Disambiguation link notification for April 7
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robin Wright, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Willis. 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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Jeremy Lalonde requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- One of the edits in question ([1]) did not appear unconstructive to me. The second ([2]) I assumed was just a mistake. Maybe you saw things differently. --Fru1tbat (talk) 11:25, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Emilia Clarke shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 article's 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 your 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.

- I made productive, cited edits to the page why did they all get removed?
- My warning was regarding the image in the infobox, not your other edits. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 06:47, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Minor edits
editCan you please stop marking edits as minor when they aren't, and stop leaving misleading edit summaries? Saying "fixed formatting for header" when you actually added and changed content is not helpful to other editors watching these pages. --Laser brain (talk) 03:17, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

What you're making there is an Other stuff exists argument. Yes, this is done wrong at a lot of other articles, and in a lot of tables. None of that overrules WP:ACCESSIBILITY which is a site policy. 'Rowspan' in the middle of tables like that causes major problems for our sight-impared readership which have to use text-to-speech readers to read Wikipedia. We generally don't disadvantage one set of readers over the other, especially simply because of a "WP:ILIKEIT"-type argument from some of our sighted readership. WP:DTT covers this in some detail (though unfortunately, not enough...).) --IJBall (contribs) 23:49, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
- I can understand where you're coming from, IJBall, but after reading that page, I did not see enough substantial proof that this is widely enforced, and almost every Award & Nominations page that I come across is formatted so that the title of the nominated project need not be repeated several times. If a page for a public figure like Jennifer Lawrence has never confronted this issue, I find it odd that you continuously undo the edits to this page, when it is clearly not done for most prominent pages. Xx041424 (talk) 01:10, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- The key line in WP:DTT is this:
"...especially to somewhat offset the accessibility problems associated with nested tables and with rowspan and colspan,[4] if these are used despite the accessibility problems they pose"
(emphasis mine). Again, just because many tables on Wikipedia are ignoring WP:ACCESSIBILITY (often out of ignorance of the issue as much as due to anything else) doesn't excuse ignoring it once editors are made aware of it. In the specific case of Chloe Rose, the 'rowspan' isn't even a significant difference, as we're talking about just 4 rows there, not 7 or 8 or 10 rows. But, again, WP:ACCESSIBILITY is a site policy which means it trumps pretty much any other argument. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:16, 24 January 2017 (UTC) - In looking at List of awards and nominations received by Jennifer Lawrence, it actually looks like most of those tables are ACCESSIBILITY-compliant, even the last one, though it looks like the last 10 or so rows of the final table are now out of ACCESSIBILITY-compliance. I may try to tackle that, or at least mention it at the Talk page there... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:20, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- You have made some good points, IJBall, but as you also mentioned, on the Chloe Rose page, it is only 4 rows, and hardly poses a threat to accessibility. Also, to note, the only reason the first few tables on the Jennifer Lawrence page seem to comply is because it is by award show, and therefore, for the first few (Academy Awards, etc), there is no need for rowspan because she is only nominated for one award per film (Best Actress). As you can see, as the page goes on, when she is nominated for more than one award per film, per award show (starting with Screen Actors Guild Awards), row span is used for the titles to avoid repetition.
