You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (2024 United States presidential election in Hawaii) for edit warring.

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 review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Star Mississippi 16:46, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hold off on the retirement, please. There was definitely an edit war at that page, and I tinkered extensively with the wording of that Analysis section for flow/style, but I've just posted at the AN/I pointing out that BobSmithME was not only insulting you but actively degrading the grammar in his own primary example of you supposedly writing badly. I haven't looked for more examples, but his view of correct usage appears to be flawed, and I hope discussion will continue and produce a better-rounded picture.

Ok. Des Vallee (talk) 20:45, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If I may add, ANI discussions often don't reach a conclusion very fast. It's even good practice to hear from both sides (or more), and often we'll see people going in different directions, before the community starts to really home in on the issue(s) and build that fuller picture. (Or of course it can boomerang badly.) Anyway, once an ANI discussion's started rolling, it's often good to wait a little. HTH. NebY (talk) 23:27, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted five of my edits in a single after I reverted one of yours. That creates an uneven application of WP:BRD and risks edit-warring rather than discussion. Including one in which I messaged the user who made the original change.

Additionally, there have been prior comments directed at me that appear to cross into personal attacks, which is not consistent with WP:NPA and highly suggestive of this is a continuation of that attack.

If you disagree with specific changes, please identify them individually and explain the policy basis for each revert. I’m happy to discuss content concerns here and work toward consensus rather than continuing back-and-forth reverts. I only disagreed with your original statement of length of time being the reasoning. Contentcreator (talk) 19:49, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Contentcreator: You misunderstand how reverts works, making multiple edits contentiously in sections does not give immunity from reverts, edit warring occurs once an edit have been reinstated and then reverted 6 times. All of your edits to the article I felt were unhelpful, some of the removed content that was added by numerous editors a long time ago. Can you provide an example of this "personal attacks," the previous only thing I commented on was you misunderstand how Wikipedia works, which is normal as you are a new editor. I was once a new editor that's normal and ok. I also detailed my changes on the talk page twice. This isn't the place to be posting this, go to the talk page where this is already being discussed, in a content dispute you generally don't want to comment on user pages.

Hi @Des Vallee, I just published "East Aleppo offensive (2026)" and I noticed that at the same time (18:14 UTC) you had published another article. Would you like to combine them into one? Farcazo (talk) 18:22, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Farcazo: They appear to be different articles, that one only deals with Deir Hafer and Maskanah. It also doesn't make sense as the fighting is currently outside Aleppo, I think if you wanted to merge your article into mine that would make sense. Des Vallee (talk) 18:30, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Do not continue reverting over three times any further, or a complaint will have to be made. The situation was explained thoroughly to you. Instead of continuing to revert under personal whim, enforcing a toxic environment, why don't you discuss the situation here? PLMandarynka (talk) 00:27, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

On 18 January 2026, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article 2026 northeastern Syria offensive, 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. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:37, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
