Crystal as a reason to modify headers?

I am confused about some of your recent edits, not why they were made but the guideline you invoked in your edit summary. What is "Crystal ball" about a section header statin Cruiserweight Classic and NXT (2016–present)?? Nothing "future" about it, just stating facts. I agree it could be eliminated, but if there isn't a good policy based reason you open it up to reversals etc, and we want to reduce problems. I just want to understand your point of view on this. MPJ-DK  16:53, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

@MPJ-DK: The purpose of having the subheaders in their career section, is to break a career up into logical places. Unless they get to that point there is no use for them and assuming there eventually will be is why it's Crystal. On the wikiproject for example if you look back a month or so ago it came up and someone kept arguing it needs to be there because when they make the main roster that will be under a new subheading. So that's what I based my description on, if that makes sense. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 03:08, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Let's work on a compromise

I know you want to have links for Pete Dunne, Trent Seven and Tyler Bate to match their location on List of WWE personnel. Their profiles are linked to NXT but it shouldn't have to be removed just because they don't mention their involvement in the NXT UK Division, even though the full roster hasn't been announced yet. They were members of the NXT roster before the announcement of the UK division. I say, let's compromise and work out something that will restore their online profiles while also put a note in stating that the full NXT UK roster hasn't been formally announced yet. --Keith Okamoto (talk) 18:52, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

@
Link Farm, which states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. This sounds to me like what you want is a clear violation of wikipedia policy. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk
19:00, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
That's not what I want. Before the announcement of the NXT UK Division, Pete Dunne, Trent Seven and Tyler Bate were listed on WWE.com as members of the NXT roster. Since then, there's been confusion on the page of where these guys should be, even though their online profiles still links them to NXT. I just saw the link you posted on the talk page, and I admit to not knowing the full roster for NXT UK was announced. Also I though WWE.com was a reliable source. Mark Andrews and Jack Gallagher are still listed as members of the Cruiserweight division and still have their WWE.com profiles. What I'm trying to get here is to temporarily move Dunne, Seven and Bate back to the NXT roster section until their official NXT UK profiles go online. If not, then I'm ok of them staying.--Keith Okamoto (talk) 19:13, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

You are an absolute fool

Next time, click the links on the match and if it says it is happening on the kickoff, that means the match is on the pre-show, and therefore is happening first.WrestlerHelper1שיחה Talk 11:23, 12 July 2018 (ETC)

Regarding your revert at ECW (WWE)

Hey Galatz,

Regarding your revert at

ECW (WWE)
where you wrote "no reason given for adding such a category". While the category and its description are self-explanatory, I don't mind elaborating. Article disambiguation falls under certain naming conventions. For this article, it falls under
ECW (WWE), but a larger process to find articles using wrong article disambiguations. Hope this clears this up. --Gonnym (talk

@
WP:PRECISE, otherwise I believe it would need to be ECW (TV program, WWE). It could definitely be confusing to someone who didn't want professional wrestling, so I am not sure if this helped or not. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk
13:12, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the clear up! Part of the reason I just tagged those articles was that when someone went over it, they'll research why the current name is this and to which name to change is (as IJBall has done recently), but if there is some dispute over the title, I'll tag it with Category:Television articles with disputed naming style instead. Is this ok? --Gonnym (talk) 13:28, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

AfD

Hi. I see you opened a discussion about Special K. I'm looking for other similar articles. Since the project changed a bit, looks like there is a new guide for notability. Can you give me your opinion about these articles? Justice Pain, The Messiah (wrestler) Wifebeater (wrestler) Nate Hatred The H8 Club Adam Flash Franky The Mobster Ric Blade Kit Osbourne Thumbtack Jack. I took these named from the CZW lists of champions, I heared about them so I don't know if they are notable or not, to open more AfD. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 17:58, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

I will take a look, but it might not be until Monday - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 20:23, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

@HHH Pedrigree: Here is what I found

  • WP:PRIMARY
    . I am not finding anything else online either
  • The Messiah (wrestler) - This article also is relying a lot on OWOW. Its also using Cagematch and wrestling-titles, which although notable aren't establishing notability. Its got river city wrestling which is a dead link. No diea what Solie is we are then left with a wrestleview.com and a college website. None of this demonstrates notability to me, but searching for Messiah is nearly impossible so I have no idea if there is info out there or not, but I cannot easily find it.
  • Wifebeater (wrestler) - I see two links to wrestle-titles and one to a russian website which appears to be dead. This does not support notability but searching for wifebeater is nearly impossible so I hve no idea here.
  • Nate Hatred - Again lots of OWOW and cagematch and primary here for sourcing. Everything else I am finding online it just primary
  • The H8 Club - This article has 1 source, which is OWOW. I am finding a lot of info on promoting events that mention them or them in results, but nothing that isnt routine
  • Adam Flash - Sourcing here again is basically all OWOW, cagematch or other similar. I am not finding anything that isn't routine out there
  • Franky The Mobster - Again lots of OWOW, Cagematch and primary sourcing. There is a link to PWI 500 which I believe helps with the notability claim. The ncw.qc.ca links appear to be dead but i am guessing they are primary too. I also found something which was a Kevin Owens interview on him [2] and an article on slam [3]. There are plenty of french sources out there like [4] that I am not familiar enough with to know. I am guessing he meets GNG.
  • Ric Blade - Commented in AfD
  • Kit Osbourne - Commented in AfD
  • Thumbtack Jack - Commented in AfD

Sorry for the delay - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 20:11, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm looking for other articles. I see a common patron in the independent wrestlers of the 2000's, specially from CZW. A lot of articles but too much routine. I don't know if they're notable since I heared about them (i'm a wrestling nerd) but I mostly know them because I saw their wikipedia articles. I think the main problem is these articles were created in the early days of Wikipedia and the project, so people include every match they had so looks notable, but in the end, looks like routine. I'm gonna create more AfD discussions to clean a little bit this mess. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 20:36, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Royal Rumble 1988

Refering to your revert on the article

List of WWE pay-per-view events. It wasn't pay per view that time, a special TV show. But WWE lists it as an official pay per view by modern standards (which seems to be the standards for most wikipedia articles these days, what we think of it in modern times), and in 2014 it has been listed as a pay per view on WWE Network, even WWE's official web site (wwe.com) lists its as a pay per view along side the other Royal Rumble events. So it might not have been a pay per view then but is considered a pay per view now, but I will leave the decision to keep it or remove it to you. Marked Man 808 (talk

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello Galatz, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules
  • New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
  • Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
  • Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
Editathons
  • Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
The Signpost
  • The next issue of
    the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here

WWE PPV themes

There may not be sources available by WWE themselves online yet, but for both SummerSlam and NXT TakeOver's themes they have been promoted this week. A graphic was shown on screen for at least 10 seconds with commentators thanking the artists for the theme songs being official. I feel like that's reliable enough for it to be on the articles until WWE provide a reference on WWE.com. Because it's not a custom theme. It has been shown already.

August 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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.

I also, again, recommend that you review

WP:N
explicitly states that "the notability guideline does not determine the content of articles."

I recommend you self-revert and open discussion in Talk instead of edit-warring. ElKevbo (talk) 21:06, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

I see no need for a self-revert and 1RR is certainly not edit-warring. It is very clear in

And where in all of the guidelines you've cited does it say "must have an article?" You use the phrase "verified notability" but the phrase that is actually used - that you quoted! - is "verifiable notability." The material is supported by a source and is eminently verifiable. ElKevbo (talk) 21:16, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

It is brand. If they were strictly on RAW, than yes, it is a sub-brand or division on RAW. But since they have their own show, it is a brand. RAW is a TV show and you want it pointed to a TV show. By your logic that is wrong. Mr. C.C. 16:57, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Wrestling match order

If a match is on the kick off show, it will be the (or one of the) FIRST match(s) of the night, because it takes place prior to the main show. BITW1611 (talk) 05:44, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

@BITW1611: What is your point? You are talking about a list that is in the order matches were ANNOUNCED. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 13:03, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

My point is that if a match is on the kickoff it should be put at the top regardless of when it was announced because it will occur before the other matches in the night. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BITW1611 (talkcontribs) 22:37, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Except that only works if the matches are not changed once they occur if the matches change when they occur it takes less work out if you put pre show matches in match number 1 because if you do it in order of announced then everything has to be changed when the pre show starts anyway where by putting pre show first it eliminates the change straight away because it's already at the top — Preceding unsigned comment added by BITW1611 (talkcontribs) 11:35, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

@BITW1611: Yet thats not the point of the list, and goes against the census and the established style guide. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 11:37, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Except the list is changed when the matches occur so to put something that will happen first eliminates all need to re do the list — Preceding unsigned comment added by BITW1611 (talkcontribs) 11:39, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

@BITW1611: So your suggestion is to ignore the consensus and style guide, keep everything except for one thing in the order they were announced, and to do the exact same amount of work at a different time just because you like it better. Do you realize how ridiculous that all sounds? - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 11:43, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

2 things. 1. I haven't seen this guide thing that your talking about and 2. It's not doing things at different times because you have to redo the entire list to change where things sit so it's saving time instead of adding it to the bottom then having to take it out and re do the list just to add it at the top it is easier to just add it straight to the top — Preceding unsigned comment added by BITW1611 (talkcontribs) 11:47, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

@BITW1611: Except it already had been there for a while before it was announced on the preshow so your point makes absolutely no sense. We are supposed to magically know when the match is announced a month in advance that it will be on the preshow? There was an entire tournament to get to participate in the match that built up for weeks, yet it was announced to be on the preshow a couple days before.

No I'm saying that when a match is announced for the pre show whether it's a day before or a month before the show it should be moved up since it makes it easier to read since pre shows are at the top and not in the middle of the card and now in the case of them Changing a main card show to a pre show I agree in the fact that it is just the same amount of work at a different time but it does make it easier to follow because it is then saying that these matches are going to occur first — Preceding unsigned comment added by BITW1611 (talkcontribs) 12:02, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018

Hello Galatz, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Project news
As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.
Other
  • A new summary page of reliable sources has been created;
    Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources
    , which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.
Moving to Draft and Page Mover
  • Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at
    WP:DRAFTIFY
    .
  • If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear
    conflict of interest
    .
  • Articles that have been created in contravention of our
    COI
    might also be draftified at discretion.
  • The best tool for draftification is
    CSD R2
    , but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
  • The
    Requested Moves
    . Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.
List of other useful scripts for New Page Reviewing

  • Twinkle provides a lot of the same functionality as the page curation tools, and some reviewers prefer to use the Twinkle tools for some/all tasks. It can be activated simply in the gadgets section of 'preferences'. There are also a lot of options available at the Twinkle preferences panel after you install the gadget.
  • In terms of other gadgets for NPR, HotCat is worth turning on. It allows you to easily add, remove, and change categories on a page, with name suggestions.
  • MoreMenu also adds a bunch of very useful links for diagnosing and fixing page issues.
  • User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js(info): Installing scripts doesn't have to be complicated. Go to your common.js and copy importScript( 'User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js' ); into an empty line, now you can install all other scripts with the click of a button from the script page! (Note you need to be at the ".js" page for the script for the install button to appear, not the information page)
  • info
    ): Creates a scrolling new pages list at the left side of the page. You can change the number of pages shown by adding the following to the next line on your common.js page (immediately after the line importing this script): npp_num_pages=20; (Recommended 20, but you can use any number from 1 to 50).
  • info
    ): Is requesting revdel complicated and time consuming? This script helps simplify the process. Just have the Copyvio source URL and go to the history page and collect your diff IDs and you can drop them into the script Popups and it will create a revdel request for you.
  • User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js(info): Creates a "Page Curation" link to Special:NewPagesFeed up near your sandbox link.
  • User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/deletionFinder.js: Creates links next to the title of each page which show up if it has been previously deleted or nominated for deletion.
  • User:Evad37/rater.js(info): A fantastic tool for adding WikiProject templates to article talk pages. If you add: rater_autostartNamespaces = 0; to the next line on your common.js, the prompt will pop up automatically if a page has no Wikiproject templates on the talk page (note: this can be a bit annoying if you review redirects or dab pages commonly).

Results section without actual results

Using the title "results" for shows that have not happened yet instead of the word "Card" - if it hasn't happened there aren't any "results" to list in the section. MPJ-DK (talk) 00:56, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
@MPJ-DK: And where on here [7], the change I assume you are referring to, do you see the word results? - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 00:57, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
Ah I see what the confusion is. When you referred to the style guide I read the section called "results", there is no reference to it being called "matches" in there, so your reason for reverting is not actually based on any style guide but a personal preference - which as a revert argument is fairly weak.

Attempting to explain this,

WP:FANCRUFT is described as: selection of content is of importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject in question. It might be an important part to point out that she wears a different name tag in every episode but no one (except a "portion of enthusiastic fans") is going to care what or want to know "what name tag she wore in the second episode of the third season".

Can you please explain to me why you're undoing my edits? All I'm doing is taking the link next to the wrestlers' ring name and replacing it with their profile from WWE.com as their source. This is the case for most of the other wrestlers on the page. The original link that I'm replacing is still being linked to other wrestlers that do not have profiles yet, so it's still there. I would just like a clear explanation as to why you think this is a problem. Thank you.

Fair enough on the Street Profits article but I did not create Montez Ford or Angelo Dawkins pages previously ever, that's absolutely not true. They were there before I even joined Wikipedia.

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Galatz,

Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
  • Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.
If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.
We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.
With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Your 3RR report

About this complaint at WP:AN3. Your report risks being closed with no action, since it is malformed. The 'Pagelinks' in the header should name at least one of the articles in dispute, and it does not do so. The report contains no diffs. Also, looking at the substance of the dispute, both parties have reverted a lot and there is no obvious justification for these reverts. Your best bet is to post at the bottom of the report and say you are withdrawing it, and will follow the steps of WP:Dispute resolution. Otherwise the most logical choice for an admin would be to block both of you for edit warring. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 20:05, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.16 15 December 2018

Hello Galatz,

Reviewer of the Year

This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.

Thanks are also extended for their work to JTtheOG (15,059 reviews), Boleyn (12,760 reviews), Cwmhiraeth (9,001 reviews), Semmendinger (8,440 reviews), PRehse (8,092 reviews), Arthistorian1977 (5,306 reviews), Abishe (4,153 reviews), Barkeep49 (4,016 reviews), and Elmidae (3,615 reviews).
Cwmhiraeth, Semmendinger, Barkeep49, and Elmidae have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only seven months, while Boleyn, with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

See also the list of top 100 reviewers.

Less good news, and an appeal for some help

The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.


Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019

At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.


Training video

Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Think about it

I get that he won it last night, but WWE still recognizes Nakamura as champion, which is why I’m changing the “recognized by wwe” column for both men. Go to the wwe.com website and you’ll see that they still recognize Nakamura as champion. That’s why it’s still counting up. And since Rusev isn’t recognized as champion yet, that’s why the number should still be at 272 until next Tuesday. Explain to me how he just randomly gained 7 days?

Carnival Cruise Line: Revision history

Suggest you check before making claims. It is the second time I have reverted this not the fourth. Conversely you have reverted three times so if anyone is edit warring it is YOU. I have invited you to start a discussion on the talk page to explain why you feel this table should be included and to obtain consensus for it as is explained in WP:ONUS. Frankly I am surprised that I have to remind such an experienced editor of how to behave and applicable policy. I look forward to your apology for falsely accusing me of edit warring Lyndaship (talk) 14:30, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

@
WP:BRD it is absolutely your responsiblity to get a consensus on this before removing something. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk
14:45, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for your response but I again suggest you need to look at the history and the diffs you provided. The first diff is me editing the article to remove this guff not a revert, the third is another editor performing your revert so I have only reverted twice (or if you consider the initial edit a revert three times) compared to your three unequivocal reverts. I again ask for your apology. Although ultimately it does not matter who starts the discussion on the talk page you have chosen to ignore my point about WP:ONUS by simply engaging in reverts without comment, that is less than ideal. Lyndaship (talk) 14:58, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
You are using the term revert, I did not. A
WP:ONUS is early to be saying that is the reason to exclude. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk
15:05, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
Ok then I have removed three times but not four as you claimed. Therefore an apology for your error is again requested.
WP:ONUS explains that the burden for obtaining consensus is on the editor wishing to include any information, as you wish to include you should have initiated discussion. Adding the same content multiple times is still an edit war and you have reverted three times compared to my two reverts and one removal, I think if we went to ANI we would both have our knuckles rapped don't you?

You are right, I missed that. My apologies, you only removed it 3 times, I missed that one of them was someone else. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 16:33, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I realize that people don't like the edit warring notice templates, and they're usually quickly removed, though often at the expense of missing any attached comments. But a warning is is required part of the process, especially when an editor reaches 3RR. However you are correct, there is an current discussion taking place here and this is my contribution to the discussion. "Please ensure you carefully check page histories before making accusations. I had only removed that content the single time, yet when you reverted me, you claimed I "been reverted twice by two different people". I believe an apology is in order. You've already miscounted in your accusations against another editor today and on the same article. I see you have reverted that same content now 3 times in 24 hours, meaning you alone are now at the bright line of edit warring. And then of course, there is a convenient supporting revert from "Danielsviper", the only edit so far from this newly created SPA. You have been advised, multiple the ONUS is on you to provide reasoning for inclusion. Another editor has started a talk page discussion that you have so far refused to participate in. Yet you are posting threats about making reports to noticeboards already. Please slow down, calm down, stop with the threats and wildly inaccurate accusations, stop edit warring and start discussing." Thank you -

Please read above, you will see I already apologized to that user that I missed it was someone else, I extend the same apology to you. Also please read the guidelines, you do not need to,
WP:DTR is a good read on that. A person needs to be aware of them, not to be templated. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk
18:35, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for the reply. I am familiar with the essay DTR and though I often don't, it doesn't mean that I can't. One exception to DTR, and I believe this one to be widespread, is the EW template, especially if someone has already raced toward 3RR and a 4th revert in the 24hr window seems likely, if not imminent. An EW warning is required for AN/EW reports and the template seems to be the most common choice for that. But hopefully no more of that will be necessary. I see the reverts have stopped, the discussion has started and we're all being very collegial now. Have a nice day -
