Your recent editing history at Field hockey shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. 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. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.
If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. 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. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Courcelles 21:14, 20 January 2012 (UTC)- If you were not an admin, I would have pulled your rollback ability for this incident, as you have greatly misused the rollback tool. Courcelles 21:17, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
I was discussing the content dispute with the editor who had disrupted the consensus. If you block Admins for this, then I might as well resign and give up. Your choice. Ian Cairns (talk) 21:18, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Decline reason:
The issue is that you were blatantly edit-warring with rollback. Note that diva-ish threats to retire do not help unblock requests.
Please also see WP:H—it is not appropriate to refer to the other edit warrior's edits as vandalism. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:28, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
If you wish to declare hockey = Ice Hockey, then fine. Hockey used to be dependent on the dominant usage. Ian Cairns (talk) 21:18, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- You made four reverts, you grossly misused rollback (and I remind you that WP:ROLLBACK says that in case of repeated misuse, ArbCom may revoke someone's adminship, as the only way to remove rollback from an admin is a desysop, so this mis-use of your administrator access), and declared without basis that another editor was vandalizing. Any editor would have gotten blocked for what you did, and that you're an admin has zero meaning in cases of WP:3RR violations. Possessing admin access is not diplomatic immunity. Courcelles 21:26, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Sadly, I cannot clear my username. I have no wish to be part of this. There was a consensus. An editor changed the consensus. I reverted. I was blocked. I was prevented from cvlearing my username. Ian Cairns (talk) 21:28, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- PS: I said the user was vandalising above - no-one disagreed. No-one is supporting my position - I want out. Ian Cairns (talk) 21:30, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- I am no diva - goodnight. Ian Cairns (talk) 21:31, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Good grief, getting blocked for edit warring is not the end of the world. Just avoid edit warring in the future, and nobody will really care. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:32, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- The user broke existing consensus - I reverted. He had me blocked. No-one believed me. Goodnight. The moment I can edit my user page again, I will clear and exit. I have no wish to be part of this. I am no diva. I am real. Ian Cairns (talk) 21:35, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Could any admin reading this please unprotect my user page, and I will remove myself, as mentioned above. Thanks, Ian Cairns (talk) 21:51, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Regarding WP:DIVA and WP:Hitler, please can I refer you to my user page User:Icairns where I hope I assured the world that I was not stuck up. Any assertion to the contrary needs proof. Ian Cairns (talk) 21:54, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- The user is obviously in North America, where "hockey" generally refers to ice hockey; it was extremely naive, to put it mildly, to assume that this must be the case the world over, but people sometimes do stupid things. I can't deny that your handling of the ridiculous edit left a lot to be desired, but it would be a great shame if you were to quit over something that could be so easily resolved by discussion. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:58, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments - I thought so too. However, it seems that Wiki rules work in mysterious ways. Maybe I could have handled it better - If I had an indefinite amount of time, I could have handled many things better than I may have. I accept your characterisation of the user's editing - it concurs with my description of my documented motivation to correct the issues raised. However, this was not enough to prevent me being blocked. Maybe my vision of an Anglo-American WP future is short-sighted; maybe Wikipedia is becoming North American because of the overwhelming numbers. If so, I am in the wrong place. I need out. I insist that I am no diva. I have been 110% committed to the WP ideal - until now. I appreciate your support above - but you are now in a smaller community of WP editors. Ian Cairns (talk) 22:15, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Please note that user Icairns, with the above "blot" on his editing record, will not be re-joining Wikipedia. As soon as I am able to edit again, I will resign / withdraw. I do not take lightly to walking away from 7-8 yrs editing (and a 25/0/0/ admin vote) - but I will not stand accused of failing to engage an errant user in content dispute discussions when I clearly did so. Others may think this a 'not the end of the world' matter, but I do. Ian Cairns (talk) 23:49, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

(award details) - I would like to use this opportunity to thank User:Icairns for his fine contributions to Wikipedia over the years and welcome him to the contributors that got a little heated club and allegedly made that caring extra revert. Many thanks for all your work here. Respect and best wishes to you from Youreallycan 21:40, 20 January 2012 (UTC) |
- I'd like to apologise to anyone who followed my career in Wikipedia - I actually cared. It saddens me that we are now going to get a Canadian-centric view of Hockey going forward. I played hockey (=field hockey for any Canadians listening) for over 25 yrs. There was a consensus that we would call / use "hockey" for the dominant form in each particular country. It is now de facto = ice hockey. This isn't the Wikipedia I joined. Good luck everyone! Ian Cairns (talk) 21:44, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- I've attempted to resign on the Bureaucrats' noticeboards, but am currently prevented. I will do so when next enabled or if anyone wishes to edit the board on my behalf. Thanks, 22:00, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Genealogics templates
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Template:Genealogics photo and Template:Genealogics descent requesting that they be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because they are deprecated or orphaned templates. After seven days, if they are still unused and the speedy deletion tags have not been removed, the templates will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>
).
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. DrKiernan (talk) 11:53, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Notice of change
[edit]Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:SGSbadge.png)
[edit] Thanks for uploading File:SGSbadge.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 19:34, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Dilly Braimoh
[edit]Hello Icairns, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Dilly Braimoh, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dilly Braimoh (2nd nomination).
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Velella}}
