Hello, I'm ChamithN. I noticed that you made a change to an article, George Lucas, 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.

Hello, I'm Nihonjoe. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Template:Science fiction without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:34, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Barek. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Zombie has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:03, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Nuclear holocaust, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Dbrodbeck (talk) 17:20, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at World War III, you may be blocked from editing. Please stop removing categories and projects without consensus, thanks. Dbrodbeck (talk) 17:22, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Talk:The Last of Us.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.

Why are you removing the WikiProject Science Fiction banner from the talk page? And why are you changing the importance of The Last of Us to "high"? A lot of your contributions are being reverted right away, because you do not seem to follow the guidelines on how to edit. I urge you to do so, because I do think you want to help, but right now, you're doing it the wrong way. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 15:01, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 14:56, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:The Last of Us. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 11:23, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Again, don't do this. High level of importance for WP:VG is for companies, groundbreaking video games and genres. You alone can't just decide that you think it's more important. That you again are removing the WP:SF banner is not okay. Not talking is not the same as being mute. Androids are very much a theme in science fiction. Consider this to be your final warning. If you continue to keep editing unconstructively, I will go to ARV. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 11:28, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Or this. Where do you get this from? You're not involved in any of these WikiProjects, so why are you deciding what's important? Stop your disruptive editing, please. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 11:31, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Or that one. "Androids are not fictional technologie"? Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is the first thing that came to mind, and it is fiction. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 11:33, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. --soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 11:47, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for persistent disruptive editing, with no sign of taking any notice of messages from other editors about the problems with your editing. You appear to have good intentions, but you are doing large amounts of editing which show that you do not understand some of the things you are changing. You should not change things such as article assessments until you have enough experience to know how they work. This is a short block, made in the hope that it will prompt you to start taking notice of messages posted to you, and responding to them. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:04, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

In addition to the messages above, I will give you just a couple more examples of things you have been doing where you have clearly misunderstood. You have removed the "WikiProject Science Fiction" banner from talk pages of some articles such as Talk:Nuclear holocaust and Talk:Android (robot), with edit summaries indicating that you think that banner means that the article is on a purely fictitious subject. It doesn't: it simply means that the article contains material of relevance to that project. If you look at the top of the page Talk:Android (robot), for example, you will see that it says "This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects..." and the subject certainly is of interest to the WikiProject on science fiction. Androids are a major topic in a very large number of science fiction stories, films, etc. Likewise, removing "Category:Science fiction themes" from the article Android (robot). Androids certainly are a common theme in science fiction, whether or not they also exist in real life. You would be better advised to stop editing in connection with Wikiprojects, article categories, article assessments, and so on until you have far more experience of how they work and what they mean.

When I blocked your account, I could easily have posted a standard templated block notice in a few seconds. Instead, I gave up quite a bit of my time drafting and editing messages explaining what the problems were, to try to help you understand. However, I was wasting my time. You went ahead and evaded the block by editing without logging in, continued to edit-war while doing so, repeated some of exactly the kinds of things which I had explained to you were mistakes and continued to ignore everything you have been told by editors who have posted messages to try to help you. Obviously, I have blocked you again. This time the block is for a week. If you continue in the same way again don't be surprised if you are blocked for very much longer.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:22, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Diffs: Unsourced genre additions here despite very obvious note reminding editors just like yourself to provide references. When this block expires, please do not submit any more unsourced genres, as this will result in another block. If you care enough to make the change, you should care enough to provide references from reliable sources. Also, per WP:CAT, there must be an obvious reason for categories to be added to articles. When you add a film to thriller categories as you did here, but there's no sourced prose to support that the film is a thriller, it comes off as sneaky POV editing. Same here where you silently change a category from fantasy to adventure. Going forward, please don't add or change cats without being sure that sourced prose in the article supports your changes. If the prose doesn't exist, either add the sourced prose, or move to another article. You should also be using edit summaries 99% of the time, so that other editors understand the rationale for your changes. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:28, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Since you have again been evading your block to continue your disruptive editing, I have changed the block to indefinite. Wikipedia works by collaboration and consensus, not by individual editors doing whatever they prefer, ignoring policies, guidelines, and consensus among other editors. You have been told how to request an unblock, and unless and until this account is unblocked you do not have permission to edit Wikipedia at all: just ignoring the block and editing without logging in is not acceptable.
