Warning

You currently appear to be 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. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

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

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --David Tornheim (talk) 05:05, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@David Tornheim: To what edit war are you referring? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 05:06, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
These two edits [1], [2]. Please read
WP:BRD and hopefully that will make sense. --David Tornheim (talk) 05:09, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply
]
There was nothing to discuss (the "D") as no rationale was provided for the singular reversion. How would that meet the definition of edit war provided in
WP:EW? In any case, I already started a discussion on the article talk page to better understand what source you are seeking. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 05:11, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply

Oh, I see. Why don't you create an account and start editing? The software flags your edits as suspicious. Thanks, Thanoscar21talk, contribs 20:41, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What flagged that edit as "suspicious", Thanoscar21? As far as I can tell, the edit didn't even trigger a filter. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 20:45, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, at Special:RecentChanges there's a software that flags edits as "May be vandalism/bad faith", "Likely ..." or "Highly likely...". It doesn't trip filters. You see, I didn't even know that it was flagging my edits as suspicious when I was starting out; I'm pretty sure the software usually flags based on the edit summaries. You can see this on your own if you go to Special:RecentChanges, and click on " Active filters". Thanks, Thanoscar21talk, contribs 20:51, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Micronations

I've nominated the article on the book for deletion - it provides no evidence of notability, and I don't see much to be gained by cluttering the hatnote on a more central article. Acroterion (talk) 20:50, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Acroterion: Seeing as the PROD has been declined by Ninetyone, I will reinstate the hatnote. Hatnotes are for navigation, not an indication of notability. (Obviously, if the article is deleted at AfD, the hatnote will be removed.) 207.161.86.162 (talk) 22:45, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Given that it just scraped by, and given that hatnotes aren't meant to be exhaustive disambiguations, I would disagree, but it's not worth the argument. It just seems spammish to include a marginally noticed title like that. Acroterion (talk) 22:51, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) IP, I don't think this merits a hatnote at the top of the page. If the article is ended up being retained, maybe add it to the See also. But you cannot put it at the top of the article. It is not that significant to merit that, which makes that addition promotional. El_C 22:53, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@El C: Please take the discussion to the article talk page. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 22:55, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Post-nom sizing

Hello! It is the accepted consensus to maintain the original sizing of post-nominal letters in articles. If they are originally full sized, please ensure that add "|size=100%" to the post-nom template. The same applies with commas: please keep them if they are already there with "|sep=,". Feel free to read

MOS:POSTNOM. Thanks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 13:53, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply
]

Hello again 207! This isn't optional. Please maintain the size and commas of post-noms if they are already there. The Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style. Continuing to ignore Arbitration rulings will result in editing restrictions or even a ban. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 00:03, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Are you referring to Pat Caplan? If so, this was not a case where a particular style was already chosen as the article had not previously used {{post-nominals}} (which is customary). 207.161.86.162 (talk) 00:56, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is no requirement to use the template, and so the style is not set by the first instance of its use. Guidance for commas: Post-nominal letters should either be separated from the name by a comma and each set divided by a comma, or no commas should be used at all. If a baronetcy or peerage is held, then commas should always be used for consistency's sake. So there are times were the commas might need cleaning up, but the size should be clear if its needs to be small or maintained at 100%. (142, is this you?)

No edit summary, no good rationale for changing things to weird numbers? What's 92 days for? Elizium23 (talk) 03:53, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The changes were as follows:
  • Merging the WikiProject Catholicism banner into the WikiProject Christianity banner.
  • Reassessing the importance of the article to WikiProject Anglicanism, bringing it from high to top (as there is no way to comprehensively understand Anglicanism without understanding the Anglo-Catholic tradition).
  • Removing the
    Global South
    .)
  • Moving the archive box beneath the talk page banners.
  • Adding an automatic archiving notice, which was missing despite the page being archived automatically.
  • Changing the automatic archiving settings to leave at least four threads on the page rather than two, which is most atypical.
  • Changing the automatic archiving settings to only archive threads more than 3 months old (or 92 days – one quarter of a year, rounded up) rather than the existing setting of 40 days, given that this talk page is so infrequently used.
So if the only substantive issue you had with the edit was the number of days in the automatic archiving settings,

A lot of edits come from this IP, most without summaries. Taking a moment to leave one can save everyone time and help avoid misunderstandings. And, of course, editing from an account rather than anonymously makes collaboration easier for everyone. Eric talk 15:14, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this IP's summaryless edits are problematic. The IP has also removed some notability tags without addressing issues of notability in the text.
talk) 17:14, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply
]
The only such tags that I removed were added by you recently. For example, at
named chair
 ... at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon." This information is easily googleable and was added to the article when the tag was removed.
DiamondRemley39, may I ask what is going into your assumptions about the notability of these articles? Is there any research being done, or is this based merely on a hunch? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 22:31, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Tags may be added if when articles do not express notability of the subject. Apparently some research is being done--by you. One can't assume subjects are notable unless there is information about that notability in the article--and sources to back them up.
If you care to work on the article further, to perhaps make these statements about the subject's notability in the article, and add sources, that would be helpful and the tag could then be removed.
Regarding your other changes, the following concerned me:
By all means, please add information and sources!
talk) 23:24, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply
]
@
WP:A9. The tag should not be added unless one has some reason to believe that the article may not meet the notability guidelines. To establish that would require at least a cursory Google search. Am I correct in understanding that not to have been done? Ane moreover, why re-add the tag after it was removed – presumably removed because I was "certain that enough in-depth, independent sources have been published about the subject to overcome any notability issues" (to use the language of the template documentation
on the subject of removing the tag)?
One can't assume subjects are notable unless there is information about that notability in the article--and sources to back them up. Is that to say that there ought to be a {{notability}} tag on each of the 212,000 articles that have {{unreferenced}}? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 23:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If you care to work on the article further, to perhaps make these statements about the subject's notability in the article, and add sources, that would be helpful and the tag could then be removed. Is that to say that, based on the article Edward C. Ratcliff as it currently exists, you don't believe the article indicates the subject's notability? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 23:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think you may be confused as to what tags mean. Tags indicate concerns with the present state of the article, not about what any one user may believe about the subject. Can you quote where it says someone must Google before tagging an article for problems? You may read otherwise about tagging
talk) 01:08, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply
]
@DiamondRemley39: Tags indicate concerns with the present state of the article, not about what any one user may believe about the subject. That depends on the tag in question. In the case of {{notability}}, the tag says, "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline." Note the phrase "topic of this article". So you would be correct if the tag said "The article does not indicate that its topic meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline." It does not, however. This is further emphasized in the template documentation which begins, "Add this template to the top of any page whose article subject is, in your judgment, reasonably likely to be non-notable [emphasis in original]". Once again, it is clear that it is the article's subject that is in question, not just the article's current state. Given the language of the template and its documentation, what leads you to believe it to be exclusively about the current state of the article?
Can you quote where it says someone must Google before tagging an article for problems? Seeing as the template and its documentation make clear that it is the notability of the article's subject that is in question, it is self-evident that if it is a subject with which one is wholly unfamiliar, one cannot come to anything resembling a conclusion about the subject's notability without at the very least a cursory Google search. If it is the article's subject that we are talking about, not solely its current state, I don't see an alternative to that.
It's silly to ask me to speak for 212,000 unreferenced articles. I'm trying to suss out what, exactly, you believe to be the standard. Based on my interpretation of what you are saying ("[o]ne can't assume subjects are notable unless there is information about that notability in the article--and sources to back them up"), the {{notability}} tag would be suitable (albeit perhaps not necessary) on each of those articles. Is that accurate? And if not, why?
It's nice that you added a box at the bottom, but such vital information should be in the body, too. That doesn't answer the question; i.e., based on the article
Regius professorship

You reverted my edit as unexplained reversion, yet your original edit had no explanation. Why? Denisarona (talk) 05:54, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why would that letter be capitalized, seeing as the word is not a proper noun? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 05:57, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That was not my question. (It was probably capitalised because it was a title, the same as the capital I in Intellectual history) Regards Denisarona (talk) 06:10, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean by "title"? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 06:11, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Title can mean the name of a book, a poem, a painting, an article, etc. Denisarona (talk) 06:16, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In that sense, a title would be a proper noun. The name of a field of study is not, however, a proper noun, as I'm sure can be evidenced by any major English-language dictionary. Our manual of style is also explicitly clear on this point at
MOS:DOCTCAPS
: "Doctrines, ideologies, philosophies, theologies, theories, movements, methods, processes, systems or 'schools' of thought and practice, and fields of academic or professional study are not capitalized, unless the name derives from a proper name [emphasis in original]."
And even if we were to capitalize the "H" in "history of ideas", why wouldn't we also capitalize the "I" in "ideas"? For that matter, why wouldn't we also capitalize "intellectual history" (the article title)? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 06:22, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You still haven't answered my question - You reverted my edit as unexplained reversion, yet your original edit had no explanation. Why? Once again, Regards Denisarona (talk) 06:32, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Because the purpose of the original edit was self-evident whereas the purpose of the reversion was anything but. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 06:43, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Having explained my edit, I'll ask the same of you: what was the rationale behind your reversion? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 06:50, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Carlo Maria Viganò, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube or Sci-Hub, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

  • If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
  • If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. Elizium23 (talk) 01:52, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon
Your recent editing history at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (architecture) 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:19, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary

Hi. In the edit summary you posted when you made a fix at List of Los Angeles Times publishers, you used "CE," which means "Corrected an Error." Actually, it is not an error to refer to him as a "Dr." (I believe he has an MD.) It was wrong according to our style, so perhaps the Edit summary might have read "Not WP style," or something of the sort. Best wishes, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:28, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FAA wings icon in Oliver Daemen's infobox

Per your revision here. Of course the icon isn't on the majority of astronauts' articles, as very few astronauts are yet commercial ones. With regard to contesting

MOS:ICONDECORATION, does the icon honestly not serve as an infobox visual cue for a commercial astronaut, to aid the reader, similar to mission badges? EP111 (talk) 05:00, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply
]

@EP111: I don't think the average reader is familiar enough with astronaut wings to be able to tell them apart from one another, so their inclusion there doesn't seem to aid comprehension. It seems no different to medal ribbons, which we no longer include in infoboxes. If you still feel that they should be included, however, I would be open to having a discussion at Template talk:Infobox astronaut about adding an appropriate parameter, as they certainly don't belong in the "type" field. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 05:10, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, the warning text is boilerplate standard stuff added by template. The essence is: Please don't restore old talk page threads that have been archived. It doesn't help the article become better. Binksternet (talk) 05:30, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@
WP:DISRUPT
?
Now to provide some context to my edit, on 9 September a user changed the automatic archiving settings on the talk page to allow archiving after just 30 days (rather than 6 months, as had previously been the case) and require that a minimum of only one thread be left on the talk page. At the time, the most recent discussion concerned how to label Tilda Swinton's nationality. Just 16 minutes later, the user started a new thread about the subject's nationality. I feel that this was inappropriate as the previous discussion remains relevant.
Additionally, the change in the archive settings is not suitable for the talk page. It is standard practice on all but the busiest talk pages to keep at least the three to five most recent discussions. And this talk page is certainly not busy enough to both lower the minimum number of discussions and to archive discussions after just 30 days. (The page appears to typically play host to just one or two threads per year. And even at its largest, it hasn't exceeded 18 KB in size.)
On the issue of archiving, our talk page guidelines say that If a thread has been archived prematurely, such as when it is still relevant to current work or was not concluded, unarchive it by copying it back to the talk page from the archive, and deleting it from the archive. I restored the most recent thread because it could not have been much more relevant to the ongoing discussion. If there is doubt as to whether the thread was archived prematurely, the talk page guidelines provide this guidance: Refactoring and archiving are still appropriate, but should be done with courtesy and reversed on protest. I must "protest" the unilateral decision to archive the thread. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 06:03, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a

Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing
 → check Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Information icon Hello, I'm Equine-man. I noticed that you recently removed content from John Williams (motorcyclist) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Woah, what's with the threat, NinjaRobotPirate? What made you think a level-four warning was appropriate here? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 05:30, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. Seems very reasonable. Station1 (talk) 07:13, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference, to make it match other articles, or without first seeking consensus for the change. The arbitration committee ruled in 2006" .Moxy- 02:22, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're trying the patients of 'at least' 3 established editors. Stop whatever it is you're attempting to do, before you end up getting blocked. GoodDay (talk) 02:41, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GoodDay: I'm genuinely unsure what the concern is. I'm happy to address particular edits, but you haven't made reference to any. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 02:42, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
