September 2015 edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Curtiss Model H has been reverted.
Your edit here to Curtiss Model H was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyN6bqCGXhA) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

October 2015 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Glenn Curtiss, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:04, 26 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

George the Fifth Class edit

I changed five to 5 to emphasise the numerical pattern of 5 (also George V) - "Notes and exceptions: Comparable quantities should be all spelled out or all in figures", e.g. "There were 3 deaths and 206 injuries". Given the information on the talk page there seems to be an underlying pattern of 1*3456***10, where *= a missing integer in a sequence 1 to 10.80.229.34.113 (talk) 13:16, 10 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

John Cyril Porte edit

Your really need to discuss why you think these videos add value to the article on the talk page rather than edit war, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 15:42, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Seaplane Experimental Station edit

If your additions or changes to an article are challenged (like the see also link to Childers) you should really go to the talk page and gain consensus rather than keep adding, this can be seen as being disruptive, take care. MilborneOne (talk) 17:39, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Curtiss Model H. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it.

May 2018 - The Riddle of the Sands edit

The reason I deleted the "See also" section from The Riddle of the Sands was that the pages linked were all to historical World War I & II operations. As far as I can see they had no relevance to a fictional plot of a novel written before the First World War. The book was not referenced in any of the articles, the proposed operations were not even based on the same plan of attack as the novel. So I decided that they did not meet the relevance factor for such a section. Dabbler (talk) 13:46, 5 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

June 2018 edit

 

Your recent editing history at John Cyril Porte 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 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 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.

Neither I or BilCat were warring - my last edit was an attempt (in good faith) to resolve BilCat's suggestion. Differences usually lead to some improvement or other.

Benjamin Hick edit

Please stop adding Benjamin Hick to the "See also" section of numerous articles - as an example, Drill - there is no mention of "drill" in Hicks article whatsoever - let alone sufficient to merit inclusion in the "See also" section - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 13:36, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
