User talk:173.3.61.190

November 2019

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, John Matuszak, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 22:58, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

That requirement is for biographies of living people. Not every damn thing. Is there something in those two sentences that you doubt? Do you think that he DIDN'T play for the Raiders? Do you think they DIDN'T win the Super Bowl? Or did you just revert me out of hand because I'm not logged in? 173.3.61.190 (talk) 00:01, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

No, it isn't just for BLPs. Please see WP:V, also, please review WP:BURDEN before you re-add the material, and consider that it would probably be a lot faster to simply add a source than to argue about whether one should be needed. Also, if you do have an account here, you certainly shouldn't be editing without being logged in. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 00:46, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

You're wrong about that, too, sport. There is NO requirement to log in. As for the rest, WP:V requires that the info be verifiABLE. It is. You can verify it. So go ahead. Or stay in an edit war with an IP address, and get yourself into some shit. YOU reverted first, so you'll violate 3RR before me. (Yeah, I'm not actually a noob). 173.3.61.190 (talk) 00:52, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Here, I'll help you extricate yourself from the situation you've gotten yourself into. Here are some quick and easy sources of varying quality I found in a 2-second Google search. Knock yourself out.

-Went to Raiders in 1976:[1]

-Raiders won two Super Bowls:[2][3]

-Tooz helped them win those games:[4]

If there's something else you doubt, tag it. Or do some research. This is REALLY basic stuff. None of it is in doubt. It doesn't need citations, but if you want to do them, go right ahead. I don't want to (because I'm on a cell phone, and it's a pain in the ass), and I don't have to. 173.3.61.190 (talk) 03:19, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

PS - As a retired admin whose RfA passed unanimously before you even started editing here, I can tell you edit wars of this sort don't do you any favors.173.3.61.190 (talk) 03:23, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. DonIago (talk) 04:46, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

LOL. K. A big reason I'm not here anymore is that, after several years, I got sick of all the procedural circle-jerks. So, while I replied over there, it will be the last time. Looks like someone is now doing your job for you on the article (which, again, an aspiring admin should have had no problem doing himself), so I'm all set. You're never going to argue your way into being right about this, no matter where you post. I suggest you move on to something you can fix. 173.3.61.190 (talk) 13:08, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

Bbb23, stumbled upon this discussion. After reviewing it, this blocks seems to be a pointless, if not an outright bad, block. Sure there was a dispute, and the IP wasn't being especially nice, but the issue was resolved. What behavior does a block prevent right now? The "disruptive" editing was adding accurate, albeit unsourced, info that was accidentally removed in a previous edit. This just comes across as a punitive. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:18, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
