User talk:Aalaan

February 2014

Hello, I'm McGeddon. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Willis Tower seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 15:05, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Maintaining a neutral point of view isn't about refraining from making things up, it's just about avoiding bias towards the things we like and away from the things we dislike. I felt your edit added too much information about Khan in what's meant to be an article about the building; mentioning the influence of his "tube" design and having a captioned image of his statue as the "Einstein of structural engineering" seems sufficient. By all means raise it for discussion at Talk:Willis Tower if you disagree. --McGeddon (talk) 16:39, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Fazlur Khan, 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.

Multiple accounts?

Your edits seem similar to those of User:Luthador, both of you showing an interest in Fazlur Khan and in trying to blank the same thread on his article's talk page - yesterday Luthador added a large picture of Khan to the Bangladesh article with a praise-laden caption, and you added references to that caption some hours later. Do you control both accounts? You should be aware that operating multiple Wikipedia accounts is forbidden under WP:SOCK. --McGeddon (talk) 20:20, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Your use of multiple Wikipedia accounts

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aalaan, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Reverting other editors

You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Bengali people. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 16:00, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Request reason:

I apologize for what I did and will not do it again. So please unblock my account as I had it since 2006. Since I had this account for sometime I now wish to make real productive contributions. Thank you User:Aalaan (talk) 11:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Decline reason:

It is suggested that you have edited using at least two named accounts and at least three IP addresses. This is why you are blocked and this is the point which any further unblock request must address. A simple apology is welcome but is not sufficient. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 12:42, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

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.
