  Do not use multiple IP addresses to disrupt Wikipedia, like you did at British Americans. Such attempts to avoid detection, circumvent policies or evade blocks or sanctions will not succeed. You are welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, but your recent edits have been reverted or removed.

The bulk of the list page I was blocked from was unsourced - it's clear the issue is that I ran afoul of @Binksternet's persistent trend of anti-American deletionism across Wikipedia's various cultural pages. 76.157.42.81 (talk) 03:15, 14 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
You ran afoul of Wikipedia's policies, same as every other time you got blocked. Now you're evading this block with Special:Contributions/50.230.140.178. Your behavior is the problem. Binksternet (talk) 04:50, 14 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
No, that is the excuse you use every time someone runs afoul of your desire to de-emphasize and smother American cultural perspectives across Wikipedia on articles full of edits that reek of British jingoism and anti-American revisionism. You are manipulative and shady, costuming yourself as an administrator when you are not. You are content to disregard Wikipedia policy, so long as the edits made suit your particular biases. You cannot gatekeep cultural pages using neverending accusations of "block evasion" and "sockpuppetry" as an excuse. YOUR behavior is the problem, Binksternet, and because you are accountable to no one, you are free to bully, police narratives, lie, and disregard policy yourself. I will absolutely keep fighting against you as much as possible. You are a cancer on this website. 76.157.42.81 (talk) 05:02, 14 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Comparatively, I'm a late-comer to the fight against your disruption. Back in 2016 you were quite a handful at multiple Harry Potter topics, the List of children's films, and a bunch of other stuff. Just a few minutes after you were blocked for a week as Dcasey98, you used the Chicago-area IP Special:Contributions/24.15.9.65 to restore your ridiculous notion that Hunger Games with its gory deaths and severe violence was a children's film.[1] That's when NinjaRobotPirate indeffed you. But no, you kept evading your blocks. FilmandTVFan28, Trivialist, MarnetteD and Betty Logan were barely able to keep you in check. You also hit the Men's rights movement with some hateful spew: "certain feminists looking to silence half of the population in order to keep gaining entitlements and gender supremacy." I didn't become aware of your disruption until three years later when you decided that punk rock was invented in the USA, which is nonsense. That's when you were using the IP range Special:Contributions/2601:243:400:F535:0:0:0:0/64, edit-warring at the same old articles such as the list of children's films. You've been a timesink and a nuisance with every "contribution" you make. Objective people looking at your edit history would immediately know who is the cancer here.

List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes Improvement Time!

edit

Hello there! I am sending this alert to all members of the WikiProject Weather and editors who have recently edited in the realm of tornadoes.

There is a large and important discussion ongoing, with the goal to completely overhaul and improve the List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes. The previous improvement attempt back in 2022/2023 gained almost no participation. This alert is being sent out so these discussions hopefully gain a reasonably-sized participation, so the F5/EF5 tornado article, one of the most viewed weather-related articles on Wikipedia, can be improved for all readers!

If you wish to participate, please visit: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather/Possible F5/EF5/IF5 tornadoes. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 00:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

User is back after expiration of 1-year block. Could you reblock him @ToBeFree: --- FMSky (talk) 15:13, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi FMSky, the block reason back then was the addition of unsourced content; there have been no warnings since and the edits mostly seem to be removals rather than additions. I didn't check every edit, though. If there are specific diffs I should look at, please let me know! If it's not clear if a block is immediately needed, please provide a few warnings here and report (perhaps at WP:ANI) if the behavior persists. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. FMSky (talk) 06:39, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

You routinely edit with a cultural bias across the music genre pages, as can be clearly seen through your typical habit of;
1. Deleting credit (or upholding deletions of credit) for the United States in summary templates, even where there is ample and/or explicit established foundational involvement from American artists.
2. Adding credit for the United Kingdom to "cultural origins" sections of summary templates, even when there is minimal if any sourced information to support such an addition. At the same time, you widely stigmatize and revert any such attempt to do the same for the United States, even with more in-text, cited support for such an addition than you typically have when you edit to add the United Kingdom.
3. Re-arranging the order of "cultural origins" sections of summary templates to read something like "the United Kingdom and the United States" (rather than vice-versa) whenever possible.
This to me seems like POV-pushing/bias on your part. My editing is not disruptive, I am upholding long-standing edits that you, almost exclusively, are altering to fit your anti-American/pro-British bias vis a vis music and music history. 76.157.42.81 (talk) 22:00, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I did not vandalize Wikipedia, Binksternet. The Beatles do not belong in that lede. You are a gatekeeping POV-pusher, and none of my edits are disruptive. The claim that the Beatles were at the forefront isn't justified with a source, and even if it was, it is subjective and nonsensical to claim that the Beatles alone were at the forefront of album popularization. 76.157.42.81 (talk) 10:48, 18 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
