December 2018[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Plusbus. –Davey2010^Talk 22:30, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Plusbus; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. –Davey2010^Talk 22:31, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Plusbus shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 you 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. –Davey2010^Talk 13:16, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 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 ~~~~}}. Alexf^(talk) 14:13, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When your block expires[edit]

Hello Ruby968. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Ruby968. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ruby968|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Ian.thomson (talk) 14:48, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even if you are not being directly paid for your edits, given the contents of this (now-hidden) edit summary), there's no pretending you don't work for them. I'm going to pretend that this other account was just some unrelated employee for now, instead of you trying to skip out of your block or someone you asked for help, because those latter two cases would be sufficient reason to indefinitely block this account and any others likely to be from the company.

You need to read our rules on editing with a conflict of interest and should never directly edit the article again. You can make edit requests on the article's talk page. In fact, if you agree to do that, it'd be fine for us to unblock you right now.

Wikipedia is an volunteer-run encyclopedia. All we do here is cite, summarize, and paraphrase professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, without addition, nor commentary.

Wikipedia is not a directory where businesses are entitled to list themselves. Wikipedia is not a webhost that businesses are entitled to shape as they see fit. Wikipedia does not tolerate promotional editing and takes a very dim view on paid editing. Plusbus does not own Plusbus's page, it is Wikipedia's page about Plusbus. You currently have the privilege of making edit requests (and maybe minor edits) but that privilege can be revoked if you do not abide by our policies.

Due to checkuser-confirmed abuse of multiple accounts, I have increased the duration of this block to indefinite. Yunshui ^雲 _水 15:36, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Hi Yunshui, Thanks for indeffing, When you're not busy could you kindly close Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ruby968 please, Many thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 17:15, 7 December 2018 (UTC)~~[reply]

Done, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 18:45, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

December 2018[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

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 ~~~~}}. Yunshui ^雲 _水 15:35, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Ruby ns1.JPG[edit]

The file File:Ruby ns1.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

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