Personal attacks
You've now made 9 personal attacks on me in the IJERA thread:
- "you find it hard to understand their work."
- "your comments above which show your limited understanding of a scientific article"
- "your persistent misjudgment, conduct issues and dialog fails"
- "you easily attack anyone and any source and you act like as if you own the articles here"
- "again show your limited understanding and poor knowledge"
- "you have no knowledge regarding the topics of viruses and genetically modified viruses"
- "you take everything personal and also it looks like that you don't agree with the article due to personal reasons"
- "you first attacked the source"
- "You later attacked the University of Bradford and their academics. You even attacked geneticists and you published false statements"
None of the above is true and I'd like to you strike your attacks immediately. This sort of behaviour is not acceptable on Wikipedia. --RexxS (talk) 15:20, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
Blocked
I have just reviewed this discussion, and your behaviour there is unacceptable on several levels. Firstly, you have been alerted to discretionary sanctions applicable to the subject of Covid-19/Coronavirus disease, above. As part of that, there are strict restrictions on what kinds of sources are allowed in related medical articles. It's actually all covered in WP:MEDRS, but the community has decided to adhere to that even more strictly than usual. The requirement for appropriate sources has been explained to you in that discussion, and you have also been told why the IJERA source that you have been trying to use to include a fringe theory is not acceptable.
Instead of listening to experienced Wikipedia editors, you have turned to personal attacks. The stream of derogatory personal put-downs listed above is not an acceptable way to conduct yourself on Wikipedia in general, or in this subject area specifically. Had it been just once or twice, possibly in the heat of the moment, I would have stopped at just giving you a warning. But you continued and have shown no sign of engaging in civil discussion or listening to what experienced Wikipedia editors are explaining to you.
In the light of all that, I have blocked you from editing the Coronavirus disease 2019 article and its talk page. Please be warned that any continuation of the approach you have demonstrated so far at other pages will be met with further sanctions.
If you wish to appeal this block, you can use {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
on this talk page, and someone else will review it. To be successful, I suggest an appeal would need to make a convincing case that you will a) stop trying to include fringe theories in Covid-19 articles, b) stop trying to use unacceptable sources, and c) seriously change the way you engage in discussions with other people. Please also see WP:GAB for more guidance on appealing a block.
