Your edits to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)
[edit]Welcome. Before you make changes to MOSes, it is general practise to discuss it on the talkpage first. I have therefore reverted your edits to the MOS. Feel free to drop by the talkpage however. :-) – sgeureka t•c 06:36, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- A lot of people (including me) spend a lot of time editing articles that gets reverted, but that is the price of having an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. New editors are reverted most often because they haven't quite developed a feeling for editing, but they generally learn quickly, so don't feel saddened by this setback. You can still access your edits in the page history (also accessible via the "history" tab at the top). I already linked the talkpage above, it is Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) (also accessible via the "discussion" tab at the top). – sgeureka t•c 06:57, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Either way, please discuss MOS changes on the talkpage first. – sgeureka t•c 07:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Username concern
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: It could been as confusing by some members of the community. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?
I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.
You have several options freely available to you:
- If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
- If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
- You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.
Thank you. Rudget. 10:41, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- O this is quite a random username i randomly typed.Asrghasrhiojadrhr (talk) 05:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Let me second Rudget's concerns, since this random name creates confusion. Please change it as described above. --Tikiwont (talk) 09:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Huh, confusion, how?Asrghasrhiojadrhr (talk) 19:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I can't distinguish you from Asrghwsertyeawtrearte;) Seriously, in a worldwide project there may be many strange ones, but complete gibberish or random ones are often even blocked to enforce an alternative, where there is a better chance of remembering it. --Tikiwont (talk) 21:22, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Aw, come on there are many names that are similar.Asrghasrhiojadrhr (talk) 21:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, by now i've personally almost learned it...So enjoy editing...If anybody else rises it, give it a thought, though. Thanks, --Tikiwont (talk) 21:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Hmm I see this issue has been raised before but let me add in my request too. Please consider changing your username to a more recognisible form. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 10:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
The name is in violation of WP:IU as a confusing username. It is hard to type for people trying to communicate with you. Please change it using the above mentioned links. -- Alexf42 01:43, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Edit summaries
[edit]Are meant to be precise - see -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_summary - please use talk pages for lengthy comments - thanks SatuSuro 00:08, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AManual_of_Style_%28disambiguation_pages%29&diff=196164595&oldid=195836106 - is not acceptable - cheers SatuSuro 00:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit]You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --Sturm 08:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Please stop changing disambiguation group header styles. Your edits are becoming disruptive, and you have failed to reach consensus either on the individual dabs or on the Manual of Style page. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Great work on the table! Do you mind seeing if you can get the images to spread in a more pleasing way? Right now there's a bunch of images at the bottom with no accompanying text. Feel free to remove images; they're not essential. – Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 22:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Infinite Parameters Possible?
[edit]An arbitrary string of text? What is an arbitrary string of text?Asrghasrhiojadrhr (talk) 03:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- An arbitrary string of text is any sequence of characters, for example this sentence. But that's not really important; the point I'm trying to make is that yes, there are ways to make a wiktionary template take an unlimited amount of definitions, but a) it's not in my opinion a useful or practical feature to implement, and b) it results in a template that's harder to use. If you like I can create a draft wiktionary template to demonstrate the example I gave earlier. --Muchness (talk) 05:20, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes please and thank you.Asrghasrhiojadrhr (talk) 05:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I've created a temporary template called User:Muchness/Wiktionary-demo. To use it, type
{{User:Muchness/Wiktionary-demo|Type your definitions here}}
, which displays on the page as:
So, for example, to link to the definitions for council and counsel, you'd type:
{{User:Muchness/Wiktionary-demo|'''[[wiktionary:council|council]]''', '''[[wiktionary:counsel|counsel]]'''}}
, which displays as:
And you can keep adding an unlimited number of definitions, like so:
{{User:Muchness/Wiktionary-demo|'''[[wiktionary:one|one]]''', '''[[wiktionary:two|two]]''', '''[[wiktionary:three|three]]''', '''[[wiktionary:four|four]]''', '''[[wiktionary:five|five]]''', '''[[wiktionary:six|six]]'''}}
, which displays as:
I hope that makes things clearer? --Muchness (talk) 06:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- It was no trouble. The templates you mentioned have limited numbers of parameters and work the same way as {{wiktionarypar}} – {{main}} has a maximum of 10 and {{see also}} has a maximum of 15. {{multidel}} is an example of a template that has unlimited values; like the example I gave above you have to type it all out. --Muchness (talk) 07:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Nonconstructive edits to Command & Conquer et al.
[edit]Recently, you made a long string of edits to Command & Conquer, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, and Command & Conquer: Generals among others. It is generally frowned upon to make more than one edit in a row. Rather than making as many as nine edits in a row (as you did with Command & Conquer), it is much better to just make one. If you are wanting to "save your work" you should copy an article into a text editor and paste the revision onto Wikipedia when you are done. Moreover, I don't quite understand what your purpose was in editing these three articles (and presumably the others). When comparing your work to the last version by another user, there were very few differences, mostly just paragraphs being rearranged and headers being messed with. All in all, I feel that your edits to these pages were nonconstructive and very near the point of vandalism. While we encourage you to make edits to articles, please only make edits if you have constructive edits to make. And please only submit one edit to an article rather than multiple. Thunderforge (talk) 19:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Your edits
[edit]Looking through your history of edits, it seems that you just enjoy changing articles, and don't give any thought at all to whether your changes are an improvement. In many cases I've looked at, your edits make articles worse rather than better. Some examples:
- [1] your new heading is less informative
- [2] a pointless change that is also less correct, since the surrounding text uses male pronouns.
- [3] you don't mean "inline"; you mean "online", but there's no reason for the edit in any case. The real distinction between the sections is that one is footnotes and the other is a reference.
- [4] "Exofrance" isn't a word, and even if it was the old heading was far more useful and informative.
- [5] a pointless edit; the person in question was a man, so why replace "man" with "person"?
- [6] you replaced informative headings with useless and uninformative ones.
- [7] "police people" is not a term that's used in the English language. If you wanted to change "policemen" (which was unnecessary), you should have used "police officers".
- [8] and [9] again you replace useful headings with a less-informative ones.
In short, please try to confine your edits to ones that you are sure are both correct and also an improvement. Don't just fiddle around with articles for the fun of changing text. RedSpruce (talk) 14:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Violation of the Wikipedia code
[edit]I undid your latest moves on the
This moves are a completely onaccaptable violation of the Wikipedia code because these were my draft version:
Which were in my user space. You copied them without any reference and without any talking about this. Even in Wikipedia under GFDL there are rules.
I guess you are not aware of how Wikipedia works, otherwise you would never have done this. I really feel robbed and rapped here.
You might have the idea that Wikipedia is one happy family, where you can do whatever you like. But there is concensus there there are different spaces in Wikipedia with different authority.
- The Wikipedia article space
- The Wikipedia article talkspace
- The Wikipedia:Community space under the Wikipedia:Community Portal
- The Wikipedia:WikiProject spaces: the subpages behind the Wikipedia:WikiProjects
- and the userpages and all the sub user pages: with I call the "userspace".
In all these spaces other rules apply about authority. No what is wrong with what you did:
- You copied a GFDL text pretending it was yours without mentioning the source which is even under GFDL a copyright violation.
- You took this from a subuserpage, where the user has all the authority
- There was a very good reason why the text was there, because I was only a draft version where I was still working on
- Just copying without any reference realy feels like intelectual theaft and rape.
Now I undid those two moves and hope you understand my concerns -- Mdd (talk) 10:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- I wonder if you even care? -- Mdd (talk) 11:33, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't even know your articles existed until I came across a bluelink in systems science to your article General systems theory which included a bluelink to History of systems theory. I did not know who put the bluelink in the articlespace, was it you? From how I saw it, I did not mean to rob you in any intention. I was motivated to improve wikipedia. How I saw it was why this article wasn't even in the articlespace in the first place. You are totattly free to start, set up, & work on an article in articlespace. I don't know why you don't.Asrghasrhiojadrhr (talk) 11:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
- The draft version was in my user space. You must assume you are not totattly free here. We do work under the GFDL rules. We also have the rules in Wikipedia: even tons of rules. One of those rules is that you don't mess with someone's userpage. Since the article were in my userspace, the same rules apply there. -- Mdd (talk) 11:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Don't just change the lay out of articles
[edit]I happen to notice, that you have been altering the lay out of articles. I just referted about ten of your moves here. There are all kinds of standards in these article, which you also violated. Please don't continu in this way. Violating Wiipedia standards by the way, is a rather distructive way of learning about the. Please try to keep it contructive. Good luck. -- Mdd (talk) 12:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Would you like to join the Koei Warriors Games WikiProject? It is everything Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, Warriors Orochi, and Dynasty Warriors: Gundam! To participate, add your name to the list of participants and apply {{User WPKoeiWarriors}} to your user page.
If you are not sure what a WikiProject is, it is a club of Wikipedians interested in the WikiProject's subject and helping to improve articles of or related to that subject. I saw you greatly contributed to the Samurai Warriors article, so I figured I'd ask if you wanted to participate in Wikipedia:Wikiproject/Koei Warriors Games. You do not have to, and neither are you obligated; I am just asking. -BlueCaper (talk) 21:40, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
