Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 04:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Short descriptions are navigational aids, not definitions.

I am asking you again to please refrain from editing short descriptions unless you understand what their purpose is, as explained on WP:SHORTDESC. It is ultimately disruptive and creates work for other editors to clean up. Please ask somewhere like Wikipedia talk:Short description or the Teahouse if you are still confused before making further changes to short descriptions. Thanks.

See: Wikipedia:Teahouse#"Head of state" and "head of government" as short description. Ferretville (talk) 23:24, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Food and Drug Administration, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Yes, FDA does redirect to Food and Drug Administration, and if someone types "FDA" looking for the Federal Department of Agriculture we want to tell them to look under United States Department of Agriculture.

You are not blocked as a sock of the admin user:Ferret. You are blocked as a sock of Arb Com-blocked user:SwissArmyGuy. Meters (talk) 08:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

@Meters: I'm the only legitimate and trusted user. Ferretville (talk) 09:27, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Please don't ping me. After your block on your master account you lost talk page and email privileges for your actions. Don't start again. Meters (talk) 09:33, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

@Meters: This is my last will, my last action, soon after, I will be transitioned from ArbCom-banned to WMF-legal banned or community banned (via RFC on Meta). Ferretville (talk) 09:37, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
