July 2019

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sander Jan Klerk; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. Randykitty (talk) 08:27, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Strictly not, but I heed to your appeal to step a bit away from this disruptive editor. The Banner talk 08:35, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

CSD requests

Hello! I saw your CSD requests of some archives of your talk page, such as User talk:The Banner/Archives/2012/January. However, I'm not sure if they can be deleted in this way. See WP:CSD#U1: User talk pages are not eligible for speedy deletion under this criterion. ST47 (talk) 12:32, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

An earlier series old archives were removed recently. The archives are replaced by Archive 2012. So, you surprise me. The Banner talk 12:38, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

See for example this: User talk:The Banner/Archives/2011/June. And please not that it are archives, not the actual talk page. The Banner talk 12:44, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I must have been looking at the wrong thing. I thought the archives to be deleted had been created by moving your talk page, but I must have been looking at the wrong page history. Will do. ST47 (talk) 12:47, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. The Banner talk 12:50, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

Editing article

Hi the banner

My names Cathal and I'm a local historian in clonlea. I discovered a penal massrock and altar stone there and am in the middle of doing a book on penal times there.

I'd love If i could add in information on your article in clonlea which I have. I'd that okay ?

Yours Cathal Clonloum123 (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

As a historian, you should be able to handle sources and proper refer to them. The Banner talk 23:26, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Very constructive. HM Wilburt (talk) 12:39, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Picture edits on Church of Ireland page

I've put a lot of work into updating, expanding and adding citations on this article. I think pictures make articles more readable and attractive so I've added my own to make the article more relevant. That means more but smaller.

I've had a number of Thank Yous for this, none of whom suggested I was out of line for changing the pictures. Plus, some of the pictures you've reset on the grounds of User discretion are ones I added. So the size was selected by me.

You've made a total of 7 edits on this article, all of which are simply reversals. I say this politely but I think you need to pull back on this. And I know from experience the first response will be emotional - so give yourself a couple of days.

Robinvp11 (talk) 16:37, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I have reverted your change again. Please be aware that not everybody has a big screen. The thumbsize set by users or the standard thumbsize show a picture in the best size for the screen in use. Your picture sizes overrule the standard or personal settings and make is possible that pictures take over a complete screen, making the article unreadable. People are always able to doubleclick on a picture to get a bigger image. And it does not mater how many edits I have done on this article, wgat I have done on this article or how emotional you get, Wikipedia is simple better off with standard sizes. Thank you.

Template:Sega Sammy franchises

There is zero reason to be hostile, per this edit here. Namcokid47 (talk) 21:40, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

There is zero need to do a dodgy job. The correct link was there before your edit. The Banner talk 21:54, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

I deleted the section and re-wrote it, so I missed the pipe link by mistake and forgot to fix it. It is not a "mess" like you implied in your summary. Namcokid47 (talk) 21:55, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

You stated earlier: "sick of this overbloated template" and I responded on that. With the true complaint that I am often cleaning up templates with links to disambiguation pages that were left by people not checking what they were doing. The Banner talk 21:59, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

You're a month late with that response. I've never encountered you before (not that I know of, anyway), so this came as surprising to me to find soembody lambasting my edit because I forgot to add a pipe link. Namcokid47 (talk) 22:14, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

I have seen hundreds of these "mistakes" pass by at Templates with disambiguation links. Sometimes I snap... The Banner talk 22:20, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

I simply forgot to add the pipe link to Daytona USA, there's no need to get worked up about it. It's been fixed, I'll move on. Namcokid47 (talk) 14:09, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Mind your links in the future! The Banner talk 15:25, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Don't get salty over pipe links in the future! Namcokid47 (talk) 16:34, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Add .mw-disambig { background-color:#AFEEEE; } to your personal CSS and links to disambiguation pages will show a light blue background. And then you can fix them. The Banner talk 16:41, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, I will use this in the future. I appreciate it. Namcokid47 (talk) 16:48, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

House of Alpin

Hello, and sorry for whatever trouble I may have caused on the House of Alpin page. I should've searched for sources and then added them before reverting the edit for the first time, rather than reverting it and then reverting it again and so on. It wasn't very responsible of me. In the brief summary of my changes in the recent edit, in which I provided my sources, I sarcastically pointed out that none of the other royal titles needed citation. That was rude and unprofessional of me, and as you said, nowhere is the title mentioned in the article itself, so I should've realized that such an addition was therefore different. People rely on Wikipedia for free education, and we need to provide that to them, so I have a responsibility to act differently. I hope you understand that I had good intentions initially. When I believe strongly that I am correct, I tend to act stubborn instead of talking about the problem in order to solve it.

So many people out there rely on Wikipedia for free education, and so we are required to give them the best we can. Thank you for bringing to my attention that the title was not present in the article itself, and so it needed to be cited as a source. The article is better than it used to be because of it, and we can better give the reader the information that they have come to Wikipedia for in the first place.

--User:HistoricallyAccurate —Preceding undated comment added 20:13, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

The same type of mistake you made in Dalcassians. Hope things will be better now. Thanks. The Banner talk 20:30, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Editwarring (again)

Your recent editing history at ShortCutz Amsterdam 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; read about 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
