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

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 be much more careful not to introduce typographical errors into articles that were correct before.

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Charlie Adam. DB1729talk 01:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hey am a fan of soccer there was nickname for him named "charlie Adams" l changed it as l wished to encompass the alternative name.This is why l chose to do this based of my prior knowledge, when l got your message l knew it was incorrect infomation and l will be more careful with my posts.Also can you remove my warning as it was an unknown accident.

I created an article on the modern flat earth conspiracy which is distinguised from the already existing flat earth wiki article therefore l believe it should be its own article Ben Dover 23 (talk) 23:15, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oh...I see what you mean. The topic seems to be already covered at Modern flat Earth beliefs. DB1729talk 23:19, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
In my opinion,it is rather broad in subject and it dosen't in my opinion fully encompass it as a "conspiracy theory" which at the moment is an article which should give it some sort of independence from the topic which is currently there in my opinion.In wikipedia l believe everyone should have an opinion.

Flat Earth Conspiracy (to be distinguised from history of flat Earth as a theory)

edit

The Flat Earth conspiracy is a conspiacy theory. It has cult like following by a small minority which argue its existence despite overwheming evidence aganist it.

The Flat Earth Conspiracy is a long-standing belief that the Earth is not a sphere but rather a flat, disk-shaped plane. This belief has been around for centuries but gained renewed attention in the 21st century due to the rise of the internet and social media.

The theory holds that the Earth is not a globe but a flat disc, with the North Pole at the center and a wall of ice, or "Antarctica," surrounding the edges to prevent people from falling off. Proponents of the Flat Earth theory argue that evidence for the roundness of the Earth, such as photographs of the Earth from space and the existence of gravity, are hoaxes perpetuated by government agencies and scientists.

While the Flat Earth theory has been debunked by numerous scientific experiments and observations, it continues to be promoted by a small but vocal group of believers. This group has organized conferences, formed online communities, and even launched their own rockets to try to prove their theory.

The modern Flat Earth movement has been largely driven by online communities and conspiracy theorists. The Flat Earth Society, for example, was founded in the 19th century but saw a resurgence in popularity in the 21st century with the launch of their website and the rise of social media.

The Flat Earth theory has been widely criticized by the scientific community, who argue that it is based on flawed logic and ignores evidence that supports the roundness of the Earth. Many scientists have also pointed out that the Flat Earth theory is in direct conflict with basic physics, such as the laws of gravity and motion.

Despite these criticisms, the Flat Earth theory continues to be promoted by a small but vocal group of believers. While the theory has little scientific basis, it remains a fascinating topic for discussion and debate. Ben Dover 23 (talk) 08:40, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello friend. Just making sure you're aware that we already have an article on this, at Flat Earth. Also, we don't normally use user talk pages for drafts. You can use your sandbox page (located at User:Ben Dover/sandbox) for this. Or you can submit a draft via AFC, at WP:AW. Hope this helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:34, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't know where to put it it's meant to be a proposal also it should be a seperate article from flat earth as it discusses the history of its belief.Mine is about the modern conspiracy theory. Ben Dover 23 (talk) 23:10, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

The draft would need inline references to the reliable sources where you found all of this info. Each "thought" or assertion needs a reference. An article cannot consist of just your discussion; this encyclopedia summarizes what has been written elsewhere. David10244 (talk) 08:17, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
 
Hello, Ben Dover 23! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! David.moreno72 23:24, 30 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Technodad (father of technoblade)

edit

Technoblade's father (Technodad) is well known for announcing his son's death and some charity streams. Ben Dover 23 (talk) 11:32, 31 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

This could be expanded upon with more people- Ben Dover the creator, as it is unique to technoblade and that his father does not yet have a wiki page despite becoming a well known youtuber.If this can be confirmed as a article free for access people who may have inside info may be able to make edits; at this time however l will try to make improvments.

I've fixed your latest unblock request. Please do not include the "code" and "nowiki" tags in your postings, as they mess up the formatting, and stop it from being included in the unblock request list.
