Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Talk:Sexism. The Arbitration Committee has permitted Misplaced Pages administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on any editor editing this page or associated pages.

Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process. NeilN 01:53, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

I have removed your condescending trolling. Please stick to commenting on content. --NeilN 01:55, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Fine. Look at my reply on talk page. Scaravich105nj (talk) 01:56, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

You complain about sourcing and yet you do this? Come on. --NeilN 02:05, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Two wrongs don't make a right. Scaravich105nj (talk) 02:07, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

This edit summary in particular was sexist and inappropriate. Don't do it again. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 02:53, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Wikiisawesome. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Emissions trading seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. wia (talk) 00:52, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Someone either has dirt in their eye, or needs a new pair of glasses. -_- Scaravich105nj (talk) 00:55, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Someone needs to read their user page again and stop with edits like this. --NeilN 01:48, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Someone needs to stop babysitting me and watching my edits like I'm some vandal who can't be trusted. Scaravich105nj (talk) 01:49, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Judging from your past contributions, your edits need to be watched. I'm sure I'm not the only one gives them a once over. --NeilN 01:51, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Go ahead and check my two most recent edits, Neil. You'll see their completely objective. Scaravich105nj (talk) 02:01, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

regarding how you interact with other users

After that AN thread I took a look at some of your interactions with other users. Some of it is very troubling, to the point where I felt obligated to apologize on behalf of Misplaced Pages to a user that you basically screamed at for making an edit that was apparently simply a mistake. I would offfer the following pointers:

• Wikipedians should always assume good faith unless and until there is evidence to the contrary. What could be vandalism could also just be ingnorance, or an accident. We assume new users who make inaccurate or problematic edits simply don't know how things work here unless they are obviously being malicious, like adding random obscenities or insults to article content.
• Even in cases of obvious vandalism it is never acceptable (or helpful) to insult the vandals, call them names, tell them you "fucking hate vandals" etc. That sort of incivility always makes things worse, it never helps.
• Many users use automated tools such as WP:TWINKLE to fight vandalism and warn vandals. You can quickly remove vandalism or other problematic and it offers a wide array of templated warnings, cautions, and notices, allowing you to select the one that is most appropriate for the specifc situation and leaving a clear, concise message that cites whatever Misplaced Pages policies or guidelines that may be relevant. It saves time and prevents misunderstandings, and of course all the notices are worded in a civil but firm manner.

Just some free advice to take or leave as you please. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:36, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

I'll take it, since I'm not about to get blocked (I know some people are watching my edits as of now). Scaravich105nj (talk) 17:41, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

April 2015

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Ted Cruz. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges.

Please review the WP:BRD process. Your addition of the McCain material was the Bold edit. It was Reverted. And you have opened a Discussion. But that does not allow you to do a repeated addition of the material. We edit through discussion and consensus. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 00:49, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Steve Symms, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Setting up the paragraph, and adding the editorial "dismal/terrible" description as you did is improper. Symms has had many votes on numerous topics, but we don't go about picking particular ones to make a point or express an opinion even if the votes are reported on by reliable sources. – S. Rich (talk) 01:05, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Champagne, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Small point: This edit added new material, so it was not a minor edit. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 01:40, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

• I thought after we talked yesterday that you understood the problemand would reign yourself in, so I was quite disappointed to log in today and find that you had continued throwing out charming phrases such as "get the goddamn chip off your shoulder," "I'm watching your ass" and the real deal breaker "CHILL OUT MY NIGGA". And that's not even all of, just since yesterday. You apparently either don't understand the problem, are unable to control yourself, or just don't care. I don't know which it is and it doesn't really matter.

What is a shame here is that I believe you are trying to improve Misplaced Pages, but the way you go about it in your interactions with other users (not just those comments but battleground behavior and edit warring) is simply not acceptable. Unless and until you show a clear understanding of that and a sincere willingness to change you will need to remain blocked. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:42, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

S. Rich and Beeblebrox, take note that others and I had been keeping an eye on this account since it showed up. In addition to what NeilN stated in the #April 2015 section above about watching this account, see this section where I've suspected the account as being a WP:Sockpuppet. Even if not a WP:Sockpuppet of Cali11298, I'm certain that the Scaravich105nj account is a WP:Sockpuppet. Additionally, the account's words of "my nigga" remind me of 236benderavenue (talk · contribs), an account that showed up to revert me after making a few edits; see this link. 236benderavenue is another relatively new account that I'm certain is not being operated by a new Misplaced Pages editor. But, for now, I will refrain from referring to the 236benderavenue account as a WP:Sockpuppet. Also, keep in mind that the Cali11298 WP:Sockpuppets deny that they are WP:Sockpuppets, no matter what, as seen in this recent case. Flyer22 (talk) 23:35, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
