User talk:Burgs2016

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Proud Boys. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. GorillaWarfare (talk) 14:21, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at Talk:Proud Boys. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. GorillaWarfare (talk) 16:19, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't attack. I point out facts. The fact is that the article I'm referring to is written poorly and misuses a secondary source. You should be more upset about that. Also, if I'm block for pointing out purposely misused secondary sources, you'll just prove my point.

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, as you did at Talk:Proud Boys, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Acroterion (talk) 16:35, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Stop treating other editors as opponents to be overcome or denigrated. Bring sources, not accusations. Acroterion (talk) 16:36, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Personal attacks by a SPA at Talk:Proud Boys. Thank you. GorillaWarfare (talk) 17:08, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Burgs2016 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Where was the personal insult? Why is pointing out poor writing and misuse of secondary sources a personal attack. I pointed out ways to fix the problem. This is a serious problem, because it misrepresents the topic. The opposition to me has been nothing but disrespectful and ignorant, and the fact that you even blocked me shows that you support such biased writing. You guys deserve disrespect, but I didn't give any. Point out the person insult. Trust me, I'm using this with my audience. Burgs2016 (talk) 17:39, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

There is no person attack. It's an attempt to silence an opposing voice. If the content is biased, do you really think the editors are going to be neutral? @Acroterion is pointing out poor writing standards and a misuse of a secondary source an attack your book? Quite frankly, you guys are the ones attacking me, not the other way around. If anything, you deserve the disrespect.

Important notice

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.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
