Please do not change the times noted in the article - there are differing times depending on sourcing, and the present times are based on a later and more thorough documentation. I believe there's a discussion of the time issue in the archives of September 11 attacks. Acroterion (talk) 15:46, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Ministry of Magic, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Hudson River edit warring

Here's the deal. You insist on using non-authoritative "sources" such as map sites and blogs. We've reverted you over and over. If you don't want to be considered for banning, I suggest you get on the Talk page and make your case. - Denimadept (talk) 18:11, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I have made my case on the talk page, authoritative sources are a good idea, but it does not mean that they are always right. This topic is very much up to debate as to where it truly begins. I just tend to go by Henderson Lake as the source because there is a dam on the outlet usually meaning a river, and the maps which I told you before. I am not doing this out of sheer spite, I just truly believe this. If you disagree be my guest, just do not threaten to block me because of it all that is just uncalled for. I do not mean any harm Miked1992(talk} 18:46, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

A dam means that people want to impound water there. Even if there's a river, it doesn't mean it's the Hudson. You can believe whatever you like, but authoritative references are required here. And consensus has apparently formed already. - Denimadept (talk) 19:08, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Are you a page administrator? 22:00 14 July 2014 (UTC) Miked1992 {talk}

No, I'm an editor with some experience, nothing more. The thing is, edit warring is seriously discouraged. I'm not issuing threats; what I would do would be to turn this situation over to an admin and have them figure out what to do. I'd prefer we all settled this amicably, though. People have tried pointing you at earlier discussion of this issue. Have you looked at those links?

I'm not of the opinion that you're being difficult, but rather that you may be a bit inexperienced. I'd rather help you understand what's wanted than to get you booted out. We can always use new editors, but there's often an adjustment needed on the part of people coming in. - Denimadept (talk) 22:35, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I am not completely inexperienced, but I still could learn a little more. I am from New Jersey and the Hudson River flows only about an hour from where I live. I have never been too deep in the Adirondack Park so I am not 100 percent sure as to exactly where it begins. I would say since it is not quite lake Tear of the Clouds contrary to popular belief, Either the outlet of Henderson Lake or close to the outlet at the confluence of those two streams. I live next to a lake in Northwest Jersey Lake Hopatcong which is the source and start of a major but largely unspoken river the Musconetcong. I have always enjoyed Cartography and looking at maps as a pastime. I personally would feel that an admin knows best in these situations. Although I have done more editing this year I still just need to learn a little more. Miked1992 {talk}

Repeating here, in case you missed it on the Hudson talk page. I encourage you to read the discussion at [[1]], this is not the first time this has come up because there are conflicting sources for the source of the Hudson. That discussion says why editors went with USGS as the government was deemed the most reliable source. If you disagree with the logic there, tell us why? Google and Mapquest are both drawing their labels from OpenSteetMap, which anyone can edit, making their reliability somewhat questionable. I also note that Google changes how that section of stream is labeled depending on your zoom level and whether you have the satellite view turned on or off. Kmusser (talk) 14:43, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

I have now both points of view both Us Geo Survey and Google Maps as references and I have contrasted them apart. I have stated that the Us. Geo Survey shows one source while Google Maps and Mapquest show another. Miked1992 (talk)

I have modified the situation a bit in a way which I think should satisfy all. - Denimadept (talk) 21:17, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Now that I know that the US GEO survey is a true government source and is not all erratic, I finally believe all of you. I am sorry if it took too much convincing. - Miked1992 (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sylar (Band)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Sylar (Band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Foo Fighters. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. 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, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 23:02, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sylar (band), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Beartooth (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.)

April 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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 that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. 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. Amp71 (talk) 03:47, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Fire from the gods

Hello, Miked1992. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Fire from the gods".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Dolotta (talk) 17:24, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

December 2019

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 September 11 attacks. 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.

--MONGO (talk) 15:51, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Please stick with one account. Re-adding challenged material by using multiple accounts can get the blocked fron editing.--MONGO (talk) 15:59, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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.--MONGO (talk) 18:55, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello Mongo,

Since we both share a mutual agreement to avoid a personal edit war. I was just wondering how I could properly form a new consensus on the WTC Crash and Collapse times. Should I (A. Write a Paragraph), (B. Find and Share New Sources in a Talk Page Forum), as just a couple of ideas. I Hope to hear back from you or Arcoterian on this matter soon thanks. Miked1992 (talk) 14:40, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

what was wrong with the old one? Acroterion (talk) 03:42, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

I personally believe that the general consensus for the WTC 2 crash time in the 2010s as stated by the 9/11 Memorial Webiste, (the most authoratative source) is 9:03 A.M. I will be writing my argument on the talk pages soon, thanks. Miked1992 (talk) 14:24, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Multiple accounts

I can’t help but notice the similarities between your account and Mikeis1996, right down to the name and tendency to edit war over genre. Unless/until you can explain this incredible coincidence, your account is blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 15:16, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

To me it looks like a coincidence in the naming style. The editorial interests are very different, with different styles of communication. The interaction tool shows only a tiny intersection of six articles. If Miked1992 needs to be blocked I would say it's for some other reason than block evasion by Mikeis1996. Binksternet (talk) 18:57, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Binksternet - Thanks for your insight. I hadn’t noticed the lack of article overlap, I had just noticed how many warnings were related to edit warring and reverting on modern rock/metal bands in a general sense, which is what got 1996 most of his blocks. 1996 was also caught socking/evading in the past too. But on the other hand, 1992 is being so openly bad about this, and no one reported him to me for socking like how it often goes with evaders I block, so if people generally disagree with me, I support going the SPI/CU route to check too. Sergecross73 msg me 21:39, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

After talking to a few people who don’t believe you are Mike96, I’ve unblocked you. That said, you do still have a lot of warnings about edit warring on your talk page. If you don’t change your ways, you’re likely to receive a block on your own merits. Sergecross73 msg me 13:15, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Parkway Drive. Binksternet (talk) 17:40, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

April 2020

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours to prevent you from persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:33, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Unreliable sources

Hi Miked1992,

Thank you very much for providing inline references for your contributions. This is a good first step.

However, there has been a new complaint about your addition of poorly sourced content, such as "lead guitar" vs. "guitar" in Special:Diff/948989121. If I see correctly, you have used a self-published personal fan website as the source for such information. Wikipedia requires reliable sources, and fan websites are not reliable sources.

Please be more careful in your choice of sources, and ask at the Teahouse for assistance if you are unsure about the reliability of a source.

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:40, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks ~ ToBeFree (talk), I am not the most experienced Wiki User, I still have much to learn. Hopefully I can find better sources for my editsMiked1992 (talk) 02:48, 4 April 2020 (UTC)Miked1992Miked1992 (talk) 02:48, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome, and thank you very much. Take your time, Miked1992. Ask when anything is unclear – the people at the Teahouse want to help, but they can only help if there are questions. For example, you could ask something like:

Hi, is this a reliable source, and why / why not? I would like to use it for the article [[Soil (American band)]], to replace "Adam Zadel – guitars" by "Adam Zadel – lead guitar". https://example.com/example.html ~~~~

Good luck and best regards,

Avoiding an unintentional edit war

Hi again Miked1992,

First of all, thank you very much!

But then again, I'll need to voice a concern – the situation at Darkest Hour (band) is quickly getting close to an edit war. Unintentionally of course, but dangerously. Whenever you would like to restore something that another user has reverted, please click "Talk" above the article, then "New Section". Propose your changes there instead of making them directly, and wait at least one week to see if someone raises a concern.

Thank you very much and best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:59, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank You, ~ ToBeFree (talk I will leave a new section in the Darkest Hour Talk Page to explain my viewpoint on guitar roles. I am a fan of the band "Convalescense" is probably my favorite song by them.

Ah, perfect. Thanks, Miked1992! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:03, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Alright, Ive managed to voice my opinion on the bands talk page, and I hope for the best --Miked1992 (talk) 03:06, 4 April 2020 (UTC)Miked1992--Miked1992 (talk) 03:06, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Please do not edit about band members and their roles anymore

Hi Miked1992,

in response to your question at User talk:ToBeFree/Archive 11#Editing Bands and avoiding Edit Wars, I'll copy my answer here, as it is sadly important.

Thanks for asking, and for starting these discussions. Sadly, the answers to your other, similar requests, have been negative. The concerns voiced by other users at Talk:Lamb_of_God_(band) and Talk:As_I_Lay_Dying_(band) show clearly, with many references, that your proposed type of editing is being objected to. While there has been no response to Talk:Darkest_Hour_(band)#Guitar_Roles, I believe that the reactions on the other talk pages should be reason enough to stop making similar proposals in the future. Please find different topics to contribute about, instead of making these changes about bands.

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:34, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

I am seconding this advice. Between this and the constant reverting and edit warring, this is becoming disruptive. Please stop with this and move on to more constructive activities. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 20:53, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Sounds good, I will cut back quite a bit on editing band roles. However if I feel I could contribute I will post my views on the talk page first. I am not trying to spitefully get back at other users for a dispute, I do not feel that admins however should exert their power over people who are less advanced in Wikipedia editing by reverting their edits like a bully just because they feel that they are right, thanks. --Miked1992 (talk) 21:21, 23 April 2020 (UTC)Miked1992--Miked1992 (talk) 21:21, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

That doesn’t make someone a bully though. (And if it did, then that would make you equally a bully because you keep doing the same thing in reverting them right back because you think you’re right.) Sergecross73 msg me 21:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

I apoligize, Sergecross73 msg me 21:47, 23 April 2020 (UTC), I will leave those contested band pages alone. If there ever comes a time when I think I could contribute some useful information to a band page that might be controversial to some users, I shall propose it on the talk page first, thanks.Miked1992 (talk) 04:14, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Miked1992Miked1992 (talk) 04:14, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

April 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Lamb of God (band); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. 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 and 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. Binksternet (talk) 03:02, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Melissa Doi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page South Tower (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.)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at The Strokes. It seems you have been asked repeatedly above not to touch band member roles in music related articles, something you agreed to but seemingly ignored. Your edits are unsourced and as such are extremely disruptive. Should this continue, your next stop will be WP:ANI where your editing privileges will most likely be removed Robvanvee 09:15, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Jack Owen was not a rhythm guitarist

Hello, please stop changing Jack Owen's "title" on Cannibal Corpse as rhythm guitar. He did just as many guitar solos as Bob Rusay on those first two albums. He did more solos than pat O'Brien on live cannibalism. so stop labeling it as lead or rhythm and just say guitar. it makes people think differently when you say rhythm guitar for jack. or at least just put both lead and rhythm for jack

I'm not entirely sure if this is my place to respond, but I messaged Miked about this again ten days ago and received no response back. They instead reverted yet another attempt of mine to reinstate that edit without offering an explanation as to why. There is only a second’s difference, but both the NIST and the 9/11 Commission state that the collapse of the South Tower began at 9:58:59, not 9:59, and plenty of articles on the subject of 9/11 give the precise times down to the second. Off the top of my head, I can think of Flight 11, which lists the crash time at 8:46:40; or Flight 77, listing the moment it struck the Pentagon at 9:37:46. In a similar vein, one of Mohamed Atta's accidental transmissions to ATC is listed as occurring at 8:33:59, even though going by this logic of changing "9:58:59" to "9:59," it should be listed as 8:34.

South Tower

NIST and the Commission, who both investigated the World Trade Center disaster thoroughly, clearly state that the collapse of WTC 2 began just before 9:59. I'm not sure why you keep changing it back to the common consensus of 9:59; that's literally just people rounding up to avoid having to type a mouthful of a number like "9:58:59." This was also pointed out to you in these two diffs as well as here. Hmm1994 (talk) 18:55, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Yep. I was wanting to say that, too, but the thread was closed while I was in the midst of typing it. I had my concerns, but I also wanted to say I'm sorry for filing the report in the first place, Miked. You're definitely a good faith editor so I just thought I should apologize.

Hello, so I just read the article you use as a source and there isn't any single direct mention about who is playing which guitar. Furthermore, there isn't even a mention that it occurred on all their releases, so I suggest you to find something more direct or at least specify it more in the article because I could miss it.

The amount of warnings (and a block) over unsourced editing is extremely concerning. You're blocked for 1 month. When it expires, I hope you'll finally take Wikipedia's sourcing standards seriously. Sergecross73 msg me 20:20, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Dear Sergecross73 I am terribly sorry about using unsourced material before making edits, I solemnly promise from now on that I will not use unsourced material again. I hope that you would consider about removing the block on me for one month, speaking of resort articles I will use the official sources. I hope to hear back from you soon and have a great Easter, thanks. Miked1992 Miked1992 (talk) 03:35, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
