I responded to your request at [[WP:AIV]] regarding TheEmperorHasNoClothes12 and blocked them for a week, as well as leaving a sternly worded warning. I've looked into this further, and I see now that you have very much been part of this edit warring as well. You've previously [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=130802774 been blocked] for edit warring. You should know better at this point, yet maintained the edit war on [[Deion Sanders]] without attempting to engage in discussion either at TheEmperorHasNoClothes12's talk page or the article's talk page. This is not how we resolve disputes. As such, I'm going to give you the same warning I gave TheEmperorHasNoClothes12; this edit warring ends now. Either you engage in appropriate [[WP:DR|dispute resolution]] instead of [[WP:EW|edit warring]], or you will be involuntarily, by way of a block, be stopped for edit warring. Had I looked into this further at the time of the request, I would very likely have blocked you then as a direct participant in the edit war. That's my mistake. Blocks aren't to be punitive, but corrective and thus blocking you now is not an appropriate action to take. But, if you persist in edit warring anywhere on the project you can expect to be blocked again for it. Stop it. --[[User:Hammersoft|Hammersoft]] ([[User talk:Hammersoft|talk]]) 18:54, 12 January 2023 (UTC) |

* How is it edit warring when the user was previously warned about addition of unsourced content by me and another editor? The account in question was created over a year ago and if you check their edit log the only edits they have made are unsourced changes to the height of the Deion Sanders article. Zero other constructive edits from the account whatsoever. I reverted the edits many times to the stats listed at NFL.com, which is the default source for NFL player stats listed in the infobox. I was simply trying to prevent further vandalism. I've continually fought vandalism and made reliably sourced and accurate edits on Wikipedia. I am not here to be disruptive or anything other than improving accuracy. --[[User:Hunterb212|Hunterb212]] 4:29, 12 January 2023 (UTC) |

:: Because the content they were attempting to add was in fact sourced. Inappropriately, but it was sourced. When there is a disagreement over content which is not clearly vandalism, it is edit warring. [[WP:3RRNO]] is instructive here; exceptions to the 3RR rule include {{tq|"Reverting obvious vandalism—edits that any well-intentioned user would agree constitute vandalism, such as page blanking and adding offensive language."}}. This was not that. Following [[WP:DR]] would have been an appropriate route. Alternatively, you could have reported the account earlier. A [[WP:SPA|single purpose account]] is allowed here. That's not to say they don't legitimately attract more attention, but they are allowed. --[[User:Hammersoft|Hammersoft]] ([[User talk:Hammersoft|talk]]) 10:57, 13 January 2023 (UTC) |

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:34, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Lex Luger. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
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. WWE.com is most reliable when it comes to billed height and weights Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:37, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Cody Rhodes. StaticVapor message me! 18:24, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- I left an edit summary on my last revert. Why are you changing something that was updated in 2017–2018, to something that was updated in like 2016 or probably much earlier? Is WWE a more reliable source than NJPW? StaticVapor message me! 18:39, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
You are changing it for what reason to begin with when the first listed official site in credible sources is WWE.com as per WP:PW? Is there a clear cut reason for the edit to begin with? Did he grow an inch in height magically while wrestling in NJPW so that his WWE official stats are no longer accurate? I find that edit to be a clear case of bias with no justification to change something already cited from the first listed credible source according to Wikipedia guidelines. Hunterb212 (talk) 19:46, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- Those are strong words to throw around to attempt to prove your point there. What do I have bias about? That literally makes no sense. The WWE.com source is probably more outdated than 2015, maybe it is a couple years old. They still have the weight for Velvateen Dream from over two years ago. What makes you doubt that he grew an inch over a few years? Even if he did not, that is still his most recent billed height and that is what the section lists. StaticVapor message me! 08:25, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I have reverted your edit on the above page. Pls note that the source already at the bottom of the infobox (Sherdog). We add source for the the infobox if the info can not be obtain from Sherdog.com - see here- Ngannou height from sherdog.com -

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Francis Ngannou, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. 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 Francis Ngannou, you may be blocked from editing. Cassiopeia(talk) 06:17, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Hunterb212, good day. THIS was your edit where you removed a sourced content. The source is from ESPN and not sherdog. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk) 06:20, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Actually you are the one disruptive editing as we generally go by Sherdog which is cited at bottom of infobox. If you continue you may be blocked from editing. Hunterb212 (talk) 06:21, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Hunterb212, First of all, fighter profile at Sherdog does not indicate the trainer but the team. Secondly removed a source content without explanation and that is a vandalism. If you continue to that you will be blocked. Thirdly, info can not be obtain from Sherdog fighter profile page do need sources for WP:PROVEIT. Lastly, you need to WP:Ping the editor who you send the message so they could receive a notification. See Template:Ping on instructions. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 06:26, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- First of all I never said it indicated the trainer or the team. What I said was generally we use the stats from Sherdog for fighter profiles such as height and weight. What I was doing was not vandalism as I was following the source for official fighter profile cited at the bottom of the info box, which is Sherdog. I'll leave it as is though as clearly that small action offended you. I am not here to be disruptive at all though. Hunterb212 (talk) 06:33, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Hunterb212, THIS IS Ngannou Sherdog Profile and THIS (pls click on the bold text to see the info. Again, Sherdog fighter profile does NOT indicate the trainer and you removed a sourced content without explanation that would considered a vandalism act. If you didnt know, now you know. I am one of the mma editors in Wikipedia and counter vandalism trainer and if you have any question, then do ask for I am here to help. However, if you continue to vandalism a page then you will be warned and lead up to a block. It is not that you offended me, but I am here to protect Wikipedia. Btw, you need to add additonal ":" (colon) from the previous message thread before you start your message (I have added for you) for that is the communication protocol in Wikipedia talk page and again pls ping when you send a message to the editor for they will not know you send them a message without the ping. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 06:41, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Ok I already said I was leaving it alone and you are continually harassing and threatening to block me. You can go ahead and stop now, I'm not here to argue and edit war with people. Hunterb212 (talk) 06:48, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Hunterb212, Hi Hunterb212, I am harassing or threatening you but to advise and info you which you had received in the past by other editors as well. As long as you edit constructively and adhere to Wikipedia guidelines then there will be no issues. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 06:53, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

- Well I was told by another editor when I cited ESPN stats on a fighter not to do that and ho by Sherdog before. So it's a bit confusing on what is an accepted source for MMA fighter stats. Now you're telling me that I shouldn't use Sherdog even though it is cited on almost every fighter page as the source for their fight records. So am I to only use ESPN as a source for MMA fighter stats? Hunterb212 (talk) 06:58, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Also when you look at a lot of MMA fighter' pages on here they have no citations for their height and weight. I think there should be, but I was told that we go by Sherdog because it is cited at the bottom of the infobox. So I am getting conflicting info on this subject from different editors. My question is do we cite Sherdog or ESPN for the stats specifically? Because if that is the case, most of the MMA fighter pages on Wikipedia aren't cited properly for stats. Hunterb212 (talk) 07:11, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Hunterb212, The editor who informed you was me - see HERE-3. The message I had sent to you and the message I informed today is the same. I am going to explain again and please read it carefull. All MMA fgither infobox in Wikipedia info is obtained as per sherdog, UNLESS the info CAN NOT be found on the Sherdog Fighter page, then we would add in the info from other source and we need citation (source) to support the claim. For example, if you look at Ngannou Sherdog Profile, there fighter stand indicated, so we would use UFC fighter stats - see here Ngannou ufcstats. I have added the stand info on the inbox with source - see -here. Since the height info can be obtained from Sherdogl.com, then we dont need to change the source as the Sherdog source info already in the bottom of the infobox. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk) 08:24, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
Ok I understand but just so you know ESPN stats for MMA fighters are more accurate because they update every time a fighter weighs in for a fight, which Sherdog does not. So when you revert my edits on fighter stats from ESPN back to Sherdog, you are actually making them less accurate as the stats used on Sherdog are not up to date. I can attest to this as someone who regularly watches MMA and is quite familiar with fighter stats. Just thought that should be corrected to improve accuracy but apparently you consider that vandalism. Hunterb212 (talk) 15:39, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Tito Ortiz. Cassiopeia(talk) 00:08, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
{{od))
- Hi Hunterb212, As mentioned to you many times before and also by other editors - Info can be obtained from Sherdog will be recorded in the infobox, if not then source is needed. Ortiz is 6'2" as per Sherdog - see [1]. Since 2007, Sherdog partnered with ESPN, providing extensive MMA content and fighter database to ESPN - see here - 1. There is also discussion on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard regarding Sherdog as a reliable source - see here - 2. Since Sherdog partnered with ESPN and ESPN is considered reliable then Sherdog info should be considered reliable as well. Pls so stop what you are doing before you get blocked. Cassiopeia(talk) 00:14, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Hunterb212, One more thing, pls do not remove the height conversion - example 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m), only in America uses feets and inches but the rest of the world use metric system. The convesion template shows both system. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk) 00:19, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
Listen to me you have repeated yourself again and again and I have done what you said and converted stats to reflect the info on Sherdog. You have no authority to block me either if my edits are accurate and I am providing a reliable source as I've done nothing wrong there so your threats don't scare me. You continually revert edits but you don't even check the websites to see if the info you are reverting back to is accurate. You have done that several times now and not even realized it. How bout if you are going to keep stats listed strictly from Sherdog you check the stats I have edited and you will see they match up. You are not the end all be all authority on MMA so quit acting like it. Hunterb212 (talk) 00:20, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
You can still see metric measurements the way I edit it. You are just nitpicking at me because you obviously think you are the all knowing authority on MMA here and you are not. I've been watching MMA since it's inception and probably know more about it than you do. Hunterb212 (talk) 00:22, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Hunterb212, we're at the final stage of Height and (to a degree) Sherdog's reliability discussions in Talk:Conor_McGregor where you have participated. Would you please provide your answer if you have a problem or not with the Wikipedia administrator's final proposal for what Conor McGregor's height should be? It's at the end of the talk page. Thanks in advance.Lordpermaximum (talk) 14:21, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello again Hunterb212, as you know we've reached a consensus in the Talk:Conor_McGregor page. There's now a discussion going on in Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard to consider sherdog.com unreliable as an expansion of our previous consensus. I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks in advance.Lordpermaximum (talk) 10:50, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hunterb212, I also requested for comment on the reliability of sherdog.com in the RSN. If you share a response on that, I would be really glad. Thanks again. Best, Lordpermaximum (talk) 23:41, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- sorry been at work today but I will look into that but it also seems we have an editor who is continually trying to revert the McGregor edit now even though consensus was reached by multiple editors. I reverted it back already but apparently he wants to edit war over it so we might need to report him to an administrator. Hunterb212 (talk) 01:18, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hunterb212, No worries. The RfC in RSN is going on and there have been many votes. I would like your opinion there. Thank you again. Best wishes, Lordpermaximum (talk) 19:21, 14 October 2020 (UTC).
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Bob Sapp has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. UW Dawgs (talk) 06:08, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Nothing inaccurate or inappropriate about the edit on Bob Sapp's page. The agreed upon source for info is cited at the bottom of the infobox which was Sherdog. If you haven't noticed most MMA fighter's pages do not list a citation besides height and weight. Hunterb212 (talk) 15:30, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Tony Ferguson
Hello , I am coming here to you and want you to help me from having users like Cassiopeia and nedochan from ruining wiki pages with vandalism . Please take a look at Tony Ferguson’s height which is listed in the ufc at 5’11 but for some reason his wiki page says 6’0 . Basically the same issue with the mcgregor page a few days ago . They use Sherdog as a reliable source . Do something about it like you did with the mcgregor page and let’s stop them from reverting such accurate edits . Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiman122112 (talk • contribs) 15:13, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Honestly I find Sherdog to be pretty reliable for the most part but yes there are some errors such as the McGregor page and possibly the Ferguson and Henderson pages. I already made my suggestion that for current fighters I believe using ESPN stats would be more accurate and make more sense. However I'm not gonna sit here and edit war with these people who have been on this site for 10-15 years and have 50,000 edits to their name because I know they will probably band together and get me blocked. For whatever reason there is a group of veteran editors who want Sherdog to be the sole source of MMA info on Wikipedia and I really don't have the seniority here yet to fight against their consensus. I do believe Sherdog is not a bad source but I just don't think it should be the only acceptable source. I just don't feel like putting the time and energy into going to war over it and I don't want my account blocked over it and these long time editors have a lot more pull around here than I do. Hunterb212 (talk) 15:46, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- I thought I have already proven that they can't override Wikepedia Policies or common sense. But this is just the beginning.Lordpermaximum (talk) 16:23, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Yes I agree with a lot of what you guys are saying it's just I don't want to edit war with them over it. The hypocrisy of Cassiopeia is the one that really irks me the most. She claims Sherdog is partners with ESPN which makes them reliable. Then when I try to edit a fighters stats and cite ESPN ad the source, she reverts it back to Sherdog. So if she considers ESPN reliable why does she revert edits which cite them as a source? To me it's all a bunch of nonsense and frankly I'm trying not to get caught up in it all so much because now we have admins getting involved and making threats and it's all getting pretty messy. But I agree totally with you guys that Sherdog should not be the lone accepted source for MMA pages on Wikipedia, to me that doesn't make any sense. Hunterb212 (talk) 16:41, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Then let your voice be heard at WP:RSN#Responses_(Sherdog.com). I think there's an option for your thoughts such as "reliable in the absense of generally reliable sources" which seems to suit your opinions or another option if you like. Whatever option you choose, let your voice be heard there. No one will hear you here.Lordpermaximum (talk) 17:12, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- I will look it over, the thing is the editors here who have been controlling every little aspect now think that any newer editors who show up don't know what they're talking about. When in reality I'm probably older and more knowledgeable on MMA than 90% of them. I've been an avid fan since UFC 1 so I have pretty extensive knowledge on the subject but they don't want to listen because they're so used to people coming on here just to vandalize. That's not the case at all with me but from my interactions so far that seems to be what they automatically assume even when you cite an official and reliable source such as ESPN. Hunterb212 (talk) 18:22, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Their reasoning according to them is ESPN is not an independent source because it's partnered with the UFC which is wrong. Fighters don't work for ESPN. They work for the UFC. But as you said before, they use the ESPN deal which was made 13.5 years ago as an argument to support sherdog.com's reliability. Two-faced liars. It's just comical.Lordpermaximum (talk) 22:43, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- But I really need your vote no matter what it is at WP:RSN#Responses_(Sherdog.com) if we are to stop them from using sherdog.com as the sole source.Lordpermaximum (talk) 22:44, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Please make your case over on the active WT:NFL discussion and let's get a consensus first instead of you going around and changing more measurements. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 05:19, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
I've made my case already and you're the one edit warring over it. There is no consensus in your favor either nor is there a Wikiproject page backing up your claims that team websites are considered a more reliable source. Nor have you provided any proof that the team sites are more up to date. This just seems to be a personal preference with you and you're trying to enforce that by repeating yourself without backing up your arguments or showing any proof of your claims.

April 2022
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jarran Reed. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although 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. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:00, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Looking at the discussion from 19 May above, please consider this to be a stern warning, possibly a final one before a topic ban from editing articles about living people or a block from editing to prevent such contributions in the future, without automatic block expiration after a fixed time. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:42, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Edit warring
I responded to your request at WP:AIV regarding TheEmperorHasNoClothes12 and blocked them for a week, as well as leaving a sternly worded warning. I've looked into this further, and I see now that you have very much been part of this edit warring as well. You've previously been blocked for edit warring. You should know better at this point, yet maintained the edit war on Deion Sanders without attempting to engage in discussion either at TheEmperorHasNoClothes12's talk page or the article's talk page. This is not how we resolve disputes. As such, I'm going to give you the same warning I gave TheEmperorHasNoClothes12; this edit warring ends now. Either you engage in appropriate dispute resolution instead of edit warring, or you will be involuntarily, by way of a block, be stopped for edit warring. Had I looked into this further at the time of the request, I would very likely have blocked you then as a direct participant in the edit war. That's my mistake. Blocks aren't to be punitive, but corrective and thus blocking you now is not an appropriate action to take. But, if you persist in edit warring anywhere on the project you can expect to be blocked again for it. Stop it. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:54, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- How is it edit warring when the user was previously warned about addition of unsourced content by me and another editor? The account in question was created over a year ago and if you check their edit log the only edits they have made are unsourced changes to the height of the Deion Sanders article. Zero other constructive edits from the account whatsoever. I reverted the edits many times to the stats listed at NFL.com, which is the default source for NFL player stats listed in the infobox. I was simply trying to prevent further vandalism. I've continually fought vandalism and made reliably sourced and accurate edits on Wikipedia. I am not here to be disruptive or anything other than improving accuracy. --Hunterb212 4:29, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Because the content they were attempting to add was in fact sourced. Inappropriately, but it was sourced. When there is a disagreement over content which is not clearly vandalism, it is edit warring. WP:3RRNO is instructive here; exceptions to the 3RR rule include
"Reverting obvious vandalism—edits that any well-intentioned user would agree constitute vandalism, such as page blanking and adding offensive language."
. This was not that. Following WP:DR would have been an appropriate route. Alternatively, you could have reported the account earlier. A single purpose account is allowed here. That's not to say they don't legitimately attract more attention, but they are allowed. --Hammersoft (talk) 10:57, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
