Disambiguation link notification for September 27[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Irish-Scots, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brian Cox (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.

Events happening in Dublin[edit]

Hi! As you tagged yourself as being in Ireland, I hope you don't mind me reaching out. We know have a recognised Wikimedia Community Ireland User Group and we have been running workshops and other events in Dublin and beyond. In case you are interested our next event will be this Saturday in Collins Barracks, you can find the details here. Smirkybec (talk) 22:56, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Munir[edit]

Thanks for adding that category back into the article. A few IP users (for some reason from the Netherlands) seemed pretty adamant before that there were no reliable sources for his faith, going as far as to blank the word "Muslim" from a news article about him! I must not have been watching when they last took the category away from him, excellent spot there Sir. '''tAD''' (talk) 01:26, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox dates[edit]

Hi, when updating club stats in the infobox you should update the |pcupdate= or |club-update= parameter by adding five tildes (~~~~~), which generates the specific time the update was made. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 17:40, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep this in mind. Mattythewhite (talk) 22:22, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

September 2015[edit]

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Liam Feeney, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:56, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

November 2015[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Leonardo Bittencourt, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Giant Snowman 12:43, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Live updates[edit]

Hi.

Please do not update statistics or scores while a match is in progress. Instead, wait until the match has finished before updating. At WikiProject Football there is a consensus not to add live scores and also a consensus not to update any statistics while a match is in progress. Without live updates it is easier to avoid duplicate information and errors from being published on the article.

Please keep this in mind. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 18:33, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

July 2016[edit]

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Jason Schwartzman, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 12:44, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 13[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Italian name, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lucchese.

Categories[edit]

As previously noted by Doniago above, categories are not to be added to articles unless said categories are supported by reliably sourced article content. I have reverted your edits to several articles as they do not meet the requirements of WP:BLPCAT and WP:EGRS. --Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:57, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Block notice[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. 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 ~~~~}}. Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:38, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have been warned repeatedly over many years, including receiving several final warnings, that you need to include reliable sources when adding material to biography articles. You have continued to completely disregarded these warnings with edits such as this and have not responded to a single concern raised here. Please ensure that you review this fundamental Wikipedia policy (as well as the related WP:BLPCAT and WP:EGRS) and that you include reliable sources when adding or changing information, including categories, in biography articles moving forward.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:38, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Motives[edit]

Hi, I noticed that you've been adding "Motive" fields to various massacres. For example: "Antisemitism, Germanisation, pan-Germanism" in Kamianets-Podilskyi massacre: [1]. It seems that the better motive would be "Nazism". Pan-Germanism did not make the SS / Police murder the people. In general, it seems to be an over-simplifications. I.e. the Ukrainians who participated in the Lviv Pogrom of 1941 were not motivated by pan-Germanism. --K.e.coffman (talk) 01:40, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I know, the Ukrainians that were involved in the Lviv porgrom were not motivated by pan-Germanism, the Nazis that took part in it were though. --Peadar Ó Croidheáin (talk) 01:42, 16 January (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 28[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pommer (surname), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pomeranian (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.)

February 2019[edit]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Ted Bundy. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

If you continue to add unsourced material and/or categories to biography articles after this block expires I will assume you have no intention of following our policy regarding living persons and I will block your account indefinitely.

As you continue to add ethnicity and descent categories to articles that do not meet the requirements of WP:BLPCAT and WP:CATDEF, I have blocked your account indefinitely. If you will be appealing the block, you need to ensure that you are able to demonstrate that you actually understand the policy requirements for adding ethnic/descent categories to biography articles. A complete ban from adding such material to BLPs may also be needed.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:57, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Peadar Ó Croidheáin (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I apologise for adding unauthorised ethnicity and descent categories into articles. I recognise now that I should have properly sourced my work before publishing. I promise that this will not happen again.

Decline reason:

This appeal does not evidence an adequate understanding of the issues leading up to the block or the policies involved. I am therefore declining it.Yunshui ^雲 _水 07:51, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Unblock discussion[edit]

As this is your third block for WP:BLP violations, I will not unblock you without a topic ban on BLP's, broadly construed, including [WP:BLPCAT]] and Categorization/Ethnicity. Please modify your unblock request to acknowledge this condition and to describe what constructive edits you would make. Dlohcierekim (talk) 01:34, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Given your problems sourcing content, I'm not sure if we should unblock you. You'll need to address this as well. Dlohcierekim (talk) 01:37, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I am uncertain as to what got me banned. Initially I was sure that it was related to my not citing sources or even reliable sources regarding the ethnicity and descent categories but evidently that is not the case. Are there any specific sections within WP:BLP and/or WP:BLPCAT and/or Categorization/Ethnicity that I would need to read and cite so that I can understand where I went wrong? Peadar Ó Croidheáin (talk) 12:38, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not sure why you've come to believe the block was not based on repeated violations of WP:BLPCAT and WP:EGRS (and by extention WP:CATDEF). As the blocking admin I can confirm these issues were definitely the basis for the block.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:39, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - I came to believe this because when I had apologised for adding unauthorised ethnicity and descent categories into articles I got a response back saying, "This appeal does not evidence an adequate understanding of the issues leading up to the block or the policies involved". Peadar Ó Croidheáin (talk) 10:37, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      - I believe what the reviwing admin is looking for is a demonstration from you that you understand the requirements for adding ethnic and descent categories to articles. Can you explain what the requirements are? I assume that's what Dlohcierekim is looking for.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:53, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        Considering this is the third block for the same thing, I think they should stay away from WP:BLPCAT, WP:EGRS, and WP:CATDEF. If anyone feels assured there will not be a fourth block if they return to these areas, then they are free to unblock.-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:58, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        Are these the sections to which you were referring [3] and [4]? Peadar Ó Croidheáin (talk) 22:57, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        I have not heard anything from Ponyo (talk) or Deepfriedokra (talk) in months in relation to this unblock discussion. Peadar Ó Croidheáin (talk) 00:38, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        Blocking admins do not review their own blocks. If you would like to make another appeal, you need to post the template with your unblock request as you did the first time.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 15:49, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Peadar Ó Croidheáin (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I understand that the reason I was banned from further editing on Wikipedia was because of my disregard for the policy requirements for adding the ethnicity and descent categories within articles on a person's biography. I was informed by -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} that --Deepfriedokra (talk) wanted me to demonstrate that I "understand the requirements for adding ethnic and descent categories to articles." In response to this, were these the sections to which you were referring? [9] and [10]? I have Aspergers' syndrome, as a result of this I struggle with communication and the ability to sort through the most pertinent of information. I can get very flustered in these types of tasks. I hope you understand that I am sincere when I say that my adding of unauthorised ethnicity and descent categories into biography articles was never intentional. I apologise for my errors in judgement and I will be extremely careful in the future.

Decline reason:

There are no grounds here to lift the block. If you are able to demonstrate your understanding of our policy, you are welcome to do so and then request an unblock. Alternatively, if you are willing to accept a topic ban as described above, please say so when requesting an unblock. Yamla (talk) 00:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Do not modify (or remove) declined unblock requests for your currently active block. You are free to make a new request. --Yamla (talk) 00:23, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Ponyo (talk) or Deepfriedokra (talk), Yamla (talk) for some reason the sections were changed in my unblock reason. Were these the policy sections to which you were referring? [5] and [6]? Peadar Ó Croidheáin (talk) 00:26, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ponyo (talk) and Deepfriedokra (talk). It has been over four years since I was blocked from Wikipedia. I was wondering if it would be okay to restart the appeal process? I left a message on 20 January 2021, but it was never replied to. I am very sorry for all this. I have autism and often times this makes it difficult for me to express what problems I may be having. I was blocked for repeated violations of the biographies of living persons policy, in particular, persistent WP:BLPCAT and WP:EGRS violations. In my appeals, Ponyo stated that he/she believed that I was required to demonstrate that I understood the requirements for adding ethnic and descent categories to articles before adding them. The problem I have is that my autism also makes it difficult for me to fully understand and visualise what someone needs me to do. I would like to show you that I know what is needed of me, to show that I understand the requirements for addings ethnic and descent categories to articles, I just don't know how to do it.
