April 2020

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Diane Abbott, 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, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:41, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Angela Rayner, 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) 22:55, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Second Johnson ministry, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. We have rules about capitalisation which you can find in MOS:STYLE. The title of this article and that of the Second May ministry reflect the style and use of the titles within the articles follow the same rule. This is the second time you have inserted this change despite the edit summary of the correction directing you to MOS:STYLE. Please adhere to site rules.

Overlinking

Please take a minute or two to read MOS:OVERLINK - a list of what should NOT be linked - this includes:-

"Common occupations (e.g., accountant, politician, actor)" {my bold)
Major "countries (e.g., Japan/Japanese, Brazil/Brazilian)"
Major "nationalities and ethnicities (e.g., English, British, Chinese, Turkish, African-American, Hispanic)" {my bold)

Therefore your repeated linking of politician and British are specifically mentioned, and England is considered a "major country" so should not be linked either.
Can I leave you to revert your recent overlinking edits? - Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 17:44, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1997 United Kingdom general election, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Third party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Abe Shinzo

Would you please stop inserting 'outgoing' in the infobox of Abe Shinzo. We don't use those for lame duck officials. TBD in the successor's section, will do. GoodDay (talk) 13:33, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically File:1965 Jeremy Thorpe.jpg, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FDW777 (talk) 07:15, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions notification

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 Troubles. 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.

FDW777 (talk) 08:04, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also the Martin McGuinness‎ article, as well as other Troubles related articles, is under a 1-revert-restriction, meaning no more than 1 revert in a 24 hour period. For maximum transparency your addition of Elizabeth Windsor to various articles was a revert, as well as being against the consensus at Talk:Martin McGuinness/Archive 2#Monarch/ appointed by.

Sister cities

It's convention here to mention sovereign countries in lists of sister cities. Spreading your strong opinions to periphoral articles will not do you any favours here. I wouldn't mind seeing an independent Scotland, but Wikipedia reflects the world as it is, not necessarily as subjects in a particular city/region want it. This is at least your second time trying this; any more and you may be blocked. Graham87 17:31, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Problems

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Nelson Mandela, you may be blocked from editing. Modifications also matter. You were warned about WP:V in April Zazpot (talk) 02:26, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not disruptive. Ciaran.london (talk) 11:58, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. Please, get a consensus first, before adding such edits to the infoboxes of Jill Biden & Doug Emhoff articles. GoodDay (talk) 18:19, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Ciaran.london (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I would like to be unblocked. If you unblock me I’ll just use this account, not the other one and I will only make constructive edits.

Decline reason:

This does not explain why you were violating WP:SOCK. Yamla (talk) 14:34, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@Yamla: I did not know that having multiple accounts was a violation of Wikipedia rules, I only discovered this after I was blocked. Ciaran.london (talk) 15:33, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Ciaran.london (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I would like to be unblocked as I didn’t know that having multiple accounts was against Wiki rules. And if I’m unblocked, I would only operate from this account and make constructive edits.

Decline reason:

No. You've been editing logged-out as recently as today. SQL ^{Query me!} 15:39, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't know? Yet you continually swapped between accounts to support your own position and get around editting restrictions? Sorry but I believe it. Canterbury Tail talk 18:39, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I used different accounts before I had any knowledge of the rules in place. Ciaran.london (talk) 12:06, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ciaran.london, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Neveselbert you have two accounts and are not blocked for sock-puppetry. Ciaran.london (talk) 17:55, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ciaran.london That's different. His alternate account, Neveselbert (mobile), does not obfuscate his true identity. As such, he wouldn't be able to use it to support his own arguments because it explicitly states that it's from the same person. See WP:SOCKLEGIT --Mattevt (talk) 01:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
