That strange rogue edit [1]

Thanks for noticing that. It was done by "Jobshack", which looks like someone created an account entirely for the purpose of trolling on Talk:Parler . IHateAccounts (talk) 03:09, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I was reading the discussion and thought "Hmm this statement appears to be very self contradictory, and not in character" and went to history to find your edit and saw that it didn't include that part. I wasn't sure how to sign the addition for someone else, or whether that was the appropriate move for something like that, so I felt that removal was the best choice. Someone recently edited one of my comments on a different discussion page (Was quickly caught and fixed by GorillaWarfare, for which I am very thankful) so I have been on the lookout for it happening elsewhere.

Racism on Wikipedia

Since I started writing about the death of black people at the hands of the police on Wikipedia it is clear that has made some people uncomfortable, and I have had dozens of personal threats on my talk page. This is serious business, and users hiding information about the police with "blue" in their username... well let's just say that is a huge red flag. I will give you the benefit of the doubt but please... do not remove that critical piece of information again without first discussing it on the talk page. Colinmcdermott (talk) 15:30, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I owe you an explanation, but perhaps if it will ease your mind, non repro blue refers to non reproducing blue, the ink or pencil color you use in design so that the original sketch marks don't show when you make copies. It is a reference the unseen work that we, as editors, do to keep this encyclopedia running. I do not appreciate your strident refusal to assume good faith and the unacceptable personal attacks you have now repeatedly levied against me. I ask you to strike your aspersions and desist from further attacks or I will take this to the proper forum, as your behavior is absolutely unacceptable. I will say, for a third time, and as recognized by another editor, I did not "remove" any information. I rewrote a section that used unencyclopedic language and did not accurately represent the sources. That section is still there, and now accurately represents the sources. Your failure to recognize that is not my fault. NonReproBlue (talk) 16:17, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/not sure, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

December 2020

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Shooting of Breonna Taylor. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

prior accounts

Have you used any other accounts on Wikipedia? nableezy - 22:10, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am guessing you are here because of Nishidani (as they seemingly accused me of this yesterday)? Honestly I am losing patience at being accused, without evidence, of misconduct. If you have an issue with an edit I made, we can discuss it. If you, or they, think I am a sockpuppet (I am not), feel free to re-open the investigation started by Colinmcdermott here, and bring whatever evidence you think you have. I would welcome the vindication. Otherwise, I would request that you, and any friends you may have, please leave me alone. I attempted to follow all policies to the best of my abilities, I would ask that you, and others, do the same, including WP:NPA.NonReproBlue (talk) 23:22, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, Im here because of myself. I also have not attacked you once, making the NPA link especially odd. But sure, will leave you alone until an SPI is filed. nableezy - 18:07, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Fringe Theories Noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic Mark Hyman (doctor). Thank you. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 03:35, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war

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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.Slatersteven (talk) 12:05, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Slatersteven, if you look a little deeper you should see that I have in fact been trying to make changes to reach a point of compromise, and still keep getting reverted, but perhaps that is still edit warring? I will do my best to desist. But I have to ask, why am I the only one receiving this message, and not also the person who is reverting my edits on multiple pages? I would also point out (on a separate note) that you and I seem to interpret what is being said differently. The AP piece discusses how the language evolved over the day, including both those words, but does not say that those were the two primary words the media were "settling" on. That comes from the opinion piece, which is the one that states (and opinionatedly critiques) that media have "settled" on those two words. Contrarily, if the AP piece can be read to support this statement, it renders the opinion piece unnecessary. Why insist on keeping subpar sources when they are either unnecessary or incorrectly attributed? NonReproBlue (talk) 12:17, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Compromise is reached in the talk page, and "compromise" is not a justification for edit warring.Slatersteven (talk) 12:24, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Understandable, and I will take that into account in future. I was mistakenly under the impression that "making a bold edit as a compromise or middle ground" was an encouraged behavior. It would appear that I was wrong, and if so I apologize. But that wasn't the question I asked. Why was I singled out, when the other editor is also repeatedly reverting me and I am the one who dropped the stick elsewhere? NonReproBlue (talk) 12:32, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He reverted 3 times, you breached wp:3rr by reverting (yes removing content added by another user is a revert) 5 times (or 4 if I am being super generous). You breached a policy, he did not.Slatersteven (talk) 12:37, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, it is clear that I did not fully understand the policy. I will have to more intimately acquaint myself with its specifics. NonReproBlue (talk) 12:42, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
