Hello, I'm Peaceray. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Neoliberalism, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Electoral college, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 06:21, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Important Notice

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.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Clinton Body Count. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:03, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Indeed! That very non-neutral tilting to give more weight to a baseless and malicious conspiracy theory is so wrong. See my comment on the talk page. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 20:10, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

The referenced edits have been cited using sources already present on the cite, which were previously considered RS, which does not add information not present in the sources. Additionally, the source added is a reference to a Washington Post article. The facts extracted from the article consist primarily of investigative findings and testimony on the part of the perpetrator. The article referenced is used primarily as a summary of information provided over a complex and iterative series of official releases and statements pertaining to a decades old police investigation, and thus these primary sources are infeasible to cite directly in any coherent way. The Washington Post is of sufficient repute as to have no reason to suspect they have materially altered fact, quotations, or events as described in the corpus of official releases that the article summarizes.

@Valjean @Muboshgu --Azeranth (talk) 21:37, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Clinton Body Count 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; 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. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:48, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

By that standard you should keep your hands off the revert button as well and make detailed and explained item by item changes of precisely what about the article that you find to be an issue, and to change those items one at a time because the body in which they occur is not completely unsalvagable.

Its almost like I explained that this is both convention and best practice is in my explanation for the edit. Also, your original reversion did not feature an explanation. You are the one in violation of policy at the moment. Azeranth (talk) 21:53, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

No, that's not how this works. You have tried to insert three edits into the article today. Another attempt will be a brightline WP:3RR violation. Exemptions to 3RR includes "Removing contentious material that is libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced according to Wikipedia's biographies of living persons (BLP)", which this certainly is. Another attempt and you're blocked. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:57, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

You yourself said it wasn't a BLP violation on the talk page though so.... Azeranth (talk) 22:26, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

BLP also applies to talk pages. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 05:58, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Well good thing its been well established to not be a violation of BLP, including byu the admission of the person who orignally lodged the BLP complaint.
