Original research

Hi

I have undone your edit to Alfie Moon. Please note that adding a date without a source is original research - something that is not allowed on Wikipedia. Please read our original research policy. Thanks.-- 5 albert square ( talk) 23:36, 19 March 2015 (UTC) reply

In which case you will probably have to remove most of the divorce dates from the profiles of soap characters since references to the receipt of decrees absolute are rare in soaps.
Roxy announced that she was filing for an annulment in late 2013. Given the time it takes for such arrangements to be finalised, and the fact Alfie married Kat in 2014, it is reasonable to conclude that Alfie and Roxy's annulment was received in 2014.
Changing the marriage dates to “2013—” implies that Alfie and Roxy are still married. Unless there is a source that proves EastEnders is planning a bigamy storyline, I fail to see why it should be left as such. If there is a need to be pedantic, “2013-?” would make more sense; what is absolutely clear is that Alfie and Roxy are no longer married.

Information icon Hello, I'm DrKay. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Wallis Simpson, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Edit-warring

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Frederica of Hanover shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.

Widowed

The masculine form of née is an obsolete rarity (see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/n%C3%A9). Please do not use it. DrKay ( talk) 16:37, 18 April 2017 (UTC) reply

Rarity is not obsolescence. It is only rare because women generally change their names upon marriage and men stick to their birth name.
No. Trust a native English speaker: it isn't used. DrKay ( talk) 19:29, 18 April 2017 (UTC) reply
My understanding is that "d." [died] is used when the marriage is ended by the article subject's death, and "wid." [widowed] is used when the marriage is ended by the article subject's spouse's death. It makes no sense otherwise, and the two can't be distinguished if you use "d." for both.-- Vabadus91 ( talk) 17:50, 18 April 2017 (UTC) reply
You are wrong. The parameter was discussed and the community's unanimous consensus was that "wid." should not be used.
"d." should not be used for the article subject's death because their death date is already given in the infobox and if repeated in the spouse parameter it can too easily be mistaken for the death date of the spouse. DrKay ( talk) 19:29, 18 April 2017 (UTC) reply
OK, so what should be indicated when a marriage ends by the article subject's death? Vabadus91 ( talk) 19:43, 18 April 2017 (UTC) reply

Information icon Please stop using the "widowed" parameter, as you did at Les Dawson, [2]. It is disruptive to continue with edits against community consensus after being asked to stopped.

Hello. Just dropping a note here to let you know I reverted one of your edits as the academic titles and honourifics such as "dr", "professor" and the like are not usually used on Wikipedia unless part of a well known stage name or nickname ( WP:CREDENTIAL).

Nomination of Bitcoin Magazine for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bitcoin Magazine is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted, or merged with Vitalik Buterin. I notified you as you have contributed to Buterin's page.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bitcoin Magazine 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. Jtbobwaysf ( talk) 08:33, 17 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Hi Vabadus91!

Hello again. Wikipedia doesn't include academic titles or post-nominal letters in the opening sentence or infoboxes or articles.

Meghan Markle

No-one calls her "Rachel Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" and as has been pointed out repeatedly, nee is now deprecated across Wikipedia. Stop making these changes. DrKay ( talk) 12:40, 19 May 2018 (UTC) reply

Née is used all over Wikipedia — far more than any alternative.
Nobody calls her "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" either; she is "THE Duchess of Sussex". She would only be styled "[First name], Duchess of Sussex" if she were divorced from Harry. But since Wikipedians include first names for royals, it makes sense that she is either "Rachel, Duchess of Sussex" (who was formerly known as Meghan Markle) or "Rachel Meghan, Duchess of Sussex".

Moving from one incorrect form to another even more incorrect form is not an improvement. DrKay ( talk) 13:13, 19 May 2018 (UTC) reply
It isn't a "more incorrect" form. Her legal name is (without commas) "Her Royal Highness Rachel Meghan Duchess of Sussex". Her forename is not Meghan, therefore she cannot from any perspective be "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex". The use of Meghan as for her preferred name ended today when she got married.

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Northampton, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. As I explained in summaries time and again, please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Pronunciation#Distinction between varieties of English. Nardog ( talk) 11:42, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Northampton. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although 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. Nardog ( talk) 12:25, 4 April 2022 (UTC) reply

If one read the rest of the paragraph one could not arrive at such a conclusion. Presenting only the non-rhotic variant is not "to list both", and the "local pronunciations" that part of the guideline is talking about of are ones that differ in non-predictable ways, see New Orleans for instance. /ɔːr/ already and automatically means "[ɔːr] in rhotic accents and [ɔː] in non-rhotic ones".

Your recent editing history at Camilla, Queen Consort shows that you are currently 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. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Request reason:

No idea what "disruptive edits" I'm alleged to have made... Vabadus91 ( talk) 23:37, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Decline reason:

Excellent. Then it will be easy for you to show where you achieved consensus for this edit on that article's talk page. I couldn't find this consensus. Yamla ( talk) 00:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC) reply

If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
