I love Wikipedia, but...some stuff is just so ridiculous. I'm out. Goodbye, and good luck to you all. 86.20.193.222 (talk) 13:43, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, without commenting on the issues that may have led to your current statement, I would say that many editors appreciated your contributions at Help Desk. So first of all, thank you for that. Apart from that, unless you take it easy at Wikipedia, you'll never find it easy to discuss and reach a consensus with other editors. Wikipedia is not about your investment in any article, it's about having fun interacting with other editors. Once you do that, it kind of grows on you. I hope you decide to continue and contribute to places like the Help Desk. Take care. Lourdes 00:19, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, making melodramatic exits from Wikipedia because of how awful you perceive it to be, doesn't allow you to return and edit in total disregard to the discussions we had 2 months back. You can't do whatever you want just because you think no ones paying attention anymore. Sergecross73 msg me 22:52, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history 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.

1. When there is a clear consensus against something, especially as clear cut as a strongly defined AFD consensus, you may not just go and recreate the article anyways. If you want to pursue the article, start up a WP:DRAFT, and alert the relevant WP:WIKIPROJECT to discuss further, and only recreate the article if there is consensus to do so. That being said, its only been 2 months, and there haven't been any new developments with the subject, so there's no real reason to think that consensus would change.
2. I'd also like to note that the article you keep recreating has worse sourcing than the version that was merged at AFD. I find that baffling that you'd write the article like that, considering you took part in that AFD, and are aware of better sources. A Youtube video, and a Nintendo fansite (Nintendo Wire) is not enough sourcing for an article on Wikipedia.
3. Editing against consensus is disruptive. If you recreate the article again, without a consensus supporting you doing so, you're going to be blocked from editing. Sergecross73 msg me 12:40, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't create that new article, asshole.

Stop abusing your admin-status; you're obviously WP:INVOLVED and shouldn't have used protection to "win" with your version.

Nor should you be using IP-editing to avoid being caught by 3RR.

Shouldn't have been protected for months, either.

That article was created by some good-meaning potential-new-user, who you just fucked over.

You're a shit admin. 86.20.193.222 (talk) 20:38, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It does not matter who wrote it, the problem that is that this IP address keeps making edits that recreate the National Mario Day article against a prior established consensus. And please read all of WP:INVOLVED - it allows for action if any reasonable administrator would have probably come to the same conclusion. This issue is extremely clean-cut:

1. There was a strong and clear cut consensus for the article to be merged at AFD. There were many participants, and the consensus was overwhelmingly towards "merge", and it was formally closed as such.
2. This IP address keeps recreating the article, directly editing against consensus.
3. Despite several notifications and warnings, this IP address has refused to stop this. This IP has refused to start up a new discussion to find a new consensus, per protocol, and has refused to stop recreating the article.
4. Since you have refused to adhere to consensus or protocol willingly, it's being enforced through page protection.

It's as simple and straightforward as that. Any Admin would have reviewed the same situation and come to the same conclusion. Also, I assure you, I was not the IP editor you were arguing with. I do not log out to make edits. Sergecross73 msg me 21:12, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments on overlinkage on my user page, as well as letting me know about the redirect on my user page. That checklist is incredibly helpful, I appreciate the help. I posted here because I can't find a way to ping an IP user, do you happen to know how that might be done? Thanks again! Gabriel syme (talk) 19:08, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You can't ping an IP user, but no worries. Ping is a new thing; IP still see talk page notifications (if they look). Cheers. 86.20.193.222 (talk) 19:16, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like you to assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not do on Wikipedia:Help desk. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Central · Python ✉ 17:57, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
