User talk:176.88.88.61

October 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Imaginary unit, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 09:32, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Note: Style was ok. See MOS:STYLERET: "... it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change." - DVdm (talk) 09:34, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

First, I tested it in Wikipedia:Sandbox. Second, $i$ is better than i. Third, $e$ is better than e. 176.88.88.61 (talk) 10:37, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

That is your opinion. Regarding i and e, also have a look at MOS:MATH#Roman versus italic, which says:

"Some authors prefer to use an upright (Roman) font, as in d, i, and e, and other authors use Roman boldface, as in i. Changes from one style to another should be done only to make an article consistent with itself. Formatting changes should not be made solely to make articles consistent with each other, nor to make articles conform to a particular style guide or standards body. It is inappropriate for an editor to go through articles doing mass changes from one style to another. When there is dispute over the correct style to use, follow the same principles as MOS:STYLERET."

Hope this helps saving your time changing articles and getting reverted. - DVdm (talk) 10:42, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in 3. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you.

Note: with this edit you decided to ignore the above warnings.

You currently appear to be 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. 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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at List of unsolved problems in mathematics, you may be blocked from editing. - DVdm (talk) 10:20, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

How to confirm one of my edits? 176.88.88.61 (talk) 13:42, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

There is nothing to confirm. See also User talk:176.88.89.8. - DVdm (talk) 10:16, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

In that case, see warning below.

Do not use multiple IP addresses to disrupt Wikipedia. Such attempts to avoid detection, circumvent policies or evade blocks or sanctions will not succeed. You are welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia but your recent edits have been reverted or removed. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 19:17, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
