Final warning

Ranze, we have repeatedly had the same discussions revolving around similar topics to the point where I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. If you continue to edit war, create numerous bad redirects, refuse to WP:DROPTHESTICK on the championship dispute despite overwhelming consensus against you, or add something you heard on commentary without a reliable source I will bring this to WP:ANI and seek a topic ban for professional wrestling articles. You've been warned again and again but that has had no effect.LM2000 (talk) 22:59, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

@LM2000: wow, those are lot of crappy new re-directs. ^{(talk page stalker)} CrashUnderride 09:54, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

@LM2000: you are clearly stalking my edits looking back far for things to pick at, @Crash Underride: is posting an inaccuracy about me calling them "new" redirects, as I created:

• Big E Jackson in January 2013
• Rybotch in May 2013
• Dawn of the Altitude Era in June 2015
• The Man That Mother Nature Forgot To Make Good-Looking in December 2015

Crash I request you use more polite language when feeling the need to back up criticsm of me, 'crappy' is not constructive. Ranze (talk) 02:17, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm not constructive? And also, they are new as far as I know. I've never seen them before. I'll be happy to be more "constructive" once you start creating re-directs and adding "nicknames" to articles that aren't actual nicknames but one-off comments, because those aren't constructive either. ^{(talk page stalker)} CrashUnderride 02:22, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@Crash Underride: redirects are not solely for recurring nicknames, redirects are cheap so I don't see what is wrong for using them for things which we have verified refer to the wrestler but which we may not agree to put under a nicknames list. I think it is constructive to put names that refer to a wrestler, because the less well known a name is, the more likely people will need help knowing who to associate it with. Ranze (talk) 02:31, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Consensus is that these redirects are not constructive. I again ask you to make sure that these are useful redirects before creating them. Something somebody said one time on TV has been deemed to not fit this criteria. Somebody has to type these things into the search bar in order for them to be useful.LM2000 (talk) 02:53, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@LM2000: you managing to get lucky with a bunch of deletionists convincing an admin to delete 3 nicknames doesn't mean you achieved some kind of new policy which gives you default consensus on the contructiveness of any new nickname redirect which you want to target for destruction. What A Rush this must be for you. These ARE mostly useful redirects. Deemed? You and a minority of people deeming a couple names doesn't give you cart blanche to decide all future names, and digging up 3-year-old creations as if my making them is going to make it seem like I'm actively disrupting now is pretty silly. Ranze (talk) 03:07, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

You edit warred on Charlotte (wrestler) over a nickname two weeks ago. You created useless redirects to The New Day (wrestling) and Stephanie McMahon one week ago. This fits a pattern of behavior that goes back years.LM2000 (talk) 03:10, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Lest we forget the Iron Man of the WWE re-direct to Dean Ambrose or the Radical Mongoose re-direct to Adam Rose, something he referred to himself as once. These re-directs are not constructive. It's clear Ranze has no interest in being constructive here. All they want to do is include every, single, little piece of information they can. Basically have a play-by-play of wrestlers careers. Something that Wikipedia is not. I'm gonna be honest and say this right here where LM2000 and any other user can see it, I refuse to WP:AGF with Ranze any longer. They have lost that right with their clear pattern of behavior of the months with these re-directs and inclusion of one off jokes or references as nicknames. This needs to stop once and for all. ^{(talk page stalker)} CrashUnderride 03:23, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Funny you bring that up Crash, Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2016_February_5#Radical_Mongoose resulted in KEEP. Ranze (talk) 03:34, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Honestly, I didn't even know the thing was ever closed. But tell me, how many times was he referred to that as? Really? Lemme guess, just the one random time. So, that's one that was voted to keep, out of how many you just up and created with out discussion? A dozen or more? How about you learn to discuss stuff like this before you just up and do it? That way we avoid b.s. like this. Because honestly, I'm sick and tired of dealing with you. ^{(talk page stalker)} CrashUnderride 03:41, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Guessing 1 time (random?) would be wrong. Given your hostility I am going to assume you may target this next so I will beef up the sources to support it. Ranze (talk) 03:58, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

"Target" what? Radical Mongoose? Honestly, I couldn't give a crap. I mean, after one mention it was voted "keep", even though I was proven correct that it wouldn't last. Just because I was proven correct doesn't mean I'm gonna RfD it, again, even though it should be. I "target" non notable re-directs, stop creating them and I'll stop "targeting" them. Wow, doesn't sound too hard does it? ^{(talk page stalker)} CrashUnderride 04:01, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. LM2000 (talk) 04:03, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

September 2016

A page you created has been nominated for deletion as an attack page, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing. LM2000 (talk) 14:54, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@LM2000: what page are you talking about? Ranze (talk) 03:57, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Man That Mother Nature Forgot To Make Good-Looking.LM2000 (talk) 04:14, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

@LM2000: you're really pulling out all the cards aren't you? In that case please show your true face and do the same for The Dirtiest Player in the Game, after all, that must be an "attack" on Ric Flair to you. Never mind that it's a reliably sourced nickname which he is perfectly fine with. Ranze (talk) 04:34, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Template:Z33 --NeilN ^{talk to me} 12:19, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

This message is to make sure users edit cautiously in this area. For example, WP:1RR applies on Donald Trump and any kind of disruptive editing will probably have other editors asking that you be sanctioned. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 02:15, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

@NeilN: okay thanks for the clarification, 1RR is something good to keep in mind if I choose to edit the page at a later point. While it's limited to talk page proposals that probably won't be an issue. Ranze (talk) 02:21, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Notice of topic ban

Hello Ranze, I am here to inform you that there was clear consensus at ANI to place you under a community-imposed editing restriction. This restriction means that you are indefinitely topic banned from wrestling articles, broadly construed, and from creating or editing redirects. As per the topic ban policy, "a topic ban covers all pages (not only articles) broadly related to the topic, as well as the parts of other pages that are related to the topic". Adherence to this topic ban is mandatory, and transgressions will be met with blocks. Please let me know if you have any questions. Airplaneman ✈ 05:12, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
