December 2024

Hello, I'm Bowler the Carmine. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Killing of Brian Thompson in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Bowler the Carmine | talk 20:22, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi. There was no error with the message.

What wre you objecting to? RomanianObserver41 (talk) 20:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

You entered the edit summary "Folk hero" is WP: PEACOCK. on this revision, even though it did not touch the phrase "folk hero" in the article. Bowler the Carmine | talk 20:31, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Rapid editing/edit conflict caused that. RomanianObserver41 (talk) 23:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Killing of Brian Thompson shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Killing of Brian Thompson) for a period of 24 hours 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 review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Isabelle Belato ^🏳‍🌈 20:09, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Adding new information to articles should be done in the body first

Please read Wikipedia:Writing better articles § "Lead follows body" and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section § Relative emphasis. These are incredibly important principles when editing and are essentially non-negotiable. New information goes to the body and gets summarized in the lead only after that while respecting relative emphasis and opportunities for encyclopedic summarization. —Alalch E. 17:19, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Another December 2024

Hello, JoeyPannetone here. I see that you have a history of getting into editing wars this month RE: the above comments by Bowler the Carmine and have done the same things on the Killing of Brian Thompson as you have on the Brian Earp. I meticulously went over his page and cited every single change that was made previously and am sad to see you've blanketed undid all that careful work. Your edit summaries did not describe the changes you made.

Of course, if you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message.

I have an obligation to remove material that is false and potentially libellous.

To quote Bowler the Carmine, it appears that "you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree." Their response above is quite thorough and I'm not sure I can actually add anything more as it pertains to what you've recently done to the Brian Earp page. JoeyPannetone (talk) 10:05, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

The original changes were by DaveConeflower. Not me. Did you not see the other users who reverted your edits back. I'm responding to you now on the article's talk as we speak. Earp did call circumcision mutilation in 2012. The article is making no claim about his position today. The controversy on the Killing of Brian Thompson page has been worked out on another page and there's not an edit war on it.

I responded on the talk page. Not sure why there's hostility. RomanianObserver41 (talk) 10:13, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
