You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war, according to the reverts you've made to Evie MacDonald. This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected to collaborate with others, avoid editing disruptively, and try to reach a consensus – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.

Important points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive behavior – regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.

You need to discuss the disagreement on the article's talk page and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution if discussions reach an impasse. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to engage in edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. Note also that per WP:BLPRESTORE, material removed on BLP grounds must not be restored without consensus.

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Evie MacDonald, you may be blocked from editing. Launchballer 22:33, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Evie MacDonald. Launchballer 00:38, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make a disruptive edit to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Klisurica (Vranje). Hamimh2 (talk) 00:14, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

STOP adding irrelevant images in artices you have no understanding, as you did in Rhadinosaurus, Da Ponte, 2018 in Namibia, and many other pages. This is a disruption of Wikipedia and you will be blocked from editing. --Altenmann >talk 22:58, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then submit a request through the unblock wizard or through your talk page.  The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 01:16, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

To be unblocked, you need to demonstrate and confirm that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia.

2. Copy three or four paragraphs of the article that you want to improve.
   • Do not copy the infobox ({{infobox name|...}}).
   • Do not copy any images or files ([[File:Name.jpg|thumb|caption]]).
   • Do not copy the article's categories from the bottom of the page ([[Category:Name]]).
   • Do not copy the stub tag ({{Topic name stub}}).
3. Click edit on your talk page and create a new section using this format: == [[Article title]] ==. Paste the text that you copied underneath. Do not save yet.
4. Place {{reflist-talk}} at the end of the copied text.
5. Place your cursor in the edit summary box and create an edit summary in the following format: Copied content from [[Name of Article]]; see that article's history for attribution.

Thank you! Waterbearboogers (talk) 21:57, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

I would find reputable sources such as a New York Times Article or a University of Palestine paper (I have added these in the past to Mariama. J. Lockington and Amna Al-Salmi, respectively, both articles I have created). I would also find a relevant image through the Creative Commons Portal and upload it to the subsequent article, which would be a topic I have personal knowledge of and interest in (but no personal connection to). I might also do suggested edits. I will take my time and think it out. If applicable and necessary, I will review the BLP policy or get help from the BERT model, for copy editing and tone correction.Waterbearboogers (talk) 21:17, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

MPGuy2824 (talk)Just a follow up to my unblock request, thanks! Waterbearboogers (talk) 03:27, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

I was looking for something specific and concrete like "In paragraph W of article X, I would add sentence Y with reference Z". -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:09, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

in paragraph 1 of the article for Mary Lambert, I would add that she has received the Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award and SAMHSA Special Recognition Award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for her work on destigmatizing mental illness. She has also been invited to speak at the UN. The reference would be https://marylambertsings.com/press/. I would also include that she picked her Essence of Australia dress for her wedding in Okland, Maine to Wyatt Paige Hermansen, her partner of four years, on an episode of Say Yes to the Dress. https://people.com/music/mary-lambert-is-married-same-love-singer-and-wyatt-paige-hermansen-say-i-do/ Waterbearboogers (talk) 21:39, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

MPGuy2824 (talk)Just another follow-up, thanks Waterbearboogers (talk) 18:29, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

I would consider the facts about her wedding dress and the UN invitation as fluff/trivia, but I don't usually review articles about musicians, so I'll ignore that. The other fact (awards) needs a secondary source; the ref you've provided is from her website. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:15, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Here would be a non-primary source: https://musicwire.popfiltr.com/news/grammy-nominated-mary-lambert-returns-the-tempest Waterbearboogers (talk) 16:46, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

MPGuy2824 (talk) my mistake, here would be a non-primary source: https://musicwire.popfiltr.com/news/grammy-nominated-mary-lambert-returns-the-tempestWaterbearboogers (talk) 16:48, 30 May 2026 (UTC) Waterbearboogers (talk) 16:48, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

This is what we consider a PR source (see their home page). They seem to publish press releases which are provided by the artists themselves. This too would be considered a primary source. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:41, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

That looks mostly like a copy of https://marylambertsings.com/press/. I suggest that you start over with a new page ideally in a different field. Since, I've responded a few times to this unblock request, I'll leave it for another admin to assess. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:41, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Mariama J. Lockington moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Mariama J. Lockington. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because of the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mariama J. Lockington. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Star Mississippi 14:57, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

DYK for Evie MacDonald

On 10 June 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Evie MacDonald, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a campaign by Evie MacDonald and her family helped to stop minors like her needing a family court to access gender-affirming care? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Evie MacDonald. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Evie MacDonald), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

Lucy Dacus

Copied Content

On October 8, 2024, Dacus was a surprise opener for a makeup Julien Baker show at New York City's Brooklyn Steel, where she performed an untitled new song, now known as "Best Guess", on International Lesbian Day.

On October 8, 2025, Dacus announced a Forever is a Feeling companion album featuring alternate versions, live recordings, and bonus tracks set to release on October 10. The companion album will have a digital release and a vinyl with two exclusive tracks.

Dacus was raised Christian but is no longer religious. She attended a nondeminational Baptist church in her youth. Although she has stated that she still routinely "thinks about God", she has expressed disgust towards religion in politics, and towards what she perceives as religion being used as an excuse to mistreat people. She is queer. Dacus lived in Richmond, Virginia until late 2019, and Philadelphia until 2023. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her partner, fellow Boygenius bandmate Julien Baker.
