May 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page John C. Eastman has been reverted.
Your edit here to John C. Eastman was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=pa.251216677181) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 06:07, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with upload of File:DSC5102.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DSC5102.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 08:06, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jeastman. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article John C. Eastman, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 17:54, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you ignoring the information above concerning your conflict of interest?

@Sundayclose: your warning seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Doug Weller talk 16:50, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021

Your recent editing history at John C. Eastman 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.

Important 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 post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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.

January 2021

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (John C. Eastman) for abuse of editing privileges. You may still edit Talk:John C. Eastman and every other page on Wikipedia apart from the this one.

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 ~~~~}}. Black Kite (talk) 01:47, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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).

Jeastman (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

New to this. I thought minor corrections were supposed to be made on the page itself, and major issues proposed on the talk page. Sorry if I didn't get the protocol right, but what am I supposed to do with obvious errors or biases? Jeastman (talk) 02:05, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

It is apparent that you are the subject of the article. Given your conflict of interest and that you have ignored warnings for more than five years in respect of that, I decline your request. The ability to partial block an editor is a recent introduction, previously such situations would have been handled by a full block. You have free access to the article's talk page, where you may challenge any inaccuracies, suggest improvements to the article etc. Mjroots (talk) 07:51, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.

I've put this in the right place for you. It is not a minor correction when you remove text that is cited to a reliable source (and therefore is not an ovbious error), I'm afraid. Black Kite (talk) 02:07, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request regarding your username

Hi there. I notice that you edit John C. Eastman almost exclusively; as your username is User:Jeastman, this implies that you are John C. Eastman. Wikipedia is very careful in cases when an editor's username matches the name of a well-known, living person, due to the possibility of damaging impersonation.

If you are the person represented by this username, please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org including your real name and your Wikipedia username to receive instructions from our volunteer response team about account verification. Please do not send documentation without being requested to do so.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username. A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. A new username can be acquired by following the directions here.
