User talk:Gu64rk gJune 2020Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 13:35, 18 June 2020 (UTC) Your recent editing history at Buffalo police shoving incident shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 14:47, 18 June 2020 (UTC) Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussionHello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Gu64rk_g reported by User:Arms & Hearts (Result: ). Thank you. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 15:08, 18 June 2020 (UTC) My edit was reverted without a discussion which is against Wikipedia best practices. After being blocked, the only reason given was that 'you're trying to promote a conspiracy theory about "scanning," whatever that's supposed to mean'. At no point did I mention scanning and in no way was I promoting a consipracy theory. The article seems to omit the necessary information to make it impartial. Gu64rk g (talk) 17:17, 18 June 2020 (UTC) BlockedYou have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Buffalo police shoving incident. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} . —Cryptic 15:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you so much for getting back to me (I am fairly new to Wikipedia as an editor but I've read many many articles throughout my life! I just felt this one needed more information). I removed 'appeared to show Martin Gugino pass his phone over the police officer's equipement' in the next edit [2]. It didn't say anything about scanning but I can see that it could be seen as a view. I then altered the text to say 'Close up video footage of Gugino with his phone in his right hand.', I was careful to remove anything that mentioned a view whilst adding correct information fundamental to encyclopedic neutrality. Video footage shows the 'scanning' or 'waving' or nothing at all; it is now up to the readers to make their mind up what it is. I personally feel it is not clear of either activity but it is important to the article as controversy has centered on why the police felt the need to push him and a photographic recording is a factual recording of events.

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).
Gu64rk g (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: On the talk page only were the words 'scanning' mentioned. I specifically said I do not believe it to be scanning 'personally feel it is not clear of either activity' (this seems like the Life of Brian scene where he is stoned for saying Jehovah). I did not mention the scanning word in the article. It is also important to mention that I was accused of ' rv conspiracy theory nonsense' before I mentioned the word scanning. I wrote 'scanning' in response to those accusations. (13:18, 18 June 2020 Arms & Hearts talk contribs 24,904 bytes -241 rv conspiracy theory nonsense). I subsequently changed the edit to remove the words 'Close up video footage appeared to show Martin Gugino pass his phone over the police officer's equipement immediately before they pushed him' and replaced them with 'Close up video footage of Gugino with his phone in his right hand.'. If you see the video it is very clear Gugino does pass his phone over the officer's equipement and that is unmistakeable and could easily show why the police pushed him which is fundamental to the page 'Buffalo police shoving incident' as it is paramount to the shoving part. As you can see I have never promoted a conspiracy theory and I have never claimed he was scanning. I hope you see this as a misunderstanding. I have tried to engage on the talk page and since my initial two reverts and temporary block (of which I am sorry and apologised) I have not tried to make another revert or try to add the close up gif on the page again. I am new to wikipedia edits and I apologise if I have unwittingly missed important etiquette. There is another user on there purporting RFAM scanning, that was not me and I don't even know what that is. It is clearly a case of mistaken identity. Gu64rk g (talk) 11:06, 20 June 2020 (UTC) Decline reason: Your edits didn't rely on secondary sources, but were original research. They were also biography of living persons violations. You won't be unblocked to continue your conspiracy theory edits. PhilKnight (talk) 18:07, 20 June 2020 (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. @PhilKnight: In terms of the conspiracy theory of scanning, my first mention was 'I personally feel it is not clear of either activity' (scanning or waving), I made no mention of it in the article apart from denying the conspiracy theory accusation Talk:Buffalo_police_shoving_incident, my attempt was to show the incident and let the reader of the article decide.
