Thanks, great suggestions! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoPolyMath (talkcontribs)
I recently saw, that you have forgotten to sign, so I added this template above. If you want, you can use something like the following Babel for your userpage: {{Babel|en|de-1|es-1|Personal acquaintances}} Feel free, to add all the languages you can speak ;-) Greets, --Brackenheim (talk) 00:48, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Personal acquaintances

edit

Hello NoPolymath, how are you? Do you remember me? And would you be so kind to verify my real life identity on "Wikipedia:Personal acquaintances" here? Kind regards, --Brackenheim (talk) 21:47, 24 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Crisis at Xmas

edit

My daughter, who used to volunteer on the Crisis night shift, showed me a post on the Facebook group for Crisis, where a request was made for contact from a Wikipedian in order to improve the Crisis (charity) article. I've been editing Wikipedia for 10 years (today!) and have an interest in charities (I'm currently a Trustee of Wikimedia UK), so might be able to help. I'm assuming you're the author of the Facebook post because of this edit. Let me know if there's any way I can be useful to you. --RexxS (talk) 19:37, 3 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

October 2023

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Novara Media. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

  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 and 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. – Joe (talk) 05:20, 19 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your comment.
Two points to note:
1 Originally, I was reverting and change from an Anonymous IP address.
2 I *had* looked in the talk pages, prior to editing, etc but there was no discussion.
The additional section is an impartial reflection of views held at Novara Media and therefore, I would humbly suggest worthy of inclusion on these important matters.
Again, I thank you for your guidance. NoPolymath (talk) 13:53, 19 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
You added the text, it's up to you to start the discussion. Thank you for now doing so. – Joe (talk) 14:17, 19 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
