User talk:Moriarty.L

Hello, I'm TheGeneralUser. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Monash University without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, TheGeneralUser (talk) 13:34, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm 76.248.149.47. I noticed that you recently removed some content without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 76.248.149.47 (talk) 13:19, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Looks like you might be using several accounts for this, which is why I'm asking for page protection. 76.248.149.47 (talk) 13:24, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at University of Melbourne shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 13:37, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for the templated message above. However, you have now broken the three-revert rule at the University of Melbourne article, and if you make further reverts, I feel that administrative action would be necessary. Please consider this an official warning - if you make another revert at University of Melbourne without discussing your changes on the talk page and coming to a consensus, I will block you from editing for a period of time at my discretion. Let me know if you have any questions about this. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 13:40, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 76.248.149.47 (talk) 14:01, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for persistently infringing copyright, despite numerous warnings. You have recently added content to articles which has previously been published in various places, including http://www.australianuniversities.com.au/info/4/melbourne/, http://www.topinstitutes.org/2011/10/25/university-of-melbourne/, http://joining.unimelb.edu.au/about/history, etc. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted, as you did at University of Melbourne. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 06:40, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, you reinstated this text to the article, which was copied from the undergraduate prospectus, p.13, after it was previously removed. During your two-week block I highly encourage you to familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's copyright policy. (You may also wish to read the copyright FAQ.)
