Your recent editing history at Template:Album chart shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. —Indian:BIO ^{[ ChitChat ]} 18:57, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Chris, for what it's worth, I think you're in the right on this one. You seem to have raised the issue on the template talk page on 11 December. You appear to have waited four days, received no opinions or comments to the contrary, and then made the relatively minor edit. Four days with no reply seems a reasonable way of establishing an initial consensus, and is hardly rash. Hchc2009 (talk) 19:49, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Kenosha

• At my request, administrator RHaworth moved Kenosha, Wisconsin to Kenosha. There is no other city by that name in this country, and since it is a well-known city, and one of the largest on the Lake Michigan coast, the state name is not required. I just figured I would let you know why I was undoing your edit. Lord Laitinen (talk) 23:09, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
  • In my edit summary for the article move, I included a link to WP:USPLACE, which contains the agreed guidelines for naming US cities. Here's a quote of the relevant part:

Articles on populated places in the United States are typically titled Placename, State (the "comma convention"). (...) Cities listed in the AP Stylebook as not requiring the state modifier in newspaper articles have their articles named [[City]] unless they are not the primary or only topic for that name. In other cases, this guideline recommends following the "comma convention" as described above.

So it doesn't matter that Kenosha, Wisconsin, is the only city of that name. The guidelines says that all US cities should use the [[name, state]] format, excepting only certain major cities listed in the AP stylebook (e.g. Chicago, Los Angeles, Detroit, Dallas). Please return the article title to the agreed format. Colonies Chris (talk) 23:25, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Chris, do you know anything as to why the Kenosha Facebook location page title got moved along with the Wikipedia title? MikeM2011 (talk) 00:10, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

I think this must be one of the many FB Community Pages automatically generated from a Wikipedia article. There's an article about it here "Facebook Links Profiles to Pages, Taps Wikipedia for Community Pages " . So when the WP article's name was changed, so was the FB page, it seems.
