Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ptb011985, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Your recent editing history at Mitragyna speciosa shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at Talk:Mitragyna speciosa, you may be blocked from editing. Zefr (talk) 15:54, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

You have been warned also. Your recent editing constitutes edit warring. The next reversion that occurs without true talk consensus by ALL editors involved (not just your buddies), or acceptance of edits that reflect an consensus impasse, will result in a complaint and investigation.Ptb011985 (talk) 15:56, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive behaviour. It appears you are purposefully harassing another editor. Wikipedia aims to provide a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing other users, as you did on Talk:Mitragyna speciosa, potentially compromises that safe environment. If you continue behaving like this, you may be blocked from editing. Zefr (talk) 16:26, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Whom am I harassing? You've been trailing my edits and comments for the last week, and doing just what I've been doing. I gave you a similar warning and you deleted it, as you have done with many other complaints about your behavior here.Ptb011985 (talk) 16:27, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Fyi, you are reported. --Zefr (talk) 17:24, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

You've been doing the same thing all the while to me; give me a break.Ptb011985 (talk) 17:52, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Revert again, and you will be reported again. In your zeal to mash the revert key you are also breaking the article by inserting garbage. Alexbrn (talk) 15:24, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

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:Ptb011985 reported by User:Alexbrn (Result: ). Thank you. Alexbrn (talk) 15:37, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

February 2018

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring, as you did at Mitragyna speciosa. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: .  SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:45, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

---

Request reason:

Only two bona fide reversions were made; if it's under the banner of 'warring' then Alexbrn should also be blocked. The issue is being attempted to be resolved on talk but Alexbrn (and Zefr, Calton) is now editing without discussing on talk, saying "revert to good"

Decline reason:

You're blocked for long term edit warring, not 3RR. You'll need to address that in any unblock request. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 17:28, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

The block wasn't just for the reversions today, it was for repeatedly reverting over time. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:47, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Again User:SarekOfVulcan and User:Jpgordon, if you're issuing a block on me, you should issue a block on the small handful of editors I mentioned (Alexbrn, Calton, Zefr), who have been doing exactly that under the false banner of consensus, and are now capitalizing on the block to overhaul the article. I'd report them but can't.Ptb011985 (talk) 18:28, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

I didn't block you. I just told you what you need to do to get unblocked. And, yes, when the person who was edit warring against consensus is blocked, normal editing on the article continues. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 19:39, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

User:SarekOfVulcan User:Jpgordon There was no consensus; there was a lack of it. The editors I mentioned have been warning and reporting any users who disagree, while protecting their version. All those mentioned have repeatedly reverted upwards of 40 new edits of 5-10 different editors over the last week or so, with no consequences. In the case of Zefr I believe, I warned him of it, which he deleted from his talk page.Ptb011985 (talk) 20:23, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Warning

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Talk:Mitragyna speciosa. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Alexbrn (talk) 05:53, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

February 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mitragyna speciosa. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Alexbrn (talk) 16:26, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:30, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

You had two editors revert your addition and one other editor disagree with it on the talk page. You need to read and follow WP:BRD. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:37, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

March 2018

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
