Raj Senani

You are right. I moved this obvious autobiography to user:Drsenani. Guy (Help!) 12:16, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They've managed to pollute Wikipedia with their self-published research on many Wikipedia articles, for example the further reading section in Nullor, nullator, norator, and other less conspicuous edits. Bright☀ 04:38, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Warning and advice

Stop picking fights with Beyond My Ken. Given your recent drama with him at ANI, this edit war you started certainly looks like a personal vendetta. If you continue to target BMK, administrators will have no choice but to block you from editing and/or ban you from interacting with him. Consider this a final warning to stop harassing BMK. Wikipedia is much more enjoyable when we respect other editors, seek consensus, and edit in harmony. If the only way to achieve this is for you to completely avoid interacting with him, so be it. My advice to you is avoid interacting with BMK and focus on enjoying editing. Let us put this behind us! Thank you, Malinaccier (talk) 18:17, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am not targeting BMK. It happens that he is disruptive on many articles. I am not targeting him for WP:OWN any more than I am "targeting" Drsenani for WP:COI. When I come across the problems they create, I fix them.

While I am not actively seeking him, it is trivial to come across an article he edits, and frequently such articles have WP:OWN issues, where BMK reverts any edit to his article. Resigning to shaking my head at his entitlement and moving on may be more enjoyable now, but it is detrimental to Wikipedia in the long run, and perpetuates his disruptive behavior.

February 2018

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. Please refrain from creating large amounts of "List of X characters" pages without any secondary sources. Per WP:PRIMARY, "do not base an entire article on primary sources". These belong in a fan wiki and not Wikipedia.Template:Z45 _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 15:43, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Zxcvbnm: This is regarding what? I haven't edited anything today. And I haven't created any articles without sources. Bright☀ 18:47, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Zxcvbnm: it appears you have posted a stale warning with a false claim of creating pages with no secondary sources. Bright☀ 18:52, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Star Wars Clone Wars characters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Clone Wars (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:11, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

12 Monkeys - Please hold off on reinserting your material

I understand even if I don't agree with your perspective, but looking at the edit history for the article right now I feel you're edit-warring. Please don't reinsert your edits without a clear consensus in favor of doing so (your RfC is a good step along that path, though I feel you may have jumped the gun). If you continue to reinsert your edits without a clear consensus I may feel I have no choice but to escalate the matter. I'm not trying to threaten or intimidate you...you've been here ten years, so I assume you have an understanding of the edit-warring policies and 3RR. Thank you for your understanding! DonIago (talk) 15:30, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that "clear consensus" doesn't mean local consensus. When an editor makes an edit against policy, it can be reverted because the policy represents consensus. When an editor makes an edit that is backed by policies and guidelines, it can't be reverted on the grounds of "not needed" or "no consensus". The guidelines represent consensus. If you disagree with them, you need to get consensus.

Like The Old Jacobite said, my edit is supported by guidelines, but he feels it's unnecessary. Oops. Consensus by mob. Bright☀ 18:30, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Either way, if this were to go before WP:3RN, I doubt the feeling would be that you had sufficient justification for your repeated reversions, as you're not reverting clear vandalism and there's clearly an ongoing debate, that you're aware of, as to whether the material you wish to include is appropriate. Therefore, best to wait until such a consensus emerges, I think. Certainly for edits like this, there is no deadline, given that we're talking about a film that came out well over a decade ago. DonIago (talk) 05:40, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I am aware of the trigger-happy admins on WP:3RN that would block someone for improving an article according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines rather than deal with a well-known editor who WP:OWNs an article. I am attempting to change that. Bright☀ 13:38, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It seems a little self-righteous to claim that you're improving the article when other editors have expressed a belief that you're not improving the article, and I hope it's understandable why "I'm improving the article" isn't a valid justification for edit-warring, but as you seem to take my point, I think I'm done commenting further on the matter. DonIago (talk) 05:24, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The guidelines and policies specifically call it an improvement. It helps the reader see that the plot summary is faithful to the primary source. The other editors WP:JUSTDON'TLIKEIT and can't articulate why, except Masem who's been trying, each time from a different angle, but he's grasping at straws. The policy and guideline are explicit and straightforward. This is an example of mob rule, where, despite existing policies and guidelines, editors who WP:OWN the article do not "approve" of changes and give flimsy excuses. Bright☀ 06:21, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done here. If you're so convinced your edits are correct, re-insert them without a clear consensus you can point to and we'll take it to WP:3RN and let them decide whether you were edit-warring or not. Otherwise, it seems you do care about getting a consensus before reinserting your edits, in which case I don't know why you're arguing with me here. DonIago (talk) 04:32, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because you say wrong things, like without a clear consensus despite a policy and guideline that encourage this edit; other editors have expressed a belief that you're not improving the article which is a belief that wasn't articulated except by "not needed" which is against Wikipedia policy; consensus you can point to I can point to the policy and guideline, but sadly as stated above, WP:3RN would be more than happy to block me for standing up to WP:OWNers who WP:JUSTDON'TLIKEIT and don't have a policy or guideline to stand on. That's not consensus, that's mob rule. Bright☀ 16:04, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
