May 2011[edit]Hi. Why did you remove the conflict of interest banner in the Touré article? Nightscream (talk) 14:46, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. As it is clear that you are probably User:Toure, on whose talk page warnings have previously been placed for this behavior, the next time you violate Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest guidelines by editing your own article, as well as the No Original Research, Verifiability or Reliable Sources policies by adding unsourced material to articles, as you did with this edit to Toure, you will be blocked from editing. Nightscream (talk) 15:14, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
I read the policies you linked to. Thank you. The fact that I'm teaching was unsourced, I'm sorry. How can I source that? I've read the pages on citation and don't understand what I need to add to substantiate that. It says in practice you don't need to cite everything. Do I need to add a link to the website for the school? Would that be enough substantiation? This is not original reporting, it's a publicly known fact so I didn't think it needed substantiation but 'm happy to provide it, I'm just not sure what that entails. I went to the sites of professors and they don't have substantiation that they're at whatever university so I'm not sure how to answer the request for sourcing. How does one source a publicly known fact about a teaching job at a known university? I'm trying to follow the rules, I just don't understand how. Also, I did explain why I removed the COI banner. That was the first thing I said in replying to you. It's at the top of this conversation. This page is not autobiography. There's nothing in it that's not already publicly known, there's no original reporting.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed.

August 2011[edit]Jeff, Please note that on the talk page for the Toure page it clearly states that my last name should not be added to the page. This was decided years ago. Adding it constitutes vandalism. Please help me keep the name from being added rather than going counter to what was decided years ago that the name should not be added. Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Touré with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 14:51, 27 August 2011 (UTC)The below note was added to the discussion page for the Toure page by a Wikipedia admin in 2006. I don't understand why you've decided to violate it now. The very valid reasons for the removal of the last name are clearly stated by a Wikipedia admin who decided the addition of the last name was not constructive. Please stop reverting. The issue about the adding of the last name to this page has already been decided. Thank you. "I have removed Toure's surname from the article for now. Seeing as this falls under the BLP policy, we should take extra care in protecting people's personal information, especially when they have stated that they don't want that information known. I have raised the issue on the BLP noticeboard, so we should receive some feed back and community consensus as to what to do soon. Until that time, please, do not add Toure's last name to the article. Thanks. Thε Halo Θ 09:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)" Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Touré with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. — Jeff G. ツ 14:59, 27 August 2011 (UTC)Jeff, More from the 2006 discussion about why my last name should not be added to the page: "As you can see from the discussion on the BLP noticeboard, it is believed that Touré's last name is not relievent to his notability, so there is no need for it to be put into the article. Thε Halo Θ 16:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)" Please stop your disruptive edits to this page. Jeff, In 2006 there was an edit war over this issue and a WIKI ADMIN judged that the last name should not be added to the page because it violates BLP policy. Do I need to quote this again? Apparently I do. You are making disruptive edits to the page and I do not understand why. Please read below. Adding my last name is a violation of BLP policy. Why are you violating this policy and repeatedly adding something that has already been judged as something that should not be added? "I have removed Toure's surname from the article for now. Seeing as this falls under the BLP policy, we should take extra care in protecting people's personal information, especially when they have stated that they don't want that information known. I have raised the issue on the BLP noticeboard, so we should receive some feed back and community consensus as to what to do soon. Until that time, please, do not add Toure's last name to the article. Thanks. Thε Halo Θ 09:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)"
Jeff, Thank you. I am sorry, too. I apologize for not being clearer sooner so as to avoid this trouble. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.54.246 (talk) 15:56, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring by violation of the three-revert rule at Touré. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Favonian (talk) 15:14, 27 August 2011 (UTC)Favonian, Hello, I welcome your addition to this conversation. I don't understand why I'm even in this "edit war" because this same dispute came up years ago, was discussed, was resolved and an explicit note was added to the page to not add my last name. A Wiki admin judged that my last name should not be added to the page because it violates BLP policy and is not relevant to my notability. Today someone decided to ignore that and add the name and revert my attempts to remove this vandalism. I will definitely request page protection because my page has been violated repeatedly today. I am merely trying to keep non-relevant information off of the page, information that has already been judged by Wiki admins as something that should not be added to the page. I am removing it because Wiki has already judged that it should not be there because of BLP policy. The person who keeps reverting is not giving any reason why they keep adding it back.
I understand you completely. I was edit warring. I apologize for that. I did not want to be doing that because I understand and agree that that is not good for everyone. Jeff, who I was edit warring with has apologized and agreed that the name need not be added. My last name is not generally a publicly known piece of information and I work hard to keep it from public records and it does not relate to my notability. As I said in 2006 there was a discussion about this on the BLP noticeboard and it was believed that my last name is not relevent to his notability, so there is no need for it to be put into the article. The person who put it on Huffington Post is a former friend who discovered the name by violating my privacy while in my house and was immediately made to leave because of that. He is now trying to show off that he knows the name even though he knows that it is something I do not want known. Many articles written about me have not included this name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.54.246 (talk) 15:48, 27 August 2011 (UTC) unblock|reason= 1 The edit war is over. Jeff has apologized for the edit he made and we will not be going back and forth about this any more. I apologize for being a part of it. Edit wars are bad for everyone and I do not want to edit war ever. This is the only issue over which I would ever be in an edit war. It is very important for me to keep my last name private. It is not part of how I am known. 2 I was trying to keep the page aligned with what was judged to be right the last time there was an edit war over this issue when it was judged that my last name should not be added to the page because it is not relevant to my notability. 3 I will try to resolve this issue in other ways such as page protection, which I did not know exists.
Thank you. I appreciate that. I take Wikipedia very seriously but I do not know all of its policies. I will not apply the word vandalism to the addition of my last name. (Occasionally people write on my page something like "He is gay" even though I am married (to a woman) with children. That is obviously vandalism.) I accept that adding my last name does not constitute vandalism in Wiki terms but I would say that in spirit it kindof does because most people who add it do so knowing that I don't want it known, so they add it as a passive-aggressive attack to me. But I accept your direction to never again use vandalism in the way I did earlier. I am happy to log in before making changes. But it is very important to me that my last name not become part of my page. If that happened I would seriously consider deleting it. I do not say this as a threat at all, I would be very sad to not be part of the Wiki encyclopedia and not being a part of Wiki would be far worse for me than for Wiki. But it would be devastating to me to go more than two decades not using my last name in any context and keeping it away from everyone as much as possible only to have it pasted on my Wiki page, ruining 20 plus years of not using it. (My entire writing career, even when I was writing for my college newspaper, has me writing only as Toure, never employing my last name.) So what do you propose I do? Apply for page protection on this issue? Is there something else I can do as this issue has repeatedly been decided but some people come by and decide to add it anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.54.246 (talk) 16:04, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for this, guys. Toure. Nightscream Nightscream, Thank you for your note. Going forward can you please help keep the last name off of the page? As previously stated that name is not part of the Toure story. Most of my friends don't know my last name and if they find out it's never because I've told them. If people ask what my last name is I tell them I don't use it. When my parents come to my public events they know not to tell people our last name. So you see the one-name thing is not just for public activities, it extends deep into my private life. It's my long-held desire to be known only as Toure to everyone I encounter professionally and personally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toure (talk • contribs) 17:00, 27 August 2011 (UTC) I'm sorry, I don't know how to employ the tildes. I see I've done it wrong but don't see examples of how to do it right. Toure —Preceding undated comment added 17:03, 27 August 2011 (UTC).
Again[edit]Nightscream Nightscream and jeff Jeff, I have someone (unsigned) trying to insert my surname into the Toure page counter to decisions made to not add this information earlier today and in 2006. Can you please help me police this so I do not get into another edit war? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Toure (talk • contribs) 01:58, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. 24.193.54.246 (talk) 04:33, 10 October 2011 (UTC)Toure It appears that a couple of editor's on the article's talk page are against omitting your surname, and a few have chimed in on Jimmy Wales talk page to voice similar sentiments, arguing that you're public figure who purposely became famous. Please refer to that discussion, and to Jimmy Wales' thoughts on the matter near the bottom of that discussion. This appears to be out of my hands, so I'd suggest you voice your concerns there, or email Mr. Wales privately. Sorry. Nightscream (talk) 18:41, 10 October 2011 (UTC) Can you help me understand what arguments will help me win this discussion? Wiki has its own rules which are being debated through this case but the fate of many things are at stake here. You are familiar with this issue. Please help me understand what arguments could be effective in swaying Jimmy. 24.193.54.246 (talk) 04:31, 11 October 2011 (UTC) Toure
