Disambiguation link notification for November 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John W. Taylor (politician), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Speaker of the House of Representatives (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 warring
Re this comment "I appreciate your help, but stern warnings for people using proper methods to enforce policies and guidelines? You're out of line." I'm happy to ask for clarification of this - out of line in what way? Have you read the link - even if you consider you are correct, you can be blocked for edit warring, with 3RR as a brightline. How should I sugar coat that? Widefox; talk 17:23, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Widefox: You are wrong. Per 3RR, you need to revert four times. I reverted twice. So please don't mention 3RR here. My actions were appropriate for enforcing guidelines and policies as I was, and combined with the warnings on the other user's page, it seems to have worked. Your concerns are addressed to the wrong person. I am attempting to correct the article and the user on policies and guidelines like Ownership, MOS, Civility, and External Links, all of which have been violated recently.--ɱ (talk · vbm) 17:34, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Wrong about what exactly? As you've removed the links, here they are again so you can see it is an edit war notification not a 3RR notification:
- You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Irvington, New York. 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 Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- 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; 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'm only repeating it, as you seem convinced you may edit war when you feel correct, which is incorrect, and I've got the impression you have a right to 3RR, which you don't. Anyhow, that should be clear now, and I agree with you, the incivility on the other edit war party is unacceptable but that's not for your page. Widefox; talk 17:56, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
COI disclosure
My understanding is that per WP:ToU this should go on your "userpage", rather than a subpage linked from your userpage (and the link from the user talk is not very accessible anyhow). You may want to clarify that as it legals and I'm not your lawyer. Did you also fully declare per the ToU? Widefox; talk 18:05, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
