Edit warring[edit]

Please note that I have filed a report at WP:AN3 for edit-warring. An earlier warning which I posted here here has been removed. You may reply to this note at WP:AN3. The Four Deuces (talk) 22:51, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for Edit warring. You are welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below.

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).

Raymond Dundas (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Admin blocked upon a fallacious premise. He claims on WP:AN3 "It would be good to see more extensive use of the Talk page by all parties. Raymond Dundas, however, continues to revert out a connection between liberalism and science that appears to be supported by all the other editors." First of all, I had been discussing the matter on the talk page. Secondly, no other editor but Rick Norwood kept restoring the text with citations that didn't support the claim. The claim that it was supported by all other editors is false. Thirdly, Norwood is just as guilty of edit warring and failed to respond to the points I made on the talk page.

Decline reason:

Discussion is good. The next step is to refrain from reverting other users' edits until the talk page discussion clearly shows that consensus has been reached; I didn't see that in this article, so a block for edit-warring is necessary. It's okay if the article doesn't look exactly the way you want it to for a day or two; it's worth taking the time to achieve consensus with other users. This is an important process, and results in an article that both sides agrees is true. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:38, 25 May 2009 (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.

New AN3 report (May 29)[edit]

Modern liberalism in the United States (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hello Raymond Dundas. See the new AN3 report here. You may add your own comment if you wish. It is discouraging that a second complaint has been made about you regarding the same article, four days after the previous one. I hope you will comment on what efforts you have made in the last couple of days to reach consensus with other users on the Talk page. Since I closed the last case, I hope a different admin will take the issue this time, but when someone shows up with a complaint about the same article so quickly, it doesn't sound good. If you think that others on the Talk page support your position, please say who they are. EdJohnston (talk) 22:01, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May 2009[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for engaging in an edit war at Modern liberalism in the United States. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. — Aitias // discussion 22:36, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Raymond Dundas (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Admin didn't give a reason for blocking. I reverted edits by user:Rick Norwood who was edit warring[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] on the page Modern liberalism in the United States. I don't understand why I'm treated as the warrior when Norwood refuses to address me on the talk page.

Decline reason:

You've blatantly edit warred after previous blocks/warnings. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 04:59, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Modern liberalism in the United States[edit]

I have filed a 3rr report on the edit-warring noticeboard that you may respond to here: [8]. The Four Deuces (talk) 21:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

September 2009[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule at Modern liberalism in the United States. 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. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

London Wikimedia Fundraiser[edit]

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:47, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Contribution Team cordially invites you to Imperial College London
