Edit war

edit

I noticed that you have been making many changes to the Pinyin on articles about Taiwan, sometimes in violation of the consensus on the respective talk pages. Furthermore, when I or others have reverted your unilateral changes, you have re-reverted them. Please, could we stop this edit war and have a discussion about what you are trying to accomplish? Phlar (talk) 22:33, 9 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your edits of article “Pinyin” concerning Tongyong Pinyin

edit
 

You repeatedly made inappropriate unilateral changes concerning Tongyong Pinyin to the article Pinyin, e.g. here and here. Please stop this, as well as your unsubstantiated ad hominem edit comments, immediately. LiliCharlie (talk) 06:55, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Edit warring across multiple articles

edit

You are edit warring across multiple articles to unilaterally impose a change in the presentation of romanised chinese names in violation of the manual of style for romanisation. Please do not continue to do this without starting a discussion on the talk page. Continue to edit war will only result in a block. Blackmane (talk) 23:46, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yiguandao

edit
 

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

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. Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 19:31, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Pinyin. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Zanhe (talk) 23:08, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

  Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring, as you did at Taipei. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  slakrtalk / 03:33, 19 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Wuxi may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it.

  • You edited the articles Bopomofo and Wuxi but I found the results of your edits insufficient for Wikipedia, so I reverted them. If you need help next time you can leave me a message on my talk page or ask for assistance on the talk page of the article you would like to change. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 03:32, 24 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Both of those edits look like good-faith efforts to me. I can see why you reverted them, but I don't see why you called them "vandalism." On Wuxi he even attempted to apply the ZH template, but gave up. Not vandalism, in my opinion. Phlar (talk) 02:48, 24 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

National varieties of English

edit

  In a recent edit to the page Rococo, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. freshacconci talk to me 21:36, 25 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

This user dosen't respect national varieties of Chinese either, as in Wuxi which is Wúxī in Mainland China, but Wúxí in Taiwan. Maybe they need better dictionaries, or more permissiveness. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 21:51, 25 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciations and other issues

edit

  Please do not replace proper phonemic/phonetic pronunciations given using the International Phonetic Alphabet with approximate non-standards respellings based on your variety English, as you repeatedly did at Bopomofo and Kuomintang. Even if certain sources use such respelling, they have no meaning without a key, and they should not be used as such on Wikipedia. Please refer to WP:PRONUNCIATION for the standard practice on Wikipedia.

Additionally, according to WP:ENGVAR, you should not arbitrarily change the English variety used on an English Wikipedia article, as you did on Kuomintang. Your claim for doing that seemed to be that the Republic of China uses standard American English and not British English but whether or not that's true, it's absolutely irrelevant as far as Wikipedia is concerned.
