Would you mind, if it's not too much trouble, signing up for an account? Your edits at that page are massive and they'd raise fewer red flags if they came from a logged-in user. City Of Silver 05:05, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at 2017 Atlantic hurricane season. 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. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:15, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
This is apparently an alias for a recently-added parameter that I was not aware of the existence of, which was my mistake. It was added about one month ago. If you think an editor has made a mistake or has in fact made a very obvious mistake, be sure to mention it (which you did do here)! Master of Time (talk) 05:45, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
Just to clarify, the parameter did exist before then, but not for potential tropical cyclones. Master of Time (talk) 05:56, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
There is still no reason to use the templates for the dates - it just makes things much more complicated, not to mention when editing the article. I appreciate your efforts to help out, but this really isn't the way to resolve an edit dispute/conflict. The only effective way is to discuss and come to an agreement, usually through the use of talk pages. This issue is already being discussed at the talk page for 2017 Atlantic hurricane season. Changing the article format like that really isn't going to help, and mind you, if an editor gets really heated up, even changing the format like that won't stop them from reverting the page to the revision that they were fighting for. In any event, assuming that the format stays, it's going to be removed once this season ends on November 30, so it's pretty much pointless. LightandDark2000 ( talk) 02:27, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
Okay, there may not have been a discussion when you first made the edits, but there is one now (which you've probably figured out). Also, the dating tags is only going to be temporary if it is kept; I don't recall anyone using anything of this type on past hurricane season articles before.
