by the source itself, or a WP:SYNTH of content based on original research. Stop. You have had a year to learn how to cite articles and are showing both no inclination to follow basic guidance. Koncorde ( talk) 23:58, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Sunderland A.F.C. supporters, you may be blocked from editing. You are removing reliable sources, replacing with unreliable sources, making claims not in the sources, and attempting to refute reliable sources that say otherwise. This is beyond disruptive, and again more edit warring. Koncorde ( talk) 00:23, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
I don't think my block was entirely fair. I agree I went too far with my attitude... however, when you get stalked by one user all the time, and I've brought it up before, it does get to you. Yes, I should've handled it better, and if I get unblocked, I'll work on that. However, I also feel like there is an issue on Wikipedia when an older user gets leverage to act in a disrespectful or condescending way. Again, doesn't justify my behaviour, but truth be said.
