Your contributed article, Michael Anthony Knox

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Michael Anthony Knox. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Michael Knox (software businessman). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Michael Knox (software businessman) – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Wgolf (talk) 23:06, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

November 2020

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Troy Lyndon, you may be blocked from editing. Praxidicae (talk) 20:01, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Troy Lyndon 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.

November 2020 RESPONSE

This report by Praxidicae is false and unjustified. He continues to vandalize Troy Lyndon's Wikipedia page. Praxidicae has wrongly alleged that my edits are disruptive, when they are nothing more than edits to revert his vandalism. Mr. Lyndon was the lead developer of the world's first 3D John Madden Football video game, which has since become a billion dollar brand for Electronic Arts. Troy Lyndon has since become a prolific game developer of Bible games [1]. I am requesting that Praxidicae discontinue his continued vandalism.

If you insist on calling good faith editors who are abiding by policy vandals and various other insults, you'll need to substantiate it at WP:ANI. Cease your editing of my talk page until you've actually read the linked policies in my edit summaries and on your talk page. Praxidicae (talk) 21:39, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

November 2020 - Last warning

Okay, listen, this is your last warning, and I'm taking the time to type this out manually, so please pay attention. Wikipedia is based on two things - verifiable sources, and collaboration with others. Praxidicae (as well as Diannaa) have removed content you added to Troy Lyndon because it has not been based on verifiable sources. That's not vandalism, it's our normal editing process. Per WP:V, if you want that stuff in the article, you need to find reliable sources that state those things so they can be cited. Otherwise, it stays out. Second, this is a collaborative editing project, which means you have to work with others. Accusing people of "extreme religious prejudice" and similar histrionic nonsense is not an acceptable way to act in a collaborative environment. If you re-revert or make any similar accusations again, I will block you. Clear? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:43, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

November 2020 RESPONSE to 'Last warning'

You cannot just delete half an article on Troy Lyndon, including large sections with citations that have existed for years, and call it an edit. It is vandalism. If you feel justified, then please provide clear justification for each removed sentence, and I will NOT dispute it. I will give you 24 hours to do so, sentence by sentence. Otherwise, I will revert edits of content where citations exist. I have no desire to create conflict, but if you continue to threaten to block me for remaining resolute that the burden of an edit remains with the editor, you in this case, I'll have no other choice but to seek to have you blocked from this page permanently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christophergraham (talk • contribs) 22:00, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk pages request

When an editor asks that you do not post to their Talk page anymore, you're expected to respect that request (except for notifications required by policy). Schazjmd (talk) 22:18, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

UTRS 37007

UTRS appeal #37007 has been declined

I'm sorry, but I cannot unblock you at this time.

TBH, it looks like you've continued the tendentious editing here.

Please describe in greater detail how your editing was unconstructive and how you would edit constructively if unblocked. ( Please read Wikipedia's Guide to appealing blocks for more information. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks) As you still have access to your talk page, please post your unblock request to your user talk page, omitting any off-Wiki personally identifying information. If you have not already done so, please place the following at the bottom of your talk page, filling in "Your reason here "

{{unblock|reason=It seems multiple editors are accusing me of tendentious editing, when I've done nothing more than recognize their deletion of 7000+ as vandalism. See below for a sampling of their vandalism (deletions) from page [[Troy Lyndon]]. Instead of backing off from their vandalism, this group blocked me. See details below. ~~~~}}. 

Thank you for your attention to these matters. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 23:48, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

DESCRIPTION OF TROY LYNDON'S LITIGATION WITH THE SEC WAS VANDALIZED (MOSTLY DELETED) by Dianna

The edit was done as if this editor were a party to the litigation. It has since been reinstated and is in the current document, but the removal of my work that required research reading court documents was wrongly vandalized without any justifiable reason. Oddly, it is the only text that has survived my reverts: On January 27, 2020, Lyndon filed a lawsuit based upon his Federal Tort Claim in Troy Alan Lyndon v. USA, Securities & Exchange Commission, Luccee Kirka, Carol Shau and Karen Matteson. On September 25, 2020, Chief Judge J. Michael Seabright determined that the government and its employees could not be sued for the numerous claims alleged by Lyndon, due to the doctrine of sovereign immunity. The SEC has not denied Lyndon's allegations. The case is currently on appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court as of November 6, 2020.[6].

IN SUMMARY

Please unblock me, and ask the one who blocked me, as well as Praxidicae and Dianna, as I have asked them, to provide evidence to support their position that facts pertaining to Troy Lyndon, a public figure, should be removed while they ignored legitimate citations. Sure, the page/article needs more citations. But that does not provide you with adequate justification to delete 1/2 the article with more than 20 citations. Inform these perpetrators of vandalism that perhaps my method of communicating is that of an editor without EDIT WAR experience, but that I am justified in seeking to research and update facts that cannot be disputed. And therefore, their vagrant removal of facts containing citations without doing any research whatsoever, and their insistence to block me instead of providing worthwhile discussion to justify their edits, is unfair. And accordingly, I should be unblocked and they should be blocked from editing the Troy Lyndon Wikipedia page until such time they are willing to address my fair criticisms of their deletions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christophergraham (talk • contribs) 05:10, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
