User talk:FrogCast

October 2018

Your recent editing history at Murder of Seth Rich shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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.

The reversions of other users were emotional outbursts, not actual well argued points.

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Create new pages and rename pages
Edit semi-protected pages
Upload images
Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (FrogCast) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Regarding Notice of Edit-Warring

I suggest your read WP:BRD. If your proposed change is not accepted, you can't keep adding it back in, even if you think you have great reasons to add it and the editors arguing against you do not have good reasons. You have to seek WP:CONSENSUS for your proposed changes. If you just keep reverting, you will most definitely get blocked.

Please keep in mind you are a new editor and don't know all the rules here and you those who disagree with you have been here a long time. You'll want to spend some more time learning the rules. Fortunately, we do have the rule WP:AGF. --David Tornheim (talk) 12:03, 5 October 2018 (UTC) I am not a new user. This is a newish account, and I am familiar with the tactics used by your ilk. Making emotional outbursts, without giving an argument, and then claiming that I need consensus from others who are just as emotionally oriented and argumentally bankrupt; it is asinine. FrogCast (talk) 12:10, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You need consensus. Always. Period/full-fucking-stop. Self-serving garbage rationalizations about "emotional outbursts" and such cut no ice.

I am not a new user. Really. So, what was your previous account? Has is been blocked or banned? --Calton | Talk 12:13, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, it hasnt. Stop being an emotional wimp. FrogCast (talk) 12:16, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stop arguing like a child and answer the question. What was your previous account? ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 12:25, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No. Assume good faith. FrogCast (talk) 12:27, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Who's assuming bad faith? You have two very experienced editors asking you to explain a claim you made. So explain. If you can't or won't, we can go get an admin to find out. Of course, that route will almost certainly result in you being sanctioned. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 12:31, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are assuming bad faith. You do not need to know which account it is. You can just assume I am telling the truth. Go ahead, get an admin. You are an emotional wreck who does not use logical arguments. Which includes the appeal to "Experienced editors": Its not an argument. FrogCast (talk) 12:35, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
