Greetings. I have restored the link to Dame in the info box for Olivia Newton-John as I don't believe that your removal of it is supported either by common practise or by WP:OVERLINKING. It seems to be the overwhelmingly common practise to link Sir and Dame etc in info boxes in biographical articles so removing such links shouldn't be done arbitrarily based either on personal preference or an interpretation of a guideline which doesn't actually specify these as the kind of terms that shouldn't normally be linked to. Please discuss if you wish, but unless you can provide something specific to support your removal of such links then I don't believe it is supported by the MOS or by what seems to be the almost universal practise.

In your revert of Assassination of Spencer Perceval, you state that "there is no risk of ambiguity".

Please stop linking The Australian Women's Weekly. That magazine was founded in 1933 [1]. It is not the same magazine, Australian Woman's Weekly that Griffiths worked as an editor for in 1913. The magazine Griffiths worked for was operated by Denton & Spencer between 1911 to 1921. I reverted your incorrect edit once and you reinserted the link. I have reverted your error again and will not engage a 3rd time on your mistake. Per Patricia Clarke (historian) "Jennie was appointed editor of the Australian Woman.s Weekly (AWW), a periodical for women begun in 1911 that ran for ten years. (The AWW should not be confused with the Australian Women's Weekly which started in 1931 and is still appearing as a monthly.)" (p 5) SusunW ( talk) 04:58, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

The disambiguation page was completely stable until you started removing Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon's name and insisting that Elizabeth II was the primary topic. Note that Mary of the United Kingdom redirects to Mary of Teck and Alexandra of the United Kingdom redirects to Alexandra of Denmark, both of whom were queens consort, so the argument that Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon could not have been known or referred to as "Elizabeth of the United Kingdom" due to her status as a queen consort is nonsense. And a WP:RM cannot be opened for a page that is not even in the main space as an article; not to mention our debate doesn't revolve around renaming the page, but what its content needs to be.

In your revert of Assassination of Spencer Perceval, you state that "there is no risk of ambiguity". I understand that, but what is wrong with having the year added to the date, which is typically what WP:DATE requests? Edits are usually reverted because they are incorrect, and that's not the case here. Truthanado ( talk) 17:11, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
Omit year only where there is no risk of ambiguity. I don't see any ambiguity in the sentence
He was hanged at Newgate Prison on 18 May, one week after the assassination and one month before the start of the War of 1812., given that the year 1812 has already been mentioned in the first sentence of the paragraph as well as in the following sentence after the day and month. ‑‑ Neveselbert ( talk · contribs · email) 22:37, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Please stop linking The Australian Women's Weekly. That magazine was founded in 1933 [1]. It is not the same magazine, Australian Woman's Weekly that Griffiths worked as an editor for in 1913. The magazine Griffiths worked for was operated by Denton & Spencer between 1911 to 1921. I reverted your incorrect edit once and you reinserted the link. I have reverted your error again and will not engage a 3rd time on your mistake. Per Patricia Clarke (historian) "Jennie was appointed editor of the Australian Woman.s Weekly (AWW), a periodical for women begun in 1911 that ran for ten years. (The AWW should not be confused with the Australian Women's Weekly which started in 1931 and is still appearing as a monthly.)" (p 5) SusunW ( talk) 04:58, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Why do you keep removing the word Manhattan entirely, under the guise of delinking common terms? Not only are you not delinking (you're just removing it), I wouldn't agree that is Manhattan as universally common as New York, LA, Jesus etc. anyways. Aza24 (talk) 20:05, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Place of birth: city, administrative region, country.Manhattan is a borough of a city, so including it would be unnecessarily precise in this context. ‑‑ Neveselbert ( talk · contribs · email) 17:24, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
The disambiguation page was completely stable until you started removing Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon's name and insisting that Elizabeth II was the primary topic. Note that Mary of the United Kingdom redirects to Mary of Teck and Alexandra of the United Kingdom redirects to Alexandra of Denmark, both of whom were queens consort, so the argument that Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon could not have been known or referred to as "Elizabeth of the United Kingdom" due to her status as a queen consort is nonsense. And a WP:RM cannot be opened for a page that is not even in the main space as an article; not to mention our debate doesn't revolve around renaming the page, but what its content needs to be.

Also, I'm not sure if you are aware that this article is currently a featured article candidate.

Hi there, I appreciate your concern and must admit that this file: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Donald_Walter_Cameron_of_Lochiel,_25th_Chief_2.jpg is absolutely copyright infringement. It is taken off the internet from an original signed portrait that was auctioned, but I cannot find the source again. For this to be on the commons requires it to credit the original author and I've no idea who that is - certainly not me! Please do nominate the file for deletion again and it should get deleted.

There is absolutely no need to create a redirect like you imply doing here. You ought to look at NBA BLPs at Category:FA-Class NBA articles or Category:GA-Class NBA articles before making such edits (hiding behind WP:OVERLINK or MOS:MORELINKWORDS, which is meant for a completely different situation, does not help your case). In addition, you seem to be edit-warring (not to mention doing that with two accounts, which WP:ILLEGIT forbids in this case) for which you have already been blocked in the past so I advise you to stop. – sbaio 17:27, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi Neveselbert. I think the plain text "basketball" should link to the basic page, basketball. Going to Basketball in the United States seems like MOS:EGG, and doesn't deal with the specific playing of the game and its use of the ball. I see that you've made numnberous changes already on this page surrounding the linking of the term basketball. If you still disagree, please start a discussion in lieu of further reverting, and establish consensus for any further changes in this area. Thanks.— Bagumba ( talk) 12:13, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello Neveselbert; the image I put in Sunak's IB was edited on the 28th to have that weird rotation, but that edit was reverted the next day. For some reason it still looks slanted on Commons, but it doesn't show up in the infobox. "Prime Minister Rishi Sunak arrives in Downing Street (cropped).jpg" is actually rotated 2°, which looks worse. Cheers, Tim O'Doherty ( talk) 18:12, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Just a friendly heads-up in case you weren't already aware, since it's installed on your common.js: Careless use of ReferenceExpander has caused serious problems. It's currently at MFD, and a large cleanup project is underway to repair the citations damaged by the script. I and several other users have !voted that the script be deleted or disabled, and I wouldn't recommend using it at all unless you thoroughly check every reference it modifies against the previous revision. If you're interested in a more detailed explanation of the script's issues, Folly Mox has provided an excellent summary at the MFD. — SamX [ talk · contribs] 05:03, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
