Date Format

Please be aware of the date formatting guidelines for Wikipedia at WP:MOS or WP:ERA. The numerical year should be separated from the era by only a single non-breaking space, often added to the page using " ", so 400 BCE will usually look like 400 BCE in the page's markup, but will look like 400 BCE on the page. The reason for doing this is to prevent the year and era from being separated from each other during a line-wrap (where the year is at the end of one line, and the era is at the beginning of the next). I hope this was helpful. :) — al-Shimoni (talk) 02:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

April 2013

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 02:12, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Arsinoe IV of Egypt may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Ungulate

Ari - thanks for your e-mail about edits to the Ungulate page, however, I am afraid you are mistaken.
If you look at the page's edit history, which is here you can see my only edit to that page was on 29 January 2016‎, whereas your additions were on 14 February 2016, so I did not "toss" them.

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. ––FormalDude talk 03:35, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Wondering if stable version is best till the 2 talks are over. It's clearly a contested new addition.Moxy- 03:43, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Moved from User talk:FormalDude § Robert F. Kennedy edit

My edit was am attempt to introduce the neutral term "discourse" to replace the clearly tendentious "propaganda". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ari in Jericho (talk • contribs) 07:32, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

@Ari in Jericho: Using "discourse" in this context would be false balance which is a violation of neutrality. Not to mention you're going against the consensus which has formed on the article talk page. ––FormalDude talk 07:58, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

What consensus? Wikipedia is not a polling effort but an attempt to produce a dynamic encyclopaedia. However, I believe that there is a consensus in most standard published dictionaries that the term, "propaganda", is negative while "discourse" is neutral.

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
