  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Maya & Miguel, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

 
The Show preview button is right next to the Publish changes button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 01:06, 11 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

U.S. Route 199 in California

edit

Hi, please see the previous discussions like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/U.S. Route 199 in California, and the guidelines at WP:USRD/STDS. U.S. Route articles are only split when the route covers 3 or more states. Please do not restore that article again without getting consensus, which is what Wikipedia operates by. --Rschen7754 06:03, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Can you please respond? --Rschen7754 06:11, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Please stop reinstating your edits. You may be blocked for WP:3RR if you do. Please follow WP:BRD: you were Bold to re-create an article, but you've been Reverted, so it is time to Discuss. Imzadi 1979  06:14, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on U.S. Route 199 in California; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. Rschen7754 06:13, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at U.S. Route 199 in California shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. –Fredddie 07:36, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

  Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring.

The "Three-State Rule"

edit

We follow the "Three-State Rule" when deciding whether or not to create state-level articles on about Interstate or US Highways. Under that rule, we don't create separate state-level articles about Interstate or US Highways unless that highway passes through at least three states. For instance, U.S. Route 141 only exists in two states: Wisconsin and Michigan, so there are not separate articles about US 141 for each state in addition to the overall article about US 141. The rationale is that there would be too much duplication between the theoretical state-level articles and the overall article; there wouldn't be enough content to summarize.

Please stop trying to create separate articles on US 199 in California and Oregon. The existing article covers everything adequately, so there is no need to split everything up. Imzadi 1979  07:45, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at U.S. Route 199 in California. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 17:38, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I would note that if after your block expires you just continue to replace the redirect with the article against consensus and without discussing with other editors, you may be blocked for much longer. I suggest you read the bold, revert and discuss cycle page which describes a good method to resolve disagreements in bold edits such as this one.

"玛雅和米格尔" listed at Redirects for discussion

edit

  A discussion is taking place to address the redirect 玛雅和米格尔. The discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 August 20#玛雅和米格尔 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. signed, Rosguill talk 19:49, 20 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

 

The article Interstate 238 and California State Route 238 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

implausible search or link term acquired by combining two unambiguous titles

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 12:21, 23 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:San Bernardino Freeway

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted.
