Scabeba posting
Please do not edit my edits on the buddy rich page...I am his daughter and know a lot more about him than you. Leave it alone!!!

Thanks for your note
I appreciate your kindness and wish you well on your retirement. I highly recommend it! I retired last October and have resisted making "plans" because I just want to let this next chapter open on its own. My husband and son are both physicists working on the ATLAS experiment at CERN that announced the Higgs Boson last July. Like you, they both have sought opportunities to explain scientific subjects to the general public, but it's a steep climb.

An invitation to look at a couple links, suggesting
that with a little looking, even close to you (@Doc James), you'd see we are on the same side of the secondary referencing principle. See here, in your Talk, for our shared conviction on secondary sources… [1]. And here for guidance given new editors on the same, [2] and [3] and affirmation for how I do it (see also Barnstar above it); And then for the articles I am working on, see [4] (this section only, vis-a-vis referencing), and [5] (note no refs. in lede, because all material mirrored and ref'd in main body), and for an article in process (6 of 13 secondary, remaining primaries take from secondaries, and no bare URLs, etc., [6]. And see here for an invited analysis of referencing at an article: [7], at request of another editor, followed by 30 day wait since not my area of expertise, then by posting of tags. I could go on forever. This is not something we disagree about. I am sad we had to have this falling out over this apparent issue. Le PRof Leprof 7272 (talk) 03:42, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Apology
You stepped into a mine field. I blew up. I'm sorry. This was an extraordinarily difficult interaction and the person involved exhibited some of the worst behavior I have encountered as an editor. We spent thousands of words debating a single sentence in which Bob was clearly defying consensus by every means in his disposal without any regard for the rules whatsoever. I'm not capable of discussing this issue rationally, so it will be a lot easier for me if we don't rehash that episode. If you can accept that I'll appreciate it. Formerly 98 (talk)

Paracetamol and asthma
Hi Le Prof, I agree with your assessment that the important thing regarding the paracetamol article is getting the content accurate [8]. Considering request to stay off the editor in question’s talk page [9], I’ll discuss content related concerns here. [Content already appearing here, [10].], deleted. Le Prof.] On the behavioral issues raised, I disagree with many of the statements made regarding me personally, but one good thing about WP is everything is documented. Here are all the relevant discussions, if you are at all interested in any of that: [11], [12], [13]. To tell you the truth, the edits on the paracetamol article were actually my first edits ever on WP, and I was surprised by what I encountered from the editor in question and a few others. His statement that I was blocked is accurate. I was reverted then later blocked by an involved admin and stated reason was “copyright violation”, but then I was still reverted when significantly reworded to remove any hint of copyright violation, so this was confusing for a new editor. I was disappointed by the editor in question’s lack of response to your statement regarding refraining from threatening discipline action/sanctions during important debates. I was driven away from that debate and the article by his threat, and I was almost driven away from WP entirely by earlier fiasco. I’m still interested in improving the paracetamol article, but honestly, I’m concerned regarding associated threats and concerned that attempts to improve article would result in a non-productive time sink, and unfortunately my time on WP is limited. Thanks again for addressing this concern with the editor who made the threat. Regards.--BoboMeowCat (talk) 01:23, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Alcohol and health
Hello, Leprof! I'm trying to remember: were you one of the people who dealt with the alcohol related articles created by David Hedlund? I can't remember who all contributed to fixing the "Alcohol (drug)" and similar articles, and I can't go back and look because the page has been deleted so its talk page is gone. But if you are interested in dealing with those poorly-written anti-alcohol articles of his, I just discovered another one: Alcohol and health. It was called to my attention by a new addition someone added (which is also problematic). But then I noticed the section "Pregnancy and alcohol" which is horrible: it cites a single study instead of a review article, and mis-states the results of the one study it cites. Then I looked at the general tenor of the article, noticed its strong anti-alcohol bias and partial incoherence, and smelled David Hedlund. Sure enough, turns out he contributed most of the content. If this area interests you, I'd appreciate it if you would take a look and maybe discuss on the article's talk page. My question: Can the article be fixed, or would it be better to simply merge any salvageable content to some other article? Also, who else should I contact about this? Thanks for any thoughts. --MelanieN (talk) 15:08, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Bruce Rauner
I want to apolgize for the edit tonight. I have not been on here editing for a few months and its 1 in the morning so half awake, but i did it because i was worried and from my view that it was becoming bias and vandlism, (again maybe because im half awake) I revert it to that version so that it would be a clean start if u can understand. Anyway, it was all in good faith and in no way did i meen for all this to happened. I sincarally apolgize for all the trouble that was cause tonight. and i ask for forgiveness.

Western culture
Thank you for your edit at Western culture. Generally, it's best to follow WP:NOCITE when dealing with unsourced material that you believe is doubtful, especially in an article that is largely unsourced. Actually, I'm surprised that the information was controversial at all, but I guess everyone has an opinion. I put a {{cn}} tag on the claim about equality of women as happening during the Medieval period -- I'm pretty sure that's not true; that movement didn't really get going until the 19th century. Anyway, good luck with your sourcing project on the article. Sparkie82 (t•c) 18:39, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Le Prof, please see my reply to your message in my Talk:George_M._Church talk page. I'd greatly appreciate your help in fixing this. George Church (talk) 09:16, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your edits and requests for dates and secondary sources. I've suggested a few on the talk page. George Church (talk) 19:24, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
- George, this is a good venue to place brief notes, to keep it out of the general bulk of commentary at the article talk page. As for edit suggestions, keep appending them there, with citations as simple content bullets (without templates or other html markup)—in the two "existing" or "new" categories. I will then keep facilitating their review and addition. Please, though,have patience: the rush to work in response to your initial effort was intentional, in good faith, and its pace cannot be maintained. Further work will come as life permits. Cheers.

I'm gathering together evidence against against DePiep if he gets taken to ANI as it seems there are some WP:CIR and WP:THERAPY problems here. I'm hopefully someone with a hat there can tell him to start being more mindful of keeping a civil tongue and assuming good faith.

- Thank you for this. I can also be short/curt in dialog. My bottom line is that the discourse be reasonable, aimed at expertise, and largely impersonal. See also the following: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry#I_would_ask_general_attention and Talk:Oxygen#Discharge_tube_prose_edited_strongly. Cheers.
- No worries, if I may though, it's best to try and keep your cool in situations like this and allow the other person to dig their hole if you feel they are refusing to be reasonable. I'm not sure you could bring a claim of ownership against them, but civility wise, DePiep is in deep. I don't know about alchemist, though I'm unfortunately having a lot of trouble understanding everything he's written (and I can understand some pretty bad English).

Explaining
I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 21:32, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Pyrrhotite and non-stoichiometric compound
I've removed the tags from those articles. As stated on the talk pages: the articles are not contradictory. The pyrrhotite article discusses the basics without using the term non-stoichiometric in the crystal structure section. If you want to add to that section, please do - improvement always welcome. But the contradictory tags were not accurate -- so removed. Vsmith (talk) 23:00, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate your support and editing help on PBC Foundation and your kind comments. Did you intend the last post on Talk:PBC Foundation to be there? I have lttle time or enthusiasm at present but will see if I can manage further comments.

- Thanks again for your edits and advice. A battle lost. Once the professional "dogs" get their teeth into you and your less-than-perfect creation, there is no hope for a part-timer like me and a charity for a disease I expect they have never heard of. I will look out in the upcoming months for further evidence of the greater-than-other notability they demanded and may revisit the entry then. Do you have any enthusiasm to suggest a full overhaul of other health charity pages to bring them up to the standard we had created? Jrfw51 (talk) 12:25, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out the editor error in the Template:New International Encyclopedia
I have fixed it. Here is the diff so you can see how it was done.
It may take a time to propagate through usage on some pages, but if you want to hurry up the process for a particular article, make a dummy edit on the page (edit the page make no changes and save it) no change will occur in the edit history but the templates used in the page will be refreshed.

Are you going to be writing the "Methods and practices" section in this article? H Padleckas (talk) 13:57, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- And it would be good idea to write drafts of the other sections that you found lacking. You are an ideal author. Feel free to cut a lot of the material. --Smokefoot (talk) 22:22, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
- @H Padleckas:@Smokefoot: Alas, I am not the best to write fully, and alone on these basic articles. I will always contribute to outlines, and write on bullet points in outlines, in the areas where I have expert knowledge and experience. But the person for this is a secondary school instructor, or a small team of college educators (e.g., one organic, one inorganic, one analytical, etc.). The key point of my earlier edits, was that simplistic, most basic textbook-derived statements, when filtered by the inexperienced, often come out simply wrong (example being focusing on axial chirality with spiro compounds, when Eliel et al. list at least three kinds observed).
- Moreover, I am more and more parting company at articles where tags are not accepted. The policies and guidelines allow them, yet I am routinely reverted and accused of bombing, when placing an article tag, and then noting which are the offending sections with section tags/and or marking sentences needing checking. Now, I am fully aware that this disturbs the appearance of articles. But so what, if the article is badly in need of attention? We here are far too devoted to appearance, and deny the utility—as is used in professional document preparation—of allowing working documents to have placeholders indicating where attention and work are needed. And I have no further time, case by case, to argue this point.
- Bottom line, based on my own research and experience, tags are honest, they are useful to readers (as I have queried), and they streamline followup work of all editors, down the road as time permits. The only down side is they make articles look awful. Well, I am more than willing to engage individual questioned edits, to remove and change as others suggest. But the carte blanche reversion represent a fundamental difference in values, and respect for our readership. (After learning about tags, one class was overwhelmed at the value they add in knowing whether to trust material, and asked me why they do not appear in all cases where there are problems. What was I to say?)
- Bottom line, I will give little more time of my life to fighting devotion to clean looking articles that have major, major problems. Cheers, Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 20:27, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Sicario
Just a neutral note that you might want to join the discussion at Talk:Sicario (2015 film) regarding the original-research tag in one section.--Tenebrae (talk) 04:49, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Intrinsic factor
The tags at intrinsic factor accomplished what they intended to; they called attention of experienced, expert editors to the article, and led to change. [Often, the extent to which at-odds differ, is that some editors seem to believe that once they have visited an article, sufficient expertise has been brought to bear—and that no other experts need look. I see this as simple, personal hubris. In no sane universe is a job done with a single editor's attention (nor should one win the highest prizes of at ones' entry into an endeavour, so much for the sane universe theory).] Moreover, my affixing tags is never the sole task I involve myself in, at an article. I always put in considerable time, on the content of the article, often hours. It is simply my conviction, not universally shared by others, that it is near to criminal to leave problematic articles appearing superficially fine. This is a dishonesty expressed toward our readers, especially the youngest, and those least experienced in differentiating content of quality from that which lacks it. Cheers.

Article versus section and inline tags
There is no prohibition to having both section tags as well as article tags (and inline tags, for that matter). Each serves a different purpose (noting that the following description is not necessarily complete):
- Article tags, to call general attention to the article's need for editor effort, and to warn readers, especially young student readers, that there are issues with the article that they are about to read (as an educator, a purpose I find critically important to the encyclopedia's improvement and proper perception);
- Section tags, to point editors to the principle places in the article needing editor effort, that would allow removal of the article tag. Article tags can remain, if there are a plethora of inline tags, distributed broadly through the article, and not concentrated in one section. In such a case, a section tag is unnecessary. But if such needs are concentrated in one a section, a section's tagging hones other editors in on that section's need for attention (and, avoiding repetition of editorial review, thus saving editor time). Section tags also, if combined with other broad issues with a section, can signal a bold editor to move the section to Talk, and remove it from the main article space (i.e., section tags regarding sourcing—my main contribution—can have an important additive effect in conjunction with other tags, that can lead to outcomes in future editing that are positive for the encyclopedia). As well, a section tag can make clear to a reader linking directly in to a section that the section has quality issues, see prose above under article tags;
- Inline citation tags, to serve two clear purposes, one akin to those mentioned above, and one distinct: as above, to call reader and editor attention to a specific sentence needing attention. In addition, however, inline citation tags, in conjunction with appearing inline citations, can be the result of a careful line by line analysis of the text of a paragraph against appearing sources, and thus differentiate the text into two formal subsets—those sentences with content that has been sourced and verified, and those sentences still needing attention (i.e., that is, sentences not supported by the end-of-parageraph or other citation, and therefore still in violation of WP:VERIFY).
Hence, as I have elsewhere argued at greater length—where I have analogized the discernment just stated to the different types of notes used in multi-author documents in review, in corporate document-control settings—all three tags are, for different reasons, distinctly informative and reasonably non-redundant (depending on how they are applied), and properly applied, make the degree to which attention is needed at an article clear, and further clarify where attention is and is not needed. The proper combined use of tags, therefore, allows both clearest, most direct communication with our readers, as well as prioritization of limited editor time to do further work on the articles in question.
Otherwise, any specific discussion of what I have done, at a specific article, is encouraged, as is follow-on combining of tags—the latter generally being appreciated if I have not done it already. If I have not done it, it is often because the tag content sometimes is critical to reader perception or editor follow-up. Sometimes non-combined tags, though less sightly, constitute the better tool to move an article toward quality. (And as I have repeatedly said, appearance is not my concern; rather, encyclopedic quality, and a properly informed readership, are.) Cheers. Leprof 7272 (talk) 21:26, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Discussion at ANI
The following addition to my Talk page was just found, as it was added, not as a separate section, but as an addendum to an unrelated section, above. It is moved here, in part to keep the whole of this matter in a single place, but also to help explain why the initial communication of the matter was missed by yours truly [signed Leprof 7272 (talk) 20:10, 20 May 2016 (UTC)]:

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:21, 26 April 2016 (UTC) @NinjaRobotPirate:, @Liz:, @KrakatoaKatie: — I cannot find the ANI to which you refer. Could you please re-insert it here? Katie, my edits are never flyby, and always involve hours of work, and are aimed at warning readers about serious problems that remain at articles. They are generally placed only after I have spent long periods reviewing, repairing, and enhancing available sources. If you wish to peremptorily ban, and if it is in your power, I cannot stop you. But I am doing a service here, prompted (not by editors), but by student readers and users of the encyclopedia—one of whom recently said to me, "I have never found anything lacking in a Wikipedia article," so clever and careful we are about hiding the true status of things here. Rsvp here? cheers. Leprof 7272 (talk) 23:56, 11 May 2016 (UTC) Hi, Leprof. Please respond at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Leprof 7272. This is kind of important. An administrator has indicated that she is considering blocking you for disruption. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:46, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
@KrakatoaKatie: please unarchive the ANI thread, I think there are at least seven editors, including myself, who have all experienced the same thing with Leprof 7272. The fact that Leprof waited so long that the thread auto-archived shouldn't stop them being open to appropriate punishment (if deemed necessary). XyZAn (talk) 16:15, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

[I will add others as I have time, feel free to stop back periodically.] Please feel free to pick one, and give specific feedback to indicate what I have done—per specific policies, please—that is prohibited (versus not to another's tastes), and more importantly, to address specifically, how the edits were not consistent in moving the article, and the encyclopedia, in the direction of becoming a more reputable venue for real learning. Reading my earlier posts at Katie's Talk page might also be of interest, as they address the differences between the utility of inline, versus section, versus article tags. Cheers.

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!
Hello, Leprof 7272. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
A note about AFC notes
I saw a few of your AFC draft comments and thought I'd mention something. MOS violations and small editorial issues are never a reason to decline a draft (I'm specifically referring to the opening bits of this post). If the only thing negative about a draft is the formatting (lack of headers, style, etc), then fix it yourself and accept the draft (or just accept it, it's up to you). New editors frequently don't know every formatting trick, so it's acceptable for thing to not be perfect. Declines should be for content reasons (promotion, lack of references, notability, etc). Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and welcome to AFCH. Primefac (talk) 13:12, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
- Also, just as a note, I assume you weren't planning on accepting your own draft. I'm not saying that you would have, or that you should; I tell this to every new AFC reviewer who has personal drafts in the Draft space. Cheers, Primefac (talk) 13:58, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
- There is a discussion relevant to AFC (and this discussion) at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Participants#LeProf. Primefac (talk) 03:54, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Reviewing Concerns
Some concerns have been noted about your reviewing. In particular, you changed the instructions for reviewing. The instructions for reviewing are the result of consensus. Do not change them unilaterally without discussion, even if you think that those changes will help to work off the backlog. Your changes have been reverted, but raise questions as to whether you understand the review process. Also, specific questions have been raised, in particular about tagging. Please address the concerns before doing any more reviewing. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:24, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Discussion taken up at the appropriate reviewing pages. Cheers, and thanks for drawing me there, Robert. All respect. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 22:26, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
Editing while logged out
You really should try to make sure you're always logged in when you're editing. While it's not specifically prohibited (see WP:LOGOUT) it makes it less likely someone will think you're trying to avoid detection with your edits (and also makes it easier to point to specific edits that you have made). Primefac (talk) 21:24, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- Point taken. I always make clear who I am, regardless of being logged in or not. As you say, what I am doing is not prohibited, and since I go out of my way to make clear there is no sock puppetry, I am not in violation of policies or guidelines. That said, within a discussion with other editors, I will try always to remain logged in, so as to not confuse. Otherwise, if we lived in a more perfect world, I would be glad to speak to you at length why IP editing at times is inevitable here, and can be thoroughly sensible in given situations. Cheers.

SwisterTwister talk 04:32, 25 December 2016 (UTC)Discretionary sanctions notification
Hi, because you are editing in a bit of a hot spot:
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Regards, Sandstein 20:49, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Jahn-Teller page
Dear Le Prof, thanks for your message to Ppzjld. I am part of the community of users who remade the JT webpage with her. While we agree that there may be many ways to improve that entry, we feel the page in its current state is much better than the previous version. We are willing to discuss the content and, in time, add extra references. We would however like to point out that citation is much better now than in the version before we added our edits as we have added a large selection of the most important articles, reviews and books on the subject. We think that threatening with going to a previous version is deleterious to everyone. In order to open the discussion, is your criticism of the complete article or is it directed particularly to certain sections, like Jahn-Teller effect#The JT Hamiltonian? If so this can be solved easily without any harsh measure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by P garcia fernandez (talk • contribs) 13:55, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Cristina Vee
Looks like YOU seem you're the one who's "bias" on not having Facebook posts and Tweets allowed on the voice actors pages, including the Cristina Vee page. I mean really, what is wrong with having Facebook posts and Tweets on the pages, don't you realize that every online article in the web and end credits from a video game or a certain TV show (mostly an English dub version of an anime) may not credit or better yet even mention the voice actors and the roles they play in, that why the tweets and Facebook post were placed here!!!!!!--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 16:29, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- AnimeDisneylover95 (and Leprof), it might be worth reading through WP:SELFSOURCE, which gives the very narrow and specific criteria for when FB and Twitter can be used as a reference. In the future, if someone removes a source that you may think is valid (or adds one you think is invalid), take it to the talk page and discuss it, or go to the Reliable Sources noticeboard. Edit warring over something silly like this is just a good way to get blocked. Primefac (talk) 16:52, 19 March 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
- Wait you lost me on what you said on edit warring, who's edit warring?!??!--AnimeDisneylover95 (talk) 16:53, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- AnimeDisneylover95, no one is edit warring (yet). However, I've seen it play out too many times when person A thinks that they are right, and person B thinks that they are right. I simply meant that discussion should happen before things get out of hand, a.k.a. BRD. Primefac (talk) 18:12, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Need a critique
Hi!
I liked your reasoned comments on Talk:Introduction to general relativity and was wondering if you could offer some critique of the rewrite that I did over the weekend to the lede and Introduction of Spacetime.
I started with this undeniably dreadful version and converted the "Explanation" section into something that I hope that a High School student should understand. This is a reasonably well-watched article, and since nobody has reverted any of my edits (except nitpicking details of how to format my references), I presume that I haven't committed any gross errors. :-)
Given the awful starting point, it's hard for me not to have improved the article (or at least, its Introduction) tremendously. But writers in general are poor judges of their own work. What I need is some advice on how to take this from "better than what I started with" to being actually a good Introduction, and in what directions that I should take this work in the future. (I'm well aware, by the way, that I don't yet have enough in the way of references. I'm working on it...)
Thanks!
Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 23:28, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Tagging, a last effort
Hi Leprof
I have spent the last hour preparing an ANI case, to seek a TBAN to stop you from placing tags in articles. I am sharing the case with you here first. If I post this at ANI, I have little doubt that the community will place a topic ban on tagging. They might take that further.
You do some good work here, and I would rather avoid this kind of drama. Would you please simply agree to stop tagging articles?

This is not a happy thing. Le Prof can bring a lot of value and improves articles, but keeps tag-bombing articles like this:
I get it (I do!) that there are parts of WP that are really bad, but tag-bombing this way is not OK. Leprof has been asked to stop doing this many, many times (Leprof selectively removes or overwrites stuff from their talk page, as you can see in its history). The list below is just some of the discussions people have tried to have with Leprof over this. The list starts with recent and goes backward in time -- start from bottom if you want chron order.

- Jytdog, they've been asked this before, in multiple locations, to no effect. I gave up pursuing the matter, but I'm glad you're sticking with it. I say file and let the chips fall where they may. This last diff can be used as their reply to this thread. Primefac (talk) 00:44, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

- Fair enough. I'm just expecting them to either not respond or give you six paragraphs that ultimately boil down to "this is how I do things". Primefac (talk) 00:51, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- Or not edit for a while. This is what happened back in March 2016, and when they came back the ANI was over. (the ANI was closed as LeProf was not around to respond and not causing more trouble, so there was no ongoing disruption to address). Am looking for a reply and engagement so that if I need to bring this to the community everybody knows that LeProf was given ample opportunity to reply already.

SHOUTING, bolding, and attention banners
As with excessive, inappropriate use of attention banners, this edit is also suboptimal. The proper way to handle your concerns is with a normal sentence case explanation on the article's talk page.

Topic banned
Per community consensus at the administrators' noticeboard ([14]), you are banned from tagging articles with cleanup banners. This includes adding, removing, or editing any cleanup banner on any article. Violations of this ban will lead to you being blocked from editing. In addition, the multiple accounts policy forbids editing while logged out to avoid scrutiny, and as it is apparent that you have continued editing while logged out after having been warned to stop, I have blocked the IP 73.210.155.96 that you have been using to edit. If you have questions about these actions you may ask here and/or appeal at the administrators' noticeboard. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 01:41, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
