Re. Dragon Skin body armor
Hello and thank you for contacting me. Unfortunately, I usually don't get involved in disputes regarding articles where I lack expertise. My suggestion is create a section on the article's talk page about the disputed edits or disruptive behavior by other users. If they refuse to talk about it then it's legitimate to warn them (use the "Not adhering to
- Could you please brief me on the user and with what sort of edits is he disrupting the article? I'll have a closer look.--Húsönd 20:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- I still can't find enough proof that a particular user is disrupting the article with POV. I've protected the article due to edit war anyway. It would be convenient if some editors agree on the talk page that a specific user is being disruptive. That would certainly help counter disruption after the article is unprotected.--Húsönd 23:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

- Right, I'm lazy-ass who aren't very friendly. But consider that one who add it made half-ass edit by simply link outside (which may even violate WP:SPAM) instead of made proper citation, I don't see why I should put any more effort. Look, if you want to re-add it then made proper citation, else just leave it. Whatever, I won't do it to you. L-Zwei (talk) 10:30, 15 April 2011 (UTC)]

Re: Kansas City
I would suggest putting it up on the talk page. Give it a week or so. If there isn't any discussion, then just do it. You could also propose a move here. I fixed 800 disambiguation links to the page so this is a pretty major change. --User:Woohookitty Disamming fool! 04:31, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- That last comment made me laugh hard. Hey. At least you know. :-D In the end, I don't have any problem with the change really. I just get concerned when massive changes like that are made without direct discussion. The old page was a bit troublesome as it was a semi-disam page. --User:Woohookitty Disamming fool! 04:45, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kracht Castle Island, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Junction City (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Edit war warning
Your recent editing history at Places of power and Energy (esotericism) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 your 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.

- No, I was pushing back in place of power to retain the wiki references to things like Charmed which I haven't had a chance to dig out the relevant episode or how to format the citation. Actually, I didn't even look at which citations got scooped up in someone else's edit [1], who was hammering away at source quality, and you promptly reverted out of hand.

Astrology Sun Dates
I have added cited data for the start dates of signs Aries and Taurus for the years 2000 to 2029. You will notice that they change. The full current dates for this year are 2023 Mar 20 21:24 Aries and 2023 Apr 20 08:14 Taurus. Next year's dates are 2024 Mar 20 03:06 Aries 2024 Apr 19 14:00 Taurus. Notice that these dates differ from your last edit. But of course these are Universal Time dates. Depending on your location the local times may be up to 13 hour later or 12 hours earlier. However the table says "Approximate dates" so it doesn't matter that you put in incorrect data. Anyone who actually wants to use this table would always use an ephemeris. Only an idiot would use a fixed table for data that is inherently changeable.
I will leave to your conscience whether you want to leave incorrect figures in a table that you edited. OrewaTel (talk) 02:57, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into Sacredness. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 02:05, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
