A Friendly word of caution
[edit]Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! I notice that you have been doing some editing on the article Tyler Henry. Please ensure that your edits conform with WP:NPOV and are not aimed at slanting an article in a way that could compromise its basic neutrality. That means we don't edit articles with a WP:AGENDA. We also don't add poorly sourced material to an article. All material added must be backed by a reliable source. And we don't remove material that is reliably sourced, even if we don't like it. Also if you have any connection with the subject of an article you should refrain from editing it. See WP:COI. Lastly please be sure you are not using multiple accounts when editing. This is called sock puppetry and it is prohibited on Wikipedia. If you have any questions or concerns please reply to me below this message. I have put your talk page on my watch list so I will be alerted to any messages. Thanks for your contributions and again, welcome to Wikipedia! -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:02, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Your recent edits to Tyler Henry could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. LuckyLouie (talk) 23:06, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- I wasn't threatening legal action. I was trying to protect Wiki by citing a source that is currently in trouble. Don't you want to avoid that???— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gizza2 (talk • contribs)
- If you are not actually threatening libel, please don't leave edit summaries calling content "libelous". You don't seem to understand that the encyclopedia's policies allow for criticism cited from WP:RS reliable sources. - LuckyLouie (talk) 23:23, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Tyler Henry, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Copied from Talk:Lucky Louie: Why is it OK to allow a criticism section on Wiki? That info is all opinion and not fact. I don't understand your issue with my edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gizza2 (talk • contribs) 23:14, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- The "opinions" you refer to concerning Tyler Henry are not those of Wikipedia editors, but of notable commentators, and they are quoted in reliable sources cited in the article. We do not need to show that the criticism is well-founded, only that the criticisms were made, and our sources do that quite adequately. Our articles here reflect what reliable sources say about the subject, whether praise or criticism. Stop removing the content or be blocked for edit warring.

Edit warring and 3RR
[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. Laura Jamieson (talk) 09:07, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
Warning
[edit]Your editing of the article Tyler Henry is disruptive. Please do not edit the article again until you have read the pages I linked in my earlier post (see A Friendly Word of Caution above). There are plenty of biographical articles that contain sections dealing with controversy or criticism related to the subject. If you continue to remove well sourced material from the article after being repeatedly told not to, you may be blocked from editing. -Ad Orientem (talk) 13:59, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Tyler Henry. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Why am I getting this message when the person deleting my edits are not???? This isn't being played fairly.
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 Tyler Henry. CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 17:48, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Tyler Henry, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. CAPTAIN RAJU (✉) 17:53, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
I've asked you more than once to bring your concerns regarding Tyler Henry to the talk page. Please do so. This is the correct way of dealing with the issue rather than simply doing the same thing over and over, risking getting blocked. Thank you. --Non-Dropframe talk 17:56, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
