"Supreme Leader"

Please read the discussion at Talk: Kim Jong-un . The title "Supreme Leader" was removed from the DPRK constitution about 7 years ago, and the current leader does not hold that title despite casual use by Western sources.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to George Dewey, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - ^theWOLFchild 09:41, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Korean Empire, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Korean (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:28, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Marxism 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 BRD 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Acroterion (talk) 21:41, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

See WP:LEDE for the manual of style concerning lead paragraphs, and stop edit-warring - use the talkpage to discuss why your change is desirable. Acroterion (talk) 21:42, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

MOS:JOBTITLES

Have you read it? Dicklyon (talk) 03:53, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

You have ignored hidden comments about this in at least two articles, simply because you didn't know the definition of the term "definite article" and therefore didn't understand the MoS guideline. The hidden comments are put there precisely to inform editors unfamiliar with the situation surrounding capitalization of job titles, and they should not be ignored or removed without discussion. I hope you have stopped doing that. ―Mandruss ☎ 07:46, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Please do not make selective changes to articles. Either decapitalize all intros of British monarchs, or none. Same with Russian presidents or other set of bio articles. GoodDay (talk) 20:53, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia formatting, I don't make the rules, I just help edit them even if it's only a couple of sentences/articles at a time. Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 21:01, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

My advice, edit a series of articles in chronological order. You may want to be begin with Anne, Queen of Great Britain for British monarchs. Same with English monarchs & Scottish monarchs, Swedish monarchs, French monarchs, etc etc. GoodDay (talk) 21:08, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

You're still not following the formatting/guidelines, infact, you're preventing others from as well. Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 21:09, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

I'll be waiting to see if you're going to follow through & begin decapitalizing the intros of the other British monarchs. PS: You'll have a lot of fun, when you start decapitalizing at Boris Johnson & the other British prime ministers bio articles, too. GoodDay (talk) 21:20, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Liberty Korea Party

Firstly I want to thank for your input on your recent edit on Liberty Korea Party. However I want you to notice that none of the sources is biased. In South Korea there are two major Medias that are against on Liberty Korea Party. One is The Hankyoreh and the other one is Kyunghyang Shinmun. I excluded sources from those medias to keep objectivity on this article. I want you to read sources more specifically. Majority of sources is just telling the fact, not there own opinion. Lastly If you think I made a mistake or if you have other opinions on this issue please discuss on the talk page. I'm always open to your opinion. Thank you.

December 2019: edit warring again

Please do not revert article text without discussion on the talk page of that article first, as you've done on Margrethe II of Denmark and on other articles too. It's called edit warring and is of the most serious transgressions in Wikipedia work. We discuss on talk pages, not in edit summaries, and give anyone else a chance to opine who might be interested.

Hi Mechanical Keyboarder! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Edit warring

Memorial Day

"Had" implies that they have stopped dying, or that the ones who are currently dying are not honored by the day. E.G. "Those who had died in the war." "They had been there, but they are no longer there." "Have" implies that they continue to die, and continue to be honored. E.G. "Those who have died serving this country." "They have been there many times." "Have" is more open, "had" implies specificity. I'm sure there's a better way of explaining this, but I'm not exactly an expert in the minute details of English grammar. That'snice,Iguess (talk) 07:37, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

I've taught college and university writing for nearly 50 years, and there is a definite answer to this. It's a simple matter of the definition of the two tenses in question and the rules for their uses. "Have died" is the present perfect tense ("present" indicating the present form of the auxiliary verb "to have"). This is the single most commonly used tense in spoken and written English because it has multiple functions. The two most common are: 1) to indicate an action that started in the past and continues into the present, as "I have lived here for 20 years." 2) An action that occurred at an unspecified point in the past, as in "I have visited Italy."

"Had died" is the past perfect tense (past of auxiliary "to have"). This tense is rarely understood and frequently misused. It is usually called "pluperfect" in other European languages and sometimes in English. It has only one correct use in English. It expresses the older of two actions when the newer one is also expressed. For example, "I had finished my dinner before I went to the movie." The older action "finished" requires the "had" to indicate that it did not happen at the same time as the newer action "went." Truth to tell, most English speakers don't know this anymore and as I'm sure you know, they are likely to use the simple past in both clauses, as "I finished my dinner before I went to the movie." This is incorrect, but it's become so common that it's killing off the dear old past perfect tense - too bad, because as you can see in the correct sentence with the bolding, it can be very useful.

So in our article and as you can see in the passage above about present perfect, the correct grammar would be to write "have died" as the article currently does. The grammar that necessitates the use of "have" is rock solid. Regards, Sensei48 (talk) 06:38, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Union (United States)

Hello, Mechanical Keyboarder,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username CentreLeftRight, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged Union (United States) for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in draft space first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|CentreLeftRight}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Canadians, did not appear constructive and has 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. You do not get to arbitrarily change a lone-standing definition, and it certainly is not a minor edit, particularly when you have already been undone. Meters (talk) 03:23, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

You might want to read WP:BRD. "D" does not mean "Reinstate your contested edit, and then drop a note on the talk page." It means discuss the contested edit on the talk page and wait for other editors to comment and reach consensus.Meters (talk) 03:42, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Still misusing the minor edit feature over two years later, very inappropriate when claiming Volvo is "Chinese-controlled". TylerBurden (talk) 06:07, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Please explain how adding information about a company being controlled by a foreign country is inappropriate. Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 07:20, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

You don't seem to understand, read WP:MINOR, and stop misusing the feature that has been pointed out to you now multiple times. Volvo isn't "controlled" by China, Volvo Cars has a parent company that is Chinese. A Swedish company having an American or Chinese parent company doesn't mean that the US or China "controls" the company. This has been discussed on the article talk page, and what you added was WP:OR. I can see below you were edit warring about another China related topic, Zhu Yi (figure skater), so this isn't the first time you make questionable edits about China either.

TylerBurden (talk) 07:30, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

All enterprise in the People's Republic of China is under the control of Beijing regardless of whether a commercial entity labels itself as private. A company based in the People's Republic of China that has control over one company based in another puts it under effect control of Beijing. Your comment about that article that I had edited is completely irrelevant. Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 07:35, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

And all of that is your WP:OR, removing that someone is American born but adding that foreign companies are Chinese controlled seems pretty relevant to me, kinda like POV pushing. TylerBurden (talk) 07:42, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

What "POV pushing" are you inferring? Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 07:43, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Obviously a pro-China POV, removing that an American born athlete is American born to imply she is only Chinese, claiming a foreign company is actually controlled by "Beijing ". This looks like you are editing with a certain bias. TylerBurden (talk) 07:47, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Incorrect. Also Albert Einstein was a naturalized American but his article's lead sentence of being American was removed. Does that mean the editors of that article have an anti-American sentiment? Get over yourself. Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 07:50, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Whataboutism about Albert Einstein isn't very convincing when we have these two clear examples of you on one hand downplaying foreign influence on a Chinese person, and on the other overstating Chinese influence on a foreign company. TylerBurden (talk) 07:52, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Your whataboutism about Zhu Yi has no bearing on the issue of Volvo being under Chinese control. Zhu renounced her US citizenship and her history and relations with the US are severed and in the past and have no relevance to her as figure skating performance post-renouncement. Volvo is currently under control of Beijing as of right now whether you believe or like it or not. Just swallow your Swedish pride and accept reality. Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 07:55, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

"Swedish pride" lol it seems a nerve has been struck. You can believe what you want to believe, what you can't do is go around and report your beliefs as facts on a neutral encyclopedia. Either way this interesting connection has been noted and will be taken to the appropriate venues if necessary. TylerBurden (talk) 07:59, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

The only nerve here is you assuming the wrong things. lol Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 08:03, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Well my belief is when the personal attacks based on assumed nationality begin, the point has been made. But I can see why you would not be fond of someone noticing this tendency. Again, there's venues that deals with stuff like this, but I don't think we've reached that point (quite) yet. TylerBurden (talk) 08:05, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

"personal attacks"? Seems like a nerve really has been struck. You can continue have the Volvo Cars article mislead readers into thinking it's an independent and solely Swedish entity, I don't care anymore. Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 08:10, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

The topic of your last edit is being discussed at present on the talk page for this article, please refrain from making any edits until consensus has been reached, as that can only be considered non-constructive and vandalism. It is also an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the issues, which I think will help a lot. Additionally, your edit note referred to the use of the term in foreign languages, but this is after all English wikipedia, so no. Regards, Hesperian Nguyen (talk) 23:31, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

I think you forgot that that term isn't from English nor is English, and that article is about its usage in other languages. Mechanical Keyboarder (talk) 08:48, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

The article is about its use in English, because yes, its derivation is from Spanish, but now it also exists in English and this is English Wikipedia. Again, refrain from editing the lead until the Rfc is satisfied. Hesperian Nguyen (talk) 13:57, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Lead sentences

Hi there Mechanical Keyboarder! I don't believe we had ever interacted prior to our coinciding edits on Christian Bale (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). I'm KyleJoan. Nice to meet you! I'm writing because I see you've been editing lead sentences in various biographies of living persons, especially those with British ties. Please observe Wikipedia:Nationality of people from the United Kingdom before you do this because there could be reasons as to why the existing descriptions of certain figures say British or English or Welsh. MOS:ROLEBIO is also relevant because there are many situations where the description in reliable sources differs from one's citizenship (e.g., Timothée Chalamet (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), who holds US and French citizenship, is most often described as an American actor). In Bale's case, there have been multiple consensuses to describe him as English, this being the most recent one. Please also ensure that your edit summaries accurately describe your changes because you did not properly summarize your removal of material about Bale's notable traits as an actor from the first paragraph. Hope this helps! KyleJoan^talk 03:43, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography. 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:

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 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. —Bagumba (talk) 07:14, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Joe Biden. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Specifically, "U.S." does not require expansion per MOS:ABBR, and infoboxes anyways allow more liberal use of abbreviations per WP:INFOBOXSTYLE. —Bagumba (talk) 07:36, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

It appears that you tried to give HK 4.6×30mm a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into 4.6×30mm. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Triumph Speed Twin 900 moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Triumph Speed Twin 900, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Proposed deletion of Nepotism baby

The article Nepotism baby has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable neologism. Everything here can and should be covered by the nepotism article.

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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Avoiding cut-and-paste moves (2nd notice)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

December 2023

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 Jessica Jung, 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. Thank you. — 🎄☃️ Paper9oll ☃️🎄 (🔔 • 📝) 07:19, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jessica Jung. 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:

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 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. — 🎄☃️ Paper9oll ☃️🎄 (🔔 • 📝) 07:19, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in First Republic of Korea, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. The term "First Republic of Korea" may indicate a sequential government, but it is still a historical political entity, and should be capitalized according to the Wikipedia Manual of Style at MOS:INSTITUTIONS. Furthermore, capitalizing "first" and "second" when referring to historical government entities is the current general consensus on Wikipedia, and the article for First Republic of Korea should reflect that consensus. Please refer to articles such as the Second Republic of Venezuela, the Second Republic of Uganda, the Second Polish Republic, and the Second Spanish Republic. If you disagree, I'm open to further discussion on the article talk page, but please do not undo further revisions without discussion. metro (💬|📝) 06:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I have reverted your edit at Masalit massacres (2023–present), see Talk:Masalit massacres (2023–present)#Requested move 12 November 2023 for more details. Please start a discussion before moving the page FuzzyMagma (talk) 17:12, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm CurryTime7-24. I noticed that you recently removed content from Pocho 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 your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Comparatively speaking, your preferred version of the article was disorganized and relied mostly on original research (it had been tagged for OR since 2014). Please do not remove cited material and make sure to cite new material from verifiable and reliable sources. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 19:00, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Yamaha YZF-R9 moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Yamaha YZF-R9. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:12, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
