  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Ad Orientem (talk) 16:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Ad Orientem Hey, a heads up that this user, Jarrod Quigley, just spammed clearly baseless vandalism warnings on the talk pages of like 50+ users within 10 minutes 211.43.120.242 (talk) 11:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello, quick addition to this. Upon reviewing this user's contributions, I found they had made 64 reversions across dozens of articles since July 1. They have also posted level 4 vandalism warnings on the talk pages of the users who made the edits they undid. While most of these reversions appear disruptive, one reversion was appropriate as it undid a vandalism edit by another user. However, the majority of the reversions were still disruptive.

@Ad Orientem: I wanted to bring to your attention that user @Jarrod Quigley: has continued their disruptive behavior. They recently removed a substantial, policy-based discussion from the Talk:Crystallizedcarbon page without explanation or justification. I have reverted this edit. You can see the edit history here. Given their history of disruptive editing that you previously warned them about, and this latest incident, I believe further administrative action may be necessary to prevent continued disruption. Thank you for your attention to this matter. ~~ 103.139.133.12 (talk) 13:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Maharashtra Legislative Council did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! —Alalch E. 13:16, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Ad Orientem: Please block this user until they show that they understand what vandalism is, that responding to edits in the form of legitimate updates to non-contentious items without providing a source (one of the most frequent things that happen on Wikipedia) is done by providing a source, by tagging, by asking the user to provide a source, by notifying them that sources must be provided in the future, and, possibly, by reverting, as a last resort, but not reverting in this way without an edit summary and without identifying the issue. The user should also show that they understand how to use user warnings. See User talk:94.154.22.52. That IP was performing updates to Polish articles which were unsourced, but appear to be factually correct, and were done in good faith. This is just one example.

    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright

If you need further help, you can:

or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{Help me}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
    Perform maintenance tasks
           
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
    Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
