User talk:Gerben v

April 2013

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Stanbridge Earls School. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Manxwoman (talk) 20:41, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Stanbridge Earls School. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. You have previously stated that you are going to "revert our disagreements up to a higher level so more people can get involved from Wikipedia and help to solve our clearly conflicting views." In the meantime do NOT make further changes to the Stanbridge Earls School site or they will be immediately reverted and you will be reported for persistent vandalism to the page. Manxwoman (talk) 20:54, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Stanbridge Earls School, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Manxwoman (talk) 21:03, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Signature

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. - David Biddulph (talk) 23:02, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring: Stanbridge Earls School

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Stanbridge Earls School. 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.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Toddst1 (talk) 23:10, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AIV report

Thank you for making a report about Stanbridge Earls School on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you. This appears to be a content dispute. Please report it appropriately at WP:ANEW. Tonywalton ^Talk 00:50, 13 April 2013 (UTC) Tonywalton ^Talk 00:50, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Hello, Gerben v. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Stanbridge Earls School, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Inaccurate or inappropriate edit summaries

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Stanbridge Earls School has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. This edit did not remove an "irrelevent, unnecessary & un-newsworthy para." - it removed an entire section - some 7 paras - which was well-sourced and relevant. Your offhand dismissal that the sexual abuse scandal at the school is merely a "smear campaign" demonstrates your CoI with this article and your apparent inability to edit it from a neutral point of view. I suggest you take heed of the good advice previously offered and Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass. Keri (talk) 23:17, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
