October 2017

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2017. 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. –Davey2010^Talk 15:19, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

November 2017

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to 2017— because it did not appear constructive. 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.

December 2017

Hello. You are another addition in the list of users that insist on reverting my edits in 2017 without, apparently, having much, or any, knowledge about the people in question and frankly I am disappointed. I had started to think you are biased against Greeks in some way, but I see now that I am not the only one to have received this kind of special treatment, on your part. Still, I do not wish to engage in another edit war, so if you don't have any solid proof that these people's contribution is insignificant compared to others' in this section, please do not make changes.–Chris Liak (talk) 11:45, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

This issue isn’t the bias, the issue is you’re adding people from months ago without using the talk page. There’s a reason why there’s a talk page to debate about stuff to be added, but you’re not using it at all. Instead, you’re just adding you’re edits and saying you’re absolutely right with no discussion. I’d recommend you use the talk page so the people you’re continually adding may have a chance of being added to the 2017 page. Otherwise, myself and others may continue to revert your edits.

Personal attacks and civility

Regarding your comments over at Talk:2018, you might want to familiarize yourself with the policy on personal attacks. Accusing someone of making attacks without providing evidence of those attacks can be considered an attack in itself, so you need to be careful with that. From my interpretation of your comment, the behavior you objected to isn't making personal attacks but rather violating the civility policy, namely the first tenet: Participate in a respectful and considerate way. Personal attacks are taken more seriously than many other violations of the civility policy. Also, I notice that you were never welcomed, so I'll post a welcome message with a whole bunch of links that I hope you'll find useful. Cheers, -- irn (talk) 00:27, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
