  This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Tavis Smiley, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

  This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, as you did at Talk:Nostradamus, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. In this diff, you directly attack another editor, make false claims, and are generally insulting.

The info you are now removing isn't in any way a personal attack. Stop being disruptive or you will be blocked. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:05, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Nostradamus. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 00:58, 29 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Janis Joplin.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:52, 11 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

You erased my words from this very page. It is my "User talk" page. I clicked "submit" so I could defend myself. The submission did not go through because you blocked it. That means you are violating a Wikipedia rule. You are not allowed to mess with someone's "User talk" page. Please stop.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

edit

  Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:64.183.42.25 reported by User:FlightTime (Result: ). Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:09, 11 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

You erased my words from this very page. It is my "User talk" page. I clicked "submit" so I could defend myself. I tried to direct your attention to errors in Janis Joplin's "Sexuality and relationships" section. Your actions are condoning those errors. My submission here did not go through because you blocked it. That means you are violating a Wikipedia rule. You are not allowed to mess with someone's "User talk" page.

You need to seek consensus for the information you're adding to the article, And STOP edit warring - FlightTime (open channel) 22:18, 11 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Also, I have not removed anything from your page Please be careful when making such claims. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:21, 11 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Then why did my attempt to defend myself not get processed after I clicked "submit"? I was trying to tell you to go to the bottom of the Talk page of Janis Joplin's article. Even if you did not mess with my page, please go to that Talk page. There I have explained that all previous edits of Janis' "Sexuality and relationships" section had a few minor errors. I have a book next to my computer, and it is one of the major sources for her entire article. Title is Going Down With Janis. Do you have a copy?
It's called an Edit conflict - FlightTime (open channel) 22:43, 11 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
I've read your post at the bottom of the talk page, but that changes nothing. Your changes need to be discussed on the talk page, to seek consensus - FlightTime (open channel) 22:46, 11 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Here we go again. I clicked "submit" for my comment here, and it disappeared. I tried to retrieve it with the "back button" on my web browser, to no avail. My attempt to defend myself has been permanently destroyed.
If you're having trouble just trying to post on you own talk page, maybe you should find something else than Wikipedia. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:01, 11 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Or maybe Wikipedia should allow someone who has a book next to his or her computer to cite a passage from that book, especially if a particular article cites the book as a source many times, and dozens of other Wikipedia editors have added the citations. Unlike blogs, Wikipedia is all about its sources. Do you have any of the sources for Janis' article near your computer? I have conceded that none of the sources listed in the article (so far) mentions Carl Bernstein, and you are right about his 1969 newspaper review being "not notable."

I've given FlightTime a bollocking for harrassing you and others, that should suffice. Regarding this revert, removing a citation to the Washington Post and Times Herald written by Carl Bernstein praising the post-Big Brother group under the grounds of "not notable" shows a complete and utter lack of understanding of what writing an encyclopedia is. Notability is about the suitability for a standalone article; the correct policy here is verifiability (can you back the quote up to show it's true?) and due weight (is it of sufficient importance in the article overall to mention). Anyway, I've put the quotation back, but trimmed a bit. This online Washington Post source cross references the Bernstein piece, with the summary "Simply, an evening with Janis Joplin is a party and a romp".
