June 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Adderall, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. SÆdon ^talk 21:02, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Adderall. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try and find a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. 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. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. SÆdon ^talk 21:20, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Talk

I have started a discussion regarding your edits at Talk:Adderall#Recent_revert. Please join in but stop changing the article in the meantime. WP works on a WP:CONSENSUS model and WP:DISCUSSION is a necessary action when edits are challenged. Thanks. SÆdon ^talk 21:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Adderall. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SÆdon ^talk 21:29, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning; the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Adderall with this edit, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:22, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for File:Yorkcity-skyline.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Yorkcity-skyline.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:05, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

January 2013

Your addition to File:Yorkcity-skyline.jpg has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:15, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May 2015

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/Skullballoons. Thank you.

Edit warring - Spinning gifs

There is no consensus for spinning gifs. Please see the Talk page of Gabapentin and the link there. Please discuss before edit warring further.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gabapentin. 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:

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; 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. Jytdog (talk) 13:10, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

June 2015

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week 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 first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{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. —Darkwind (talk) 21:35, 8 June 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).

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

Request reason:

I appologize this won't happen again. I don't mean to cause any problems. Please give me another chance.

Decline reason:

Your block was one week long and expired in June. If you're still unable to edit pages, we need the exact block message you're seeing so that we could figure out what's going on. Max Semenik (talk) 04:19, 28 September 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.
