What is your old account?
editWhat is your old account? You probably need to inform the admins (not sure of the procedure) so as not to be blocked for socking.--Ermenrich (talk) 17:34, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

September 2022
editWelcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Patrick Lancaster. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Do not remove maintenance templates without first resolving the issues. Netherzone (talk) 17:24, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Netherzone, Please consider starting a discussion on the talk page or the article you would like to append unsightly tags to. IntrepidContributor (talk) 17:28, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
Notifications
editThey are rather tricky. See Help:Notifications. You need to either link the username you wish to notify (ping) [[user:Adakikio]], {{u|Adakikio}} or use a notification template such as {{ping}}
or one of its many aliases {{yo}}
or {{reply to}}
. The notification template has the advantage of notifying multiple users. Example: {{yo|Adakikio|Netherzone|IntrepidContributor}}. In the same save, you must have your signature ~~~~ Both must be saved at the same time. You should see the bell icon at the top of your page turn red which when clicked will drop down with a message stating the ping was successful. You will likely need to refresh the page or open another page to see the red bell. If it doesn't work, see suggests at the top of the help page. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 21:50, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Adakiko thanks. I seen this code before but forgot. IntrepidContributor (talk) 03:07, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
Patrick Lancaster
editAre there more RS that describe him as a purveyor of disinformation and propaganda? Might be good to include others. One seems marginal for this claim. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 10:04, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- I think the best RS that describe him as a purveyor of disinformation and propaganda is this Zabrona article, but there was a very strange debate about it [2] [3], and I do not want to go back into that dispute. I think the consensus is that it is reliable and you can add it to the page if you want. Beware you may be accused of being a sock. IntrepidContributor (talk) 12:15, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Pinging
editIf you are going to use peoples non participation in a discussion as evidence against them, it might be a good idea if you notified them about said discussion before doing so. Not everyone watches every single page on Wikipedia. Slatersteven (talk) 10:10, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
- I didn't submit any complaints that required evidence of misconduct. I asked the people (Ermenrich and Rosguill) who didn't participate to participate and I pinged them on the article chat page [4]. I want to avoid further waste of volunteer time on this. IntrepidContributor (talk) 10:18, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
- About 15 minutes before you posted this "Neither Ermenrich or Rosguill participated in the discussion before reverting this editor." which is incorrect as the edit war block was the day before (thus the revert must have been). Nor are they required to participate, as a revert is enough to express dissent. Also Ermenrich did participate [[5]]. Slatersteven (talk) 11:06, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
- Ermenrich participated only by stating that a consensus wasn't reached, which does not constitute participation in the discussion. To date, neither Ermenrich or Rosguill have participated in the discussion as BRD requires. IntrepidContributor (talk) 11:26, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

—Caorongjin 💬 11:13, 11 September 2022 (UTC)Impersonation
editIf I see anything like this again I will block your account. Thank you for understanding. Ymblanter (talk) 14:37, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Ymblanter: I'm not seeing any impersonation in this diff. Perhaps ErnestKrause misread this diff, or maybe they linked the wrong diff and impersonation occurred in a different one? In the linked diff, IntrepidContributor appears to revert ErnestKrause's closure of the discussion and move Ernest's closure opinion into the discussion itself so that it's not lost. Ernest's signature is kept and his comment isn't refactored. Although the discussion's initial proposal garnered little support it did instigate conversation and it seems as though a productive idea might have come out of it, nobody has restored the closure, so Intrepid's re-opening of the thread looks reasonable to me. Pinging Ermenrich as a courtesy as I see this was discussed on their talk page initially. Jr8825 • Talk 14:51, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- In this case I probably also misread the diff, without an appropriate edit summery it looks to me like impersonation. Ymblanter (talk) 15:14, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- Ymblanter I can understand why it looked bad as impersonation, but why did you check it more thoroughly and give a warning first? Did I say something somewhere else you didn't like? IntrepidContributor (talk) 08:25, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- I am not sure what else I should have checked? If someone would undo my close and post the close to the discussion adding my signature I would probably go straight to ANI. Ymblanter (talk) 08:28, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- You didn't answer my question. Why did you threaten administrator action without first warning me? Second question, why aren't you apologising or providing guidance to me about edit summaries even though you acknowledge to Jr8825 that you misread my intention? IntrepidContributor (talk) 08:32, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- Do you understand that your action was completely inappropriate? Yes or no answer, please. Ymblanter (talk) 09:00, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- "Threatening by administrator action" is in fact a warning. Ymblanter (talk) 09:01, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- You're still not answering my question. Given that I had prepared a carefully worded response of my own, my revert of Ernest's hasty Wikipedia:Non-admin closure was entirely appropriate. Your assertion that your threat to use administrator action was "in fact" a warning, doesn't adhere to Wikipedia:Blocking policy, especially since you admitted above that you misread my intention. Please either answer my initial question or apologise for threatening to block me based on your misreading of my edit, otherwise I will file a complaint about your conduct here. IntrepidContributor (talk) 09:28, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- File a complaint. Your action was inappropriate. My warning stands. Ymblanter (talk) 09:43, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- Can you quote from the policy which states that undoing a hasty non-admin closure is "inappropriate"? IntrepidContributor (talk) 09:56, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- This was not just undoing a non-admin closure (which I have no opinion about). This was moving somebody else's comment to the discussion it was not written for, pretending that the comment was in fact for the discussion and not for the closing. Ymblanter (talk) 10:00, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- So should I have just deleted the comment entirely? Can you link to the policy that stipulates that and justifies your threats of administrator action without warning? IntrepidContributor (talk) 10:03, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- If you do not know what to do you should ASK first, this is what the talk pages are about In this case, crossing out would be probably sufficient. Ymblanter (talk) 10:05, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- You didn't answer either questions in my last two replies. I will number and repeat the questions here for the sake of brevity.
- 1: Can you quote from the policy which states that undoing a hasty non-admin closure is "inappropriate"?
- 2: Does this policy stipulate if/how an editor should delete or move another editor's attempted close? IntrepidContributor (talk) 10:11, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- I am sorry but you do not seem to be listening to me and instead you are talking to yourself. Have a nice day. Ymblanter (talk) 11:40, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- You refuse to quote the relevant policy and instead prefer your own "explanation". I have no choice but to file a complaint about your conduct. IntrepidContributor (talk) 13:26, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- You do have a choice - to listen to what I was telling you, or to read the policies. You prefer to complain instead. It is your choice, for which you will bear your responsibility. Good luck. Ymblanter (talk) 13:49, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

- I would not recommend arbitration though, zero chances to succeed and will take a lot of time. Ymblanter (talk) 09:44, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- You still haven't answered my question. Did I say something somewhere you didn't like that prompted your threat of administrator action without a warning? I will file an arbitration complaint because I found both your and Bbb23's conduct in the topic area to be detrimental to editor cooperation and I will seek measures to prevent unwarranted administrator intervention in content disputes. IntrepidContributor (talk) 10:01, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- It is up to you what and where you file, I just explained to you what is going to happen. I am not sure why you are repeating "threat without a warning" even though I explained to you already that what you call "threat" was in fact a warning. Ymblanter (talk) 10:04, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- Let it be noted that prior to filing an arbitration complaint, I requested here an apology and clarification on which policy justified your threat as per my action. IntrepidContributor (talk) 10:07, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- And I provided sufficient explanations, but you are not interested in listening. Well, if you want to learn in a hard way what the arbitration actually is you are welcome to go forward. Ymblanter (talk) 11:41, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Undoing an archive properly
editHi. I haven't read any of the above except for clicking the first diff, so this note is limited to that only. But a note for future reference: whenever you undo an archive and move the closing summary to the bottom as normal comment, which you generally shouldn't do, you need to ensure that it is made clear that it was you who did that. Like so: <other user's comment> → Archive undone and closing summary moved. [your sig]
Thanks. El_C 00:52, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
October 2022
editYou currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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. You have breached 3RR in this quest to add a cn tag to a statement that has thousand of sources. Please self-revert. CMD (talk) 13:23, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- Please don't accuse me of edit warring. It is just a Citation Needed tag. The burden is on the claimant. IntrepidContributor (talk) 13:40, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

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. ~ HAL333 01:56, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- If you add the content again without gaining consensus, I will report you to ANI. Please, let's discuss and follow BRD. You've been blocked for edit warring before, so you should know the drill. ~ HAL333 01:57, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- It takes two to edit war. I added it twice, you deleted it twice. IntrepidContributor (talk) 03:21, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
editHello. 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. Thank you. ~ HAL333 07:21, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- I have closed this as no violation, but only because at the time of your last, piecemeal revert, consensus on the talk page really hadn't been reached. I now believe there is consensus against going into that level of detail ... it seems three editors in the discussion take that position and no one has really taken your side.
So, with that in mind, do not restore that section unless further discussion comes to the opposite conclusion, or (more likely IMO) one of the conditions mentioned in the discussion as warranting more extensive discussion in the article, i.e. Musk getting prosecuted under the Logan Act, comes to pass.

- Most editors in the talk page discussions [7] [8] (including yourself [9]) are in favour of removing this statement. Your reinstatement of the statement, and warning me of edit warring, looks like personalisation of a dispute. IntrepidContributor (talk) 08:07, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
editYou have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
