Cliven Bundy

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Cliven Bundy. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

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 and 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. —Locke Cole • t • c 05:21, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

I apologize. He put his social media username on his own talk page when discussing coordinating offsite, so I thought it was allowed. Vizorblaze (talk) 22:08, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh hell. I missed that. Let me take a look. Doug Weller talk 08:44, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

No, that was his email. You can’t use that to do research. Doug Weller talk 13:13, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Springee (talk) 02:59, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

• If this was intended as a clean start, it's a failed one as it was designed to evade scrutiny. This account was blocked per this ANI discussion] where further sanctions were contemplated. In addition, you have logged-out edits that would very likely have led to additional sanctions on your this account if admins had known you were connected to the edits. -- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:40, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
