Hi; Two problems

Problem 1

Hi. They let you engage in paid for editing? That's interesting. Are you being paid to edit the Sasson article?

Please revert yourself here.

Your edit put back in place the edits by an editor who has now been reverted by a series of editors, including an admin. That editor is consistently deleting RS supported material. Deleting RS refs. And adding language he concocts.

You're not just reverting my edit -- calling it vandalism, even though it is appropriate. But reverting the other editors, including admin Material Scientist, who are trying to keep this vandal from vandalizing the page.

See here for example.

If you want me to get admins such as Material Scientist involved (again), let me know. Otherwise, please look at the history and self-revert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:E016:A700:A87C:4133:5F08:F9B4 (talk) 20:18, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Problem 2

Furthermore - you are making a mistake . The material you deleted is all true and supported properly by footnotes to mainstream media. Please stop deleting footnoted material. You cant delete it because you dont like the format of the footnotes. That is not acceptable. If you dont understand, we can involve the editor who just edited that page who also looks to be an administator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:E016:A700:A87C:4133:5F08:F9B4 (talk) 20:23, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

• You responded on my page - "ethanbas:I'm not being paid to edit the Sasson article. I reverted your edits only because you don't know how to reuse citations correctly. The content you were putting on was fine. I'm not going to waste my time to refix the links, which i did, before you messed it up again. What you're writing is all correct. Just learn how to reuse citations correctly please, thanks."

You are wrong. There is nothing in wikipedia procedures that allows you to delete material you admit is accurate, because you do not like the way the form of the citations looks. Nothing. At all. Ask an administrator.

There are rules against deleting material that is accurate and that has proper citations. That is what you are doing. Not good. 2604:2000:E016:A700:A87C:4133:5F08:F9B4 (talk) 21:19, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Easterlin hypothesis

I'm afraid this article does not qualify for speedy deletion. An article can only be speedily deleted if it meets a very narrow range of criteria, you can read them here. Notability is not one of them. If you want to get an article deleted on notability grounds then you need to use the proposed deletion or articles for deletion processes.

Misplaced Pages and copyright

Hello Ethanbas, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. All or some of your addition(s) to Form 1099-OID has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Misplaced Pages:Copyrights. You may also want to review Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Misplaced Pages:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:27, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Ways to improve Dysejaculation

Hi, I'm Crystallizedcarbon. Ethanbas, thanks for creating Dysejaculation!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add references from independent reliable sources to the article to meet our verifiability and notablility requirements.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 19:27, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contribution, but your text is very short, unsourced, you don't explain why the person is notable. No interwiki.Xx236 (talk) 06:37, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

The text looks strange, please correct.Xx236 (talk) 06:58, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Trivial edits

Hi, I noticed that you made an edit to E. O. Wilson where many of the paragraphs changed only by (undesirably) removing a space at the end (etc). This wastes editorial time as we check that ... nothing significant has happened. Would be really grateful if you'd abstain from this! Thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:31, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

I changed a typo (1962->1952), and fixing the double spacing issue is a completely ok edit. Thanks for making Misplaced Pages a place I keep coming back to by reminding me of how hilariously stuck up Wikipedians are :) Ethanbas (talk) 08:43, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

October 2016

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Misplaced Pages's guidelines for new pages, so it will be removed shortly (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you.Template:Z43 Largoplazo (talk) 03:24, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at George H. W. Bush. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Largoplazo (talk) 04:10, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey, I was just testing Misplaced Pages's response to vandalism of the sort. I reverted all of my nonconstructive edits within half a minute of performing them. Ethanbas (talk) 04:19, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Jane Street Capital. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. -- Patar knight - /_{contributions} 01:27, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

I didn't attack anyone personally on the Jane Street Capital article. Ethanbas (talk) 02:47, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

You called Haeinous a "dimwit, low iq amateur" in this edit. Edit summaries such as "fuck off piece of shit" and "fuck off shill" , are inapporpirate, even if likely justified in the last two diffs. You can revert and edit without insulting other editors. If you cannot, there is a chance you'll be blocked per our no personal attacks policy. Thanks, ---- Patar knight - /_{contributions} 03:33, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

To add to Patar knight's remark above, regardless of whether or not you consider those edit summaries to be personal attacks, it would be hard to argue that they are not in breach of WP:CIV:

Stated simply, editors should always treat each other with consideration and respect... Misplaced Pages's civility expectations apply to all editors during all interactions on Misplaced Pages, including discussions at user and article talk pages, in edit summaries and in any other discussion with or about fellow Wikipedians.

zazpot (talk) 03:44, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

on Jane Street, it was a general insult against Misplaced Pages editors. I never mentioned specifically Haeinous, and I never searched up who made that edit (this is the first time I've ever seen his/her name). my insult (which was not against anyone in specific) was made in good faith, fairly lighthearted I thought. as for those other insults, I will refrain in the future from writing things like that, although all three of them "deserved" it so to speak (repeated vandalism on Inglemoor High School, and literal shilling on the other pages, as you pointed out). why so serious guys, I was having a bit of fun :P Ethanbas (talk) 03:49, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Fun for you, maybe. For me, as a Misplaced Pages editor, even though I wasn't responsible for any of the edits you criticised, reading the edit comments of yours that Patar knight highlighted was definitely not fun at all. As for the vandalism on the Inglemoor High School and Form 1099 articles: in general, if you want to respond to vandalism more appropriately, please start by following the guide for that. Thanks. zazpot (talk) 04:02, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Headsplitting

The article Headsplitting has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Procedure does not appear in reliable sources. Only sources that can be found are non-RS. It does not meet Misplaced Pages's standards for inclusion.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A page you created has been nominated for deletion as an attack page, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Misplaced Pages, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:13, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

This is not an attack page, this is a page about an ongoing event. Feel free to change the name if you feel it's inappropriate; actually I'll go ahead and change the name now. Ethanbas (talk) 05:16, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with PissGate. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Vote-a-rama

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Vote-a-rama requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://politicaldictionary.com/words/vote-a-rama/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jonah Ostroff

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jonah Ostroff requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Timeline of protests during Donald Trump's presidency. First, thank you for your contribution; Misplaced Pages relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Protests against Donald Trump#Protests during Trump's presidency, 2017 Women's March and List of 2017 Women's March locations. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Misplaced Pages. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Protests against Donald Trump#Protests during Trump's presidency, 2017 Women's March and List of 2017 Women's March locations – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Your contributed article, Penile strangulation

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Penile strangulation. First, thank you for your contribution; Misplaced Pages relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Penile injury. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Misplaced Pages. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Penile injury – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Misplaced Pages looks forward to your future contributions. JamesG5 (talk) 03:06, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Creating multiple no content articles

RE your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Genital pain, first of all taking sections of content from existing pages, pasting all of that content to a new page and declaring it noteworthy on its own will require a fair degree of justification, just as was noted to you in several political articles. Second, if you're going to work on a series of articles do drafts & finish them before posting, or better yet use AfD so they can be reviewed for suitability. Creating a half dozen mostly empty articles full of "see also" will go nowhere. Also, creating articles that duplicate existing content and are basically just reposts of other lists simply adds pages and confusion without value. JamesG5 (talk) 03:26, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

RE your comment at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Timeline of the presidency of George W. Bush, "Hey, these stubs are almost always notable, and I create them because either I plan to improve them in the future, or as a notice for Misplaced Pages editors that an article should be created," like I said that is NOT how Misplaced Pages works. Creating a basically empty article full of redirects & copied lists from other existing pages is a straight up Speedy deletion category. You don't put other editors on notice to do something by creating empty, useless, cluttering articles, either. If you feel an article should exist use WP:AFC or the Draft space and create the article. Post it when it's something complete, not a rough sketch. JamesG5 (talk) 01:47, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

JamesG5, see WP:ARTN and WP:NEXIST. Notability decides what warrants a separate article, and notability does not depend on the current state of a page. Riceissa (talk) 02:34, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Riceissa I didn't say anything about notability. I said that creating a basically empty page, especially creating an entire set or series of them on a topic, in some cases by breaking existing redirects, and filling them with copy/paste identical info from existing articles is not a good process, it leads to clutter and abandoned useless pages. Ditto for creating a basically empty stub that adds nothing to existing articles with no plans other than hoping someone else comes along and does something with it. The only reason I used the word "noteworthy" was in regards to literally duplicating a section of an existing page and breaking a redirect to post it and then saying "but it's noteworthy" without showing it to be so. This is not a content farm. JamesG5 (talk) 02:51, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Can you justify that the process "leads to clutter and abandoned useless pages"? Jim O'Neill (investor) and Timeline of protests against Donald Trump were both started as stubs by Ethanbas and are anything but "abandoned useless". Riceissa (talk) 03:17, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Timeline of the presidency of George W.

Your comments at AfD

With all due respect, it should not fall on me to move your comments to the appropriate setting. Add your comments to the bottom, and I shan't revert again.--Nevé–selbert 12:56, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion#Behavior "Do not remove or modify other people's comments even if you believe them to be in bad faith" "It is acceptable to correct the formatting in order to retain consistency with the bulleted indentation" You do *not* remove the comments of other people just because you don't like how they're structured. You *are* allowed to restructure the comments. You like invoking Misplaced Pages's policies and "essays", but you clearly don't know them all that well! -Ethanbas (talk) 20:07, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Your misuse of Twinkle

Ouch! You've used a template to send a message to an experienced editor. Please review the essay Misplaced Pages:Don't template the regulars or maybe listen to a little advice. Doesn't this feel cold, impersonal, and canned? It's meant in good humour. Best wishes. --Nevé–selbert 12:07, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

How would I know you're a regular editor when you're not acting like one? Ethanbas (talk) 16:21, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Protests against Barack Obama

The article Protests against Barack Obama has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This page was created after the Trump inauguration protests, but it is missing any valid sources and seems to be a hoax implying, that such protests occur during many presidencies. These claims are obviously invented - the article itself states that the climate-protests (as well as the Libya protests) are not against Obama himself, but against his policy. The Tea Party protests already have an extra Misplaced Pages article, therefore there is no need for this one.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Presidency timelines

Are you seriously going to create half-empty timelines for every single president, just for the sake of doing so? You need to slow down.--Nevé–selbert 17:28, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Modern presidents are done. Eventually though, that's the idea. How about you go contribute to Misplaced Pages for once? Or maybe just go bug editors on another part of Misplaced Pages. Ethanbas (talk) 17:31, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Ethan, as has been pointed out before, just throwing up half done projects is an issue. More so since you're being paid to create pages here. Misplaced Pages is not intended to be Buzzfeed. It may be good for you to create listicles and clickbait articles on genital issues, but it's not what this site is intended to be used for. JamesG5 (talk) 17:53, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Some of the articles I create get deleted, and that's fine; that's what an AfD is for. Other articles of mine that get AfD'd don't get deleted. On Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Timeline of the presidency of George W. Bush, you can see there is a broad consensus for keeping that article, and for creating other presidential timelines, which is why I'm creating other presidential timelines. Also, to be clear, I'm not getting paid to create these articles; Vote pairing in the United States presidential election, 2016 was the last time I got paid to create an article. -Ethanbas (talk) 18:05, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Yes, there is consensus to keep that one, but as noted in other discussions the issue is that constantly throwing stuff up just to see if it will stick, or putting up half finished articles, especially of content copied from elsewhere that's basically just a list, and "hoping" (your words) another editor will finish it will result in a lot more speedies & AfDs and work for the admins. Why not focus instead on making one complete quality article at a time and finishing it instead of spamming out multiple partials? JamesG5 (talk) 18:32, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Sure, I realized that for the presidential timelines, I should at the very minimum put a few items for each year of the president. I don't immediately create a complete article because that's hard work that might be lost due to an AfD! Creating a complete article would increase the chance of survival under an AfD, but creating a complete timeline is like 100 times more work than just starting a basic one. And, for the presidential timeline articles, I didn't copy content from elsewhere on Misplaced Pages. Stop being so grumpy! :) -Ethanbas (talk) 18:40, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

While I applaud your efforts, I would like to suggest that you not create any more presidency TLs until the ones you've recently created are fleshed-out more (much more, with numerous entries in each year plus images). I too (like JamesG5) would rather that you focus on making the articles you've already started into quality articles, instead of churning out additional mostly empty stubs. Cheers. Drdpw (talk) 20:42, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Sure, see User:Ethanbas/Timeline of the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower. I won't make any new presidential timelines for now. -Ethanbas (talk) 20:51, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Genital pain

I saw the AfD about your article on genital pain. How are the drafts coming along for that page and the three more specific ones? Is there anything I can do to help? I agree with your aim for the set of articles. I don't have any expertise on the subject but would be happy to try making a version of genital pain that duplicates less content and gives some structure that other editors could contribute too (e.g. an intro, a stub section on differential diagnosis, some verbiage around the links to more specific pages); I wouldn't want to interfere with the work you're doing though, so let me know. Mortee (talk) 19:39, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Mortee, thanks for supporting the existence of those (or at least some of those) articles, namely genital pain, penile strangulation, vaginal pain, and penile pain (I think). I've been pretty busy with other work on Misplaced Pages (namely political US president articles), and I'm busy with non-Misplaced Pages life as well, so I won't have time to work on these genital pain articles anytime soon. Feel free to do whatever you want with the articles! I think the easiest ones to work on so that they are kept are penile pain and genital pain (vaginal pain is harder to add content to, and penile strangulation doesn't have as much to add to it as I thought it would). Do whatever you want! I have copies of the current articles saved up in my user space, so if you don't want to work on any of them now and they probably get deleted, that's fine. Thanks for not being a deletionist! -Ethanbas 21:06, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Actually, so penile strangulation got remerged onto the main penile injury (I supported that merge), so penile strangulation isn't a problem anymore. Ethanbas 21:54, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I've added this to my to do list. I think you have the right idea with these articles, expanding the topics to cover more than just causes. I probably won't get to them soon and it looks like the AfD is going to result in these going back to being redirects, but hopefully, eventually, we or others can build this out. Also, "penile strangulation isn't a problem anymore" is good news! Haha :) Mortee (talk) 19:50, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Edit war warning

Your recent editing history at Laura and John Arnold Foundation‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
