Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ukrainian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Episcopal and Ukrainian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Independent Baptist

I just undid some of your edits on Westboro Baptist Church. The question of referring to them as "Independent Baptist" has been discussed on the talk page at various times, with the feeling that while they are both Baptist and independent, they are not part of the Independent Baptist movement. That seems to be one of the things they are independent of! --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:43, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Eastern Orthodox Church, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dr. K. 21:19, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Eastern Orthodox Church. 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. Thank you. Dr. K. 21:20, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Please don't talk me right now until tomorrow or sooner next week, Until my mood changes, then I will respond you back. Chad The Goatman (talk) 21:35, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Quebec

The results of a recount backdate to election day. Alexandre Boulay does not stay in any article as a predecessor or successor of another MP, or as a "membership change" in the composition of the legislature, the standings do not get adjusted to account for him, and he does not keep an article at all — the PQ standings backdate to 10, and the Liberal standings backdate to 31, as of October 1st. I see that you've been editwarring over this with people for days, so consider yourself warned: I'm an administrator, and you'll be getting a 24-hour time-out from being able to edit Wikipedia at all if you so much as think about clapping back at me on this. I really don't care whether it "pisses you off" or not — I care about what's accurate, and I have access to the block user function. The standings go as I said, and that's final. Bearcat (talk) 06:18, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

I mean, I will get reasoning for Alexandre Boulay page deleted I guess now, but your idea but decided to erase of my good progress on recently is now just feeling wasted for some new trivial facts about district recount result when after general election was over days ago but Its too late to re-editing seat history is now coming off unintentionally as censoring on previous already former fact.

Information icon Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:33, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Your claim that it is merely 'my opinion' that Jehovah's Witnesses is not a Bible Students denomination is simply false. However, I have retained the section you added but replaced the ambiguous See also with a more accurate Separations heading.--Jeffro77 (talk) 08:10, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Continued abuse of WP:ME

Hello. Already in 2017, you were told to stop indicating all your edits as minor. Despite that, you continue to tick 'minor edit' for all your edits, most of which do not qualify as minor. Please take this as friendly warning, in addition to the one you got in 2017. Any further abuse of ME will be reported to ANI. If you do not know what minor edits are, please read WP:ME. Jeppiz (talk) 00:46, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at User talk:Nicholemacgregor, you may be blocked from editing. NicholeMacGregor (talk) 23:20, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Fine then. And I had this problem from last year before, with meet a very likely legitimated quality control User of the site like User:HangingCurve by checking it's history and its records, had me to justified leave that Ontario Liberal Party page alone for while a least.
But you, In other hand, I may can't trust because your account (and that possible —which itself it highly broken the site rules— second sockpuppet account of yours), due of isn't very noble for quality control nor long been in the site, especially your majority interest in South Carolinian politics than any else, has questioned me if you will ever contacted the moderators of the site, And should better may thinking consider undo the second edit your previously made? And that this now on shared IP address for?
I just realized when you linked to your user talk page not The Salvation Army page, And you "reasoning" of warning me of restricting my edit privileges, comes out, sounded of being offended by dare refusing my question? Really??? Just really wanna go to that route, are you??? Chad The Goatman (talk) 18:05, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
You essentially spammed my talk page, a violation of Wiki rules. Please refer to the user page guidelines to clarify any confusion. As for The Salvation Army page, please do not add or change content without citing a proper and reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add appropriate and accurate references to the article. After you added a reference, I noticed that your information was incorrect, so I reverted it again. Having a source on incorrect information does not justify keeping the revision or spamming my talk page. I'm not sure what you're going on about with a sockpuppet account. NicholeMacGregor —Preceding undated comment added 02:10, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Okay, that's fine reason, and also eased my paranoia for moment. But for last sentence about sockpuppet, because of that User Salvationistdan who has also undoing my edit, is mostly and coincidentally shares the same topic you like, South Carolinian related topics? Because I really want to know, that possible sockpuppet was yours? And if was yours, it may worried get you in trouble on later near-future? Chad The Goatman (talk) 18:05, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

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

43rd Quebec general election moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 43rd Quebec general election, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can develope the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 10:15, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Legislative Council results

Upper house counts take weeks, sometimes months in Australia. We are still not at 10% counted, so we are very far from a definitive result. Frickeg (talk) 07:09, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

April 2019

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nick Boles; 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 discuss the matter on the talk page or with the other editor before making any further reverts to the article. ST47 (talk) 00:56, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

I'm almost sorry about this, but I think isn't entirely my fault, as their are certain politician pages using this same method of putting a ex-Political Party info from a Politician into the 'Other political affiliations' line instead for make it easier to read better, as it seemly is a now common method to showing a former affiliation/political party–e.x. Bernie Sanders inbox that but his former political parties into the Other politician affiliation section than the political party one–, due as I'm not alone on believing this the unofficial method works better than what some other user using the old method, which is now more confusing for others like me to read it. Chad The Goatman (talk) 01:10, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Well, it seems to me that both positions have some merit. I'm not here to tell you that your position is wrong and the other user's position is correct - I sent both of you the same message. However, getting into an edit war isn't the right way to make your point - please bring it up on the article's talk page and try to build consensus among the other active editors of that page. WP:EW and WP:3RR are both policy, and continuing to edit war is far more likely to get you blocked than bringing it up on the Talk page. ST47 (talk) 01:18, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
That will do, and this is my third time of having this but similar warning, and as before I will stop undoing it as means avoiding getting a worrying block from editing for how long, that will be scary for myself. Chad The Goatman (talk) 01:26, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Don't condescendingly call me "dude" or "mam" just say your point. Therequiembellishere (talk) 01:30, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Well, I'm sorry about for thought you're a man, but also I don't wanted to tick like that too. Chad The Goatman (talk) 02:48, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. Therequiembellishere (talk) 14:01, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

First initials of party leaders

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your addition of first initials to the other party leaders in the sub-templates of Template:Members of the Canadian House of Commons because it made the naming strategy inconsistent. The existing template only uses first initials where another member of the current parliament has the same surname... so Elizabeth May is "E. May" not because she is a party leader, but to distinguish her from Liberal MP Bryan May. Since there are no other MPs with the surname Trudeau, Scheer, Singh, or Bernier there is no need to include their first initials. RA0808 talkcontribs 13:21, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Next Newfoundland and Labrador general election article

Hi,

What's going on here? You've placed a redirect link to 51st Newfoundland and Labrador general election which doesn't exist and I was going to place a deletion G8 template on the previous article but I won't if its going to be reverted. Been going through the Special:BrokenRedirects page and found the actual article as a broken link. Could you clarify as to what is happening with this article? Regards, ImpWarfare (talk) 16:45, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Well, because of their recent general election was over since days ago (May 16th)? So I feel to had [red] linked it for now a nonexistent the new general election page, if a person wanted to created a new page or not, after their election, as again was over. If not, you gonna be better not to link anything, until someone created it? Chad The Goatman (talk) 22:24, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
So shall I just leave it then? I did place a G8 deletion template on it but noticed your response so I undid my deletion request. What about restoring the page to an earlier revision for now and then get the decision made on the talk page whether or not to redirect it etc.? ImpWarfare (talk) 09:59, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
I guess so, as I said if someone who isn't me did created a new general election page for all the province's general elections besides Newfoundland and Labrador. Chad The Goatman (talk) 13:04, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Yea, that's my fault out of rage... but however that user PMJoshuaJames is seemly very new of creating a Election infobox with bad results, especially its first edit, including the moronic reason of removing categories, when there's need more information for the 31st Albertan general election; you added weeks ago. Chad The Goatman (talk) 19:01, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
Sure, his edit removed stuff that ought not to have been removed. But that can be addressed by fixing and politely pointing out his error, rather than resorting to invective. In any case, I consider the matter closed. Steve Smith (talk) 21:15, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Combination of logged-in and logged-out editing

I see that over a long time you have edited sometimes using this account, and sometimes without logging in to it. There is no absolute rule against editing without logging in, but it is generally inadvisable, and in some situations it is definitely not acceptable. At the very least, doing so might lead other editors to be suspicious of your motives, as some people edit with and without logging in with the intention of being deceptive. You should also not normally use both kinds of editing for closely related editing, such as editing the same page, and absolutely not for repeating the same change to the same article after someone else has reverted your editing. It is essential that other editors are able to see when related edits are made by the same person, for several reasons, including making sure that edit-warring is not being disguised. JBW (talk) Formerly known as JamesBWatson 11:31, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

I will admitted, that was not my intent to leading this, if I was not on my electrical devices (Iphone or Windows 8.1; but mostly the latter) at predominantly all the time, while some user (either anonymous or not) has edit something that seems not fitting with the page's description like Ambazonia's page has a weirdly described them in the first sentence as a 'Seccessionist' entity, while it could also work [interchangeably] to described them as a officially and completely unrecognized nation as every nation refused to recognizing their existence that such.
