Welcome to Wikipedia. Please refrain from changing any additional links from Penn State child sex abuse scandal to Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, as the links are intended to point to the page, and when named Sandusky child ..., they do not work. If you would like to start a discussion about possibly renaming the article, you may do so at Talk:Penn State child sex abuse scandal by clicking "new section", and then explaining the reasoning for such a renaming. Thank you for your interest in editing Wikipedia, and please do not hesitate to let me know should you have any questions at my talk page. Happy editing!

Knock it off. I have given you a very polite warning once, consider this your final warning. After this, changing the article titles will result in either a report to the administrators' noticeboard for incidents or to administrators' intervention against vandalism. Again, if you need help, please let me know, but stop being disruptive. Thanks - Go Phightins! 19:20, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, any further edits that change the link to the Penn State child sex abuse scandal will be grounds for your account to be blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 20:09, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the "sandbox" rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

{{Admin help}}I need help because I am being threatened by certain individuals for making a factual edit. Thank You

I am being threatened for making a factual edit. Please advise as to whom I report this to. Thank you for your consideration.

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please replace the code {{admin help-helped}} on this page with {{admin help}}, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I am being threatened for making a factual edit. Please advise to whom I can report the user names of two indiviual that are making the threats. Thank you for your considertion.

You are not being threatened for making a factual edit. Consensus emerged, through discussion at Talk:Penn State child sex abuse scandal, to use that as the title, not the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. You have repeatedly changed text, in multiple articles, that affects the name of the article. Further, your changes have broken links in the related articles.

You refused, up until now, to discuss your edits; that's why they've been dealt with as if they are disruptive. When you refused to engage in discussion, the only option we had left was to block your account. (To that end, it was not a threat that your account would be blocked so much as a warning that more such edits would leave no alternative but to block your account to prevent further disruption to articles.)

If you'd like to ask further questions about the policies involved here, I'll be glad to reply. If you'd prefer to get advice from another administrator or user, you can do that as well. Let me know. —C.Fred (talk) 20:56, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)You should make your case and explain your edits in the discussion at the administrators' notice-board. The link is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Stjohn2001 disruption on Penn State football season articles.

Please read WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle to understand how Wikipedia works. If there is disagreement about an edit, it should be discussed on the article talk page, with the aim of reaching a WP:Consensus; if that fails, there are WP:Dispute resolution procedures. What you should not do is edit-war - repeat an edit without discussion after others have reverted it or otherwise expressed disagreement. JohnCD (talk) 21:02, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re the following message you left at my user talk page:

Can you please explain why I am incorrect to say that it is a Sandusky Child Sex Abuse Scandal, when he (an ex-employee of Penn State when the crimes occurred) is the only person that has been convicted in a court of law of a crime. No one else from Penn State University, I repeat no one, has been convicted of a crime has so far, as of this date. Is it not our principles that say you are innocent until proven guilty? Has an employee of Penn State committed any crime? Three PSU empolyees are charged, but until they are found guilty is it fair to call it a "Penn State child Sex Abuse Scandal?" How can one call it a Penn State Sex Abuse Scandal and besmirch a whole university based on the actions of "one ex-employee?"

No one has been convicted of a crime, but the Freeh Report but the blame squarely on four top officials at PSU. One of them is now dead, so it's impossible for him to be convicted of a crime. The president of the university resigned his post and was indicted by a federal grand jury; that case hasn't gone to trial yet. That's why the scope of the scandal has been deemed to go beyond just Sandusky and cover the entire university, and that's one reason why the university is named in the title of the article. The other reason is that, in common usage, the media refers to the scandal as the Penn State scandal more than the Jerry Sandusky scandal; Wikipedia prefers the most commonly recognizable name for the article title. —C.Fred (talk) 21:08, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Penn State 2009 Football

Hello Stjohn2001,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Penn State 2009 Football for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Tco03displays (talk) 21:45, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
