Deletion discussion about An American Journey: My Life on the Field, In the Air, and On the Air

[edit]

Hello, EdJF,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether An American Journey: My Life on the Field, In the Air, and On the Air should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/An American Journey: My Life on the Field, In the Air, and On the Air .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Green Cardamom (talk) 19:36, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit-warring on Mitch McConnell

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly..

Multiple issues

[edit]

You appear to have just put a notice on the page of User:Snoog on his Talk page. This appears to be his 3rd incident over five days, first with Peter Navarro, then Mitch McConnell as you have documented, and now on another page he is editing. Did you see this on his Talk page? CodexJustin (talk) 16:53, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for alerting me to these issues. I didn't pay any attention to his page other than inserting the warning on edit warring yesterday.EdJF (talk) 18:28, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deceptive edit summary and whitewashing

[edit]

The editor EdJF removed RS content about how Esper directed overseas military commanders not to make any decisions to protect their troops without giving advance notice and receiving approval from the White House, with the goal of not contradicting messaging from the President. The editor stated the text was not supported by the cited source, which is a falsehood.[1] Snooganssnoogans (talk) 12:09, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Scranton, Pennsylvania

[edit]

I reverted your edit at Scranton, Pennsylvania. The article for John Anthony Walker only says he attended school in Scranton. Are you able to find a source supporting that he lived in Scranton "for a significant amount of time", per WP:USCITIES? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:26, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, multiple. Although Walker was born in Washington DC, the extended Walker family was from Scranton which is where John Walker was "raised".[1] BTW, what about the other 22? EdJF (talk) 22:08, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

General sanctions alert for Covid 19

[edit]
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Improving the General Dynamics Wikipedia article

[edit]

Hi EdJF, I noticed you're part of WP:Virginia and like military topics. I'm currently working on the General Dynamics Wikipedia article, there is room for improvement on a few sections. I have a COI with General Dynamics, so I will not edit the article myself but will present conceptual improvements on the talk page. To start, I rewrote the lead paragraph to clarify what the company does. Here is my proposed version. Any thoughts on this? --Chefmikesf (talk) 21:49, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

May 2023

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Patrick Mahomes. 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:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. 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. Your changes have been reverted multiple times now. If you continue there is a strong possibility you will be partially blocked from the article. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 13:44, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:Rick Camp, former Atlanta Braves pitcher.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Rick Camp, former Atlanta Braves pitcher.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
