Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed 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 refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at David Ross (businessman). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did at David Ross (businessman), you may be blocked from editing. The Original Bob (talk) 11:07, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Oh dear, I was right, you were wrong, has wiki become totalitarian?

David Ross

I strongly suggest you refrain from disruptively editing this article or you will be blocked again - you do NOT own this article and you do not get the final say on what goes in it, I am a much more experienced editor than you and you seem to ONLY edit this article. Bleaney (talk) 16:23, 6 January 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.

Gosh I am so scared!

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Misplaced Pages about living (or recently deceased) persons. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:59, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Do not make unfounded accusations. It appears I am accurate, once again!!!

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors. 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 be blocked from editing. 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. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:17, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Following your use of an IP address to continue the edit war, I have extended your block for 48 hours. Nyttend (talk) 13:05, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

You have blocked the wrong person, that is my IP address. (Saskia2309 (talk) 20:05, 7 January 2015 (UTC))

Given Saskia's comment, I have unblocked you. I apologise for my confusion and consequent extension of your block. Nyttend (talk) 02:28, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Nyttend, I do know Saskia and appreciate the fact that she cleared things up. However it is clear that even when I make a fully referenced edit to this article it is removed almost straight away by somebody, and if I try to revert it I am banned. So I will retire from the battle for a while as I am obviously upsetting a lot of people. It will be a sad day if Misplaced Pages articles become scrubbed, sanitised profiles of living individuals. I think the public deserve to know that some individuals are not the Angels their PR company portray. (Andcarr (talk) 03:45, 8 January 2015 (UTC))

Will editing disputes mean the end for Misplaced Pages?

The following reference is an article from SBS which explains why editors are leaving Misplaced Pages. Some of the administrators that are so keen on blocking my comments should give it a read.(Andcarr (talk) 14:49, 8 January 2015 (UTC))

That article has been discussed pretty extensively in its original form at Slate. You should read that and the comments section which is attached to it. Then you'll realise just how crass your note above actually is: the article is flawed in many respects and was written by someone who was involved in a big, high-profile dispute here. - Sitush (talk) 17:34, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

It is clear that Sitush is upset, so much so that he has completely rewritten the article on David Ross showing him in a much more favourable light. This kind of action means Misplaced Pages is losing its value as an information source. This makes editing pointless so I am leaving Misplaced Pages. Enjoy yourselves.(Andcarr (talk) 21:24, 8 January 2015 (UTC))

I thought you were leaving but it seems you have changed your mind. That's fine but please do familiarise yourself with how things are done here. For example, WP:RS and WP:V. Not to forget WP:NPOV, of course. - Sitush (talk) 09:21, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, as you did at David Ross (businessman), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Sitush (talk) 09:35, 24 January 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. - Sitush (talk) 09:46, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, as you did at David Ross (businessman), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. You have had warnings from the target of your abuse, and now you have one from me - a completely uninvolved editor. If you continue with your personal attacks, you are almost certain to have your account blocked. Squinge (talk) 09:50, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

I've also now had a look over the content dispute at David Ross (businessman), and you have clearly been adding negative material to a biographical article without providing a reliable source for it. Even if something is true, and even if you personally know for certain that it is true, if it's negative then it can not go in without a proper source. You were also removing material that was properly sourced, without a proper explanation and without consensus. I suggest you have a read of the policy pages you have already had pointed out to you, especially Misplaced Pages's WP:BLP policy, before you make any more article edits. Squinge (talk) 09:56, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

I REPEAT FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME! I WISH TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST SITUSH AND HIS CRONIES. HIS REFERENCES ARE NO MORE ACCURATE THAN MINE AND LARGELY BASED ON PRESS RELEASES. PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL HOW I CAN MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT? (Andcarr (talk) 10:01, 24 January 2015 (UTC))

I have replied to the same question you asked on my talk page. But your first step should be to stop making personal attacks on other editors like calling them wikiwankers! Squinge (talk) 10:08, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

STILL EVADING THE QUESTION OF HOW TO MAKE a complaint against members of WIKIPEDIA establishment SITUSH.!(Andcarr (talk) 10:24, 24 January 2015 (UTC))

I answered your question at 10:06 on my talk page immediately after you shouted it at me there!!! Squinge (talk) 10:28, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

( please give me a postal address where I can make a formal complaint about the behaviour on the David Ross entry.(Andcarr (talk) 10:35, 24 January 2015 (UTC))

I have no idea of any postal address, sorry. Squinge (talk) 10:42, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

There you go boys and girls the administrators do not know their site postal address. Lame. (Andcarr (talk) 10:51, 24 January 2015 (UTC))

Please read Misplaced Pages:Contact_us, which is shown at the bottom of the page. Please also note that I am not an administrator and neither is Squinge. - Sitush (talk) 10:54, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
