List of Dominican submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Notes (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

Fixing stub changes

Hi,

Thanks for spotting the stub-sorting error with VIAFBot (talk · contribs)! I've been talking to Max, and we think we've worked out how to stop it doing the resorting on any future edits - we're just looking into fixing up the edits before restarting it (under supervision) Andrew Gray (talk) 19:46, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

VIAFbot

Just a quick note to say thanks for spotting the bugs in this - we've rewritten the code to be much simpler, looking for a specific place in the article to insert the template rather than its default setup of trying to be clever! It's been tested on some mockups and seems to be working okay, so we've tried it out on some of the live articles that caused problems and it worked correctly this time, leaving stub tags where they should be.

All the original edits have been reverted, and we'll run the corrections (under supervision!) tomorrow.

Thanks again, Andrew Gray (talk) 23:02, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Template removal

You shouldn't be removing templates until after the deletion process, it may yet be in my favour. All you're doing is being disruptive. I'm asking you to stop, or I'll raise it with AN as pointed and ownish behaviour. Thanks, Ma®©usBritish{chat} 10:12, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Don't "son" me, please.. there's no "will" only "might". Don't presume to guess.. when the nominator of a deletion starts removing content in favour of the nomination, it's a COI. I also consider it damned impolite to be removing 180 contributions before the community has spoken first. No one gave you that authority. You're supposed to wait for deletion consensus. Don't quote AGF whilst offering me none.. Ma®©usBritish{chat} 10:18, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
I never said I did, I'm saying the result of the deletion request authorises/approves the right to delete the templates. Semantics.. don't be funny, you know fine well what I meant. Ma®©usBritish{chat} 10:21, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

3RR warning

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an

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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's

BRD for how this is done. 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

That was a 4RR in 24hr. Expect a report at AN3 shortly. If you're going to quote "consensus" learn to live by it. Ma®©usBritish{chat} 06:54, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Re: DEFAULTSORT

DEFAULTSORT#Default sort key
; by adding a DEFAULTSORT that is identical to the PAGENAME you're adding worthless material to dozens of articles and benefiting no one. DEFAULTSORT should be used for things like reversing names to surname, firstname and excluding "The" from the front of titles, like Invaders, The. If you "already know this" (which you should after 6 years and 200,000+ "edits") then you've got to admit to having a compulsion to be (top) of every article you created, which is highly evident in your editing pattern, do note and I've counted 500+ clear examples, so it's a no-win situation.. at least try to edit with some level of British competence.. ever considered attempting to write some high-quality GA material film articles instead of going back over the same old stubs each day, trying to "better" people who have "out-edited" you by a byte? Must be so boring maintaining stubs all day, as it requires no determinable talent. Well, better let you get back to sentry duty.. I think an IP-editor just tweaked one of "your" pages.

Have merged it myself, copy-edited lead and headings as required. Refs/cats also transferred. If you want to take a look over it to see that all relevant data has been included, please do so. Size isn't an issue, as we thought, just under 18,000 bytes after editing. Though the earlier films might need converting from list to tables to allow for more content to be added, one day.

Stub sorting

Recently, I've been working on

WikiProject Stub Sorting, moving articles marked as {{stub}} to more specific stub categories so that people who know about a specific topic can focus on stubs about that topic. I noticed that you've tagged a lot of articles (at least 17) with a generic {{stub}}, which makes more work for stub sorters. A (mostly) complete list of all available stub types can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types. A userscript which makes finding stub categories easier is available at User:MC10/stubtagtab.js. — Wolfgang42 (talk

When edit warring, please mind your language, Sir/Madam. (Re: Notorious Doper)

WRT: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Livestrong_Foundation&action=history

Please keep your tongue (fingers?) in check when going about a crusade. There is no need for foul language, or throwing the rule book at me. You can speak on my talk page, your talk page, or (best) the article's talk page, if you want to say something about the edits. I'm re-posting my reply to Denisarona which he/she ignored and now seems to have removed from their talk page:

==Notorious Doper==
What more does LA have to do to become notorious? The characterisation was apt, well supported by a link to his main article, and widely reported in the media. It is not a POV any more, established and accepted by, among others, the
USADA
and the Union Cyclistes International. He *is* a doper, and he has certainly achieved notoriety. In fact, he may be the most notorious sportsperson in the US ever. Marion Jones has nothing on this. I'll reiterate my position.
Please state why you feel it is not so, else I should add the moniker again. Thanks. 117.197.48.16 (talk) 17:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
Do you have nothing to say? Please reply. 117.197.48.16 (talk) 17:16, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

If you wish to discuss this in a constructive, non foul-mouthed way, I welcome you to the article's talk page. If not, please stay out of the way of other, more constructive editors. I'm willing to add external links to support my position. I've no desire to edit-war on this, so I'm letting your version stand until this is resolved.
