Hello, Spectritus. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Christopher R. Baker".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:37, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

@Liz Ok, I understand. Spectritus (talk) 17:59, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Bukayo Saka, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:56, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

@Mattythewhite Look at the score of England v Ukraine. Spectritus (talk) 17:03, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

I know the score. But we don't update stats until matches have finished. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:06, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

@Mattythewhite I'm sorry, I didn't know. Spectritus (talk) 17:38, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Why are you still not using references when updating content? This is not acceptable, WP:VERIFY is especially important when editing about living people. TylerBurden (talk) 21:00, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

@TylerBurden I'm sorry, I thought you would see in the news that what I added is true. I'll try not to make the same mistake again. Spectritus (talk) 05:33, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Read the policy, it's not about reading the news, articles need inline citations. TylerBurden (talk) 17:54, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Sorry Spectritus (talk) 18:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Please wait for an official announcement and not some news/rumour. And he can't join them until 1 July as he is a Madrid player until 30 June. Kante4 (talk) 15:23, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

@Kante4 It is official https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/05/karim-benzema-signs-deal-saudi-arabia-al-ittihad-real-madrid-lionel-messi Spectritus (talk) 15:25, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

The club has not announced anything yet. That is the official source we need. Kante4 (talk) 15:25, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

@Kante4 You're right he will only join them when the transfer window opens. Sorry for my mistake. Spectritus (talk) 15:27, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

No problem. Kante4 (talk) 15:29, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add poorly sourced content to a biography of a living person, as you did at Colin Salmon. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:31, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate It says he's born in 1962 literally everywhere even his Wikipedia page in other languages. Spectritus (talk) 06:20, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate And where's the evidence he was born in 1961 ? Spectritus (talk) 16:38, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate Can you please answer my question ? Spectritus (talk) 06:32, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Why don't you just read the article? For the record, you're now muted, and I will no longer receive pings from you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:24, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for repeated BLP violations. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}.  NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:00, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate Can you just give a reason you blocked me ? There's nothing with my edit. And please reply! Spectritus (talk) 16:09, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

• There's nothing wrong with my edit.

Request reason:

NinjaRobotPirate blocked me for no valid reason, they claim my edit on Colin Salmon's birth year to not be properly sourced which is true but the original birth year (1961, I changed it to 1961-1962) wasn't sourced either and when I asked them where's the evidence the original birth year is true, they simply ignored me and then muted me. I noticed that on many websites it says Colin Salmon was born on 6 December 1962 (even Wikipedia in other languages), while a few others say 6 December 1961. So please resolve this issue. As Colin Salmon's birth year is being debated I suggest to just write both on his Wikipedia page or none at all. I also suggest you relieve NinjaRobotPirate from his Administrative permissions before they treat someone else the same way they treated me Spectritus (talk) 16:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Attacking the blocking admin for correctly blocking you is a terrible idea. Taking a look at this edit of yours, I see you change the date of birth from "December 1961", which is cited in the article with this citation, to "6 December 1961 or 1962", which is not. You seem to think Wikipedia in other languages would be a reasonable citation here, which isn't true and shows you don't understand WP:RS. Please take this time to understand what you were doing incorrectly and how information should be properly sourced here. Yamla (talk) 17:57, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

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.

@Yamla I'm sorry, I didn't see the cited source. I also apologise to user:NinjaRobotPirate for wrongfully accusing him of not doing his job correctly.

Please read through the links to policies and guidelines on your talk page. For example, you can't add user-generated content to biographies of living persons. You can't just make a best guess at when someone was born. You can't copy content from other versions of Wikipedia. You can't restore unsourced content once it's been removed. You can't do any of the things you've been doing recently. I'm in pain because of a recent injury, so I probably should be more helpful when it comes to explaining these things. But you've got a page full of links to the guidelines and policies! You can't just ignore them. You have to read them. If you don't read them and follow them, the result is escalating blocks. If you can summarize (in your own words) the links that I've just given you now, I'll unblock you. I'm not going to get any pings you send – I muted you because you send them too often – so it may take me a while to notice that you've responded. If any other admin is satisfied with your responses, though, they're free to unblock you. Just make another unblock request if I don't respond in a timely manner.

On 6 December 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Michèle Rivasi, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. PFHLai (talk) 23:27, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

@PFHLai OK. Spectritus (talk) 06:19, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
