Pacific-12 Conference football award navboxes

UW Dawgs, happy new year. I've nominated three navboxes that you recently created for deletion. Please see the discussion here: Wikipedia:Templates for discussion#January 3. Thanks and all the best, Jweiss11 (talk) 16:49, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jabari Issa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CFL (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

January 2013

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sonicsgate. 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.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  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; 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. SudoGhost 18:50, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

12th man (football)

Appreciate the advice but there was nothing in my edits at 12th man (football) that constitute "vandalism". In fact, I provided explanation and justification for each change I made and those were based on the actual content of the recently provided reference sources. There were claims made based allegedly on those sources when in fact, the source information actually refuted the claims being made. As such, it is reasonable to edit the article to match the information within these sources. Thank you.Macae (talk) 06:19, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In reference to your edit at Indianapolis Colts Ring of Honor, my edits were in reference to comments[1] made by Shane Hinckley, Director Collegiate Licensing Texas A&M System, regarding current legal proceedings with the Indianapolis Colts.

Your continued support of Randolph Duke, a Texas fan who is a well-known internet troll that has made a personal crusade to bash and destroy everything and anything "Aggie" is troubling, as is your repeated use of "cited material" that is nothing more than the user citing himself. This is the equivalent of allowing Osama Bin Laden to edit pages related to Israel, Judaism, the United States, or anything that doesn't subscribe to Wahabbi Islam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.132.44.241 (talk) 00:03, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note, the related 12th man (football) article is now in protected mode due to the level of edit warring by anon IPs, sock puppets (WP:PUPPET), and such. FYI. You're welcome to create an account and/or join the discussion. UW Dawgs (talk) 03:01, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]


just wanted to add that I noticed Randolph Duke is editing Texas A&M 12th Man related pages. I don't normally question the motivations of Wiki edits but in this case the guy is a blatant internet troll who went to the University of Texas (A&M's major rival FYI) who goes around to various message boards/articles/and comment sections, all under the same name, with the specific intent to bash A&M.

You can find examples of him doing these things with these links

http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-military-schools.php/3 in the comments section

http://www.shaggybevo.com/board/showthread.php/141664-aggy-spreads-their-cheeks-on-the-national-stage/page9 a Texas message board

http://www.latechbbb.com/forum/showthread.php?109523-The-Top-Ten-Things-You-Didn-t-Know-About-Texas-A-amp-M/page2 posted on a La Tech message board just before A&M played them in 2012

http://www.goodbullhunting.com/2014/1/27/5348976/12th-man-history-texas-am-aggies-e-king-gill-seattle-seahawks# again you can find him in the comments section

I just can't see letting him edit A&M related pages when he so clearly has a seemingly obsessive bias. Kentatm (talk) 19:32, 2 February 2014 (UTC)kentatm[reply]

Usernames aren't proof of identity or intent. Wikipedia has robust policies on WP:Conflict of interest issues. As of 7 January 2014 (25 days ago), welcome to Wikipedia! UW Dawgs (talk) 19:49, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A username by itself is not proof of identity. However, in this case, there's a known pattern and consistencies across multiple platforms. His edits have absolutely nothing to do with ensuring accuracy; rather the need to "Bring Aggy down". THIS is the actual person http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_13651540

Pacific-12 Player of the Year

Just being bold. I'll inform you if I decide to open a discussion.--Yankees10 07:23, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pacific-12 Conference, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages David Shaw and Mark Helfrich (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
