Disambiguation link notification for January 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joachim-Jean-Xavier d'Isoard, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Cardinal and French (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.

Thank you, dear bot, for informing me. I corrected the cardinal link, but not the French one, as I think the sentence there explains well enough what "French" is :P --MF-W 16:51, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ich produzier dir auch noch mal einen wie auch immer gearteten Hinweis. Bei mir ist nix zu sehen außer „(1)“ zwischen den beiden Links zur Benutzerseite und BD oben. Das kann man aber knicken. --Geit ost 13:11, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jetzt habe ich den Hinweis naturgemäß schon wieder weggeklickt, aber ich produziere mir mal selbst noch einen zwecks Screenshot. --MF-W's test account (talk) 14:44, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

To remove a large amount of data must to be discussion and consensus. Also, according to the Wikipedia:CYCLE (edit->revert=discussion). You can have your own opinion, please write in discussion and wait on consensus. You can not arbitrarily delete data because you have a different opinion on a topic. This is vandalism. First: discussion and consensus. Subtropical-man (talk) 21:32, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the time to find sources to support the most obvious fact that Malta and San Marino are no city-states (there are probably next to none anyway, as, as I can see on your talk page, nobody apart from you seems to follow this theory; so why would any literature mention this obvious fact). So well, keep your invented claims in the article for now; I will or will not start a discussion on the talk page later. That said, if you are so convinced of this, why don't you also add this information to Malta, which still lacks it completely, and San Marino, which only has a meager link to city State in the See also section?

Additionally, please have a look at these my edits where I have edited without effecting a consensus first, except with myself: [1] [2] [3] [4]. Please advice on whether I should turn myself in for a global block for this. --MF-W 13:48, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your clean up of the US anti-Catholic category

Hi MF-Warburg. Thanks for cleaning up Category:Anti-Catholicism in the United States. There was was more than one person whose article, as it sat, had absolutely no business being in that cat. I didn't even WP:Thank you enough.

But I think your interpretation of the 2011 CFD has been a tad overzealous. The closing admin explicitly based his keep for that long list of cats on WP:BLP, which does not apply to dead people. A closing which I accept in general, but per WP:BURO, a single closing admin does not get to invent a new policy out of whole cloth. So I've been running around and reverting you. There were a handful of living people who are either known far and wide for their anti-Catholicism (e.g. Jack Chick) or apparently chiefly known for this POV (e.g. Les Balsiger (activist), who I never heard of before) where I felt the need to revert you anyway. There were also a few dead people where your edits where perfectly fine.

I know you were dead on patient about the matter, and I apologize for not watchlisting the cat and advising you sooner. If you were only part way done with your review, I encourage you to continue with any BLP's you think need to be uncat'ed. I am happy to double check your work. -- Kendrick7^talk 22:19, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, no problem at all, I was only shocked a bit when I saw I had 27 notifications ;)

I don't know the past discussions that took place, I only saw the notice of the category page that said that absolutely no people should be in it, so I asked whether to remove them. It seems sensible to me as well that death people mainly known for being anti-catholic and people who are alive but wouldn't feel slandered by being sorted into the anti-catholicism category ;) can be included in it. But that probably needs to be discussed "somewhere else" first; I see you have now been blocked for edit-warring, which seems unfortunate.

About the review of the category content, I was mostly done, but I will have a look at it again in the near future. --MF-W 00:17, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(moved here from meta.wikimedia.org on which a bot refuses to let me answer you) Abusefilter problem?

I'm assuming you are the same MF-Warburg that was trying to help me over on meta? If not, please let me know.

Hi, it seems like you have a problem with an abusefilter. Instead of trying to reproduce the error, please just report it on [[WM:RFH]]. --<small>[[User:MF-Warburg|MF-W]]</small> 21:48, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest. The abuse-filter has a problem with me, is actually the correct way of putting the situation. I have narrowed the third problem I've had with the associated bots down to an exact error, and will stop causing warning-lights to flash on your sysadmin console now. If you have any advice, about how to resolve my seemingly insurmountable difficulties, I'm happy to take it, but I doubt that filing this at RFH will actually get the response I'm looking for. Is this an incorrect presumption? 74.192.84.101 (talk) 23:05, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. I would, if only I could, answer your question over on my talkpage at meta... but of course, 'comment bot edits from IPs' is now preventing *that* as well as causing my other problems. See deeper explanation for the problems with that one (which is rule#50 on metaWiki and is not enabled at all over here on enWiki) at my meta-talkpage. But when you came across my flailing, I was not having trouble with 'comment bot edits from IPs' screwing me over, but rather with 'antivandalism' screwing me over... because, and this is rich with irony, I was trying to say "i hate that little bot" in my message. THE EVIL BOTS HAVE BECOME SELF-AWARE, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! :-) —74.192.84.101 (talk) 23:05, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
