Andrew Cuomo
Your recent edit to the page Andrew Cuomo appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in this encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite the references or sources or before making the changes, and discuss them on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for any tests that you wish to make. Do take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you.
Although you are right that his swearing in ceremony was yesterday evening, 12/31/10, he did not officially take office until 12:01 AM Saturday. Please refrain from making this erroneous edit again. Sinisterminister (talk) 18:25, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- Regardless of this fact, the subject matter that is more important, especially for the introductory paragraph, is the date he took office. The fact that he had a small ceremony a half hour before midnight is entirely inconsequential to what is officially, legally recognized. If you would still like to offer this fact for consideration in this page, I would suggest you place it further down in the body of the article, and provide much more context for the condition of his swearing in, including the broader ceremonial activities that took place — overshadowing this event — on the following day. In order to be an effective editor on Wikipedia, it is important to understand which information is appropriate where, so I have pasted a welcoming template with more information to help orient you. This welcome also includes information on how to properly sign your name on talk pages. Please also reference the Talk page guidelines when responding to me or commenting on any other talk pages.

This is your last warning; the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Andrew Cuomo, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Cuomo took office on January 1st. Primary point of importance. End of discussion. I have warned you several times, and will not continue to put up with your unprofessional, inconsiderate behavior, and will call in an editor to help arbitrate. Sinisterminister (talk) 20:55, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- It would be helpful if you provided a legitimate argument as to why you think December 31 is an important date for consideration in the introductory paragraph. Right now your argument can be summed up simply as "disagree". Sinisterminister (talk) 21:19, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
Paterson's term expired at midnight. New York didn't have 2 Governors in office, not even for a few minutes. GoodDay (talk) 22:21, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- Once more and you will be blocked. Dreadstar ☥ 03:48, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- Excuse me, but once more what? Please don't threaten me. I think the record reflects that I am simply asking for a suitable source for when the Governor of New York took office. I would like to ask that we find a neutral editor arbitrate our dispute because you are no longer being courteous or objective. 75.73.50.195 (talk) 03:52, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Edit warring
Let me point out our policy on edit warring, which states "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 it involves the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Violations of the 3RR rule normally attract blocks of at least 24 hours.". You've already crossed the 3RR boundary on Andrew Cuomo and further reverts may result in blocks. Dreadstar ☥ 22:25, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- I've already addressed this [1][2], no need for you to poke your nose into it. I don't know in what world you think your actions would be appropriate, so claiming to be a 'rookie' is not a good defense - and with the knowledge of WP:V evidenced in this edit, I don't buy that you're a rookie at all. I’d suggest you revise your last edit and just leave the apology, delete the rest. Dreadstar ☥ 16:31, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
- Please let my comments stand. Please do not suggest I revise comments and then revise them yourself. 75.73.50.195 (talk) 03:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Please don't repeat what you did at the Governor of New York article. We've already explained to you, that assumption of office is what counts, not the EXACT time of the administration of the oath of office. GoodDay (talk) 02:45, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- Don't worry. I won't. I stand corrected. Thanks for the civility. 75.73.50.195 (talk) 03:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 16:11, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked for continuing to edit war after being warned. [3] Dreadstar ☥ 03:53, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- I did not violate the 3-EP rule. I simply asked for a source. Can you please tell me how this is edit warring?

Request reason:
This was not edit warring. I did not violate the 3-EP rule. I was simply asking for a source because the previous citation was simply removed and replaced with nothing. That Andrew Cuomo became the governor of New York on Jan 1 is perhaps "common knowledge" but it should have a source to it. Honestly, the New York Constitution says nothing about this and from what I've read, none of the news accounts actually say where they got their information that the governor assumes office at 12:00 AM. In my opinion the New York Times article is original research and predicting the future, and I do not believe that a fiat by Dreadstar constitutes legitimate user discussion of this contention. In fact, after his single comment saying the source does not violate CRYSTAL, he closed the discussion himself five minutes later. I think there is grounds for legitimate disagreement here, and if I see a source that tells me otherwise that cites something verifiable (e.g. a statute, because I'm telling you its not in the Constitution) then I will be satisfied. But the fact needs a source. I pointed that out. And got blocked for it.
Decline reason:
You lost me at "This was not edit warring." WP:3RR is not an entitlement, it is merely one specific bright-line application of the edit warring policy. The rest of your request is not relevant to whether you edit-warred or not and was not considered. In the future pursue dispute resolution or request page protection instead of edit warring.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
I would also add that the real world is not Wikipedia. Our content policies cannot and do not apply to material published in reliable sources. Daniel Case (talk) 04:12, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- Sure, but surely we can find a source that wasn't written the day before the event in question happened.
