STOP!
editYou are blundering all over the place and creating wreckage. STOP moving Arctocephalus forsteri and related pages around like a maniac! You don't know what you are doing, and other people have to clean it up after you. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:17, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Moving pages
editYou need consensus to move pages. You can do this by discussing your proposed changes on the appropriate talk page. --DL6443 (talk • contribs) 23:47, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- You have been asked before not to dick around with the naming of that particular article without consensus. And it does not help that when you move it, you spell "water moccasin" wrong! (see the double c?) Please stop this. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:31, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
Since what you emailed me did not seem to be confidential, this is better dealt with here - this kind of discussion is what editor's talk pages are for.
Re the specific question, should Homarus gammarus be moved to a common name? You will often find that this type of question has already been discussed on the talk page of the article in question. In this case, at Talk:Homarus gammarus#Should this article be moved to Common lobster? Not exactly a long exchange, but the obvious arguments are already given here: we title the article by what is most commonly employed in the reliable references that are in use for sourcing the article. In this case that is the scientific rather than any of the common names, so that would indicate that the name should not be changed. (Other considerations will apply for other topics, e.g. if there are multiple organisms that share the same common name, etc.)
In any case, to determine whether an article should be moved, you should start a discussion on that article's talk page first and get the opinion of multiple other editors, then act according to consensus. That's how Wikipedia is run, and ignoring this approach will lead to trouble, as you have found. Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:42, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Cassiopeia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Triforce, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Cassiopeia talk 02:07, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
