Disambiguation link notification for November 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Christian Gerhartsreiter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lifetime (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) 07:42, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Warning on Ron Cutler

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information. Michepman (talk) 01:36, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Edit warring on Sanford Capital

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

November 2019

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.

Be aware that if you have already been warned by others about non-constructive edits, you will benefit greatly hereon-in by ensuring you explain what type of edit you are making to pages. If you simply remove content without explanation (as you did here) you will find other editors will take a dim view of your actions and may start to scrutinise each one very closely.   Thanks! Nick Moyes (talk) 02:08, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Nick Moyes - Thank you for letting me know. Going forward I will make sure to be more diligent about using edit summaries. To clarify, the edit that you are referring to at Karl Racine was just me adding information about Racine's successful 2018 bid for DC Attorney General. I noticed that the article only referenced his initial 2014 election but left out the fact that he was recently re-elected. I did not remove content from that article. Again, I understand that I should have used an edit summary and will ensure that this is done in the future. Omanlured (talk) 13:55, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

No worries - thank you very much. Firstly, there's a handy trick to ensure you never forget to leave an edit summary, and that's to go to your Preferences and click the Editing Tab and put a tick in the box where it says "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". If you try to save without one, you get a helpful reminder. It really is sooo useful.

Secondly, I believe I owe you an apology. At 2am local time (i.e. I rather late and I should have been paying more attention!), I appear to have reverted an edit of yours, and accused you of removing cited content, rather than actually adding it, as another user has pointed out at ANI. I just wan't to say I'm terribly sorry if this has caused you upset, and there appears to be a bit of an unfair 'pile on' against your edits, which I don't think was justified in this instance. I've only just got back home and have seen the ANI updates, a well as your message. I haven't gone back through all your past edits - nor do I feel I need to right now - but you should be applauded for remaining calm and polite on refuting this matter. It does you great credit, and once again, I'm sorry if my participation hasn't been as supportive as it should have been. If you ever have need of any advice or help on editing matters, feel free to visit The Teahouse where you're free to ask any editing-related questions you may have. Kind regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 18:45, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Nick Moyes - No worries! It happens to everyone! I really appreciated the advice you gave about the edit summary; I've gone ahead and enabled that feature, and it looks like there a bunch of other useful tools in the same section that I'll start using soon.

March 2020

Hello, I'm Ost316. I noticed that you recently removed content from United States v. Briggs 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. It is inappropriate to blank pages that you did not create. Please nominate a page for deletion if you believe that it should not exist. Ost (talk) 17:10, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

@Ost316: - Thank you for your message. I apologize for the mistake that I made with that page. My intention was not to blank it but to remove the redirect which I believe is inappropriate. There are actually at least two cases called "United States v. Briggs"; there is one that is from 1847 which is the one that the redirect was attempting to point to, and another from 2020. I noticed this mistaken redirect when I followed a link from List of pending United States Supreme Court cases and discovered that the entry for United States v. Briggs was redirected to Taney Court -- which may have been appropriate in 2012 but is no longer so now. I hope this clarifies what I was doing; please let me know if there are any other issues or revert my subsequent edit if necessary. Omanlured (talk) 17:26, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation may be an acceptable approach, but I don't know enough about the notability of either case to determine if either is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It appears another editor disagrees with the dab approach, so further discussion is warranted. I've edited the wikilink on the pending cases page to make it clear that this is not the same case. —Ost (talk) 17:51, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Ost316 - Thank you for that. I don't want to edit war over this since it's a very minor issue, so I will leave the United States v. Briggs page alone. I do think your edit to the pending cases page solves the problem that I had. The 2020 case will probably get a lot more news coverage in the future once it is decided since it is on a relatively hot button issue (Sexual assault in the United States military) but for right now I think your edit solves the problem. Thanks again, Omanlured (talk) 17:58, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Unexplained page blanking on United States v. Briggs

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you.
