User talk:Sophie.grothendieck

Hi! My name is PortugueseManofWar. I noticed you had a previous conflict with user Kristina451 and wanted to bring to your attention that there is an incident about him/her on the administrator's noticeboard that involves you. I wanted to let you know that he/she is accusing you of sockpuppeting with my account. Thanks for your editing efforts! PortugueseManofPeace (talk) 00:43, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean Peace (not War)? ;) Thanks for contacting me. It helped me make an emergency response. Sorry I couldn't get out to you earlier as professional circumstances prevent me from commenting very much on this matter. I don't know why I got implicated but it's resolved on my side [1]. The guy started a SPI [2], which fortunately should clear our names. Best, Sophie. Sophie.grothendieck (talk) 19:54, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 06:39, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest and legal threats

Please see the following policies conflict of interest and no legal threats. If you have concerns about another editors username or possible conflict of interest politely bring this to their attention on their talk page if your concerns are not adequately addressed you may post notifications at WP:Requests for comment/User names and/or the WP:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. Of note it is likely that the conflict of interest policy is applicable to you. Please take appropriate steps. Thanks for your interest and contributions to WP. - - MrBill3 (talk) 06:55, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks MrBill3. I have clarified my position on the talk page that I have no conflict of interest and have also brought up the matter of violation of Wikipedia policies (harassment, personal attack and impersonation) as appropriate. Thank you so much for moderating this and showing me the appropriate channels. I apologize that I appear to have come across as making a legal threat - I was only pointing out the matter of impersonation from the said user as an observation, not as a threat.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kristina451 (talk • contribs) 16:51, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Warring on IEX

Your recent editing history at IEX shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. 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.

The above is a boilerplate message I've placed to make sure you're aware of the three revert rule. The big red image is a bit aggressive, but the message contains the relevant info. Stickee (talk) 06:07, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
