Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one of your recent edits to Jodi Arias has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

  Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Jodi Arias with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. Moosehadley 03:54, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Jodi Arias with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. Moosehadley 03:57, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Jodi Arias. Moosehadley 04:00, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Moosehadley 04:00, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. 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 adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Mauricio Mazzetti may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • '''Mauricio Mazzetti''' was born June 18, 1986, in [[Córdoba, Argentina]]) is an Argentine football [[Defender (association football)|defender]], currently playing for [[AEK

Hi there, I noticed you recently started reviewing AFC submissions. I would like to ask you to stop reviewing them, as your edit history clearly demonstrates you lack the experience to do so. Feel free to return when you have several more months experience on Wikipedia. Thanks --Mdann52talk to me! 08:36, 6 January 2014 (UTC)Reply


Hi Mdann52,

Well thank you for noticing? I am very familiar with Wikipedia having been a member for about seven years. I have over 20 years experience in writing, editing, and reviewing works in the real world. Thanks for your comment. Have a great day! :) Carriearchdale (talk) 15:29, 6 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

"Having been a member for 7 years..." Ummm... Your Contributions indicate this account has existed for less than 7 days, and by posting at the top of my talk page, I contest the familiar bit too... An I missing something here? --Mdann52talk to me! 15:44, 6 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi Mdann52, User:Mdann52

Yes I think you are missing something here. Please refer to the documentation I have copied here for you or do a search of my user name on your own if you prefer.

"Name : Carriearchdale User ID : 17299935 Registered : 21 November 2007"

2007 to 2014 is about 7 years give or take.

Have a fabulous day! Carriearchdale (talk) 15:52, 6 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

(edit conflict) I have also looked at your on wiki experience under this account name and find it lacking to the level that we expect AFC volunteers to have. If you've worked on annother account, please provide the name so we can verify your experience. If you don't want to disclose a previous account that would have the experience, we will have to take that as an attempt to avoid scrutiny. Finally Wikipedia has a lot of esoteric rules and policies therefore real world experience, while helpful, is not a automatic grant of experience for AfC. Also, having a registered account is not the same as actively editing. Hasteur (talk) 15:57, 6 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello Hasteur, User:Hasteur

I have only one wiki account. To suggest I am attempting to avoid scrutiny is bordering on the edge of a personal attack. I never said I had about seven years of editing experience on wikipedia. I said I am very familiar with wikipedia and its esoteric rules and policies.

And your immediate reach for the words "personal attack" suggest that you are more experienced than your edit history (which start on 03:37, 3 January 2014) reveals. If you wish to persist in trying to push your viewpoint in such a manner I will bring it up for a consensus decision at the AFC WikiProject talk page. I would also note that you've recently come off a Edit warring block. If you truly had the 7 years of experience editing Wikipedia, you would have known about Edit Warring, BLP, and 3RR before you had been blocked. Hasteur (talk) 16:32, 6 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Wow Hasteur, User:Hasteur


" If you truly had the 7 years of experience editing Wikipedia"

I never said that I did. What I said was that I am very familiar with Wikipedia having been a member for about seven years. I have over 20 years experience in writing, editing, and reviewing works in the real world.


I will persist in speaking about what I think about matters on my own talk page.

This really sounds like a threat and bullying: "If you wish to persist in trying to push your viewpoint in such a manner I will bring it up for a consensus decision at the AFC WikiProject talk page."

Threats and bullying are not needed here. Please go away. Have a great day! :) Carriearchdale (talk) 17:08, 6 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Decision on requesting unblocking?

edit

I think that over a month has passed since you were blocked, which is generally long enough for most people to make a decision. I think myself perhaps if no request is made in the next week there is a very real chance some sort of a ban will be requested.John Carter (talk) 21:40, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Why not leave her be? Let her on her own time, it's kind of ridiculous that you want to seek a ban when no disruptive conduct is taking place. Tutelary (talk) 22:18, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
I did misstate the above and I apologize for that. I was misrepresenting through an error on my part the material Dennis included in the Notification section above. However I do note that in that section he indicated some sort of action might be taken then. It will likely be a noticeboard discussion and there are a number of possible outcomes of such discussion. John Carter (talk) 22:32, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
OK, what will the noticeboard discussion be about? Where is the incident here? Where is the conduct that a noticeboard would be needed? Tutelary (talk) 22:52, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
