December 2015

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Jamie McMurray has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made was constructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this message from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
For help, take a look at the introduction.
The following is the log entry regarding this message: Jamie McMurray was changed by Shy-Boy (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.909583 on 2015-12-19T19:02:38+00:00 .

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 19:02, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Jamie McMurray. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --Bamyers99 (talk) 16:05, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Jamie McMurray 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. bonadea contributions talk 16:16, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Jamie McMurray. bonadea contributions talk 16:26, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly suggest that you do not revert the Jamie McMurray article again. If there's a problem, please explain on the talk page what it is—especially since you're removing about 80,000 bytes of data with your revert. —C.Fred (talk) 17:03, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring, as you did at Jamie McMurray. 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. —C.Fred (talk) 17:06, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Jamie McMurray, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Since you have already been blocked once for this behavior, I will warn you that any further repeat of this behavior will likely result in a permanent block. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:45, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since you seem quite insistent on removing large swaths of material from the Jamie McMurray article, would you care to explain why you are so insistent? What about the material do you find incorrect or offensive? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because i wanted to add Sponsors to Jamie Mcmurray

That is no reason to remove of 80,000 characters of text from the article. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:53, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The list of sponsors is not encylopedic information - it is WP:TRIVIA. And consider this a clear and final warning: if when your block expires you resume either mass deletion of content OR the "last names aren't capitalised" nonsense you will receive a much longer or indefinite block. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:48, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note I have blocked you to prevent further damage to the article, inadvertent or not. Please do not edit articles until you are sure you won't remove large portions of content. You should also be aware of our verifiability policy which requires you to provide sources for your additions. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 20:52, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And any repeat of this will result in a longer block. Please realize that other editors are just trying to make sure the article isn't damaged. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 20:55, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I was not removing content i was Trying to back up a user i understand that I am blocked for blanking but i was actually helping a user So answer my questions 1. am I Blocked in Error 2 Did you make a Mistake Shy-Boy (talk) 17:53, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I'm sorry, but I really can't understand any of that or how it might relate to the edits that got you blocked. Meaning no offence, would it be fair to suggest that English is not your first language? To help develop an academic project in English like an encyclopedia does require some significant competence in the language - is there another language you are more fluent in and whose Wikipedia might be more suited to you? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:12, 23 December 2015 (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.

(edit conflict)Boing! got in ahead of me here on the unblock request, so I'll repeat my commentary here: It does not matter what you claim you were "trying" to do - you were blanking massive sections of the article, and then edit-warring to keep them blanked. (Also your first several (at least) blankings do not include the crufty sponsors list you claim you were attempting to "help" someone with.) The only possible explanations are that the blanking was deliberate or you do not understand how to edit without blanking content, and the fact you outright say "let's continue the edit-war" indicates you were fully aware you were edit-warring. In addition there are your entirely nonsensical claims that there can only be one capital letter in a name to consider. All in all this is a perfectly cromulent block and you are reminded that if you resume this behavior upon the expiry of the block your next block may be much longer or even indefinite. (Also with regard to your point #2, WP:NOTTHEM). However, as Boing! says, if you would be more comfortable editing on another language's Wikipedia, that can be a way to build your skills and become comfortable with how the project works, while establishing a reputation as a reliable editor for when you are comfortable returning to here. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 18:19, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Extended block

I have extended your block for a further week for your unacceptable attacks on User:NeilN, and I have revoked your ability to edit this page for its duration. If you continue with this kind of behaviour once your block expires, you will be blocked again for a considerably longer period, probably indefinitely.

Orphaned non-free image File:Microsoft Windows xp.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Microsoft Windows xp.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:51, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

January 2016

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at 2016 Daytona 500, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You've been blocked before for disruptive editing. If you do so again, you're at risk of a permanent editing ban. Nascar king 18:21, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to NASCAR, Fox is televising the Daytona 500 this year.[1] If you're going to change the article, you need to provide compelling sources to show that NBC has the TV rights. —C.Fred (talk) 18:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. 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 ~~~~}}.

How do you explain this edit to 2016 Daytona 500 then? —C.Fred (talk) 21:48, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My edit to 2016 Daytona 500

Was my edit to 2016 Daytona 600 the reason why I was Blocked today

That is an example of an edit that appears disruptive. Again, the question is, how can you justify that edit as constructive? —C.Fred (talk) 23:58, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because NBC is broadcasting the Daytona 500

Someone confirmed to me that NBC is broadcasting the Daytona 500 not FOX then I went on to say NBC is broadcasting the Daytona 500

Do you have a source for that? This isn't like the old deal, where Fox gets odd-year and NBC gets even-year 500s. Zappa 24 Mati 23:41, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The source to NBC is broadcasting the Daytona 500 is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:68.8.163.7

You can find the source here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:68.8.163.7

As Nascarking (talk · contribs) pointed out, this source disproves that. Zappa 24 Mati 00:35, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as NASCAR.com doesn't convince you that Fox is carrying NASCAR's biggest race, here's MRN.com saying it [2], Jayski.com saying it [3] and even NBC saying that the Daytona 500 is on Fox [4].--Nascar king 01:02, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did not vandalize after final warning

I did not vandalise after final warning Now please Unblock me Refactored for clarity.WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:08, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, WikiDan61, for fixing the message flow.

@Shy-Boy: We're trying to evaluate whether you can/will contribute constructively to the encyclopedia if you are unblocked. It does not help your cause when you put your messages in the middle of other people's messages on your talk page. It breaks the flow, making it hard to see who said what. It will help your cause if you can make sure to follow the WP:Talk page guidelines. If you can follow those rules, it helps build the case that you can and will follow other rules on here. —C.Fred (talk) 15:06, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And let's review. You got a final warning back on 22 December and were subsequently blocked for a week. Then you got another final warning on 10 January and vandalized the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship page on 20 January. That sure looks like you vandalized after final warning. —C.Fred (talk) 15:12, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But I promise to be a Good editor

I promise to be a Good editor So please unblock me

Promises aren't going to get you very far, especially considering your past. The least that very can be done is a offer:

Wait six months, without sockpuppetry or block evasion.
Promise to avoid the behavior that led to the block/ban.
Don't create any extraordinary reasons to object to a return. Zappa 24 Mati 22:49, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
