User talk:Eruditescholar/2017a

January 2017

Your recent editing history at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Thanks, but I am well aware of this! Eruditescholar (talk) 03:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Let's reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement!

Hi Eruditescholar, please allow me to get in touch with you because you have stated sympathy with environmental causes on your user page. I would like to invite you to check out the Environmental impact project page on Meta, where I am trying to create some momentum to reduce the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. My first goal is to have all the Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy. Maybe you could show your support for this project as well by adding your signature? Thank you, --Gnom (talk) 19:38, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Olumide Oworu

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Olumide Oworu, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:WikiProject Nigeria/Lagos

A tag has been placed on Template:WikiProject Nigeria/Lagos requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hello! I was wondering what the purpose of the {{WikiProject Nigeria/Lagos}} template is? It seems to be an exact copy of {{WikiProject Nigeria}}, but isn't used anywhere. Kaldari (talk) 06:28, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

ANI again

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. TM 23:32, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Note

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

--NeilN ^{talk to me} 03:03, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Given you were explicitly warned here about the behavior you yet again returned to, you are now facing a block to stop this repeated disruption. I am willing to forgo blocking you if you agree to an indefinite topic ban (appealable in six months) from adding ethnicity or ethnicity categories to BLP's. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 03:14, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Please archive some of this talk page as its length is causing the above message not to show up. Also, are you willing to agree to a topic ban? --NeilN ^{talk to me} 00:37, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

It seems TM is about to succeed in using Wikipedia's policies to suppress more information already revealed by some of my edits. I am only concerned about the subsequent article disruptions on his part that this topic ban might cause. You haven't given me any better option but to proceed with the topic ban, so you may go ahead with it. Eruditescholar (talk) 17:04, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Per your agreement, you are indefinitely topic banned from adding ethnicity or ethnicity categories to BLP's. This topic ban may be appealed in six months at the administrators' noticeboard. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:29, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

A Question

I want to ask you about the article "List of countries by the number of billionaires", Ziyd al manaseer is a Jordanian billionaire with Russian citizenship. Should I count him as Russian billionaire or as Jordanian billionaire?? Thanks--Shorouq★The★Super★ninja2 (talk) 14:20, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Shorouq★The★Super★ninja2. I've not done a profile search of this billionaire in question because I am currently offline. You might want to google him yourself and find reliable sources that state his country of origin. You should also consider the country of the primary source of his wealth. In my opinion these two criteria should be the most important in categorizing his nationality as a billionaire. If his Russian citizenship was acquired and not automatic, then you might also consider if he got the status before he became a billionaire or afterwards.

Hey man, how come you got ripped off your user rights? —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 13:37, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

What's up? I'm not sure what you mean; I presume you are alluding to the last ANI incident that involved me, right? Eruditescholar (talk) 15:31, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Naah, you used to have the autopatrol user right, this brings up the info that you are a common extended confirmed user. And I think with your contributions over the years, you deserve better. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 07:46, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
