You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war. 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.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Rusted AutoParts 01:04, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi. I notice that you've done some work adding some 9/11 victims to the Category:People made notable by their deaths category. I myself don't do a lot of category work on Wikipedia, but I do quite a bit of it on Wikimedia Commons, and I thought you might be interested to know that there are roughly 47 or so 9/11 victims with their own Wikipedia articles, in case you want to add all of them to that category. Of the list of 9/11 victims seen on this Commons category page, most of them have their own Wikipedia articles, so you can use that list to search for them on Wikipedia. Thanks. Nightscream ( talk) 18:47, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

You have been mentioned at the ongoing sockpuppet investigation - Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Groupsuk for your recent edits to Bradley Coopers article page. LADY LOTUS • TALK 15:32, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
I understand that the plagiarism edit is a controversial issue. That's why I made a section on the Talk page to discuss it and made no edits until I received no response. Instead of getting into a revert war, I would appreciate discussing the issue on the talk page. My edit that you undid was a direct quotation from the cited sources. The text that you reverted the page to does not appear anywhere in the sources that are cited. If I'm missing something, please point me to exactly where a cited source says that MLK was allowed to keep his diploma because he made "an intelligent contribution to scholarship", but right now, I don't see that in any of the sources. Idag ( talk) 04:58, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi there F&H, long time no see. Hope all's well. I'm very happy that the gg p. has had only minor, often trivial, changes in months. Bravo to us.

Dear F&H - I placed the required request (I think) for GAN at Bank War and Texas Annexation, two of the articles for which I've performed "makeovers". Can you tell if the requests have been properly registered? I don't expect to have them reviewed any time soon, but should I expect to receive an electronic notice from the reviewing staff that I've made the request? Share your wisdom, would you please? 36hourblock ( talk) 21:44, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Peter Thiel shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- IIIraute ( talk) 02:00, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for picking up the vandalism to Sons of Confederate veterans. I had reverted a vandalism; there were additional vandalisms; then I reverted it again. I was fooled, however, by the fact that two IP addresses were involved. So I reverted one vandalism to another. I compared the two and they were apart by only a capital versus small letter. Anyway, I am usually more careful about multiple vandalisms. In this case, I owe you thanks for catching it. I am watching that article right now because it appears the vandal is becoming persistent.

Hi there my friend, sorry I didn't get back sooner. I've been directing a play, all-consuming, and haven't even visited the GG p. or even been logged in. So didn't get your message. As for your question, the answer is directing a play! No work at all on WK. Though huge new biography of Barbara Stanwyck may bring me back to what is now a very blah p. I'm pleasantly surprised that no one's edited anything on the GG p. But unsurprised because it's a good, thorough article. What more is there to say? But I expected something irrelevant to show up. Will check MdA now. What's occupying you?-- Classicfilmbuff ( talk) 21:19, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, seeing as another user, albeit an anonymous one, has brought up the issue of the 'Lordship' section on the Scott Disick page, I thought maybe the edits I made, whilst clearly not fulfilling numerous WP guidelines, may be needed to some degree?

Dear F & H -
A edit dispute regarding GAR has led to some vandalism at the Bank War article. Would it be too much trouble to intervene to correct the abuses and get the article back up? My thanks in advance. 36hourblock ( talk) 19:24, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Dear F & G - This Cuerden character is the source of the vandalism. Check his posts, would you? 36hourblock ( talk) 23:49, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
It would appear you were involved in the article on Scott Disick. At present, there are a number of glaring inaccuracies in the article.
I can assure you that there are some wholly unsound sections that need fixing in order to force if only a little credibility into the article. Could you please visit the talk page there?

BTW. It's really cool that the GG p. has been so stable for so long. Just minor stuff, which should be very gratifying to us both. This summer I was thinking about submitting it as a "good article."

Well hello there my pal! How the hell are you? I've been busy directing plays and teaching. I regularly check the GG p. and am extremely pleased that nothing significant has been added or edited for the last 2 years. We did one hell of a job.

Or whatever.-- Classicfilmbuff ( talk) 00:10, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the
API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.
What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.
This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.
If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!
Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.
Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.
Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Just saw your name when I checked my watchlist but want to make sure it's you before writing much here.

Hi there my friend, sorry I didn't get back sooner. I've been directing a play, all-consuming, and haven't even visited the GG p. or even been logged in. So didn't get your message. As for your question, the answer is directing a play! No work at all on WK. Though huge new biography of Barbara Stanwyck may bring me back to what is now a very blah p. I'm pleasantly surprised that no one's edited anything on the GG p. But unsurprised because it's a good, thorough article. What more is there to say? But I expected something irrelevant to show up. Will check MdA now. What's occupying you?-- Classicfilmbuff ( talk) 21:19, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi! Would you care to review or comment at my FA nomination for the article Misterioso (Thelonious Monk album)? It is a short article about a jazz album. If not, feel free to ignore this message. Cheers! Dan56 ( talk) 06:21, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

The link Jadran Mimica leads nowhere, so it's not rational to continue trying to revert a correction (that works and gives useful information) to a dead link (which leads nowhere). MaynardClark ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 05:56, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Just wanted to say thanks for reverting my edit on Chris Christie, I had a misunderstanding about the use of plural in "attorneys general." Darren1988c ( talk) 05:49, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Why did you change the link I added to the Supreme Court decision? The previous link did not go to the decision, and the new one you replaced mine with goes to a website that antivirus programs block as a potentially dangerous website (and the case citation you wrote is incomplete). Also, why didn't you give an explanation for your change? - Embram ( talk) 22:14, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
Good day!
It is okay for me if that's how you want it, no problem with me. But may I know what is the rule that is used in capitalizing/shortcase of the word? Thanks!

Hi, Fat&Happy, the edit does not contain 'original research'. It is referenced info, given on the Lord of the manor. Scott Disik is neither royalty nor nobility as the page claimed previously. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sotakeit ( talk • contribs) 08:45, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Can you please explain what's going on so we can resolve the problem appropriately? -- Ronz ( talk) 16:47, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Know Nothing. 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.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. -- Ronz ( talk) 15:32, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, seeing as another user, albeit an anonymous one, has brought up the issue of the 'Lordship' section on the Scott Disick page, I thought maybe the edits I made, whilst clearly not fulfilling numerous WP guidelines, may be needed to some degree? I've posted a reply to the anonymous poster on the talk page of the article if you'd like to give your opinion? Sotakeit ( talk) 15:19, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Dear F & H -
A edit dispute regarding GAR has led to some vandalism at the Bank War article. Would it be too much trouble to intervene to correct the abuses and get the article back up? My thanks in advance. 36hourblock ( talk) 19:24, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Dear F & G - This Cuerden character is the source of the vandalism. Check his posts, would you? 36hourblock ( talk) 23:49, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
It would appear you were involved in the article on Scott Disick. At present, there are a number of glaring inaccuracies in the article.
I can assure you that there are some wholly unsound sections that need fixing in order to force if only a little credibility into the article. Could you please visit the talk page there?

Thank you,

I'm copying this from my talk p. in case you don't watch it. Do you?
What class reunion? How old are you? I'm 60. Bet you didn't guess that! Directing wonderful. So glad you remembered. Or did I write it in my last message to you. Show was a huge hit. I'm a natural theatre artist but slog along with scholarship. So glad you wrote back. I really miss you!@-- Classicfilmbuff ( talk) 22:15, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
BTW. It's really cool that the GG p. has been so stable for so long. Just minor stuff, which should be very gratifying to us both. This summer I was thinking about submitting it as a "good article." What is that? What are your thoughts (you can do my talk p.)?-- Classicfilmbuff ( talk) 22:44, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Well hello there my pal! How the hell are you? I've been busy directing plays and teaching. I regularly check the GG p. and am extremely pleased that nothing significant has been added or edited for the last 2 years. We did one hell of a job. Hate the photo of her at the top of the p. but too lazy to change it and can't remember how to do it anyway. what Wiki articles are you working on? Or whatever.-- Classicfilmbuff ( talk) 00:10, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
OK, so if you're not groovin' with WP much, what are you doing that is fun and interesting? Like for me, directing. What about you? Have a happy t-giving.-- Classicfilmbuff ( talk) 19:59, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
Saw you had lots of contributions, but haven't edited since for several months. I have therefore added you to the linked page above. Remember to remove your name from the list if you ever return. Snuggums ( talk / edits) 02:13, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the
API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.
What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.
This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.
If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!
Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.
Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.
Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Hey there my friend, this is your old pal classicfilmbuff who just saw that perhaps you are active on Wikipedia once again? Just saw your name when I checked my watchlist but want to make sure it's you before writing much here. I'm basically inactive for the time-being but so pleased the Garbo article has essentially retained its structure and content for the last almost 10 years since we put in all the work. Let me know if you're still out and about. My best, CFB Classicfilmbuff ( talk) 16:26, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
