Bypassing redirects
editI noticed that you spent a lot of time bypassing the redirects on New York State Route 28. This is normally a worthless activity, but in some cases, you could be breaking the article in the future.
Take, for example, the change from "County Route 2 (Delaware County, New York)" to "List of county routes in Delaware County, New York#2". If that specific county route is split back out into a separate article, this article will not link to it. If an article about the General Location of National System of Interstate Highways were to be written, and this is a good possibility, by bypassing the redirect to "Interstate Highway System#History" means this article will point to the wrong place. You should read WP:NOTBROKEN. Imzadi 1979 → 00:28, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
- You many not like it, but bypassing redirects like that causes issues. Now, you've been reverted twice on one article, and once on another, both FAs. I'm formally invoking WP:BRD here: you were Bold, but you've been Reverted, now it's time to Discuss. Imzadi 1979 → 17:53, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
- "It's because I want these pages to redirect without saying 'Redirect from...' below the title" is not a valid reason to make those edits. For the third time, I call on you to read WP:NOTBROKEN and to engage in discussion, not reversion. Continuing to avoid collaborative discussion here on your talk page could gain the attention of administrators willing to block you from editing to force you to engage in discussion. If you can't collaborate with others, you don't belong on a crowd-sourced website like this. Imzadi 1979 → 22:06, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

editYour recent edit at CBS Television Distribution has been reverted. Trivialist and I had a discussion recently about unsourced library lists on television studio articles. We can see if they had references next to them, but they STAY gone until you provide a tremendous amount of references so the list can survive. If not, leave it alone, and have a nice day.

editHello. Are these edits really necessary? The links that were linked prior to your edits goes to the same website. To me it makes no since at all to add the extra ".../home" or whatever it says after the main www.---.com.
Notable people
editHello. Please do not add staff members to news station articles unless they are notable. In the words of another user:
“ | Lists of people must meet the criteria listed at WP:LISTPEOPLE. Articles have been protected to prevent these additions and/or the editors in question blocked when they persistently continue to reinsert inappropriate material. If a name is included in the article in this way, it has to show that it's relevant to the subject by meeting WP:LISTPEOPLE. Just because a station lists its employees doesn't mean Wikipedia needs to as well, and other station articles needing similar cleanup doesn't mean this one doesn't need to be cleaned up, because whenever it's actually discussed on a station article, the end result is the same; the names that don't meet WP:LISTPEOPLE are removed. Wikipedia is also not a directory. See here, here, and here for previous discussions about this. | ” |
In other words -- Don't add names that do not have an article! Also, it was unsourced. Adding unsourced content is not allowed, so please let this be your general warning. Corkythehornetfan | Chat? 00:58, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

I know people may want to learn how to speak the names in Chinese, but for non-native Chinese speakers, if they don't know the language, they're hardly going to care about how to say these characters. If they speak Chinese, like me, they don't need the aid of pinyin anyway. Epic Genius (talk) 03:08, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Dumbo's Circus. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:09, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

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.

TV Templates
editHello. I just wanted to let you know that I have reverted your edits on the Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles TV templates. The way you layout the TV stations make it way too cluttered because you put all of the stations in one section and makes it look very un-organized. For example, you decided to bunch up all of the stations for New York City and de-categorize them. Not very accessible for easy look-up. And for the Delaware Valley TV stations, you bunched every station up. Please leave the old layouts as they are. Thank you for your consideration. --Skeeball93 (talk) 18:21, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- I have to echo this, and adding cities of license to the templates is completely unneeded. Please keep them organized. Nate • (chatter) 09:34, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Walmart
editHello, DJV -- I noticed your edits to Walmart, including this one and the one following it. The first one was made while a Guild of Copy Editors notice was posted asking editors as a courtesy to refrain from editing until the notice is removed as a major copy-edit was underway. We came very close to having an edit conflict while I was in the middle of re-arranging several sections in the article. The second one followed so closely upon my edit removing the notice that it almost looks as if you hadn't noticed the GOCE notice. In the future, try to notice whether there is a "GOCE in use" template notice at the beginning of the article. Thanks. – Corinne (talk) 00:38, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, DJV11181988. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Walmart, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
- instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk}

Edit warring and edit summaries
editHi again DJV11181988. I continue to be concerned over your editing pattern. Please give these questions and requests serious consideration.
1) Are you affiliated with Walmart? WP:COI is the link to read on this one.
2) Could you please use edit-summaries? Help:Edit summary may be of use here
3) Please don't edit-war: it harms collaboration and will lead to a block if I see you continuing. WP:EDITWAR is the policy link.
4) Discuss your edits in article talk; in looking through your contributions this is something I do not see and I need to see it.
I will continue to look at your edits. If I see no improvement I will block you again. This will be for a week next time. Please take the time to read these links, and change your editing behaviour in accordance with our community norms. Thank you. --John (talk) 16:26, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
- Please use edit summaries, as requested above. You know how to do it as you did it here. If you don't explain what you are doing, why should others let your edits stand? Then you get into edit warring, which you have been warned for before. Please also discuss edits in talk, as previously requested. Please reply here to this request indicating that you understand what I am asking. Please do not just ignore this and carry on editing without edit summaries or discussion. --John (talk) 16:27, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Editing the lead and infoboxes
editHello,
As I have stated regarding the addition of information to the lead, per the Manual of Style requirements listed in WP:Lead:
- the lead should not contain information that is not found in the body of the article.
- the lead provides a summary of information found in the article.
- the lead should not be cited as it is a summary of the article, citations should be placed in the body.
also from the MoS requirements found in WP:Infoboxes
- an info box provides a summary of information found in the article.
The reason I keep reverting your changes is because the information you have added to the lead isn't contained elsewhere in the article. In some cases, the changes you made would be grounds for a review of Good Article status. The same goes for the infoboxes, they are summaries that do not need every fact and figure about the company - only quick facts that are explained in detail in the article.
Also, the reason I keep removing the specific number of stores is because it is constantly changing. E.G. Yes, Burger King states that it had 15,003 stores in its 2015 10-K statement; however that was as of December 31, 2015. Since then the company has released two 8-K forms which state different numbers. Stores have closed, stores have opened and that number is no longer accurate. That is why I changed it to 15,000+; that number gives the reader a good idea of the size of the company's operations and will not become outdated as quickly.
Please stop insisting that articles must have the information because of your personal opinion and provide a valid, policy based reason why these changes are proper. I've given you my reasons why I reverted your changes, its your turn to stop edit warring and provide a reason why they should stay. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 17:44, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Time Warner Cable, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Best Friends Whenever
editIf you haven't already, you need to read this discussion on that article's talk page at Talk:Best Friends Whenever#About show's "apparent" cancellation (and possibly contribute to the discussion) regarding what sources have come out about the cancellation of the show, and why we are not accepting them ... and are in need of reliable ones that clearly indicate that Disney Channel has officially cancelled the show. You have been given enough warning already about why we are not accepting the edits you have made at Best Friends Whenever, List of programs broadcast by Disney Channel, List of Disney Channel series, and Template:Disney Channel Original Series, yet you continue to restore these edits in the foregoing articles without giving any feedback to the editors who have reverted you. It may be true the show has been cancelled, and the indications from the sources that have been brought forth by you or other editors point toward that, but none of these sources are clearly speaking on behalf of Disney Channel. Even the M Magazine source currently used in the Best Friends Whenever article is sketchy based on their leaning toward gossip - we need solid proof from an official Disney representative/executive or a source unequivocally reporting on their behalf to indicate the series' cancellation.

San Diego Radio
editWelcome to WikiProject Radio! Because most HD Radio channels are usually linked to a radio network, and the network's slogans are not relevant to the overall station itself, I have reverted your edits on the five iHeart San Diego radio stations. You should also note that most stations use RDS systems, which also carry slogans. The slogans stated on their official webpage, which may match the RDS readings is to act as the official primary slogan. However, On-air statements may differ, which are secondary and tertiary slogans. Exact On-Air readings, which may be longer (essentially a mission statement), do not necessarily apply. And as a San Diego native, I am ensuring that the slogans match that of the RDS, If not the official webpage.
Furthermore, you need to use the edit summaries, located just above the Publish Changes button, so that future editors and administrators can see what exactly happened.
Please DO NOT restore your edits, HD slogans are usually linked to networks, and should only be linked to articles on those networks. However, If you want to create an article on the Breeze network, You may do so.

San Diego TV
editHi, Thanks for your contributions.
I have noticed when you edited the infobox for KNSD, you added KCST-TV calls, the suffix actually was added in 1980, per the REC California TV database, I have cited the database in the article for reference. I use the REC database to monitor for callsign changes, callsign history, and repeaters. Also: I have previously contacted you regarding our radio stations in San Diego, but now for TV stations, for callsign history, please be sure you use a database that records callsign history for accuracy before placing it into an infobox.
Again, as a resident of San Diego, I monitor Radio and TV stations in the area for accuracy. In addition, I also know about some of the top rated radio stations in Los Angeles.
To Acknowledge this message, Reply by clicking edit next to the section title, go underneath this text (including the sigs), and begin the reply with an asterisk, and if there is anything you still don't get about radio or TV, please message me on my talk page.

Sears
editPlease stop editing the article to report on the individual Sears store closure at the Cross County Shopping Center in Yonkers, New York. As I explained in reverting your edit (twice), the article Sears is about the national retailer. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The closure of individual store locations does not belong in the article. That's why you don't see every store among the 500 or so closed in 2018, much less those closed prior to last year, listed in the article. The only mention of specific stores refers to the closure of the last Sears store in several states. It appears that that event with regard to the state of New York is not occuring now and may not occur for some time. General Ization Talk 18:52, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

You currently appear to be 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. 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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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.

templates
editHi. I just wanted to chat for a second about a couple of edits you made/reversions I made, so as you won't think I'm just trying to pick on you or give you a hard time.
In regards to edits you made on both the Buffalo and Pittsburgh TV templates (that I have since reverted), it needs to be pointed out that even though some stations are piggy-backing on other's spectrums for their physical channel, their virtual channels - which is what people go by and what the stations promote themselves as - remain the same, and thus that is what we go by on the template.
Since the templates go by virtual channel, that is the only one that matters. So in Pittsburgh for instance, WPNT is piggybacking off of WTAE and WPGH for their ATSC 1.0 physical channel/subchannels...OK. Virtually though, they still come up/redirect as channel 22.1, 22.2, etc., which is what people know it as, and the number they use on their clicker to watch it. Truthfully, most probably don't even know (or care about) the technical geeky stuff about how physical channels work and spectrums and so forth.
Same goes for WNYO in Buffalo...piggybacking physical channels off others, but virtually still coming up as 49.1, 49.2, etc.
So as far as the templates go, physical channels and spectrums are irrelevant, as at the end of the day, it's the virtual one that matters.
Thank you.
Vjmlhds (talk) 23:15, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Whoa! I see you've done the same thing to the templates in Seattle, Salt Lake, Tampa, and Columbus (and probably more I haven't gotten too/seen yet). It doesn't matter if every station in town uses the physical channel/spectrum of just one, as long as they have different virtual channels (and call letters), that's how we list them in the templates. Vjmlhds (talk) 23:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Add Portland, Detroit, and Raleigh-Durham to the list as well. Can't be doing that. As long as virtual channel so-and-so still exists with it's own call letters, that how it gets listed in the template. Physical channels and spectrums don't matter, and as I said before no one except the hardcore techno geeks really even really care when you get right down to it. Vjmlhds (talk) 20:02, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- Add Vegas, Denver, Sacramento, Phoenix. That's 13 cities that had to get undone. Once again, physical channels and spectrums are absolutely irrelevant as far as the templates go...we go by virtual channels, as that's how they appear on people's TVs. Gunking things with the techno geek stuff just confuses people. So please refrain from doing that in the future. Vjmlhds (talk) 22:23, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
- And with Nashville and OKC now taken care of, that makes 15 templates that needed to be fixed. I think I got them all. Don't do that again. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:40, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
Palisades Center
editHi. Please do not add uncited material to articles, as you did with this edit to Palisades Center. The sources cited for the two passages in question do not say what you indicated in your edits, and after having accumulated over 13,000 edits here since 2014, I'm guessing that you're probably aware that this violates Wikipedia policy. If you want to change that information, please do so only if you can accompany it with citations of sources of greater reliability or of more recent publication. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 20:01, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Do not revert the article again. You not reverted your policy violations, you removed the other edits I made, including the addition of a new source, the addition of templates, etc.
- If you believe that your edits are not policy violations, then please discuss it with me, and we'll see it if we can come to some type of agreement. Otherwise, if you revert it again, I will contact an administrator and have you blocked. Nightscream (talk) 20:15, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
You have been here long enough to know how WP:BRD works, and what WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS are. You made an edit, I undid it and explained on the talk page. It's up to you to get consensus for your edits. Unsourced claims such as yours have been a problem for quite a while on this article. I pinged you to the talk page, so you can't even claim that you didn't know this was an issue. Unless you have reliable sources that explicitly say how many stores there are and in which states, you cannot make these claims. Meters (talk) 19:31, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- I Know this was not directed to me, but this is relevant: If you didn't delete what I SOURCED and put on the Talk page, you would have been able to see (IN A SOURCED FORMAT) exactly which stores are left in which jurisdictions.

editThanks for uploading File:WHAMNewestLogo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

editPlease stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at List of Coop & Cami Ask the World episodes, you may be blocked from editing. You have a long history of adding unsourced material and other disruptive behavior. Drmies (talk) 00:23, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Kmart. Please read WP:OR and WP:SYNTH Meters (talk) 19:41, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

KFOR-TV table
editSome time ago, I removed all of the {{hidden}} templates for translator lists in articles because that template straight up says in its documentation, Generally, collapsible templates should not be used in articles.
We've also been moving away from tables with excessive technical information on individual translators to this list format. This actually came up at the GAN of another TV station page. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:03, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- I guess you did not notice the second sentence. We've been moving to that format and away from tables—even outside of hidden tags! for all sorts of reasons. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:40, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

"Master control" in lead paragraphs
editThe reason I have been reverting these additions is because they simply are not important enough for that position in the article, and arguably they are crufty. At the top of an article, that is too much detail. See MOS:OPEN.
It's 2022. Most TV stations have off-site or hubbed master control now. We don't need to include that as a fact. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:27, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

editYou currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on KSTU. 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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 19:17, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
