{{unblock | Please unblock so that I may respond to comments on the talk page of my husband's bio [[Christopher Michael Langan]]. People that we know IRL are editing his page in a negative way because they have a personal vendetta. They are arguing for deletion of legitimate content. I want to be able to counter their arguments. I will not attempt to edit the article page. Thank you. [[User:DrL|DrL]] ([[User talk:DrL#top|talk]]) 16:10, 24 February 2020 (UTC)}} I don't see a block on this account directly, for any reason. Please tell the exact message that appears when you attempt to edit. 331dot (talk) 20:36, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- I have wrapped the template in nowiki tags, since DrL has been actively editing and so does not seem to be blocked. GorillaWarfare (talk) 21:42, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
Outing
Please read WP:OUTING before continuing to edit Wikipedia. Your recent edits on Talk:Christopher Langan are completely unacceptable on Wikipedia -- you may not attempt to connect an editor to a real-life individual unless they have explicitly disclosed such a link themselves on Wikipedia. Do not reintroduce the information -- doing so will result in a block from editing. GorillaWarfare (talk) 21:41, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- Will do. Please revert the page to the last neutral version by Johnnyyiu. Billinghurst used your decision to lock as validation of the version by these trolls. We've been dealing with them for two years - you can imagine how frustrating it's been. TIA DrL (talk)
- Please see my comment/question at BLPN: [1]. (Just trying to consolidate these conversations a bit). GorillaWarfare (talk) 03:38, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

. – bradv🍁 18:41, 26 February 2020 (UTC)- Please see the warnings above. You are not permitted to out other editors, nor to edit the talk page disruptively (Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/ScienceApologist#Remedies). Please comment on content, not contributors. – bradv🍁 18:46, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
@DrL: I am trying to work out what is going on and I will ask other experienced editors what might be done. Meanwhile, I suggest you do not comment here or attempt to make any edit or email until the block expires. It is frustrating when an open platform such as Wikipedia is used to attack people but we have to live with it and respond wisely. I suggest not mentioning other editors at all unless at a noticeboard such as WP:ANI. Such mentions only stimulate trouble. Johnuniq (talk) 06:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
@DrL: Hi. You appear to have been blocked from editing Langan's page in the past for your antics, so I would suggest reining yourself in before your account is banned. I do not know your husband in real life, as you keep suggesting. I am from the UK, and have never once stepped foot on US soil. Furthermore, my edits have all been in compliance with Wikipedia's rules. I have been reading these rules very carefully to ensure that this is the case.
I have no grudge against your husband. Indeed, I admire him for his commitment to Truth. I, too, am committed to Truth, and my recent edits to Langan's page reflect that fact. Which of my edits do you take issue with, exactly? They are all backed up by reliable third party sources, so I don't understand what your grievance is. It is not my fault that these sources present Langan in a negative light. I am just a humble Wikipedia contributor.
Kind regards, and have a lovely day, EarlWhitehall (talk) 02:37, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
A kitten for you!

Discretionary sanctions alert
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
