Talk pages[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your recent talk page comments on Talk:John McGuirk were not added to the bottom of the page. New discussion page messages and topics should always be added to the bottom. Your message may have been moved. In the future you can use the "Add topic" link in the top right. For more details see the talk page guidelines. Also, please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). This automatically adds your signature and a timestamp. Cheers!

May 2021[edit]

Your recent editing history at John McGuirk 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.

I would point out Bastun that you are the only editor who disagrees with the choice so far, and that you failed to give reasons for your reverts initially, and then gave an incorrect reason for them later. Had you given an appropriate reason I would not have reverted your reverts. I would also point out, based on the contents of the Talk page, that you appear to be in the minority view with regards to the usage of far-right to describe Gript.

Well, I only use the one account, so that's true. One account can never add up to more than one, whereas anonymous IPs and multiple WP:SPAs, obviously don't have that disadvantage... Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 15:54, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your insinuation is both false and unnecessarily snide. You made a call, it was the wrong call, people are telling you that, it's not an attack. Perpetualgrasp (talk) 16:05, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno what you're talking about. I've been restoring referenced content. I've added more references. The description will be staying. Nobody has attacked me and I haven't accused anyone of attacking me. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 16:07, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We can continue this on the talk page, where I've just linked multiple mainstream articles about Gript, none of which refer to it as far-right.Perpetualgrasp (talk) 16:15, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation[edit]

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Perpetualgrasp, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

The discussion on that article's talk page is ongoing, and per BRD, you should not revert while that is the case. I invite you to self-revert and continue the discussion. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 12:18, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bastun the change is uncontroversial and you are simply being disruptive. If there's anyone engaged in edit-warring it is yourself. If you continue to do so, when it is clear you are the only dissenting voice and that your dissent is based on what has become a wilful unwillingness to correct use the source you are using, I will lodge a complaint regarding that behavior.

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.
