Previous account(s)

Hello, Pocket Noodle,

You do not edit like an account that has only existed for 2 hours. For one thing, you know speedy deletion codes which new editors would not be familiar with. What previous account(s) did you use to edit Wikipedia? Please list them on your User page. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:31, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's necessary. Pocket Noodle (talk) 03:15, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I would like to know and from your response, I gather there have been other accounts in your past. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:20, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging pages for deletion

Hello, Pocket Noodle,

I suggest if you are going to tag pages for speedy deletion, please review WP:CSD so you understand what the criteria are better. You can't just make up reasons for deletion, they are very specific and limited. Also, I recommend using Twinkle to tag pages because after you set your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator", Twinkle will post a notification of the tagging on the talk page of the article creator. This is an essential step in the deletion process. If you don't want to use Twinkle for this, then please post your own notice. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:20, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, what do you think I did wrong? Which page?? Pocket Noodle (talk) 02:25, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

October 2023

Hello, I'm Maybeitsmir. I noticed that you recently removed content from Joseph Boyse without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. miranda ^:3 04:05, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced. 04:16, 13 October 2023 (UTC) Pocket Noodle (talk) 04:16, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pocket, it's not unreferenced. It's from the DNB ref, which is open source. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 04:22, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You claimed, he was born on 14 January 1660.

Please give a reference.

Pocket Noodle (talk) 04:25, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the listed DNB ref from Wikisource. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 04:27, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pocket Noodle, in case you could not tell that "DNB" refers to the "Dictionary of National Biography" reference (a public domain source transcribed on Wikisource), please note that it is in this reference:

"Boyse, Joseph" . Dictionary of National Biography. London: Smith, Elder & Co. 1885–1900.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Don't request moves from a different user's sandbox. It's not your page, and we don't use that request for moves from user space. And please don't request the same thing at more than one venue.

Your recent editing history at Joseph Boyse 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; read about 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

As you know, there is an edit-warring report at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Pocket_Noodle reported by User:WikiOriginal-9 (Result: ). I am posting this warning because you have not been specifically warned here about the edit warring policy before that report, and since you have continued to make reverts at that page. I would like to bring your attention specifically to the three-revert rule, which you appear to have violated at Joseph Boyse by reverting six times within the past few hours. Please stop making repeated reverts, as it is edit warring. SilverLocust 💬 06:43, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Joseph Boyse, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 07:18, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Pocket_Noodle reported by User:WikiOriginal-9 (Result: ). Thank you. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 04:30, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Bbb23 (talk) 13:14, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
