Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Arid Uka, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Albanian (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.

Rampage

edit

I refer to your edit here: [1]. Thanks for adding referenced information to the article. Just some friendly advice. Please consider formatting references using an approved method such as Template:Cite web, especially when most of the existing references in the article are formatted in this way. Please choose simpler names for your references in the future. Giving the reference the name <ref name ="[Review] Uwe Boll Strikes Back With 'Rampage: Capital Punishment'"> defeats the purpose of having a simple ref name to allow editors to refer to the reference again without cutting and pasting. A reference based on a cue in the title such as "strikesback" or "punishment", would be much more appropriate, as would the name of the website it links to "bloodydisgusting", if that website is not used elsewhere in the article already. Also you do not need comma's in-between the second-last listed item and the word "and". The sentence should end "Katharine Isabelle and Michaela Mann." not "Katharine Isabelle, and Michaela Mann. Have a nice day. Freikorp (talk) 00:53, 25 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. LorHo ho ho 06:44, 18 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Unexplained removal of reference

edit

Hi, in this edit you removed a reference from Jurassic World. Not sure if that was intentional or not, but if it was, you should explain your edit by using an edit summary, as unexplained edits of this sort look like vandalism to other editors.

Repeated deletion of linking

edit

You've repeatedly deleted links, on the basis of your personal view, unsupported by consensus, that redlinks are not appropriate. Again you did it here. With a purported rationale that makes no sense. Firstly, where is the evidence that the article was deleted? Secondly, if the entity were non-notable, it would be appropriate to delete the sentence. Thirdly, just because an article is deleted (where that is the case) does not mean a properly written article may not be written. Please stop editing against consensus.

Re: Episode summary length

edit

Hello. I've noticed over the past season or so that you tend to write long episode summaries for anime lists, and in some instances even extend the length of some. While I appreciate your enthusiasm to summarize these episodes, it is generally unnecessary to write as much as you do for a single episode. For instance, with the episode I gave as an example, you effectively doubled the length of a summary of an already suitable length, but these summaries are generally not meant to be that long to begin with. As a rule of thumb, I would recommend trying to keep it to about the length of episode 13's original summary and instead of writing intricate detail about an episode, just write about the most important details.-- 22:50, 8 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

April 2015

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at List of My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU episodes (season 2). Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges.

I have to disagree with you on your choice of grammar and "errors". On a side note, too many commas interrupt the flow. The point is for a continuous flow of words in a summary, minimizing pauses where possible/necessary. KirtZJ (talk) 04:06, 18 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Summaries need to use simple simple sentences and avoid the over use of commas since they usually affect the flow to a casual reader. On a side note, I can only caution you control your edit warring tendencies as done at the aforementioned page and over at Fate/stay night. If somebody reverts you a second time there is usually a reason and you should make a case at a talk page and work something out. Hope this helps. —KirtMessage 16:39, 27 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

No, they're not. Libertarian12111971 (talk) 07:24, 30 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Why not? I explained above how they are. You can't just edit war on the basis of IDONTLIKEIT. You have to give a cogent reason for your edit warring. Which you have failed to do. I explained to you above how it is helpful. You simply responded, in effect, "no."
If I can't explain this to you, would you prefer that it be raised at a noticeboard? It is disruptive for you to do what you are doing.
And -- as has been requested a number of times, but which you still ignore, please leave edit summaries. This is especially important when you make controversial edits, such as this one, but is a proper general practice as well.
Please stop edit warring. --Epeefleche (talk) 07:31, 30 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
Is leaving edit summaries really mandatory? Libertarian12111971 (talk) 07:36, 30 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • To answer your question -- please click through and read the content at the templated messages that have been left for you over the past seven months in this regard. Asking you to leave edit summaries. Starting with User:JohnInDC ten months ago, and then User:Jetstreamer leaving the request, over seven months ago, and continuing with the request being made not just by more (more than once) but also, for example, by User:Cyphoidbomb.

Despite a series of requests, you've continued to not leave edit summaries on many edits. Even on controversial edits. Even when you are reverting another editor.

Read in particular the section of "Edit Summaries" entitled: "Always provide an edit summary".

It is considered good practice to provide a summary for every edit, especially when reverting the actions of other editors or deleting existing text; otherwise, people may question your motives for the edit.

Proper use of edit summaries is critical to resolving content disputes. Edit summaries should accurately and succinctly summarize the nature of the edit, especially if it could be controversial.

Your failure to use edit summaries, despite being pointed to this language a number of times by more than one editor over half a year, is compounded by the fact that you've failed to do so while engaging in controversial edits, and when reverting another editor.
