A tag has been placed on File:SoneAlukoPose.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the ((non-free fair use in|article name that the file is used in)) tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's policies concerning biographies of living people if you intend to continue editing such articles. Thanks,  Sandstein  14:02, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. 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; 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. AcidSnow (talk) 15:22, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at User:AcidSnow/sandbox. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. 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, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 15:32, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit_warring#Xelophate_reported_by_AcidSnow_.28Result:_.29 --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:24, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)).

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

The full report is at WP:AN3#Xelophate reported by AcidSnow (Result: Blocked). Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:27, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Hello, yes i had a conflict with AcidSnow. AcidSnow provided one source to his claim that Turkey is not a Middle-Eastern country. I countered this by another source and I posted this on his user talk page. AcidSnow disregarded this and continued reverting my change before a solution could be solved. I accidentally posted on this user page and his sandbox page as I did not know where to post my source. I later found this out. I had no intention of being unprofessional, I wanted a swift resolve. If AcidSnow provided more source to support his claim I would have accepted this. I would then have put forward that Greece is in the Middle East as I have many reliable un-bias sources to provide this. I hope this is enough evidence, If more is needed I will provide more. Thank you, - Xelophate. I accidentally posted in AcidSnows SandBox and User page as I am new to the wikipedia talk system. I have never entered in an edit war. I have learnt in wikipedia guidelines on how to deal with the problem. Xelophate (talk) 20:24, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You are blocked for edit-warring, not for conflict with others. In plain words: undo others' non-vandalism edits too much and you will be blocked. Undo more than 3 times in 24 hours and a block is guaranteed. Edit warring is not how you solve content disputes. But regarding your conflict: I understand that all this talk page stuff can be very confusing and that's why you initially tried to communicate with people by posting on their user pages, the overall style of your communications needs a lot of improvements. Please be sure to read on our behaviorial standards and dispute resolution while you're blocked. Max Semenik (talk) 20:41, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Sibel Kekilli with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. Winner 42 Talk to me! 01:19, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is your final warning. You may be blocked from editing without further notice the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to User:Winner_42. Winner 42 Talk to me! 01:23, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Sibel Kekilli shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for continued disruptive editing and edit-warring (of which the edits to the BLP Sibel Kekilli were particularly egregious) despite numerous warnings and a recent block. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)).  Abecedare (talk) 02:06, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
