Orcs and welcome

I see you're new here ....

I removed most of your new material in Orc (Middle-earth) because of the rule against "original research". However reasonable an inference may be, if the author did not say it explicitly, Wikipedia is not the place for conjectures of what various indirect clues might imply.

If, after looking at the rule, you reckon that it does not apply to your material, don't just restore it (that way lies edit war): bring it up on the article's discussion page. We have a jocular name for this process: the bold/revert/discuss cycle.

I hope this does not discourage you from further participation in the wonder that is Wikipedia. —Tamfang (talk) 21:50, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

October 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Uruk-hai, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Just because an article contains O/R is no excuse for introducing more Carl Sixsmith (talk) 16:33, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on Uruk-hai. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.

Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
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 the changes; 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 without further notice. Carl Sixsmith (talk) 16:35, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Discuss on the talk page

If you feel the information belongs on the article, you need to please discuss the material on the article's talk page. Simply hitting "Undo" when multiple editors are telling you the material does not belong is not going to keep the information there, it's just going to end up with you blocked from editing. Please discuss, instead of reverting. Thank you. - SudoGhost 16:37, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

To elaborate: In your edit summary [1] you write, "If my quoted additions are OR you might as well delete the whole article." The problem is not the references (though for my taste you have copied far too much of the original text rather than paraphrasing it more succinctly), but rather that you are using them to synthesize your own interpretation of what it means. No one is denying that Tolkien talks about interbreeding men and orcs, but there is no indication in Tolkien's own writing that the Uruk-hai resulted (directly) from such breeding in the Third Age. You are trying to build a case that they did, but that is exactly what WP:OR is talking about. Cheers, -- Elphion (talk) 17:35, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

No indication? Then why did Tolkien have the dead Uruk-hai using human gear in The Two towers? and why did Treebeard wonder about them being a result of crossing men and orcs? Then in his later posthumous notes, we see in Morgoth's ring, Myths transformed, that two kinds of hybrid were indeed formed, Men-Orcs and Orc-men. This seems far more than "No indication". It is a heavy implication that this is confirming the "hints" in The Two Towers that both Uruk-hai and Half-Orcs are crossbreeds. What ever else would he be talking about in this passage? It would not stand to reason that he meant anything else. I think heavy implications like this should count as more than simple "Orignal research" and pass into the world of fact, to all but the most unable of readers. I only stated that there were "hints" that the Uruk-hai were crossbreeds, not absolute certainty on the issue, so you are straw-man arguing with what I wrote. You just delete things because it gives you a thrill, admit it.

Disruptive Edititing.

Please discuss your edits rather than just trying to force them through. The Uruk-hai at the Battle of the Hornburg were unique in their lack of fear of the sun, there is zero, absolutely zero evidence that this trait was shared by the original uruks from Mordor.

Your recent editing history at Uruk-hai‎‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that 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 involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. GimliDotNet ^{(Speak to me,Stuff I've done)} 07:58, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

This is your only warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Uruk-hai. Eyesnore Summer! (PC) 07:59, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

November 2018

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Alt-right. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, 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 Wikipedia. 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. ——SerialNumber54129 14:43, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

If you continue to edit war

you'll be reported. Use the talk page and if you don't get consensus drop it or go for dispute resolution. Doug Weller talk 07:53, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert for articles and content relating to post-1932 American politics and articles

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 recently shown interest in post-1932 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 any 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.

Template:Z33 Doug Weller talk 12:30, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Just noting that as you have been told by another editor on my talk page, telling you that the alert does not imply that there are any issues to your contributions to date" does not constitute a threat to sanction you. You seem unaware of some of our policies and guidelines but you've taken my advice and stopped editwarring, which is good. Just carry on following our policies and guidelines and you've nothing to worry aout. Doug Weller talk 12:53, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

October 2018

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User talk:Doug Weller that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 13:10, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

November 2018

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 60 hours for making personal attacks towards other editors. 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 below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Acroterion (talk) 13:11, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

I'll note that discretionary sanctions covers behaviour, not just article edits. Doug Weller talk 13:51, 4 November 2018 (UTC) Nice
