ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

Hiya on the 19 Kids & Counting article I've noticed one certain IP Address adding false info so could you please protect the article with regards to said edit it's Joy-Anna's baby name when I don't know for a fact she hasn't given birth yet and she hasn't given a name. I already reverted said edit.

May 2019= a big shit warning for no reason

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 19 Kids and Counting. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

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

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. Please don't reinsert, without explanation, unverified and trivial BLP information. Drmies (talk) 04:28, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

M42380, as the uninvolved admin patrolling RfPP who ended up protecting the page for BLP violations, I am also concerned with your unexplained reversion. Please explain yourself. For your consideration, here the DS BLP (which is in effect here) template:

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

• El_C, thank you. M42380, I see you are not a very frequent editor, and that's fine--but you should know that these aren't simply matters one can drop in. First of all, such information, esp. about living people needs to be rigorously verified. Second, the question of whether that information is relevant in the first place is still open. Third, reverting without any explanation is just never a good idea on a collaborative project. The reason El C dropped this note on your talk page is not to in any way threaten you; it is, rather, to inform you just how seriously we try to be about such matters. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 04:47, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Drmies my edit was reversing the edit made by someone by taking off the grandbabies and children in law that are the current generations of the family. If it is going include Jim Bob and Michelle's children then it should have the grandchildren and the family members marrying into the family.--M42380 (talk) 04:57, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

But are you not running into the non notability and trivial with this addition? That tends to be a bad idea when we're talking about living people. El_C 04:59, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

El_C what does that have anything to do with the Duggar family? All I did was add the right information back to the family members. I kinda find your comment as a threat and really don't need it. My edit was done in good faith and wasn't trying to do cause anything. See my explanation that I listed earlier. --M42380 (talk) 04:57, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if you feel that you need it, you are subject to it. And no, it is not a threat, it is due notice. El_C 04:59, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

I'll spare you the block (which you have earned by edit warring after my warning), and just fully-protect the article, for now. El_C 05:04, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
