National varieties of English

edit

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, 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 another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article 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. — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm That Tired Tarantula. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to IOS 4 seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. That Tired Tarantula (talk) 20:18, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Yamla. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, IPhone OS 3, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Yamla (talk) 21:32, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

It is December 2023. Not June 2023. Not November 2023. It's unclear to me if you are being deliberately disruptive or just accidentally disruptive. Initially, I thought this was an accident but you continued inserting the wrong month. Either way, please stop. I have reverted your changes to iOS 17. You are welcome to reintroduce them if but only if you know the current month and year. Additionally, you seem to be indicating these pieces of information are plagiarised. If so, adding a citation needed tag to them is definitely not the correct approach. --22:26, 19 December 2023 (UTC)


You are, by the way, welcome to remove any or all of the above, and to remove this comment. You are not currently blocked. If you were, you need to keep declined unblock requests for your currently active block, but are free to remove even those once your block expires. --Yamla (talk) 18:44, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sorry I’m tired and was distracted by something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by That guy who plays games (talkcontribs)

U.S. Route shield

edit

Please don't change the headings without further discussion. The past major revisions were included as subsections of the History section, and the current design, which did a bit more than just tweak the shape used in 1961, was its own section. The 1971 revision added the wider version for three-digit numbers and also removed the option for the narrow Highway Gothic Series A typeface. That revision also removed the cutout option for the reassurance marker. It is that version of the 1961 specifications that's still used in California. Yes, I understand how some people would think it's a minor revision of the 1961 version based on the non-cutout versions alone, but there's more going on than just that.

Additionally, we had an IP editor vandalize the article to insert some commentary on the 1961 spec signs used by California. That's why I reverted back to a version of the article before that vandalism. Imzadi 1979  18:02, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yea, I understand. The reason I did that was becuse you reverted my edit that fixed a factual error that was wedged between the IP user and the admitably poor edits I made. Also I did remove the vandalism in a later edit. That guy who plays games (talk) 18:08, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

I noticed that you moved Military Order of the Purple Heart Bridge to Military Order of the Purple Hearts and then to Bridge Bridge, also blanking it.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rumson-Sea Bright drawbridge has been accepted

edit
 
Rumson-Sea Bright drawbridge, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

I-95 in New Jersey

edit

That is a very bold move to merge the two articles together. There is considerable history to I-95 in the Garden State that is separate from the turnpike. That alone cautions against merging the topics together.

Now, per WP:BRD, you were Bold to attempt such a merger, but someone (me) has objected and Reverted that edit. The next step is to Discuss it. Since you're advocating merging, I would suggest you follow the process at WP:MERGEPROP if you'd still like to propose a merger of the articles. That would satisfy the discussion step of BRD.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cooper River Bridges (1929–2005), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ford Model A.

What? How did I lie? Dennis Brown said I didn't need the explain further. That guy who plays games (talk) 14:20, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Facepalm - I see TGWPG tried to close and "semi-protect" the discussion. You don't understand how a lot of things work here, so what looks like a "lie" was actually (for lack of a better word) "incompetence". I was on the fence, and was willing to just monitor, with my finger on the block button, but admins are always free to take more decisive action, and after the odd close (and other comments elsewhere), you kind of shot yourself in the foot. You don't close a discussion you opened, you can't assume that because one admin is willing to monitor, that another admin won't block (or the community itself). It's late night here, so I will leave this to others. Dennis Brown - 14:40, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Incompetence or outright lies, either way this user's edits are significantly problematic. I was considering between an indefinite block and a shorter block and decided on the latter. Nothing I've seen since the block convinces me their edits would be significantly better if unblocked, but any admin is free to lift or shorten the block if they are convinced. --Yamla (talk) 16:20, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
More problematic than a vandal or spammer? I think not. That guy who plays games (talk) 17:57, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
(WP:JAGUAR)
A user trying to cover their tracks and insists that they are in the 'right' even after being blocked is far more problematic than a few flippers and floppers looking for a laugh, who are relatively easy to clean up and usually don't return (bar sockpuppet users). Incompetence and lies can be tedious to clean up after, especially when the user outright refuses that they have done any wrongdoing.

I read through the discussion about it, took it on board, and made personal, non-forced changes to my outlook on participating on Wikipedia. However, if you are only changing behaviour because you got blocked for it and are now trying to find an escape route for you to get past this block, to me it seems only a matter of time before you hit a roadside IED and have your passion for this website, if you have any, become ashes. I stand by my support for an indef, and this can be revisited in a year or two. ASmallMapleLeaf (talk) 22:14, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I know I was AFD for moving Arthur Ravenel to a different location, and from now on I'll get community conscious before doing so. I tried doing 5hat to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, but nobody ever commented, so that's why i started doing that. In the long term i shount though, and I'll stop doing this. From now on, if i want to move or merge articles , I will tell other editors per Wikipedia's Guidelines. Additionally, I will not edit what other users write on talk pages per the talk page guidelines or assume things abruptly. I do realize that most of the edits i made were problematic, and I do truly want to improve as an editor and follow Wikipedia's guidelines, I just don't know how and thought i'd be simpler than it turned out to be. That guy who plays games (talk)

Decline reason:

There's no easy to say this, but this unblock request does not really allay suspicions of incompetence. Maybe you should spend the week reading Wikipedia's guidelines and policies, see if maybe you can find a mentor (if we're still doing that), and practice your English writing skills.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

  • Comment I was surprised to see that this block only lasts a week and is not indefinite given the level of impatience other editors have with your contributions to the project. So, I echo NinjaRobotPirate's advice to read up on policy during your week off from editing. But I have one more thing I'll add: When this block is over, stay away from noticeboards and commenting upon the actions of other editors. You have made many mistakes yourself in your brief time here as an editor and you are not in a position to judge editing behavior of other editors and passing judgment on them. Instead work on improving articles, you'll get more respect from your fellow editors if you concentrate on improving content, eliciting discussion with other editors, rather than hanging out on noticeboards. Just a piece of unasked-for advice. Liz Read! Talk! 06:40, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Why did you do this? Imzadi 1979  22:30, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

To create a redirect. That guy who plays games (talk) 22:30, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
That's not how you create a redirect. Instead, that's how you make a mess of others' watchlists and make mistakes that lose articles under bad titles. Please stop this disruptive behavior. Imzadi 1979  22:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
But there toll roads without a redirect that allows such, which is something they should've had from the start. Also i'm not willing to try to create a redirect because it will take forever. That guy who plays games (talk) 22:34, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
These should not have been created unless you have proof that the roads were ever signed in that fashion. Moving articles all around repeatedly is very disruptive. Do not do that again. If you must create a redirect, do it the correct way. Imzadi 1979  22:38, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of U.S. Route 3 Toll (Rhode Island)

edit
 

A tag has been placed on U.S. Route 3 Toll (Rhode Island) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Request reason:

Bbb23, why did you block me without giving me a say? My edit on the Woodrow Wilson bridge was from reading a Washington post article from 1995 debunking this claim, on which it said that the 1980s redecking in fact worsened the bridges condition and caused the need for a replacement. Also my edit of that article on Nazism was removing a bias, sure they were the majority, but completely ignoring the major minority is biased in this specific situation. Who's the one jumping to conclusions now?That guy who plays games (talk) 18:23, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

This is not an unblock request, you are addressing BBb23. Unblock requests are for asking for a third party review. From what I see anyway, though, I agree with Dennis below that the block should remain in place. 331dot (talk) 09:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • I've been following this case for a while (including at the original ANI report), and while I could review, I will pass this time, to let someone else view the situation. What we have here is a serious WP:CIR case, someone who consistently makes errors in judgement for whatever reason, to the point that they are clearly a net-negative to the encyclopedia. It takes more man hours to police and fix their edits than the value of the few good edits. Because of this, I would strongly recommend leaving the block in place. Even with good intentions, this editor simply doesn't have the ability to collaborate in a way that benefits the encyclopedia. Dennis Brown - 23:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Please give me a second chance. Looking back on it, my edits were disruptive and I want to correct what I did wrong. I'll be more collaborative in the future, I won't shove POV into articles, and i'll cite sources better. I'm extremely sorry for the disruption I caused.

Decline reason:

You have already been given a second chance. The number of chances editors have extended to you numbers in the dozens. Despite all the warnings and advice above, you have continued to edit disruptively. This block is necessary to prevent ongoing harm to the project. I do not see any succesful unblock request being likely in the next few months, and I encourage you to take a long break. Maybe you'll come back with a clearer description of what you've done wrong and some plan for how you'll restrict your edits to ones within your sphere of competence.

Decline reason:

I've decided to go ahead and review this one, after watching the entire process take place. I'm sorry, but you don't seem to fully understand why you are blocked, and that means that future disruption is almost guaranteed, in spite of your good intentions. You were advised to walk away for a few months (good advice) but didn't take it seriously. At this point, I feel like the likelihood of an unblock is virtually zero due to WP:CIR reasons, so I am declining, and removing talk page access. Any other appeals will need to be via UTRS.

I don't think this user truly understands the issues with there editing, given there various 'second chances' that went acknowledged but then ignored. If this user does not take a long, several months break from Wikipedia before making another unblock request, I would be inclined to support removal of talk page access.
