User talk:William D. Money

Hi, I was the one wanting to take off the Skip Bayless section about personal fitness. I don't see why it's so important that it needs an entire section, it can be mentioned that he is a fitness enthusiast, but it's just not that important, anyways, I won't delete or change it unless I see other people feel the same way, considering Skip Bayless doesn't have the most discussed wikipedia page, that probably won't happen.

Help me!

Why am I not receiving email notifications on edits made to an entry on which I have checked the box, Watch this page?

Please help me with...

"Watch this page" adds the page to your watchlist on Wikipedia. You won't get emails about changes to pages on your watchlist (some of us have thousands of pages on there, and would received many thousands of emails every day if this were the case) but you can view changes that have been made using the Watchlist link in the top right of your screen.

Help me!

Why do I receive some email notifications regarding changes on pages on my Watch list and not on other changes?

Please help me with...

You can set your email preferences at Special:Preferences. Unfortunately I can't see yours so I don't know how you have them set up, but if you look through the settings there you should be able to see what circumstances on Wikipedia will result in an email. Yunshui ^雲_水 13:55, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Skip Bayless

Hi, you are currently engaged in an edit war on Skip Bayless. The edits you have reversed provide a clear rationale for deleting content on the page. These are not "malicious edits." Moreover, you have not discussed the content that you seek to include on the talk page. Please discuss your views on the talk page or post on a user's page. thanks! --JumpLike23 (talk) 17:24, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

WP:AN/I notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:57, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring policy

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Skip Bayless. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

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; 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. -- Diannaa (talk) 19:06, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Edit warring

Please read the policy page linked in the title of this section. Additionally, read WP:Consensus and WP:Bold, revert, discuss. Understanding these policies and conventions are essential to your continuing to being able to edit here. You should not edit the article mainspace at Skip Bayless without going to the article's talk page to determine consensus regarding article content. I almost blocked your account for stating that you would continue to revert on that article but I've decided that it may be possible you do not understand the disruption you are causing. You may yet be blocked by another administrator as you have continued to demonstrate an extreme resistance to editing collaboratively. Please understand that by not changing your present course you are jeopardizing your editing privilege. Tiderolls 19:17, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Mr Money. Inoticed that this entry is the only Wikipedia article that you have edited. This leads me to believe that you may have a personal or professional interest in the content of the article, that is, you may have a conflict of interest, and should not be editing the article at all.

While you ascribe other editors' intention in cleaning up this article as malicious, it looks like ordinary clean-up to me, removing material that does not meet our standards for sourcing and verifiability. The people who are reverting your addition are ordinary Wikipedians with many years experience on the site who participate in editing a wide variety of articles, and some of them are administrators. While I can't speak directly as to their motives for editing this particular article, the chances that they are behaving maliciously are vanishingly small.

Not everything is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia; even the most famous athletes do not have discussion of their elementary school athletic careers. Please use the article talk page to discuss what (if any) of your content warrants inclusion in the article. Please note that if you re-add it again you will surely be blocked for edit warring. -- Diannaa (talk) 19:58, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Reply to your message

After you read the pages I've linked above we may discuss any clarification that may be required. What you need to recognize, and quickly, is that you have already engaged in edit warring. Your account is subject to blocking now; however, blocking accounts is not our first priority. Writing content is our first priority. You must add content in compliance with Wikipedia policy and convention. To repeatedly edit against these policies is disruptive and will be stopped. Again, do not edit the article, read the policies as directed and begin discussion on the article talk page. If you have questions regarding the policies, leave a message here. I am watch listing this page. Tiderolls

• One point of clarification; administrators do not referee content. My approval of your content would simply be one editor's support and would not mitigate your edit warring. That's the reason I am directing you to the article talk page. You will need to establish consensus there for what content ends up in the article. Tiderolls 20:23, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

The article talk page you are seeking is found at Talk:Skip Bayless. There is a link to the talk page on the main article page; directly above the article title is a tab marked "Talk". Let me know if my directions are insufficient. Tiderolls 20:50, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 20:26, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
