August 2018[edit]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to British nationalism, 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. King Arthur article states that he waged war against the Picts and the Scots, which is inconsistent with your edits. Also, facebook post links, which is generally discouraged.

Hello, I'm Mutt Lunker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Lothian, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:25, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings,

The northern extent of Gododdin/Lothian from the Marches to the Forth-Clyde Valley is well-known information but here is a source demonstrating it:

https://books.google.com.au/books?id=ZmIYAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA154&lpg=PA154&dq=justiciar+of+lothian+forth+clyde&source=bl&ots=_eC49hlwWR&sig=ACfU3U3q2-YWO64XIuBBcFJYbjElaQEHZg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi99OWKt4DnAhXe63MBHUoLBqIQ6AEwA3oECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=justiciar%20of%20lothian%20forth%20clyde&f=false

It is significant to note that this source discusses the Province of Lothian (aka. the Under-Under-Kingdom of Gododdin) at an earlier time before Galloway had been made into a Province of its own.

Approximately the area of Lancashire & Durham are actually also part of Goddodin; however the Magna Carta's Scottish section had the effect of settling the border at the Marches.

203.142.136.254 (talk) 11:17, 13 January 2020 (UTC)203.142.136.254[reply]

I am at a loss to find a passage in that source which discusses, let alone supports your edit that "Historically, the term Lothian referred to a Province encompassing all of southern Scotland below Forth-Clyde Valley: the jurisdiction of the Justiciar of Lothian". Please highlight it if there is one. Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:08, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, as you did at User talk:Mutt Lunker, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Doug Weller talk 14:23, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Page 154; paragraph 3. 203.142.136.254 (talk) 15:15, 14 January 2020 (UTC)203.142.136.254[reply]

Does not say anything close to that. Mutt Lunker (talk) 15:36, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It discusses exactly that! The facts are staring you in the face mate 203.142.136.254 (talk) 15:40, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That paragraph has the word "Lothian" in it and the term "Justiciar of Lothian". None of the rest of what you have said is even discussed. If you believe that it does, highlight the sentence or sentences in question. 15:45, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

"This distinction continued several ages, and has not indeed altogether disappeared at the present day. Thus we are told, in the reign of Alexander, there was a Justiciar of *Scotland* & a Justiciar of *Lothian*. The limits of Scotland, in the 12th century, were still the Firths of Clyde & Forth. In Renfrewshire there is a proverb, *out* of Scotland into *Largs*; the Clyde being the southern boundary. In early ages, whoever crossed the Firth, and landed on the opposite shore, went out of Scotland into Largs." 203.142.136.254 (talk) 15:50, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph discusses various parts of what is now Scotland, one of them being Lothian, and states that they were not in this period regarded as being Scotland. It does not say that together they were consolidated and formed one entity (called Lothian or Largs or anything). That's all. What you have claimed is something entirely different and in no way supported. Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:22, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not trying to say the Province of Lothian/Principality of the Cumbrians was called Largs; Largs just happens to be a prominent port on the Clyde within the Province of Lothian/Principality of the Cumbrians and so the arrivals to the Port from the Duchy of Albany (jurisdiction of the Justiciar of Scotland/Scotia) were said to have left Scotland upon arrival in Lothian.

The article clearly states that the Justiciar of Lothian's jurisdiction had its northern boundary at the Clyde-Forth and that it covered what could be retained by the northerners of the Principality of the Cumbrians. The terms "Province of Lothian" & "Principality of the Cumbrians" (the former is part of the latter actually) are also referred to on several other Wikipedia pages as being the jurisdiction of the Justiciar of Lothian. At the time; there was no Justiciar of Galloway because the Galloway jurisdiction was later carved out of the Province of Lothian/Principality of the Cumbrians. 203.142.136.254 (talk) 18:28, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Lothian; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:58, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are the person who is vandalising my evidenced edits; you are biased towards your own side and therefore not fit to make this call. This also constitutes bullying behaviour and should not be tolerated by Wikipedia.203.142.136.254 (talk) 13:14, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Using an article talk page to attack another editor after warning was a bad idea[edit]

If not by me, someone else. If you have a dispute over sources, go to WP:RSN. If you think the sources don't support the added text, go to WP:NOR. If you think another editor should be sanctioned, go go WP:ANI. But don't use the article talk page. Doug Weller talk 13:49, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand; these are sources of action that must be considered by someone. I don't have time for this currently though. I must question the validity of the "Warnings" against me due to his waging an Edit War against me (falsely blaming me for it) and therefore his bias should render him unfit for judgement on these matters. I must also question why Matt Lunker is being allowed to use the Article Talk page to attack me in the first place when he is issuing biased Warnings and in violation of the Common Law? Matt Lunker was the very person who insisted I talk on the Article Talk page instead of on my page. I talked on my page but he stopped replying. He specifically addressed it all to me on the Article Talk before I had even first visited the Article Talk; shouldn't his rhetoric be addressing the facts instead of addressing me? His argument is laden with fallacies such as Ad Hominem.203.142.136.254 (talk) 14:00, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:53, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It absolutely isn't original research, it isn't my personal analysis, it isn't unpublished information: evidence has been provided stating exactly what is written. These claims made against the edits have already been demonstrated to be "your theory".203.142.136.254 (talk) 09:53, 2 March 2020 (UTC) \Note that I first blocked you from Lothian and its talk page, but when I saw that meanwhile you were making the same attacks at another talk page, changed it to a sitewide block. The next one will be much longer if you don't stop. Doug Weller talk 17:13, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My bad. I didn't notice that you were WP:Hounding by going to a page not edited since June 2018 to attack the same editor. Maybe a 3 months vacation will see you more willing to work collegially when you return. Doug Weller talk 17:19, 2 March 2020 (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).

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

Request reason:

I dispute these fallacious allegations of "personal attacks" and insist these accusations remain totally unproven; if they are proven then where is the proof? If anything; I have been personally attacked all along. Btw the debate on that other page edited is the same debate on that page as is ocurring at Lothian. 203.142.136.254 (talk) 17:25, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

With no effort at all, I found this edit as one of the problematic ones. In particular, I also see that Doug's claim is correct, that page had indeed not been edited since June of 2018. The block therefore appears legitimate. You are free to contest it again; WP:GAB explains how to craft a reasonable unblock request. Yamla (talk) 17:57, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
