Hello, I'm SounderBruce. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Greenhaven, Georgia seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SounderBruce 02:24, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to let you know that in your recent contributions, you seemed to act as if you were the owner of a page. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. This means that editors do not own articles, including ones they create, and should respect the work of their fellow contributors. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

I'd like to warn you against edit warring, which is to chain-revert without appropriate discussion. Please do not spam talk pages with duplicate messages. SounderBruce 22:18, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:53, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Duuooker. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at Greenhaven, Georgia shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.

As an aside, it can typically be assumed that experienced editors know and understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, so spelling out definitions of them could be seen as rather condescending. Plus, some of your "definitions" of disruptive editing (such as your most recent) are incorrect. SounderBruce is not being disruptive at all; he is just politely asking you to follow the bold-revert-discuss cycle, because no conflict can be resolved without discussion. I strongly advise you to not comment further at the administrators' noticeboard because the WP:BOOMERANG effect here is potentially large.

In terms of the dispute itself, WP:NPOV emphatically does not mean every viewpoint has to be represented. Far from it, we must cover it in proportion to what reliable sources have said; this is our notion of due weight. Please read Wikipedia:Criticism and, if you are in any way affiliated with the Neighbors Against Greenhaven organization, WP:COI (for what it's worth, it is against the Wikimedia Foundation Terms of Use to edit for pay unless you disclose that relationship clearly on your userpage; see Wikipedia:Paid editing). Please let me know if you have any questions. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:36, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Jasper Deng I am new and it’s continually pointed out to put out for discussion, but SounderBruce never responded on [[Greenhaven, ga|Talk] or my Talk page. Hardly doubt you can come to the conclusion I’m paid.

There are only two viewpoints in sources, pro vs. against. Opposing parties are represented in sources especially more so in the newer more up to date 2017 and 2018 sources. This is a dynamic topic and should be allowed to reflect the most updated information. This won’t win me any favors, but it seems your arguments are being made not on the content but wiki procedures.

Introducing TravelinFool Comment Comment Copyedit (minor)

Hi I'm Kevin Polite, a local real estate investor in Atlanta Georgia I follow politics and have been following Greenhaven, ga and Decatur, ga and DeKalb Georgia It's interesting to watch experienced editors on wiki. Wiki is open sourced and relies on donations and unpaid monitors. It's fascinating. I've seen how it can be used for good the vast majority of the time. I've seen how some, perhaps paid, can use wiki to push their agenda. I don't know how many times I've gone to wiki to find out information and never thought how the sausage is made. I became interested in politics and started going to the state capitol after a tour with Realtors from DeKalb County Wiki, like politics, brings out the good and the not very often, the bad. I've seen how a group can use wiki to present false facts TravelinFool 20:55, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. SounderBruce 06:27, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the information SounderBruce TravelinFool 20:35, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
