Hi,

Thank you for thanking me for my edit. I know how feel about that editor. I've had my breaking point, and I will confront them with my issues. I also want to tell you that I would appreciate commentary from you to support what I am saying as it seems you are. I will comment back on the DWTS on the talk page after 4 PM (EST). Include anything you want in your commentary, expect no cussing. We will try to do this in good faith. If this issue is still not resolved or it has become worse, we will have to reach an admin. I will try to reach other members (I know there are a handful of editors that are going to reach their breaking point) for their comments as well. In the meantime, please keep reverting the editor's edits from the page's physical appearance. They do not own the page, so this is unnacceptable and I will not stand by it.

Thank you,

Hello,

You could had written on my talk page instead. What help did you need?

Callmemirela (talk) 22:45, 25 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

My apologies, Callmemirela - I just realised that in haste I did not post it on your talk page as I was wanting to. I have just been having some conflict with AldezD, and hoped you would give me support in that - I am finding his actions difficult to handle. Kiwi Jaden (talk) 12:27, 25 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Kiwi Jaden It seems the editor has calm down and has tone down their editing. There have been no complications on the main article so far. I hope this stays this way, or consequences will be taken as stated in my message. If they ever come at you like that again, leave me a message on my talk page, and I will try to resolve the issue with you (: Callmemirela (talk) 20:39, 27 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Callmemirela I am very glad - and thank you for your hard work. I apologise once again, twas all in haste as was feeling very flustered by him. Let's hope we can keep it as is and move forward. Kiwi Jaden (talk) 21:42, 27 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Tim Wonnacott is 63 though? He even announced on Strictly this evening that he is in his 64th year, which is currently being widely sourced across the news media. So perhaps you can change it, thank you. en:User:Kiwi Jaden en:User talk: Kiwi Jaden 21:20, 19 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

  Hello, I'm Musdan77. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 20), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

  Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Article does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks!

The parentheses are grammatically correct. The notability is what they do. The show/movie they're known for is incidental, so it goes after and in parentheses. Here's an example: 2014_in_American_television#Deaths. If no parentheses, then we remove them completely as was done in previous season articles. --Musdan77 (talk) 18:00, 4 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Multiple reverts

edit

Hi Kiwi Jaden. I seem from my notifications that you have restored a number of edits that I reverted as they were made by a globally-banned editor. I just want to make sure that you're aware that, per WP:BANREVERT and WP:PROXYING, there is no issue with restoring the edits as long as you take full responsibility for the content and accuracy as if you had made the edits yourself. -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:27, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ponyo, who is the globally-banned editor? I was told BBC News and other BBC programmes (Breakfast included) should be in italics, so was just going through and tightening up the lists on each Strictly page. Let me know. Thanks! Kiwi Jaden, 01:29, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

To tell you the truth, Bez is NOT a musician, he's a dancer & percussionist so it should NOT be changed. --Annamargarita0 (talk) 04:42, 5 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

To tell you the truth, a percussionist is a musician, so it's perfectly fine to list him as such. Kiwi Jaden.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The Amazing Race 34. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Tables must conform to requirements of MOS:ACCESS. Bgsu98 (talk) 10:17, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

You are not the be-all and end-all thanks mate. You've come on all these pages, changed so much for the worse. And I, as a reader, am sick of it. Adding a damned cross sign doesn't make things easier for anyone. You are the unconstructive one. Kiwi Jaden.

And while we're at it about the damned dagger thing (what the heck!), why did you change all the non-eliminations to purple? Who decided that colour was better than blue? Against red for elimination? Who decided that? THE OFFICIAL AMAZING RACE WEBSITE for years from the races inception in 2001 onwards had leaderboards on it, and blue was for non-elim. As has Wikipedia for years. Why now do you (and perhaps a tiny group of others) think you can tinker around and change what has always worked? Under the guise that it needed readability support. I read the damned things fine for 15 years. Who the heck are you! I see you've also done it for non-elims - with another useless symbol. What on earth is all this? It does NOT help readability. Can you point me to a place where I can see that you've received overwhelming support from readers/editors to make these changes please. Only then will I stop. Kiwi Jaden.

Per MOS:COLOR, "Ensure that color is not the only method used to communicate important information. Especially, do not use colored text or background unless its status is also indicated using another method." The use of the red font is the only means currently used to convey elimination, which is not permitted. The dagger and double-dagger templates allow for alt-text which is read by screen-readers, but otherwise invisible to normal readers. In this case, I set the alt-text to read "This team was eliminated from the race." This was a good compromise reached working with some other users in order to avoid the clutter of having a superscript in every cell. Had you looked at the source code instead of blindly deleting, you would have seen the alt-text in place, which meets the requirements of MOS:ACCESS. As far as consensus goes, there was an RfC in 2021 which addressed this issue: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Television/Archive 12#RfC about elimination-style reality programs. Per that RfC, "There is a consensus that in articles about elimination-style reality television programs... tables should comply with accessibility guidelines." I have been adapting existing tables to conform with accessibility guidelines laid out in MOS:ACCESS. If you have suggestions about how to improve them while still meeting these requirements, you are free to suggest them, but undoing these changes to once again make the table non-compliant is unacceptable and tantamount to vandalism. You are free to "report" more if you want, but the last person who went bellyaching to administration about the improvements to the Dancing with the Stars tables was shut down because I have correctly been following Wikipedia policy. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Bgsu98 (talk) 15:30, 13 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
