Edits

WP:EVASION states "This does not mean that edits must be reverted just because they were made by a blocked editor (obviously helpful changes, such as fixing typos or undoing vandalism, can be allowed to stand)." Inserting much-needed references and updating info are helpful changes. You're the loser, buddy.

You forfeited your Wikipedia privileges through disruptive editing and then block evasion. We decide, not you. JohnInDC (talk) 16:42, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You and UW Dawg crap are in the same boat. Losers, abusers, bullies, vandalizers, disrupters. One day, y'all will reap what you sow. You will be blocked forever for your shenanigans, and I will enjoy every second of it. Go screw yourself. 2600:1015:B119:5D3F:ADF9:840D:FFBB:78E9 (talk) 22:41, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What I said at Dawg's Talk page is good enough to repeat here: Instead of casting stones, how about you work on getting yourself unblocked - showing some understanding of how your original edits were disruptive, and committing not to engage in sockpuppetry any longer? Until you do those things, you have no standing to complain - at all - about other editors' work. Oh, PS. No personal attacks. JohnInDC (talk) 22:42, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

67.197.90.234

Hi, I see you edit Ohio State Buckeyes football quite a bit. Can you help with a problem editor, 67.197.90.234, who won't stop changing Ohio State's number of Big Ten Championships from 37 to 38? I've explained in edit summaries and on their talk page that OSU's 2010 Big Ten Championship was vacated and so shouldn't be included in the count. The editor ignores everything and repeatedly changes it back to 38 with no edit summary and no reply on their talk page. In my edit summaries, I've even included the table that shows the 37 conference championships, which includes a note below it that explains 2010 isn't included because it was vacated. That table is also wikilinked in the lead. But I assume the editor is well aware of that but doesn't care. It's also explained in the Ohio State Buckeyes football article. I was hoping you had a way of dealing with this editor because they apparently aren't going to stop changing it, and refuse to communicate about it. Thanks. 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:3059:8016:5847:3E43 (talk) 14:01, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The editor has just changed it again, as I was posting my above comment to you. 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:3059:8016:5847:3E43 (talk) 14:05, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
