You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jdogno5. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content, as you did to List of Digimon Fusion characters, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. MarnetteD | Talk 04:36, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Devil in popular culture, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Betty Logan (talk) 12:43, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Devil in popular culture. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Please refer to Talk:Devil_in_popular_culture#Question for full explanation. Betty Logan (talk) 12:59, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to List of Digimon Fusion characters. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Betty Logan (talk) 13:10, 17 May 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 List of Digimon Fusion characters. BZTMPS ★ · (talk? contribs?) 13:15, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at List of Digimon Fusion characters 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. Betty Logan (talk) 13:15, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You said it needed sources, so I just brought back my revision to add the sources. That isn't bad is it? If people tell me where something needs improving, I will make the improvements.

Michael Demiurgos (talk) 13:47, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your last edit actually removed sources from the article which is not the way to go. MarnetteD | Talk 18:59, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at List of Digimon Fusion characters. MarnetteD | Talk 18:59, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What was wrong with my last edit for List of Digimon Fusion characters? I provided sources. For the record most of what is written there is unsourced but is still there nontheless. Why was what I wrote criticized as it was?

Edit warring at List of Digimon Fusion characters

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours 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 following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, 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.

Per a complaint at WP:AN3 (permanent link). EdJohnston (talk) 04:19, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for returning post-block to make identical edits that led to original block, and thus a continuation of the same edit-war.

Request reason:

Can I ask what did I do this time that was considered wrong? Michael Demiurgos (talk) 12:41 pm, Today (UTC+1)

Decline reason:

You can certainly ask, but since doing so is not an appeal for unblcoking, please don't use the {{unblock}} template to do it. For an answer, see Dangerous Panda's comment below - you were originally blocked for edit-warring, and as soon as the block expired you commenced doing the exact same thing again. Yunshui ^雲 _水 12:21, 19 May 2014 (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.

First, please understand the difference between a WP:BLOCK and a WP:BAN. This block is for the exact reason stated: your first block for edit-warring was a "shot across the bow" - you were expected to stop. However, once that block expired, you went right back and made the same edit, which is the equivalent of continuing the edit-war. Hence, the block. the panda ₯’ 11:53, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Demiurgos (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Sorry but which one do I use to ask? Where was it that I made the same edit out of curiosity? I understand now what was wrong with the edit for the "Space Jam" article. I fixed my edit for "Devil in popular culture". What was wrong with the last revision I created for "List of characters in Digimon Fusion"? I never removed any sources when I made the changes. Michael Demiurgos (talk) 12:32, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I find it very difficult to see this as anything other than trolling. You cannot possibly have been unaware that you were repeating the same change that you repeatedly made in the edit war that led to the previous block. Also, if you have read either the perfectly clear explanation of the reason for the block given in the block notice, or the panda's perfectly clear answer to your previous phony "unblock request", you cannot possibly think that you were blocked for removing sources. If you continue to waste our time by posting such nonsense, you may well find that your talk page access is removed for the duration of the block. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:57, 19 May 2014 (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.

The best template to use when asking a question is {{help-me}} - just place that code on the page before or after your question.

No-one has blocked you because of the content of your edits; it is your behaviour - specifically the changing of an article repeatedly and without discussion, and in the face of various warnings - that has caused you to be blocked. Please at least take the time to read the edit-warring policy; it's been linked to on this page enough times. Yunshui ^雲 _水 12:37, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

{{help-me}} I am not asking to be unblocked at this time. Merely trying to understand why. "without discussion": I have given reasons each time for what it is I have changed.

Michael Demiurgos (talk) 00:00, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

{{help-me}} How was the last revision I created for "Devil in popular culture" a synthesis of published materials?

Michael Demiurgos (talk) 00:02, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

{{help-me}}  "There have been numerous attempts recently (such as [1]) to change content in the article without attributing the alterations to a source. Regardless of whether the changes are accurate or not, WP:Verifiability requires that all new content added to the article must be accompanied by a WP:Reliable source. Promising to "add one later" is not sufficient; a source should be added simultaneously. If you do not have sources currently at hand please wait until you do or draft the alterations in the sandbox in your userspace and add them in once they are available.": I was merely bringing back the revision I was working on to be able to add the sources in, which I did. What more do I need to do?

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

Non-consensual page moves

The names of all articles in the Israel-Palestine section of Wikipedia are sensitive and should not be changed without consensus. I request that you immediately cease moving pages without discussion. The procedure for requesting consensus for a move is detailed at WP:RM#CM. Zero^talk 04:38, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Peasants' Revolt of 1834 (Palestine) is covered by discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBPIA

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.

Your rapid page moves and changes of terminology (Muslims vs Arabs) raise concerns. Please seek consensus for these changes. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 04:54, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please read Help:Redirect regarding the correct way to create redirects. It is not done by moving pages. Zero^talk 05:01, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RM

Hello Michael. Your edit at WP:Requested moves/Current discussions is not the right way to do it. Your change will be erased by the bot presently. Instead you should use the {{requested move}} template at Talk:1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine. The syntax is: {{subst:requested move|Newname|reason=Why}}. This will cause the page to show up in the list at WP:RMCD. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 05:03, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't edit WP:ARBPIA. That page is supervised by the Arbcom clerks and sometimes by admins. Use WT:IPCOLL if you want feedback on a new issue related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. EdJohnston (talk) 05:18, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not a grammatical improvement

Hi, this edit did not make the article's grammar better: "She is tough like her son, as well as has visited and cared for Eric a couple of times in the Maxum Mansion." Did someone teach you that you should always change "and" to "as well as"? That's probably not a great idea unless the resulting change makes grammatical sense. Please proofread your changes before committing them to the page. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:18, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Michael, I just reverted similar edits of yours on the Short Term 12 article. Please stop. 97198 (talk) 04:44, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your disruptive category change

Your replacement of Category:God complexes in fiction to Category:Deity complexes in fiction is extremely disruptive. I've never seen the term "deity complex" used before and would be a neologisms at best. On top of that, there is no consensus to rename/move one category to the other. —Farix (t | c) 14:50, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lionel

Two things: First, stop breaking the paragraph up on Lionel's article. Every time you revert the page you just re-separate the paragraph. Second, the comics do not impact the television show. They have their own section. Thus, them actually calling the parallel universe "Earth 2" (which they do not actually do on the show, off-hand comments are not actual namings) does not make it so on the show. Third, if you paid attention to my edit, you'd see that I changed quite a bit to fix the grammar mistakes that are there and include some of what you were actually adding.

List of Digimon Fusion characters

Why did you revert my edits? The newer list was far more organized as it fit the structure of the character lists as shown on the official site? And it does not have all those unnecessary guest digimon characters. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:43, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stop

Please stop indiscriminately removing commas from articles as you did at List of Deadman Wonderland characters (here) and in many other places. In a number of those incidents, you removed the final comma from a list, which makes the last two items appear to be grouped together when they should, in fact, be separate. You also seem to have a habit of replacing "and" with "as well as", which should be avoided. If you do not stop making these changes, I may bring your edit history to WP:ANI under WP:COMPETENCE concerns. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 23:45, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

"But as also noted in that WP:Sockpuppet investigation, Michael Demiurgos was looking into ways to change his IP address.": I was never looking into ways to change my IP address. I was only trying to understand what to do about a case of if I tried to edit on an IP address that had been blocked from editing but I had no history of being blocked at all for bad behavior online. "Really, look at what he stated to Betty Logan about IP addresses.": What about what I said to Betty Logan about IP addresses? "In February 2014, Jdogno5 insisted on changing the God complex article to Deity complex, and he did. He used the words "god complex for a man and goddess complex for a woman" for the lead. In May 2015, Michael Demiurgos insisted on changing the God complex article to Deity complex, and he did. He used the words "God Complex for male, Goddess Complex for female" for the lead.": Is the problem with the timing of the changes or the choice of words for the lead? "Now let's look at the way that Jdogno5 replies. As seen with this link, Jdogno5 replies by quoting people and responding to them in the same paragraph. As seen by this and this link, Michael Demiurgos replies the same way.": I reply that way so it is clear what I am referring to in my response. Maybe I am not the only one to do so. Is there anything wrong with that? "Jdogno5 is concerned with grammar, and often uses "as well as," seen here, here, here and here. And as seen here and here, so is/so does Michael Demiurgos.": I was taught that the comma is used in the place of "and" as it saves the need to repeatedly say "and" in a list. To say either "and," or ", and" is like saying "and and". There are times when it is necessary to say ", and" but I feel that sometimes it is overused. Maybe I am not the only one who thinks that way. Is that wrong? "More on the grammar aspect, Jdogno5 would state "Punctuation." in his edit summary and change semi-colons to periods or to colons, as seen with this link and this link. Well, as seen with this link and this link, so does Michael Demiurgos.": While I agree that there are times when semi-colons are necessary, there are times I feel that semi-colons are over used. Maybe I am not the only one to think that way. Is that evil? "Jdogno5 would state "What's happening?", as seen here. As seen with this edit, where he states "What's happening now?", so will Michael Demiurgos.": That is a very common response given by someone who is trying to understand what is happening with a situation involving them. That does not indicate that two people are actually one. "Jdogno5 would focus on Wikilinks while calling them hyperlinks, as seen here. And as seen with this, so will Michael Demiurgos.": So I did not know the common term was wikilinks for hyperlinks on Wikimedia. I am sure many other people do not know that.

You try to have an excuse for everything, don't you? So you're stating that all of the behavior indicating that you are Jdogno5 are just coincidences? The probability that all of that can be chalked up to coincidences produces a significantly low number. Tell me, is it also a coincidence that just like Jdogno5 loves to mess with people's signatures, as seen here and here, you also love to mess with people's signatures? Where, you ask?
