Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ferguson, Missouri, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 2000 census. 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.

Your archive box is misleading and you should remove it. You've blanked your talk page instead of archiving it. You're allowed to do that but to put an archive search box there implies that your archives exist. The Dissident Aggressor 16:32, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly, the content is still here... just invisible. The old material was included as an invalid parameter of the Archive box template. Since the parameter is invalid, the Wiki software doesn't know what to do with it so it doesn't render it... but neither does it disappear. Whether this was an accident or deliberate, I don't know. Just click the "edit source" tab for this talk page and you'll see all the old contents within the Archive box template. – JBarta (talk) 17:21, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't delete the simple descriptions of what these weapons are (eg. "assault rifle", "rocket launcher", "submachine gun") from the

I do not share your point of view, these details override unnecessarily introducing this article. Trackteur (talk) 16:36, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know: I can see we both agree we disagree on this, and we can't go on reverting one another, so I suggest we let the community decide on either which is better, or some sort of compromise. I've started a discussion of this on the talk page at Talk:Charlie Hebdo shooting#Removal of simple inline descriptions of weapons. -- The Anome (talk) 16:41, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The source cited says "The weapons seen in various images of the attackers include a variant of the famous AK47; a Czech-made sub-machine gun called a Scorpion; several Russian-designed Tokarev TT pistols and a grenade or rocket launcher — probably the Yugoslav M80 Zolja."[1] This is not saying that the Skorpion is the AK-47 variant. Look at the picture in the cited source, and in particular where the magazine is located on the weapon. On the Skorpion, it's situated toward the front of the weapon; on the AK-47, and on the weapon in the image, it's situated toward the rear. The weapon depicted in the photo is clearly not a Skorpion. -- The Anome (talk) 17:14, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You keep on removing mention of the AK-47 as being uncited. Please note that this is cited in the reference given in the article which you can also find given directly above in my previous comment, which handily also contains an image of one of the terrorists holding an AK-47-type rifle that looks nothing like the Skorpion, a short-barrelled submachine gun which is not a variant of the long-barrelled AK-47 assault rifle.

If you want more cites for usage of the AK-47, try these:

• http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2015-01-07/paris-killings-show-rise-of-banned-weapons-of-war-in-france.html
• http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/11330420/Charlie-Hebdo-attack-Paris-gunmen-showed-advanced-military-skills.html

...and I can give many more, if needed.

Please take this to the Talk:Charlie Hebdo shooting article talk page if you disagree with me, instead just repeatedly removing stuff from the article without discussion. -- The Anome (talk) 19:31, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on DARPA. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

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.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. -- Sam ^Sing! 13:08, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain what the point of this is. I cannot comprehend why anyone would include such a detail in the lead. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 14:21, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

and more accurate for readers. Trackteur (talk) 14:29, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, actually, it's not in the least more "accurate", it's merely more long-windedly and pointlessly precise at the expense of readability and and at the expense of getting to the point. Seriously, Tracteur, this is an issue of prose quality, readability, and getting to the point. This is a detail that is out of scope for the lead. Please, please try to understand. What you're doing is headache-inducing. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 14:56, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trackteur, your edit to Charlie Hebdo shooting was wrong in every way: the English was broken, it was incompetently overwritten, it had a cite in the lead that wasn't in the body, and it had information that wasn't in the body. Stop breaking the article. You've just come off a two-week block for this, and you're in the middle of another edit war at ARPANET. You will be blocked again, and not for only two weeks.

Hi Trackteur. Don't do this. See

Hi Srleffler, we must also think about the readers the meaning of an acronym is not always known by all. Trackteur (talk) 08:46, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. The pop-up "International system of units" when hovering over the link is useful, without cluttering the article by spelling out the acronym.--Srleffler (talk) 02:44, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trackteur, I've already linked you to Accuracy and precision before. Please read it. These kinds of edits do not benefit the reader, and are not more accurate. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 10:43, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Curly Turkey, thank you for that link, although in the specific case mentioned article Charlie Hebdo issue No. 1178 it seems completely irrelevant and if I made a mistake in reading the reference, thank you for letting me know. Trackteur (talk) 12:23, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you think it's completely irrelevent, then you haven't read the article well. The edit you made was unhelpful. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 13:02, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Read

WP:EGG, Trackteur. Readers who see a link to French press expect to see an article on the French press, not a list of publications. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 13:19, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply

]

I found a more appropriate link. Linking to the list of publications was not a total Easter egg, and was probably better than no link at all.--Srleffler (talk) 02:46, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Srleffler: It's no a better link, Charlie Hebdo, is not listed in your link. Trackteur (talk) 11:16, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why should it be? The article links directly to Charlie Hebdo anyways! Regardless, linking "French press" to a list of publications is inapproropriate because it defies reader expectations. If you want to link to a list of French publications, put it in a "See also" section". Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 11:37, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tracteur, I find your reversion bizarre. Linking to

Media of France#Newspapers that you removed was on-topic and appropriate. You seem not to understand that the purpose of a hyperlink is to provide more information on the specific phrase that is linked.--Srleffler (talk) 04:07, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply

]

@Srleffler: See comments of Curly Turkey: French press does not need to be linked, and in my opinion print media simply wants to make a distinction between the written press and other types of media. Trackteur (talk) 07:04, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If "French press" is going to be linked,

Media of France#Newspapers is perhaps too narrow, as it excludes magazines. I doubt it needs to be linked anyways. The best solution would be for someone to create a French press article. nbsp;¡gobble! 07:14, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply

@Curly Turkey: I agree with you, but now French press is an article with an title neologism. As you have already criticized me: my English is poor enough to proceed to the renaming of the existing and create new article. Trackteur (talk) 07:41, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Such neologisms aren't always a problem—sometimes a notable subject doesn't have an agreed-upon name, so Wikipedia has to make up a neutral, descriptive title. there are lots of titles like this, for example for murdrers: Murder of Joanna Yeates, Murder of Julia Martha Thomas, Murder of Leigh Leigh ... Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 07:45, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not a neologism—that is the name by which this device is commonly known in North America.--Srleffler (talk) 04:54, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Srleffler: Thanks, I agree with you for U.S. and Canada, because I have read this article , section Nomenclature, which is also not very fully informed (Spanish = Cafetera de émbolo). Trackteur (talk) 07:28, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trackteur, you make many edits and occasionally other editors will find that you have made a mistake. Please relax and do not insist on perpetuating your errors, going so far as to introduce similar errors into other articles to justify them, as you have with

@NebY:: This is the case, see my answer on the talk page. For Giovanni Giorgi, it's a other problem, several corrections are necessary. Trackteur (talk) 12:27, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, please don't edit-war as you have been doing lately at

Engage the discussion on the dedicated page, if you wish, my corrections are with direct links and in first point try to think for readers.Trackteur (talk) 19:32, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

First, please do read

WP:BRD. When you have made an edit and it has been reverted, it is your responsibility to open a discussion rather than edit-warring. Second, I am thinking of the readers whereas you appear to be thinking only of unpicking the clear English phrasing of previous editors and replacing the piped text with the linked article titles, even when the full title is inappropriate in the context of the sentence you are editing. The last edits you made at International System of Units[2][3][4] were all of that sort and it is mystifying that you cannot accept that it is time to leave well alone and move on.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Metric prefix. Your edits appear have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Jc3s5h (talk) 12:06, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Metric prefix 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 get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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.

Linking both "singular" and "singularity" in the same article is not redundant. The terms are sufficiently different that a reader who is unfamiliar with the concept might not connect the two.--Srleffler (talk) 04:41, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re this edit: Stop trying to demote listed references to "further reading". References are materials that were consulted in preparing the article. "Further reading" identifies other useful materials that the reader might be interested in, but which are not specifically sources for the material in the article. It is never acceptable to change references into a "further reading" list as you are trying to do. See

It appears that you are confused by the unusual referencing style used in this article. Unlike most articles, which use footnotes that contain the citation, this article uses footnotes that refer to citations by author name (as in Harvard or Vancouver style referencing), with the citations themselves then listed in alphabetical order by author. Per

The above is not affected by the fact that some of the references in the article are not formatted consistently with the original ones. If you want to modify the misformatted references to make them consistent with the original referencing scheme, go ahead.
