American Airlines Flight 1420

Hi Why can't I edit Userpedia?, Thanks for fixing the figures in the infobox. We usually don't include types of injuries in them however. - Samf4u (talk) 14:09, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

April 2020

Hi Why can't I edit Userpedia?, Thanks for you contributions to WP. I hope you don't feel as though I'm picking on you by reverting some of your edits. There is lot's to learn here editing, and as you continue the pieces should fall in to place for you. Best of luck, - Samf4u (talk) 23:31, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Lion Air Flight 610. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. WikiHannibal (talk) 20:32, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Uh, how is that vandalism? I added in true information. There were no injuries and 190 fatalities-it is not like I added in false information in that article. Why can't I edit Userpedia? (talk) 21:57, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, sorry, but how come "190 fatalities (+1 rescue diver)"? In the Passengers and crew section, the article says 189 in total; the infobox says 181 passengers, 8 crew, totaling 189. The infobox also mentions the diver who died in connection with the rescue. By changing just the number (189 to 190) and leaving the rest of the text as it was, you added incorrect information. Also such edit is not a minor one. So it looks like vandalism. A possible solution would be: "Fatalities: 190 (including 1 rescue diver)" but I think the current version is better, as it reflects info in the Passengers and crew section more directly. WikiHannibal (talk) 07:51, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

I am still not sure if it counts as vandalism-adding in false information does not simply mean that it is vandalism. Also, note than the edit that I made was not intentional. However, I think I can understand more clearly. Why can't I edit Userpedia? (talk) 15:02, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Edit for the 1972 Sacramento Canadair Sabre Accident

I meant to put in an edit summary in there, but my fingers slipped. Anyway, I made the ground casualties separate from the pilot himself. Why can't I edit Userpedia? (talk) 16:19, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

June 2020

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Western Airlines Flight 2605, you may be blocked from editing. WikiHannibal (talk) 07:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Why can't I edit Userpedia?! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. WikiHannibal (talk) 08:00, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

I have just provided the source for my edit. However, I think that a warning is a bit too harsh, as I was warned about disruptive editing only once before that edit. Also, I have a ton of helpful contributions. Given that I was reminded about disruptive editing only once or twice, and the fact that it was in intervals (it is not like I made three disruptive edits in a single day, it was spread out over months), may I appeal this warning? Thank you. Why can't I edit Userpedia? (talk) 18:43, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, you do not have to appeal warnings. You had your first warning in March, your second in April, and now your third in June. Given your edit history, I doubt you would be blocked after your potential 4th warning. Each "case" is reviewed indivudually. But that does not mean you should continue to add unsourced information or mark edits as minor when you seem not to understand the difference (for example, here you added the cause of the crash but no burst is mentioned in the article, so it looks like WP:OR and is not, I believe, a minor edit). The number of edits is commendable but, on the other hand, makes mistakes/original research/unsourced addtions harder to spot. Just be more careful and read the policies linked from the warnings (and perhaps some others), or ask for help at the teahouse, for example. WikiHannibal (talk) 20:12, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Not trying to be rude or make you feel bad, but after looking at your talk page, I don't feel so bad about my warnings. It looks like you have gotten just as many warnings (if not more) as I have. Not everyone's perfect here, but we all try to be constructive. :) Why can't I edit Userpedia? (talk) 19:08, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
