Dispute resolution clause: By posting on my user talk page, you agree to resolve all disputes that may arise from your interactions with me through the dispute resolution processes offered within the Wikipedia Community. BD2412
Note: If you are visiting to express concerns because I have edited your user page to fix a disambiguation link, please bear in mind:
  1. I assume that you have the link there because you wish to point readers to the proper term (e.g "I speak Greek" or "I am Greek").
  2. It makes it much easier for those of us who are cleaning up disambiguation links from articles if there are fewer user pages cluttering up the "What links here" page.
Cheers! BD2412
Talk page archives

Prior to June 1, 2009, I divided my archived pages by topic, rather than by date:

Beginning on June 1, 2009 I began archiving solely by date, because it's just easier.

Blacks != African Americans

Please refrain from mindless mass edits like this -- black people in Brazil are not "African American". Jpatokal (talk) 08:35, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

  • You are correct, that was a mistake on my part. Cheers! bd2412 T 13:50, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Blind reverting

I started a discussion. Please join the discussion. Don't revert blindly. You cited a discussion from 5 years ago. Guess what. Consensus can and does change. You ought to work with me, rather than initiating an edit war. I will not join you. Instead, I will get some help. Jehochman Talk 14:04, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

I've taken this to the fringe theories noticeboard. [1] Jehochman Talk 14:23, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Please assume good faith and do not accuse a fellow editor of "blind reverting", especially when consensus was cited in support of the reversion of a previously undiscussed move. I note that once you began an actual ex post facto discussion, your proposed title was swiftly rejected. bd2412 T 20:01, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

List of regions of Scotland listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect List of regions of Scotland. Since you had some involvement with the List of regions of Scotland redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

Please be more careful when changing links with AWB

Your recent AWB work with fixing links to disambiguation pages has been replacing a link to GMC Yukon XL with a piped link showing as "GMCYukon" (without the space). In addition to that error, any time the Yukon XL is noted specifically it is meant to be distinct; saying just "GMC Yukon" implies the Tahoe-based truck, not the Suburban.

I have reverted your changes, and for the sake of simplicity and clarity now and in the future I've changed GMC Yukon XL to redirect to Chevrolet Suburban as it was originally intended, since any link to that is intended to go there, and any reader searching for it specifically will be looking for the Suburban-based vehicle.

Thank you. --Sable232 (talk) 16:05, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

  • Thanks for letting me know. The redirect will save a lot of time. Cheers! bd2412 T 16:08, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

AWB Stripped all of my Bold

I'm new to Wiki and I've written just one page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Arthur). I'm trying to do things correctly. I am confused regarding your AWB edit of my page. I do appreciated your disambiguation and improving my links. What I don't understand is why you stripped all of the bold text from the biography. I was using bold to accentuate the main points and to allow a reader to skim. I didn't feel that it was excessive. I un-did your edit and with it your disambiguation. Could you please explain to me why all of the bold text was stripped with AWB. I've seen other pages where abundant bold text is allowed. Perhaps there's a bug in your bot???

Could you kindly tell me if there are any specific rules on Wiki regarding bold text. I was unable to find specific guidelines myself. Here is a reference to your edit:
