Welcome

Hello, JFKenn, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} and your question on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Stifle (talk) 18:37, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Computer virus do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Kuru (talk) 22:59, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Abortion. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. | Uncle Milty | talk | 23:24, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to 401(k), Rockaway, Queens and Abortion. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. TJRC (talk) 23:52, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pawn Stars

Hi. Where in the episode does R. Lee Ermey appear? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 05:58, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, if it helps, the video I used to double-check is here. Parts 2 and 3 are on the sidebar on the right. Nightscream (talk) 06:20, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. There are two points that need to be made here:

First, please dial down the uncivil attitude. You have zero basis for asserting that another editor necessarily did not do a "fact check", or was not "careful" enough in doing so, simply because you disagree with their edits, or are ignorant of Wikipedia policy on account of being new here. In point of fact, I have seen the episode numerous times, and knew that Ermey did not appear in it, and checked it again, even providing you with a YouTube link in my post right above this one, so that you could tell me where in the episode you thought he appeared. Assuming, without any evidence, that an editor you disagree with did not do this or that, is a violation of WP:Assume Good Faith and WP:Civility. The proper procedure during a dispute is to editors to talk with each other, much as I attempted to do above by asking you where he was in the episode. For your part, you did not respond. So let's agree to talk instead of making assumptions about each other, okay?

Second, since you seem to imply being "careful about reviewing material" is something that I need work on, I'll just assume that you already did this yourself when it came to reviewing WP:CIRCULAR, which explains, quite logically, that other Wikipedia articles cannot be used as sources, since that would be circular sourcing. So I assume that you have some rationale as to why doing so in your previous edit summary was somehow consistent with this policy. If so, can you explain it to me?

If you tell me where Ermey was in the episode, I'd be more than happy to review the episode yet again, and revert the article myself if I see him in it. But please, no more unfounded assumptions about my editing skills, okay? And if you never need any help with editing or with understanding any of Wikipedia's policies, please don't hesitate to ask.

(Btw, if the first sentence of my last edit summary doesn't make sense, it's because my browser supplied an old one as I was typing, and I mistakenly hit "Enter" before reviewing it to see if it was the right one.)

Peace. :-) Nightscream (talk) 00:04, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Just FYI, the episode just aired on TV, so I watched it again, in the offhand possibility that someone might claim the YouTube video was edited. Ermey indeed does not appear in it.

In addition, since you've ignored my repeated attempts at polite discussion, and my attempts to point out the relevant policies here, preferring instead to revert without discussion about the relevant policies (which itself is a violation of Wikipedia:Edit warring), I've alerted another administrator to your persistent reversions. Nightscream (talk) 04:47, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JFKenn. User:Nightscream is right. We should only have mention of a guest appearance if there is a reliable written source testifying to that (and another Wikipedia article doesn't count).--Pharos (talk) 21:38, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Medal of Honor (2010 video game), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. You have been warned before, which is why this is a level 4, please stop. Dbrodbeck (talk) 13:05, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Barbara Eden‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

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. Thank you. Fat&Happy (talk) 01:32, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

January 2017

Hello, I'm Mlpearc. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Barbara Eden, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Mlpearc (open channel) 20:37, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Barbara Eden, 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. - Mlpearc (open channel) 20:40, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Barbara Eden shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Barbara Eden. Do not edit war and/or add material w/o reliable source citations. If you are in a content dispute seek consensus on the article's talk page before making any potentially controversial edits. Ad Orientem (talk) 17:50, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
