WP:NOTNEWS

Please read WP:NOTNEWS. Just because something happened and was reported by newspapers does not mean we should add it here. We are an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. And your edit summary suggests some real bias on your part. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

This was one of the latest in a long string of fake hate crimes plaguing the US that the media was complicit in. Edit stays. RBG8877 (talk) 18:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Ah so there it is, your WP:POV behind the edit. Just drop it. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:32, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

No I will not drop it. If I take the Blaze out and add in other (moure neutral sounding sources), will that suffice? Also, do you have any suggestions for wording changes? I await your response. RBG8877 (talk) 18:34, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Have revised to comply with Neutral Point of view requirements (more neutral wording, took the Blaze out). Last two edits were formatting issues (my mistake). Willing to consider any additional wording adjustment, but i stand by and will continue to stand by the inclusion of the story. RBG8877 (talk) 19:19, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

I disengaged from this for a time because nobody is a winner in an edit war. The content is better now without that Blaze url nonsensically tying Brinson's event to Jussie Smollett. Rather than edit war further, I will open a discussion on Talk:Lewis Brinson to determine whether the community believes we should include or not include it. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:42, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Fair enough. RBG8877 (talk) 19:43, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Lewis Brinson 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 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. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:29, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Patient Zero. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Gregg Doyel—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Keith Law (writer). 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 ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 23:45, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
