Sheriff of London Charity Shield Comment

edit

Hi there, I have just seen your partial revert of my recent edits to include the Sheriff of London Charity Shield in the list of competitive honours. I have previously posted my suggestion to add this honour to the List of football clubs in England by competitive honours won on the page's talk page and there have been no objections. The Sheriff of London Charity Shield was a competitive honour and closer to the season between 1898-1907, of course it does not have the status of the the league or cups but it is a competitive honour contested by the first teams of elite clubs (winners of the FA Cup/league). Because Liverpool don't list it as an honour doesn't mean that it should be removed. I suggest that you look at the page for the Sheriff of London Charity Shield and see how the trophy (effectively an early super cup) was ratified by the FA and actually had the FA president, former president and secretary on its committee. It is formally recognised by the FA as the predecessor to the FA community shield and was a competitive match with very high attendances. There are numerous written references including newspapers and books referenced on the article in question.

Can I kindly suggest that if you have any editorial queries that you post them on the talk page or talk page of the specific editor before reverting? The edit you made to the page only reverted two out of the 10 Shields awarded and hence left the article incomplete. Mountaincirque 10:23, 6 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello! and Note on Minor Edits

edit

Hi there Kronix1986! I recently noticed the numerous cleanup and improvement efforts you've made; thank you for all of your hard work and effort over the years.

I do want to make a quick note about "minor edits". Wikipedia does have the checkbox to mark edits as minor, but that should be reserved only for things like fixing misspellings and other typographical errors, minor formatting errors, rearrangement of text, that do not change the content or meaning of the article in any way (with the exception of immediate reversion of obvious vandalism).

Some of your previous edits are marked as minor and don't fit into this definition. Even changing one word that adds or modifies content to an article is a major edit. Not to worry, no need to go back and change any of your previous minor edits, but please keep this in mind for future edits and only click minor for things that I mentioned above. If anything isn't clear about this, please see the Wikipedia page on minor edits or feel free to ask for clarification!

Cheers and thanks much!

Go actually read the talk page before you blindly edit. MoS prohibits inclusion of birthplace or previous nationalities in the lead

 

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently 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. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

There is literally nothing that prohibits using the hometown parameter of the athlete template. Stop making things up. The rule is to not include birthplace IN THE LEAD. NOT from using hometown parameter of athlete template. I already partially explained this to you in the talk page.   Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sifan Hassan. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

National varieties of English

edit

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page Yard, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. NebY (talk) 12:45, 20 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
