Dmy dates

Hi. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed on a number of pages including this recent one: [1] that you have been changing dates from the DMY format to the MDY format on pages where at the top of the page source it has the following text: {{Use dmy dates|date=August 2014}}. When this template is used on a page it means that the dates should be formatted as "6 February 2017", not "February 6, 2017". This page might explain this is in more detail. If you have any questions please leave a message on my talk page. Regards — Iambic Pentameter _{(talk / contribs)} 13:49, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Billy Watson

Hey. Do you have any sources that could verify that Billy Watson really died back in 2007? OscarL 21:30, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

I went on Ancestry.com and found 3 family trees that listed his death as April 25, 2007. It said that Louise and Garry were still alive though.

Billy was said to be alive at the time of Coy Watson, Jr.'s death in 2009, though.

It was likely a mistake because of all the evidence I found that he died in 2007. in the family trees it listed him as William D. Watson born on December 25, 1922 and the obituary I found, http://arizonaobits.tributes.com/obituary/show/William-D.-Watson-80368207, has the name and birth date and says he died in 2007.OscarL 17:59, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

RfC for the inclusion of Masters Athletes

Hello! Just in case you didn't see it, I started an RfC to stem off the brewing edit war on List of living centenarians. I hope it helps – 𝕘wendy | ☎  14:48, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

May 2017

Hello, I'm Gwendy. I noticed that you recently removed content from List of living centenarians without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. – 𝕘wendy | ☎  00:06, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Deaths in 2017, without citing a reliable source.

"Come at me bitch"

Someone reported you for this, and you know, I've heard worse--but I have not often heard worse than this. Perhaps you remember what you said about the person; it's certainly blockable, for a week, at least. Drmies (talk) 02:45, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

May 2017

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for contravening Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Drmies (talk) 02:46, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Your edit summary here

An IP reported you at AIV for the edit summary you left with your edit here, which was later removed since the user was reporting something that was not vandalism. However, this does not excuse your behavior here. Please do not leave edit summaries that are uncivil and make personal attacks toward other users. It it not an acceptable behavior, and it doesn't help any dispute come to proper resolution. Thank you for understanding. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:46, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

June 2017

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of living centenarians. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

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; 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. -- There'sNoTime ^{(to explain)} 11:11, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rosa Bouglione

The article Rosa Bouglione has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability - turning 100 as matriarch of a circus family really isn't enough, sorry.

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. PamD 07:04, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Rosa Bouglione for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Rosa Bouglione is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rosa Bouglione until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. PamD 07:49, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Helli Stehle on her 109th birthday.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Helli Stehle on her 109th birthday.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 11:28, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Is there a way that I can just remove it?

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:DerbyCountyinNZ. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:25, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

List of oldest living Major League Baseball players

Please don't remove a players name from this list unless the player dies. Our goal is to get every living former MLB player on this list.

No, the goal is to list the top 100 oldest players. And the hidden section is only there so a new person can be easily added whenever someone dies.--Dorglorg (talk) 05:51, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

You realize, I hope...

...that on Wikipedia, deletion of a talk page comment -- which you have the right to do -- is generally taken as being an indication that you have read and acknowledged the comment you deleted. So, in regard to my warning to both of you (which the other editor won't see because you deleted it), deleting it is not like making it not have happened.. Now, you may delete this, if you like. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:14, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I realize that. I deleted his post because I've done nothing wrong and so his threat and warning were totally empty.--Dorglorg (talk) 01:24, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

You most certainly did do something wrong. And that's where we have a problem. You reverted my correct and viable edit and replaced it with your incorrect edit. And when I warned you of what you did and why it was wrong, you acted in a most immature and arrogant manner. You were not correct in reversing my edit because it was (5 minutes early) and you are never correct replacing a correct edit with one that is in error as you did. Your childish behavior is not going to be tolerated on wikipedia.TFBCT1 (talk) 04:29, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Once more, with feeling: please take it to the article talk page, where other editors can have their say as well. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:10, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

It was not updated in substance on 04/13/2018. It was only commented on. The article is from 03/31/2018 and is written in the future tense and is not a valid source. Find one from 04/01/2018 or later.TFBCT1 (talk) 01:03, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
