Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Note, that randomly editing wikitext adding random spaces to increase your edit count is considered vandalism MenuRax39272 (talk) 22:56, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Andrew Shaw (ice hockey), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Wracking ^💬 00:44, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Andrew Shaw (ice hockey). Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. — SamX [talk · contribs] 03:40, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nikita Kucherov. 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Several editors have undone or altered your changes. Please do not continue to reinstate them without talking about it first. Thanks.

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 23:11, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

A note about your recent edits

Hello Gymrat16, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I would like to alert you that your edits seem very similar to those of an IP editor who was temporarily blocked (twice) from Wikipedia for being uncommunicative, not following Wikipedia's Manual of Style, and adding unsourced content. This user received more than seven warnings. If you exhibit this same behavior, it is likely that you will be blocked from editing.

Some advice for future edits:

• Please do not add unsourced content, especially to biographies of living people.
• Please do not add the year to a paragraph where the year has already been established. This is unnecessary.
• Please do not link the same topic more than once.
• Please follow MOS:DASH, and use en dashes (–) when necessary.
• It is generally unremarkable that a professional athlete has played their 100th, 200th, 300th, etc. game.

(For reference: Discussion of IP editor at ANI, Block log for IP editor)

If you believe I have made a mistake, please let me know. Thanks. Wracking ^💬 00:22, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

As a friendly note, dates on Wikipedia usually follow a specific format defined in WP:MOSDATE. You should not mention the year in every sentence within in a paragraph. It should just be mentioned once unless it's absolutely needed in specific circumstances. This may also save you time. Thanks! --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  03:36, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Andrew Shaw (ice hockey), you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  17:02, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

I was just adding additional information that was relevant Gymrat16 (talk) 17:08, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

You are more than welcome to improve this site. Please note that your edits are expected to comply with our policies, including WP:Verifiability and WP:Cite as well as our Manual of Style, in particular WP:MOSDATE. Please let us know if you have any questions. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  17:15, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, you may be blocked from editing. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  01:45, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

I didnt do anything Gymrat16 (talk) 02:13, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Gymrat16, you probably need to figure out what it is that people think you are doing wrong (hint: look up "puffery" and "excessive detail", for starters, and then look at Wikipedia:Citing sources, or you are going to end up being blocked, just like your previous IPs were. Drmies (talk) 12:51, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

I know these players better than anyone and I am just adding small stuff to them that aren't necessary for citing.

I doubt that first claim, and the second statement is the incorrect answer. Also, make sure you are properly logged in. Drmies (talk) 01:29, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Drmies (talk) 01:29, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

June 2023

Please stop your disruptive 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 noticeboards.
• 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.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.

You have already been blocked once on this account. Your other IP accounts are also blocked. Please see the notes User:Wracking left you under #A note about your recent edits. Simply adding one random reference followed by other unsourced information does not count not satisfy WP:Verifiability. Adding overly long headers with words like "Rise to Stardorm, Team Struggles" violates WP:NPOV/WP:WEASEL. And lastly, trivial details like "200th game" should not be mentioned. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  13:39, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

I am not doing disruptive editing. I am adding real things with real citations!!!! I am following the rules. Why is my stuff getting erased? I have an account and I am following the rules and I am citing my sentences. Stop erasing my stuff Gymrat16 (talk) 14:51, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

While you have added some citations – you also tend to add unsourced information that is not immediately sourced. For example, this edit. Quick examples:

• Despite Kucherov's inidividual productivity, the Lightning would miss the 2017 playoffs by just 1 point in the standings mainly due to other players on the team missing lengthy periods of time earlier in the season due to injuries. His 40 goals tied the 40 goals by Maple Leafs rookie Auston Matthews for the runner up(s) for the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy which went to Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby who recorded 45 for the league's goal scoring leader”
• He finished the 2017-18 season with 80 games played and 39 goals, 61 assists and 100 points recorded for his first career 100 point season. He also led the Lightning in all 3 categories of goals, assists and points.
• On 6 Februuary 2020, Kucherov played his 500th NHL game in a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

I'm not going to repeat other things I, Wrack, and Drmies have told you several times before. You are a disruptive editor as you have used multiple IP accounts to force your revisions when other editors have undone them. You've been blocked multiple times on each of these IP accounts as well and you know this. You will be treated as a sock puppet and potentially blocked indefinitely if you continue this behavior. --  StarScream1007  ►Talk  15:28, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
