Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Broadcast domain with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Broadcast domain. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Optakeover ^(Talk) 07:24, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Broadcast domain. Optakeover ^(Talk) 07:29, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of "Why are autobots preventing page updates?"

A page you created, Why are autobots preventing page updates?, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is nonsense or gibberish.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Seaphoto^Talk 07:35, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the article and protected it from re-creation. Such complaints do not belong in article space. Please don't create any more similar pages; otherwise, you will be blocked from editing. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 07:48, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

An article cannot argue with itself. If you believe the article is inaccurate, please take it to the talk page. Alternately, you can correct it yourself, as long as you provide reliable references; unexplained major rewrites will likely be reverted again. And in any case, if you attempt to edit an article and it gets reverted, you shouldn't immediately restore your preferred version. Except in case of vandalism or other clearly inappropriate edits, a user should not perform a revert more than three times on the same article within 24 hours; users who violate this rule or otherwise engage in revert warring may be blocked from editing. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 07:41, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I assure you, giving donations to Wikipedia (or threatening to withhold them) entitles you to absolutely no privileges. Content of Wikipedia articles needs to be referenced using reliable sources; this is policy. Content disputes are to be resolved by discussion and in accordance with the relevant policies and guidelines, not by revert warring; this is also policy. I have marked the article for a factual accuracy dispute; if this needs to be debated further, this can be continued on the article talk page or at editing assistance. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 09:57, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well nothing else seem to work Mr. Mike Rosoft. You tell me, what does? Why has this page not been allowed to updated in SIX years and why is it allowed to display inaccurate, misleading, and dishonest information? That is the real question you should be asking. I am the one trying to do the right thing. Why are you doing the wrong thing? You tell me? I have real work to do. If you and wikipedia care nothing about integrity, I am truly done. Delete my account, whatever... I have some real work to do...

I am interested in the article being as accurate as possible. But adding comments in an article that make it argue with itself, revert warring, and creation of nonsensical articles as a complaint against "autobots" is not the way to go. (In any case, we are NOT going to disable the anti-vandalism bots. Technically, your edit wasn't vandalism, but it still didn't belong in the article.)
I am not an expert in network protocols. However, User:Zac67 has responded on the article talk page, saying that you were mistaken: "A broadcast domain is the domain of nodes that are addressed by a layer 2 broadcast – a destination MAC of all 1s (on Ethernet)". (I do recall from a network class at the university I attended that such addressing exists; a typical usage is when a computer needs to obtain its IP address from DHCP.) If you want to pursue this issue further, please do it on the article talk page or with the user himself. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:53, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In case anyone's interested: I've been a network engineer for 20+ years and there must be some things that I know about. I've deployed pretty much every Ethernet flavor from 10BASE2 to 1000BASE-LX and could show you some certificates if required. The whole talk page discussion is complete nonsense. There are broadcasts on layer 3/IP but there are broadcasts on layer 2/Ethernet as well – actually, L3 broadcasts employ L2 broadcasts to get the job done. It's the latter (L2) that the term broadcast domain refers to. L2 broadcasts are used by DHCP, ARP, RIPv1, IPX SAP, and so on. Zac67 (talk) 21:00, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
