collapsing discussions prior to May 2019 block and surrounding circumstances

Sri Lankan presidential election, 2015 You have reverted 3 times now. Any further reverts will result in a block per WP:3RR. If you add the banner back in, add it correctly. You are totally doing it wrong. Hint: It only take one line and less than 20 characters. If you don't know what you are doing, then ask questions. Bgwhite (talk) 07:42, 17 December 2014 (UTC) WTF. What did I say about reverting? As I said in my summary. NO MORE REVERTS. Add in the tag correctly. Bgwhite (talk) 07:51, 17 December 2014 (UTC) There is no need to get angry. If you have something to say it without the profanity --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 08:01, 17 December 2014 (UTC) I said no profanity. This is your last and final warning. Any more reverts, you shall be blocked. You just cannot revert somebody else's contributions and demand they talk when you didn't talk in the first place. You continuing to do blank reverts for pieces you do not like HAS TO STOP!!! Last and final warning. You revert, you will get blocked. Bgwhite (talk) 23:10, 17 December 2014 (UTC) Excuse me, Bg, but I believe that "what the f***" is profanity. May I also point out that you seem to be involved in the edit war yourself? (You have made a total of five reverts today.) It may be best to disengage from this, as using your block button in this situation could easily be seen as violating WP:INVOLVED. --Biblioworm 23:26, 17 December 2014 (UTC) Biblioworm WTF is not profanity. If I said fuck, then that would be profanity. Same goes for snafu and fubar/foobar. Eng.M.Bandara was reverting and not talking. They reverted because I removed an improperly added tag. That is not a reason to revert. They again reverted a HUGE addition because some of their stuff was removed. This is again not a reason to revert. Eng.M.Bandara said the other person should should talk if they removed Eng.M.Bandara's edit, but Eng.M.Bandara has no such problems reverting and not talking. Once again, Eng.M.Bandara has reverted without talking. They are now blocked 48 hours. Until Eng.M.Bandara learns that reverting everybody's edit is not acceptable, they will continue to be blocked. I have no stake in the article and could care less. I do care about reliable references being used and using the revert button instead of talking. Note, this is not there only problem. They created E04 expressway (Sri Lanka) with made up and contradictory information. No references were given. The article is up for AfD. I said keep, but removed most of the info from the article. I asked another editor that deals with Sri Lanka to take a look and they have been adding information back in with references. Bgwhite (talk) 08:06, 18 December 2014 (UTC) If you see the talk page on the article, and other users talk page, I have made plenty of attempts to discuss well prior to my reverts. ----Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 08:16, 18 December 2014 (UTC) Two sentences and an accusation to Obi2canibe's message is not attempts. You didn't talk before your reverted, only when Obi2canibe talked. People do not do Wikipedia full-time and live in other time zones. You cannot quickly revert a few hours after you make a two sentence reply. Bgwhite (talk) 08:33, 18 December 2014 (UTC) You are firstly involved in the dispute regardless of your position on the matter, and secondly the fact that you do not care about the issues shows you have no understanding of the dispute, despite involving yourself in it. Allowing Obi2caibe to remove well sourced and referenced material, in article in which weight is already significantly in favor of one side is not at all acceptable. Also his "HUGE" contribution as you described further tilted balance of the article towards a particular view. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 08:40, 18 December 2014 (UTC) You need to start looking at your actions and not accusing others. Also his "HUGE" contribution as you described further tilted balance of the article towards a particular view.... that is the first time you have brought it up. "YOU reverted without talking. YOU only seem it is fair to remove other people's work without talking, but they can't yours. Obi2caibe didn't revert... YOU did. You had two choices, add back in your material or talk. Reverting was not an option. Wikipedia is a collaboration and you fail to understand that. You fail to understand you just cannot revert.

M.Bandara-Talk 7:39 am, Today (UTC+0) Decline reason: At this time I am declining your unblock request - were I to undo the block on procedural grounds (which I'm not at all convinced would be justified; Bgwhite has explained his reasoning to me and I find his points to be highly cogent) I would simply reapply it immediately on my own authority. However, I would be willing to unblock you on the condition that you agree to stop reverting the article, and to restrict your edits to the talkpage until a clear consensus emerges (you would be welcome to file an RFC, 3O request or other DR process to achieve this if you wished).

Eng.M.Bandara (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: I didn't see the socket puppet investigation about me. Also You should be aware that the username is a very common name in Sri lanka, and it is not unlikely for both editors to be editing sri lanka related articles. If I have been disruptive, this is not appropriate forum to bring that up, and also the allegation of disruption is in bad faith. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 05:02, 24 December 2014 (UTC) Decline reason: The similar editing area, similar username, similar behaviour and your early engagement in a not well known area WP:Peer review suggest very strongly that this account is a sock puppet.

M.Bandara-Talk 05:51, 25 December 2014 (UTC) {{unblock|@PhilKnight, I have already said I have not, and that username is an actual name, not just a username.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles. Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Karunasena Hettiarachchi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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. Savonneux (talk) 05:24, 23 August 2016 (UTC) Proposed deletion of Karunasena Hettiarachchi The article Karunasena Hettiarachchi has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no reliable references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. noq (talk) 07:54, 23 August 2016 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of File:Karunasena Hettiarachchi.jpg A tag has been placed on File:Karunasena Hettiarachchi.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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. Dan arndt (talk) 05:38, 24 August 2016 (UTC) Proposed deletion of Karunasena Hettiarachchi The article Karunasena Hettiarachchi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: Fails to establish notability, in accordance with WP:ANYBIO. The only fact is that he is Secretary to the Ministry of Defence, which is insufficient to establish notability. Dan arndt (talk) 13:45, 5 September 2016 (UTC) While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dan arndt (talk) 13:45, 5 September 2016 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Sri Lanka Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Sri Lanka you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria.

Wikipedia editor Abishe just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you: I have just reviewed your article and I thank you for creating this article by addressing issues relating to SAITM.

May 2019

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to University of North Carolina at Charlotte shooting, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Specifically, if you want assistance in how the community interprets Wikipedia policy, then I suggest reading the policies themselves. Thank you. ——SerialNumber54129 11:14, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

@Serial Number 54129: I think your speedy closure of my nomination was uncalled for. We already have a list for school shootings in the United States, I don't think an independent article for each and everyone is justified. Others have expressed a similar view elsewhere on Wikipedia, and you didn't give them an opportunity to be their arguments forward, the discussion should have been allowed to run its course. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 22:06, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

There’s no point in letting a deletion debate “run its course” if it snowball’s chance in hell of succeeding. And if you look at List of school shootings in the United States you will see that by no means is there an article on each and every one. It is decided on a case-by-case basis according to the genersl notability guideline, which this article clearly passes. Pawnkingthree (talk) 17:48, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Talk:STEM School Highlands Ranch, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Drmies (talk) 00:54, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Drmies How does my Rfc constitute disruptive editing? I will take this to the ANI, you're harassing me. Take your warning back and reinstate my RfC immediately --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 00:59, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Ahem, no I'm warning you. Go ahead and take it to ANI. But don't harass me while doing so please! Drmies (talk) 01:00, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

@Eng.M.Bandara: If you do this [1] again, I will block you for disruption. You don't get to control the discussion you opened. By the way, "homeslice" isn't an insult, but I redacted it anyway, since it could be misconstrued. Acroterion (talk)

Mr. (I presume) Bandara: I would like to offer my sincere thanks for your dropping of the stick with regard to this matter. I think you do reach the right conclusions, though I think that, like me, your knee jerk responses can be sub-optimal. I understand the instinct to counter-punch online, but I would respectfully suggest that taking a few minutes before publishing a submission can do wonders. Obviously, this is just unsolicited advice, but I really do wish you the best. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 00:50, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Acroterion (talk) 02:46, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

You appear to be moving toward another problem with your approach to other editors at Talk:STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting. Please stop treating every discussion at that talkpage as a battle, and please remember that WP:BLP is policy. Gender identity is one topic that must be handled carefully, especially when the subject isn't a public figure and whose personal circumstances are ambiguous and poorly researched.

Hell in a Bucket under what grounds? --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 04:13, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making highly provocational statements, after already making sexist comments very recently. I think you have exhausted the community's patience.

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 ~~~~}}.

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).

Request reason:

Blocking admin INVOLVED, discussion at ANI still underway, I am seeking review to allow ANI to countinue. I had apologised for the comments made to the user and removed it myself in less 3 minutes, it was already subject or previous ANI and dealt with. I have nothing to do with how the admin feels to be " provocational statements" I was expressing my opinion on what I felt as the arbitrary application of WP:BLP at the discussion. I never disruptively edited any articles, this is clear from my recent contribution at 2019 Sri Lanka Easter bombings. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 04:52, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

El_C was not in a dispute with you, and therefore was not involved. "Uninvolved" does not require that the admin has literally never interacted with you. In any event, one other administrator has stated that he would have blocked you if El_C had not, and I would have done the same. So even if you hypothetically succeed in arguing involved, it makes no difference. Simply put, you are toxic, and no one should have to deal with you while trying to build an encyclopedia. Someguy1221 (talk) 05:06, 15 May 2019 (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.

That is plainly false. I am an uninvolved admin that just happened on that ANI report. El_C 04:57, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

El_C Sorry, I thought you were involved at the previous ANI. However, I still think that the current ANI should be allowed to continue for further consensus. In regards to the indefinite block, I have made substantial contributions to Wikipedia, I personally do think this block is unjustified when I was expressing my opinion. I didn't vandalise or disruptively edit any articles. Let me put it another way, how would like me to 'adjust' my behaviour to contribute to Wikipedia positively. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 05:02, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

The 18th century is ====> thataway. Until you find the 21st century on your moral compass I'd suggest it logical to assume you won't be welcomed back. In most cases, indefinite does not mean infinite. This may be an exception. El_C or whatever admin rejects the unblock request, please revoke TPS. WP:UTRS can deal with this troglodyte. Seeing him (?, as no self respecting man could possibly think that way) spew excuses makes me want to puke. John from Idegon (talk) 05:11, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't see room for adjustment at this time. El_C 05:12, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Unjustified block for a long term contributor to Wikipedia. Also, an indefinite block is only justified for cases of persistent long term abuse. --Eng. M.Bandara-Talk 05:12, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

• (edit conflict) I commented just as the ANI was being closed, and I left what I'd written directly below. To reiterate what I said there, I support a block because the attitudes that you've expressed are regressive and incompatible with the norms of our community. We welcome a variety of different viewpoints on Wikipedia, but one thing we cannot and will not tolerate is casual sexism or misogyny. Wikipedia already has a less-than-hospitable editing environment for women; we don't need to allow the situation to become even more problematic. If what you say is really what you believe, then I strongly advise that you take the time to examine what the underlying causes of your prejudices towards women may be. Come back to us only after you've done so. Kurtis ^(talk) 05:43, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

• If it is not clear, unless you are willing to accept that rape is rape and quit with the victim-bashing, you are not welcome to edit Wikipedia. You are not welcome to any community with such a detrimental mindset. You are replaceable. But I do understand, the mindset might be a product of the environment we are used to. I have added a few links that you might read to inform yourself.

• This article elucidates why people blame victims
• This article explains why victims don't come forward soon, if ever

Hope you will dedicate yourself to learning better. --qedk (t 桜 c) 08:00, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
