Wikipedia:Stop it
This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article or a Wikipedia policy, as it has not been reviewed by the community. |
If someone tells you to stop doing something, stop doing it. They likely have a good reason to tell you to stop, and it is important for you to hear them out so you can avoid getting into deeper trouble.
Why should I?
When someone tells you to stop doing something, that person is probably aggravated by something you have done on Wikipedia, which could be disruptive behavior such as, but not limited to:
- Engaging in edit wars where you repeatedly revert other people's edits, especially if their edits are reversions of your edits
- Wasting contributors' time in discussions by engaging in bludgeoning, sealioning, wikilawyering, or pasting text from AI chatbots
- Uncivil behavior such as making personal attacks, casting aspersions, or threatening to sue others if you don't get your way
- Adding copyrighted text or files to articles in a manner that would not constitute fair use
If you persist in such behavior, you may face any of the following consequences:
- Additional user warning templates and messages on your talk page
- Distrust towards you in the community
- A report against you on one of many administrators' noticeboards here, here, here, here, or here
- A lengthy arbitration case[1]
- Any number of sanctions against you, including blocks and/or bans
- If you're not an administrator yet, but want to be, many oppose !votes may be cast at your requests for adminship nomination.
- However, if after the conflict, you resume editing constructively, these past activities may not be taken into consideration.
- A revocation of administrator rights and tools
There are many other measures possible that the community may think up of; i.e. this list is incomplete.
What should I do then?
Talk constructively at the appropriate talk page and ask appropriately what you're doing wrong and why you should stop. Be sure to be civil and use appropriate etiquette. If consensus can still not be reached, you can take appropriate steps in dispute resolution.
