July 2015

Hello, I'm EricEnfermero. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Jordyn Wieber, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! EricEnfermero (Talk) 04:55, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Lucia Cole 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 get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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. 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.

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 "Click here to 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.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Lucia Cole. Your edits continue to constitute vandalism and have been automatically reverted.

If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place {{Help me}} on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Lucia Cole was changed by Penguin888 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.854003 on 2015-07-14T05:15:15+00:00 .

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 05:15, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ceradon (talk • contribs) 05:23, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Penguin888 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Lucia Cole has been proven to be a fake persona, and the person changing the article back has only been on Wikipedia to create articles about her, which causes me to think she has some relation to the "Lucia Cole" persona

Accept reason:

Unblocked by the original blocker. Max Semenik (talk) 06:53, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocked

When I first saw the history of the page Lucia Cole, I thought it was clear that this user was a vandal, and blocked on sight. However, the more I diged into this matter, the more hazy it became. I've come to the conclusion that your claims are true: Lucia Cole does appear to be a hoax. Penguin888, you handled this matter incorrectly. If you believed it was a hoax, you should have sought out an administrator, or a proper noticeboard like here, and explained your case, not edit war, and turn the article into a battlefield. Please do not do this in the future. My block was to prevent you from continuing what I thought was disruption. I now understand that this was not disruption, and I apologize for the block. I have unblocked you. And I thank you for helping us clean this up.

I now believe that Lucia Cole, and several associated articles, are hoaxes for a variety of reasons. Republic Records' website lists all artist currently signed. There is no mention of Lucia Cole. Further, artists that are signed by major record labels almost always recieve coverage significant enough for a Wikipedia article. This is not the case, it seems. The Dreams Fulfilled article claims that it was produced by Babyface. Sources do not support this. Additionally, all of the references at Lucia Cole seem to be of questionable notability and verifiability. I would like to get more eyes on this, per WP:HOAX#Dealing with hoaxes, but as for this block, I no longer think it is justified. Best, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 06:31, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Aaaand nuked, all the traces. Penguin888, thank you so much for helping us uncover this, and sorry we blocked you first, asked questions later. Max Semenik (talk) 06:55, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

RuPaul's Drag Race (season 8)

Please immediately stop warring at that article. You have both violated WP:3RR and risk an immediate block. Use the talk page and do not modify the article until you have agreement there. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:56, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Penguin888 reported by User:Amortias (Result: ). Thank you. Amortias (T)(C) 22:13, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule. 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 first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

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.

I have blocked you for 24 hours because of this. Please read the big red box: WP:3RR. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:19, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Some informal help

Hi Penguin888 - thank you for taking the time to report this issue and for listening to the advice I gave you there. If you're up for it I'd like to go through a couple of things with you. Do you use Twinkle? -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 09:02, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

September 2019

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Truth Hurts (song), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Not official until Billboard announces it.

May 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on RuPaul's Drag Race (season 12); 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:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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. Nihlus 20:18, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
