Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 01:36, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You need to start editing properly

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:03, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As explained before, you clearly have a very weak understanding of what constitutes a source, which has lead you to make highly problematic edits in contentious areas. You were also advised stop to editing while logged out and yet you've continued alternating between editing logged out and logged in. Whether editing logged out or logged in, you've been removing information and adding commentary that aligns with views favored by far-right extremists, often ignoring the rest of the content in the article. For example, in the male privilege article, you added information that is flatly contradicted in the "Scope" section but that did fit anti-feminist strawmen regarding male privilege. In the white supremacy article, you removed information that was summarizing the "Academic use of the term" section. While you claimed to do so because it was unsourced, and not knowing that the intro summarizes the body would be a forgivable newbie mistake, in light of your other edits and your avoiding communication that edit is just further evidence that you should not be editing in highly-contentious areas. And yet, so far, that's all you seem interested in, which is why your account is now blocked.

Also, FYI, there's also discretionary sanctions in the topic of gender-related disputes or controversy as well as any persons associated with them (as there is for politics, already explained).

The way out of this block is to acknowledge that you need to communicate better and promise to edit other topics until (at least) you've demonstrated awareness of how things work here. Complaining about or accusing anyone else (including me) is not going to work, you legitimately have to admit that you've made mistakes and show us how you will avoid them in the future.

Again, all it's going to take to be unblocked is to say "ok, I'll stick to my account, reply to messages, and edit [name some other topics] instead." (And to then avoid articles relating to contentious topics such as politics, races, and gender for a good while). I'm not expecting you to fully comprehend how yet much you've been messing up and I'm not even asking for a formal topic ban -- just an informal promise that will be the first step in being a productive member of the community.
