August 2021[edit]

Information icon Thank you for contributing to the article Miss Earth 2021. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:25, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If it's not clear from the note above, a person's social media account is not an independent, reliable source for claims they won a pageant. You have added this twice now [1][2]. Please stop. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:26, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing[edit]

You have been notified about adding unreferenced material in 2021 pageants. Now you are continuing to do it at Miss Earth 2022 [3]. This is disruptive editing and can result in a block. Please stop. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:30, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Are you reading your talkpage? You added unreferenced material again at Miss Earth 2022. Please stop. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

August 2022[edit]

Information icon Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Miss Earth 2022, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:30, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your editing at Miss World 2022[edit]

Your recent edits at Miss World 2022 continue to be disruptive. You have added sources that do not verify the claims/facts added to the article [4], and self-published sources that may not be used [5]. Please read the WP:RS guidelines before continuing. ☆ Bri (talk) 13:57, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stop[edit]

You need to address the concerns about your sloppy editing. If you don't, you will be blocked from editing at all. You are creating a lot of work that others must police and clean up after. This isn't acceptable. Please reply before you edit further. Dennis Brown - 22:58, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Dennis Brown - 01:34, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is your last warning: stop using unreliable sources and causing disruption. You need to reply. Otherwise, I will block you for an indefinite period of time. Again, I won't warn you again. Your editing is causing more problems than it is solving, even if you don't mean it to. Dennis Brown - 21:56, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

September 2022[edit]

Stop icon
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy, as you did at Miss Earth 2022.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:02, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • See my talk page, I was on my way to block for the exact same reason, you just beat me by a few hours. I believe that Ian was given ample opportunity to discuss and learn. He should read WP:COMMUNICATE. Dennis Brown - 21:41, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello, I am a huge fan of Miss Earth. I never had any intentions to mislead anyone about any updates and news about it. I don’t believe that my recent editing at Miss Earth 2022 is disruptive. The source that I indicated is from the official Miss Balkana Instagram account. I would just like to let everyone else know that the date when they will be announcing their delegates is an official announcement from their official Instagram account. In regards to my previous editing, it alwayws comes from an official social media account of the other national pageants. I am requesting you to please unblock me. I am completely aware of Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines. I am always making sure that only the most reliable sources should be cited on the article. Again, please have me unblocked. Thank you for understanding. Ian.garcia1 (talk) 23:13, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Since you don't think that you were disruptive, there are no grounds to remove the block. You will need to tell us how exactly your sources were problematic (hint) Another part of the problem, that you don't really discuss, is the lack of communication- please tell what steps you will take to better engage with other editors. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 10:57, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

This is the link that I used as a source: https://www.instagram.com/p/CicVDpHKtpx/. As you can see, it’s the official Instagram account of Miss Balkana so this is a very reliable source. Moving forward, I will communicate with other editors to check if I can post new updates on the article and to ask for their permission before posting anything. I am requesting to please unblock me. Thank you.

Decline reason:

You clearly don't understand WP:RS; that is not a reliable source. You also don't seem to understand the concerns around your communication. Yamla (talk) 11:26, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recommendation[edit]

Ian, I am not an administrator but I have been discussing this stuff with the admins. You probably aren't going to get anywhere until you can describe what's wrong with edits like this one that you have made in the past. And why using talkpages is part of the normal editing process. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:13, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello, in regards to that edit, I have to admit that I just took the source from a Facebook Fanpage which at that time I was not aware is an unreliable source. Moving forward, I guarantee that I will only indicate the most reliable sources whenever I edit an article. You have my assurance. I hope you can give me one more chance to prove myself. Thank you so much.

Decline reason:

I'm declining because I share DB's (and others') concerns that you can't recognise reliable sources. But I also want you to understand the communication issues above - you did not respond well, if at all, to the issues and you need to cover resolving future issues far better. For the sake of clarity, I'm not removing TPA, nor do I view you as being at imminent risk of that occurring. Nosebagbear (talk) 02:55, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't want to formally respond, because I would have to decline, and 3 declines can get your talk page access removed. I will say that if you don't know what is and isn't a reliable source, you can't guarantee you will only use reliable sources. In fact, it would guarantee you would fail and get blocked again. Maybe you need to read a bit and try to understand what is and isn't a reliable source for our purposes here. WP:RS is a good read, and WP:RSN has an archive that has discussion on what isn't considered reliable. Dennis Brown - 00:07, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello, I understand that I am still indefinitely blocked. I am aware it is becaise of some violations I made in the past. Could I please request if you can just let me edit my Sandbox please? Just my Sandbox is all I’m asking. I do hope this is not too luch of an ask. Or if you can totally unblock my account, I guarantee I will no longer do any edits on any articles, just my Sandbox. Much appreciated

Decline reason:

No, that's not the purpose of Wikipedia at all. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 23:33, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hoaxing or just careless?[edit]

Were any of the countries you added here actually listed in the sources you used? St. Kitts and Nevis, Malawi, Mali, and Senegal delegates don't appear as far as I can tell, and three of the countries aren't listed at all. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:46, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Those three countries were listed on the website at the time I did the edit Ian.garcia1 (talk) 23:35, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
