Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 20:54, 14 October 2021

Heads up

Someone came on the live help chat and asked how to have you blocked on hi.wikipedia "because this user don't know hindi language so how he can edit hindi language wikipedia".

Just thought you should know that someone's upset with you. DS (talk) 05:33, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. It is the same editor as Special:Contributions/Allanimationhindi (). The sock puppet investigation page is at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Wikibot Research of Reverted Edits/Archive, although the earliest account appears to be Special:Contributions/HARSH BRIJ.

Notice

Please look into GoodDay’s comments here https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:George_V#Monarch_of_the_United_Kingdom. He says “this is gonna shock the pants off of you”. I tried multiple times (about 7 times) and they simply ignore me and delete the section on their talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.227.87 (talk) 05:50, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Talk page guidelines#Personal talk page cleanup for guidance. Users are free to remove most comments from their own talk page. Removal is to be taken as proof that they have read the comment. DrKay (talk) 07:48, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I do hope the lad has found another pair of pants. GoodDay (talk) 05:53, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

In future, perhaps just explain that you've read the comment and are permitted to remove it? DrKay (talk) 07:48, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Sound advice, but I doubt the IP would've stayed away. GoodDay (talk) 12:51, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

For what it is worth I have blocked the IP for edit warring and harrassment on GoodDay's userpage. I will leave it to you to judge the severity of the shocking of the pants. HighInBC 06:42, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Freedom of Information Application

Given that the UK allows anyone to file a Freedom of Information request, I will be filing one shortly. I intend on uploading the report to Commons and then using it as a reference on George VI’s titles. Please comment. 59.92.227.87 (talk) 11:42, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

His titles are public knowledge. Freedom of information requests do not apply to anything already published. DrKay (talk) 13:29, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Reverts for color issues

Hello! You recently reverted three of my edits (here, here, and here) because they added a hidden category: Articles using Template:Background color with invalid colour combination. This was due to my addition of {{Party stripe}}. The transclusion of that template causes pages to be added to that category, but since there is no actual color contrast issue (there is no text over the colors) it is not an accessibility issue. I don't know how to solve this problem with the template, but there is no need to revert edits that add it. Please let me know if it's okay for me to revert you, and let me know if there is any way to prevent {{Party stripe}} from producing this erroneous error. All the best, WMSR (talk) 16:01, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

See Template talk:Current U.S. senators#Colors (again). DrKay (talk) 16:25, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

I just replied on that talk page, but suffice it to say, I do not understand how it can be a MOS:ACCESS issue when the party abbreviation is next to each name. WMSR (talk) 23:13, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Armageddon (Arrowverse)

I am not able to edit this because of an IP block range intended for someone else. Could you please remove it? Kailash29792 (talk) 05:36, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

On what grounds? I don't see an obvious criterion? DrKay (talk) 16:54, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

I can't explain this. --Kailash29792 (talk) 08:22, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

I thought you meant remove the page. DrKay (talk) 11:35, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Duke of Normandy

I am looking for other sources as well for this title, but if you feel the current source doesn’t match standards, feel free to delete it. Do you like the new sections btw? 59.92.227.87 (talk) 07:39, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

"principles of divine right or birth"

OK, I'll bite: Why "not a typo" ? Are these two different principles then? Yappy2bhere (talk) 22:55, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

IP vandal

I see you've crossed paths with this one before. Please see today's contributions. Seasider53 (talk) 10:32, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Anti-social Misplaced Pages user

This user: "call-girls-jaipur00" (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) needs to be thrown out and is asking for an *** whooping. Please do the honours accordingly. 59.92.227.87 (talk) 10:16, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

National varieties of English

Hello. Can you please be more specific in what word(s) or style(s) you claimed I changed? I have been careful to adapt to the language used in the article. Calling Americans "rebels", also using "American War of Independence". I have used the proper titles of Lord North's ministers. I edit with sources. I use words or meanings found in those sources such as Chernow, Willcox & Arnstein. I know there are different dialects of English. List of dialects of English. Cmguy777 (talk) 16:10, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

I've been explicit. DrKay (talk) 16:27, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Are you referring to the SFN reference style? I have used that out of habit in other articles. Cmguy777 (talk) 16:24, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

That's a WP:CITEVAR issue. It's nothing whatever to do with British spelling or style. DrKay (talk) 16:27, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Right. I will be more careful. I will ignore my spellchecker on my computer, which I believed is designed for the United States dialect. I appreciate the insight. favor vs favour; defense vs defence I found this website: The differences in British and American spelling. Misplaced Pages article: American and British English spelling differences Cmguy777 (talk) 17:01, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Why oh why?

Howdy. I think we're going to need an RFC covering both George VI & Elizabeth II, concerning adding Head of the Commonwealth to the infoboxes. Apparently an editor has closed/claimed a consensus for its inclusion at George VI. PS: Wish Peter O, had left well enough alone :( GoodDay (talk) 01:47, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Update: I've opened such an RFC. It's time to put an end to this include/exclude debate. GoodDay (talk) 03:14, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!

Have a very happy first edit anniversary!

King James II

About the edit of the King James II. I do not believe that the edit can be described as "undue weight" considering the bishop of Paris declared him servant of God. And this fact is reflected in that very same article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jesseeeee 4 (talk • contribs) 02:13, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

I told you why in April. DrKay (talk) 17:01, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for the ping

I realised I may have pinged you. I personally hate pings and wanted to contact you in a friendlier way, so sorry if it was disturbing and thank you for assuming good fate and your quick response. 176.247.159.174 (talk) 00:53, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Not a problem, I assure you. DrKay (talk) 07:41, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

October 2021

Your recent editing history at Punding shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Here's an official 3RR warning since you removed the manual one. Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:51, 14 October 2021 (UTC) 20:51, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

I need us to discuss the lack of complementary info in the sources again

I know you think you've addressed my complaints already but you haven't because it's still unclear to my as to the why and we have to discuss this once or twice or thrice more or as many times as necessary until all the parties involved in an edition dispute have understood everything instead of just erasing my comments and calling me "an editor with a personal vendetta" while trying to sweep my complaints under the rug all the while being antagonistic and even offensive, which I can't allow until you agree to clarify to me again my doubts, which can be summed up in a single question: Why can't I add bibliographic sources to an article with editors, places of publication and other basic complementary data defined, especially when such parameters have been made available to Misplaced Pages for all editors to use? Honestly, give me a legitimate and valid reason why should I heed that rule, especially if you take into account the following factors: (1) I wasn't vandalizing the articles or removing information but actually ADDING information to it, and (2) clearly there was absolutely no ill-will from my part; furthermore, (3) instead of just editing my sources and keeping them along with the new information I added you just reverted to previous edits which had many issues I had addressed. --The Exterminating Angel (talk) 20:54, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
