Edit warring
editHi there Saw. I understand that it can be very frustrating when you take time to make what you feel is a positive change to an article and another editor simply reverts it with the click of a button. Even more frustrating is when the editor is rude or dismissive when you try to discuss your changes. And while I have warned the other editor that their behavior is not okay, they're not the only one in the wrong. You were edit warring as well. The best advice I can give you is that if your edits are being reverted, try to discuss the changes, and if that doesn't work, pursue dispute resolution (see below link). If it all seems like more trouble and frustration than it's worth, perhaps you should consider just letting it go. I can name numerous things I view as problems in articles, that I've tried to fix, and have been reverted. Simply walking away from conflicts will save you a lot of energy, and certainly contributed to my becoming an admin. Anyway, since you're a new user, here are some pages that every user here should be familiar with. If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to let me know.
- WP:Edit warring (specific rules on edit warring)
- WP:3RR (a must-know rule that will get you blocked if broken)
- WP:BRD (if you're reverted, don't edit war - discuss instead)
- WP:DR (dispute resolution processes) Swarm X 03:50, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking the time to respond, but if I may, how exactly am I in the "wrong" more than him? I wasn't the one who instigated the wars, at all, nor did I attack him, at all. All I simply wanted to do was update the infobox properly, and the one who was standing in the way was also "rude and dismissive." ---Saw1998 (talk) 12:51, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
- I'll still gladly try to work with you in the future, there's no hard feelings or were any personal attacks made. And I'll try and not sound aggressive or whatever here, but, you are in the wrong because the edits you were making were not helping the article. You still glossed over my list (which was written to your benefit) that laid out every single change that was made that was either incorrect or unhelpful. Besides the color and the addition of the theme song, everything else was incorrectly done. I'd really like you to understand what you were doing wrong, because you still seem to not understand or at least acknowledge it. Thanks. Drovethrughosts (talk) 22:07, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response, but I wasn't talking (or writing) to you-- I value the input of an administrator more.---Saw1998 (talk) 22:23, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your continuing to be ignorant or your acknowledgement/understanding of your errors whatsoever. That's what the issue is, not edit warring/3RR B.S., it's the actual content of the edits that was the problem. That's all I was looking for, but since you're not bothering to do that... Moving on...

- It's unfortunate that I offered a small olive branch to you, yet you stepped on it. I don't understand. All I was looking for after this issue was resolved was you to own up to your mistakes, to understand why so you won't repeat the same mistakes, which would help you as an editor. I'm obviously open to a dialog with you, but you seem not to be. I called you "ignorant" (which is not an insult, simply a definition of your behavior), which to me was lacking the knowledge or awareness of what you were doing. All my edits were to your benefit, I was helping, fixing mistakes and formatting errors. Look at any of the edits I made on List of awards and nominations received by Homeland, August: Osage County, or August: Osage County (film) where I helped you out, showing how things are done on Wikipedia. Anyway, if you don't want me to respond on your talk page anymore, I won't. Oh well, I tried. Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:37, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
- For the love of god, do what you want, I don't care. Just stop posting on my talk page and leave my authored articles alone!

Disambiguation link notification for October 12
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alessandro Liberati (musician), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Soloist and America (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your GA nomination of Allessandro Liberati
editThe article Allessandro Liberati you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold 
. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 10 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Allessandro Liberati for things which need to be addressed. Tomcat (7) 20:36, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
The Dark Knight Rises/GA1
editCould I suggest that you make a decision on the above film? I'm independent to the article and I've re-read the plot section and see no issues with it. Indeed, if the editors were to follow your advice and add more details it would break MOS and invite an unwanted tag. If you are not happy in agreeing with the plot as it stands, then it may be best to stand down from reviewing the article to allow someone else the chance of reviewing from afresh. - SchroCat (talk) 08:25, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
