==Admonishment and Chastening==

I've been rather chastened by some of the recent admonishments I've received. You can only kick a dog (or Sea Lion, as it were) so much. Henceforth, I will be taking an extended wikibreak. --Marcos12 (talk) 04:40, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also 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 useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:54, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Welcome o yet another new user who is not "Pro" or "Anti" Gamergate, but rather pro-wikipedia, and would like to see the article represent wikipedia accurately

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed, 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 Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you 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.

Warning: Misplaced Pages:1RR restriction

The Gamergate controversy article is currently under a Misplaced Pages:1RR restriction. Do not make more than one revert per day or you will be subject to blocking or other sanction. Gamaliel (talk) 21:30, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Gamergate 1RR

You latest edit may be in violation of Gamergate's 1RR restriction. I suggest you self revert and either leave it to other editors or contribute your suggestion to the talk page instead. —EncyclopediaBob (talk) 17:55, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

I do not believe it is in violation as I made only one revert. Where would I find the specifics regarding this rule as applied to the GG article? Marcos12 (talk) 19:06, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Your Statement On AN/I

Best not to accuse other editors of being disruptive or bellicose without providing diffs, otherwise it might be seen as just a personal attack. See WP:ASPERSIONS and WP:NPA. — Strongjam (talk) 19:51, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

OK thank you for the heads-up. I will make the necessary changes. Marcos12 (talk) 19:53, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

edit war against consensus

please revert yourself, you do not have consensus for this claim, and as per talk, the source clearly do not support it. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 13:45, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Tried to revert, but received a message saying "unable to undo, I must do so manually". At this point, it is impossible as the sentence ha changed so much from what I originally edited. Please let me know what I need to do.. Marcos12 (talk) 18:36, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'll take care of it manually. I think I'm clear of my 1RR by now... — Strongjam (talk) 18:40, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Please read Misplaced Pages:3RR & Misplaced Pages:1RR carefully. I'm afraid if you keep making edits that re-add things that have been removed, you're going to run afoul of 1RR. ForbiddenRocky (talk) 00:25, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Does the 1RR rule include self-reverts? The link does not specify. If so, I will be careful not to self-revert in the future. In a couple cases I was asked to self-revert by another editor, so I went ahead and did so. I was unaware this counted toward the 1RR rule. Thank you for the heads-up. Marcos12 (talk) 00:50, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Self reverts don't count. Any action that undoes another editors edit is a revert. I'm not 100% sure what you're revert count is up to, I'm not really interested in counting. Just something to be aware of. — Strongjam (talk) 01:00, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

The edit I asked you to undo counts as 2 reverts usually; it undid two other edits. ForbiddenRocky (talk) 01:44, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Also, you're up to 3 or 4 reverts today. Self-reverts don't count. ForbiddenRocky (talk) 01:44, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Hey, Marcos12! Unfortunately, think I've gotta report you to Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement, since you made another revert after the above people contacted you and are therefore still violating the 1RR discretionary sanctions requested by that case. For future reference, even a 'partial' revert counts as a revert -- eg. if you remove the word 'some' three times in an edit war over a piece of text, that counts as three reverts, even if you're rewording it so that it doesn't quite have the same text as it did before. See WP:3RR for details! And I know it suuuuucks to feel like you have consensus behind you and still get your edits reverted, but people can legitimately disagree on what constitutes consensus or what a consensus is, so reverts that you believe are enforcing a consensus still count. --Aquillion (talk) 05:25, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement block

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the ] or ]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:14, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted a procedure instructing administrators as follows: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" ). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, as you did at Talk:Violet Blue, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. I remain a trouser-fouling bastard. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 16:44, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 17:32, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

@NorthBySouthBaranof: I will attempt to take a step back. I will also agree not to take this to arbitration, provided I can have the same agreement from you. I realize we are on separate sides of an argument, but that is no reason for incivility. I apologize if your perception was that my tone made you uncomfortable or frightened. Let's attempt to bury this, yes?

It Looks Like I Will No Longer Be Allowed to Edit Misplaced Pages Forever.
