October 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Yui (singer) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

|associated_acts =
'''Yui''' (born March 26, 1987}}, stylized as '''YUI''', is a Japanese singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and actress. Born

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you.

Cut the edit warring already. If you have dafense for your edit, put it on the talk page. Making fun of country's official name is just juvenile. Claimsworth (talk) 09:32, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:ARBMAC2. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 09:35, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a decision from five years ago. I didn't read the whole thing, but it does not appear to be relevant. Is there some aspect of it that you thought worthy of my attention? Claimsworth (talk) 10:10, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 09:32, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Or you could stop vandalizing the page. That would work for me too. Claimsworth (talk) 09:43, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I recognise that you are new to Wikipedia, therefore won't take umbrage over your battleground attitude at this point. Please familiarise yourself with two of Wikipedia's most fundamental policies: civility and no personal attacks. Given that the Wikipedia guideline page you have changed (WP:NCGN) states explicitly that the content should not be changed without consensus, I would also ask that you self-revert until a discussion involving other editors takes place on the talk page. The process of being 'bold' in making changes is that of bold → revert → discuss, not bold → revert → revert → start a discussion and revert to your bold change.

As regards your belief that this was written years ago, therefore is irrelevant, please note that, per WP:ARBMAC, the Balkans (specifically Macedonia) is an issue very much alive and problematic for Wikipedia. Thank you for your attention. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:56, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi[edit]

I saw your edit on Talk:Indochina. I'm sorry but it has to be asked, are you User:Kauffner? In ictu oculi (talk) 10:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

RM notification[edit]

Since you have participated in at least one Requested Move or Move Review discussion, either as participant or closer, regarding the title of the article currently at Sarah Jane Brown, you are being notified that there is another discussion about that going on now, at Talk:Sarah Jane Brown#Requested move #10. We hope we can finally achieve consensus among all participating about which title best meets policy and guidelines, and is not too objectionable. --В²C ☎ 17:03, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
