Covid-19 general sanctions

edit
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

An article you recently created, Baby I'm Yours (Breakbot and Irfane song), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published.

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).

Your recent editing history at Daniel (biblical figure) 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. tgeorgescu (talk) 14:47, 22 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

United States Electoral College edit

edit

Hello. Your recent edit to the United States Electoral College article was not an improvement to the article. The version you changed was more precise in how the senators and representatives are "combined" by addition, and was more accurate in how the number of representatives is dependent on the census report rather than simply "proportional" which it is not. You did not include Edit Summary explaining how your version was an improvement. I have reverted it to the prior version. We can discuss it on my talk page if you want to. DocRuby (talk) 16:07, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

@DocRuby: I mean not that the exact wording of the article really matters to me all that much, but have to ask how is "proportional" supposed to be inaccurate? GOLDIEM J (talk) 19:25, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Look at the List of U.S. states and territories by population / State and territory rankings article section, sorting the table by population per seat. You'll see that the states census populations range from 542,113 (MT) through 989,948 (DE) per House seat, which is not proportional. Instead the apportionment is via a complex method described in the apportionment method article section that moves seats from one state to another when the relative census populations change, which grows disparities among states over time. DocRuby (talk) 20:45, 8 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

November 2024

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kingdom of England. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although 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:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. 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.
