Lowercase sigmabot III

Strange though it may seem, I'm making this question: how can I put lowercase sigmabot III to work on my talk page? Precisely for the purpose of automatically archiving inactive threads.

Thank you!Sam10rc (talk) 09:34, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

AFC Bournemouth

Hi ChocolateRabbit!

It appears we disagree how AFC Bournemouth should be listed. There was a discussion on this on this when they were promoted to The Premier League and I thought a consensus was agreed to show their full name, as is the case with AFC Wimbledon and other clubs with an AFC prefix. Thoughts? Cardboard Captain (talk) 18:41, 5 December 2017 (UTC) Cardboard Captain (talk) 18:41, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

@Cardboard Captain: Revert my changes, if the FA and most people refer to them as AFC then please change the article(s) to reflect as such. Thanks. --Have a Merry Christmas ---- ChocolateRabbit 21:54, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Deletion rationale

I urge you to write a more thoughtful rationale here. If I did not provide such a rationale in a timely manner, the AFD could have been speedily closed.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 06:35, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

2017 New York City attempted bombing~ your argument is nonconstructive and unclear

This is quite a deal, what you are attempting to do to the 2017 New York City attempted bombing page. Please do not try to request the deletion of a page without sufficient rationale, much less start a disturbance to the Wikipedia community. This attack on Manhattan is a crucial event—why would they notify the President, call the mayor and the governor of New York if it was not a matter of great magnitude? Please let me know if you need further clarification. DoctorSpeed (talk) 18:40, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

I recommend that you withdraw the AfD nomination. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 01:27, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Faye Windass

Just to let you know, across all soap pages, we use the world also when a character has had different surnames through things like marriage and adoption instead of ne, nee and previously because of various reasons including:
.The fact we can easily now watch past episodes and clips where a character was known by a different surname
.The show is broadcast internationally and can be months or years behind
.The characters are fictional and it's not real

Wording

I believe it has already been explained to you that "English national team" is preferred to "England national team", as the former is grammatically correct. Why do you persist in reverting to the latter? Mattythewhite (talk) 19:25, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Second attempt...

Hi, I see you archived my message, without replying, before restoring wording to articles that you've already been made aware is incorrect. It's becoming increasingly hard to assume good faith. Mattythewhite (talk) 22:15, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

@Mattythewhite: Replied at your talk page. Cheers. Have a Merry Christmas ---- ChocolateRabbit 23:00, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

December 2017 Melbourne car attack ‎AfD

Hello, I closed this AfD as you did not provide any rationale to justify re-opening the discussion, especially so soon after the other AfD was closed. Please stop re-adding the template for this discussion to the article. If you continue with this disruptive behaviour, you'll be blocked from editing. Merry Christmas by the way!

Changing national variety of English

Information icon In a recent edit to the page Light-emitting diode, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. —Odysseus1479 23:49, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Shutout.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.

A couple of days ago, an editor advised you not to make inappropriate changes of national variety of English. Your reply, here, appeared to indicate your understanding of that advice. Please also consider following that advice, and stop making disruptive changes to spelling. Struway2 (talk) 20:11, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

@Struway2: Cheers for the advice friend. -- 🐇 ChocolateRabbit 20:14, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Josepolivares

This user has just been lifted from the one month block and it turns out that user has been un-piping fc again. Does this user understand the difference between piping and not piping team names... I've noticed you reverted once on Luis Suarez, Iggy (talk) 15:48, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

@Iggy the Swan: Hi, I'm not sure if they knew what the piping was, but they also never asked or discussed why they reverted the piping of the FC. Thanks -- 🐇 ChocolateRabbit 16:06, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
Just noticed the user is currently blocked for three months for not communicating with others. Iggy (talk) 16:08, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
@Iggy the Swan:. Yeah, when User:Swarm blocked him / her on 23rd November they said that they think that Josepolivares seems to not want to discuss even the most minor of disputes. -- 🐇 ChocolateRabbit 03:14, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Question about commas for Paul Malong Awan and James Ajonga Mawut

Greetings, Chocolate Rabbit!

I see you've restored the out-of-place commas I removed in articles for Paul Malong Awan and James Ajonga Mawut. Could you explain your reasoning to me? In the Awan article, the comma is redundant because it comes after a phrase already offset by parentheses. In the Mawut article, it comes right after a proper name and right before the first verb of the sentence, which seems to be an awkward and ungrammatical place for a comma.

Best wishes, Hills of (talk) 16:05, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

@Hills of: There is a short pause in the sentence, and that's what the comma is for. Happy editing. -- 🐇 ChocolateRabbit 16:08, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Josepolivares

Hello ChocolateRabbit,

Do you think the IP address 177.221.167.124 might have been used by Josepolivares (during the 1 month block period) - the reason being is that some of the edits consists of undoing two of our revisions, unpiping the FC on FC Barcelona and other Spanish clubs which have gone unnoticed until today when I have just fixed them, on Gerard Deulofeu, Ousmane Dembélé and your page Samuel Umtiti. Also I have noticed on User talk:Quite A Character that the messages posted are in some other language other than English ... Iggy (Swan) 16:28, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

@Iggy the Swan: Hi at the sockpuppet investiagtion page I thought Josepolivares was using the IP 168.232.43.149. Thanks -- 🐇 ChocolateRabbit 22:46, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Both of them come from the same place in Brazil (using Geolocate). Sometimes the IP addresses changes in greater differences than others. Iggy (Swan) 09:06, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
@Iggy the Swan: I suppose it is possible they are connected -- 🐇 ChocolateRabbit 09:09, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Kostas Stafylidis. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block.

Edit warring with IPs is still edit warring. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:05, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Followup

You archived before I could post a followup message: I see you've been blocked for edit warring in the past and that you have had rollback removed for these reasons. If I had seen that at first, I would have used the stronger language template. It is not okay to edit war, even if you don't hit 3RR. 3RR is a bright line, not a right. Additionally, going to RFPP to have a page protected during a minor content dispute and then shopping for a new admin to block the person you disagree with at AIV does not really paint the picture of being collaborative with other users. Future conduct like this will result in you being blocked. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:15, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
