Typo in AWB edit summaries

Hi Phil, there's a typo in your AWB edit summaries: "tempates" should be "templates". Graham87 14:40, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Battle of Berlin article

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Nomination of Genocide definitions, Definitions of pogrom and Definitions of fascism for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Genocide definitions, Definitions of pogrom and Definitions of fascism are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genocide definitions until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Oncenawhile (talk) 09:59, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Dicdef / village pump

PBS, firstly I acknowledge that you are disappointed that I brought Genocide definitions to multiafd today. I may have gone about it the wrong way, but I hope you will give me the benefit of the doubt when I say that it is a genuine (perhaps misguided) attempt to reach consensus on the questions of dicdef and copyright as they relate to such articles.

Anyway, I'm coming here to ask whether you would mind if i bring up the same question at village pump.

I would really like to achieve closure on this point - and the only way i know to do so is to find a process to reach a real consensus.

Battle of Berlin again

Just a note to let you know I mentioned you in a discussion on my talkpage as to the Battle of Berlin matter. Kierzek (talk) 14:17, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

What is your reasoning for ignoring WP:ASF?

The text of Wikipedia articles should not assert opinions but should assert facts. When a statement is a fact (a piece of information about which there is no serious dispute) it should be asserted without prefixing it with "(Source) says that ...", and when a statement is an opinion (a matter which is subject to dispute) it should be attributed to the source that offered the opinion using inline-text attribution.[1]

Is that so hard to understand?
I did verify this on the NPOV noticeboard, so you can't claim that this is only my opinion.[2] -YMB29 (talk) 18:32, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, PBS.

Re this edit: Hitler was known to be kind to children and dogs, and sometimes even banned users do exactly the right thing. I'm not saying you weren't within your rights to revert, but the rub is that now the title is a mismatch to the text and needs to be changed back to include the cedilla.

The Earl of Essex Rebellion

Whenever an IP (or any user for that matter) adds a large chunk of unedited text (no refs/wikilinks), then I get suspicious. The good news is that the deleted edits and this version are entirely different pieces, so it wasn't taken from a mirror. I also copypasted several phrases at random into Google to see if anything came up, and for any I used, the entry was the only result. So, perhaps surprisingly, the additions appear to be legit, unless it was someone copying something from a book source, which would be beyond my ability to find. Wizardman 02:57, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Re: WP:TITLE

I disagree with your assessment of consensus. Although there is no strictly defined numerical ratio, outside of RfAs and RfBs, anything over 2/3 is frequently considered to suffice to show consensus. In this case, there was actually 70.5% support for the change, which should be more than enough. bd2412 T 23:21, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Question about underlinking

I know it certainly depends upon the size of the page, but still, if the page has 3-4 or more links, it cannot be said as 'underlinked' anymore? OccultZone (Talk) 10:06, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Diacritics RFC

I am working on a diacritics RFC here. It's a rather elaborate proposal, so I thought I'd get some comments going public with it. You can put a response on the proposal's talk page. Taekwondo Panda (talk) 23:19, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

I have posted the RFC. Taekwondo Panda (talk) 00:16, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Thread that you copied to WT:RM: is it an RfC?

Hello PBS. Regarding your copying of this thread. If you consider that the discussion is still in progress and want to get more comments, maybe you should remove the green box, which looks like a closure box? Perhaps you could add an RfC header, since it appears to be a discussion of "Should there be a minimum time between RM discussions? Specifically, a minimum time after a RM proposal failed to gain consensus before trying much the same thing again? " Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 22:00, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, you were involve a past similiar discussion Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 115#Medieval Lands by Charles Cawley, can you give an opinion on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Kekoolani?

Common name

IMO, Wikipedia would better off following an established style guide like CMOS rather than made up principles like "common name" and "recognizabililty," and "accuracy." CMOS keeps it simple: It recommends following the names and spellings given in Merriam Webster (the M-W Collegiate, Geographic and Biographical dictionaries). The full version of this style is used in Britannica. In theory, it's CMOS is the standard for the whole publishing industry, even though "dumbed down" versions often get used in practice.

Bosnian mujahideen - Shia involvement

Hello, I would like you to look into the edit war that occurs (again) in the Bosnian mujahideen page. Various people, registered or not, non-stop remove sourced and credible information on the Shia involvement on the Bosnian side in the war. Please, look into this matter and block the article plus block the registered users that constantly remove the information. Follow up with this [3]. Thank you for your time and work that you do on Wikipedia.
