Hey, Tyler. I read your edit summary on Jake Paul, and I wanted to clear the air on a couple of things: First, per WP:TPO, you are correct to say that you cannot edit other people's comments without their permission, but "fixing format errors" is allowed per the guidelines; and second, I added that "reftalk" template to prevent WP:REFCLUTTER at the bottom of the page. Thank you. L33tm4n ( talk) 19:08, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
I don't think you can remove the explanation of hybridity and post-colonialism on the Anglo-Scandinavian page, it's an absolutely critical theoretical point underlying the entire article (which I intend to expand in the near future when I have a spare moment). What was your justification for removing it? Faust.TSFL ( talk) 13:32, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed your revert here and wanted to point out that as it's now 1 July in the UK it should be fine for the article to be updated. Mattythewhite ( talk) 23:35, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
You're the one edit warring, and as I say, there're already specific links of places within the country. And your points of Sweden being an unknown country and that we must keep things as currently are just because are laughable. The only reason I'll no revert again right away is that MoS isn't policy, just a guideline. But it's clear you're not neutral when discussing Sweden.... Urbanoc ( talk) 00:46, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Tyler, please explain what was non-constructive here [1]? Thanks. Fish+ Karate 10:48, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
Your entirely appropriate enforcement of WP:BLP standards on 29 May 2022 against IP user 195.92.38.22 has been undone by the same unregistered user, without articulated reason or justification, much less any response to your well-stated reasons. What can be done to prevent an endless cycle of "edit warring" here? I see no good faith justification for their elimination of properly sourced relevant aspects of what makes Nick Yarris notable, in favor of unsourced personal details of no legitimate importance, whether or not accurate. (I have no proof, given the editor's anonymity, but it smells like a WP:COI violation also.) PDGPA ( talk) 16:26, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
Just to let you know: you recently proposed a draft for deletion, but the proposed deletion process is inappropriate for drafts. If you want to delete one of your own drafts, and nobody else has been working on them, you can just put {{ db-author}} onto the page and it will be deleted immediately (rather than needing to wait seven days, like you would with a proposed deletion). For drafts by other people, it's rare to nominate them for deletion (even if they have no chance as an article) because they'll be deleted anyway after six months (although drafts that are very problematic, such as copyright violations and attack pages, can be deleted right away using the speedy deletion process).
Because you were trying to delete your own draft, I converted your proposed-deletion tag into a deletion-by-author-request tag, so it should be deleted by an administrator soon (without needing a seven-day delay). -- ais523 05:01, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello Tyler. Sorry to bother you but i just wanted to know why you reverted my edits since many of the figures are usually referred by shortened names such as Turenne, Richelieu, Grand Condé and Mazarin. I believe that shortening the names makes it more navigable for readers. For example Louis XIV of France can be simply referred to as Louis XIV among others.
Thanks

Hejsan, min första reaktion var också att Sverige borde stå som första land i infoboxen, både för att det är här svenska språket uppstod (eller snarare utvecklades från fornnordiska) och för att de flesta som talar svenska bor i Sverige. Kollade ändå några andra infoboxar och såg att de alltid sätter länderna i bokstavsordning, t.ex. kommer Frankrike efter Belgien, Benin, Canada osv., liksom Tyskland kommer efter Österrike, Spanien kommer efter de flesta länder i Latinamerika. Om det inte finns någon orsak att särbehandla svenskan (och jag kommer inte på någon) så är det sannolikt bäst att använda samma format som för andra infoboxar för språk.

Hello TylerBurden. I have been editing Wikipedia for 17 years, so I am quite familiar with WP:ENGVAR and MOS:RETAIN. From my reading of F1-related articles, most of them appear to have been written using UK rather than US English (likely due to the relative lack of popularity of F1 in the US as opposed to other countries), so the use of US spellings in the Keke Rosberg article struck me as unusual and out-of-place.
I also notice that you have been using a software tool to place warning messages on the user talk pages of many editors, many of which appear to be over-zealous (especially when targeted at experienced editors, or flagging minor rephrasings of article text as "non-constructive", which is not synonymous with "unnecessary"). I will use the benefit of my experience to suggest that you show some restraint when using such tools, as it can get irritating. Regards, -- RFBailey ( talk) 14:09, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

My edit to Erling Haaland's wikipedia page has been removed due to seeming 'less neutral'. My edit was to include the fact the hattrick Haaland scored was a perfect hattrick. I included that he scored a perfect Hattrick, because he scored a perfect hattrick, which is a very difficult and rare thing to accomplish. I request you allow me to add the fact that haaland scored a perfect hattrick against Nottingham Forrest. Moleoz ( talk) 05:35 PM, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello Tyler, can you please warn user Shadow4ya to stop persistently removing my recent edits from the Sokollu Mehmed Pasha article. It is about his origin in which I wrote: "There is great dispute among historians about his origins. According to some historians, he was of Bosniak origin, while others claim that he was of Serbian origin" (sources were listed)
Since there are different opinions among historians about its origin, I have presented both theories, of course quoting from several sources. He thinks "consensus must be reached before any new change can be applied", but again the article talks about one side of the story while ignoring the other. There will never be any consensus on its origin because everyone has their own opinion that should be respected. For example, in the article about Rustem Pasha Opuković, all three theories about his origin are presented, since only one cannot be taken. Please revert my recent edits. Thank you in advance. I hope neglecting someones origin and an ethnic group isn't the purpose of wikipedia. Mrjazz123 ( talk) 18:24, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
Thank You for your help Tyler. I am glad someone takes this matter seriously. I also asked Jingiby for help but he dismissed my suggestions saying: "I don't think there is any serious dispute about it. Bosnian national identity crystallized in the second half of the 20th century", which is completely false. Even tho i explained to him, he ignores me. Mrjazz123 ( talk) 12:20, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
Hey Tyler! I noticed that you warned the IP 2600:1017:B80D:DF3:CC4C:D5B4:270:85C6 for using Talk:Norway as a forum.. however I had already warned them for that 9 hours ago and they hadn't made another edit since.

Just a note, edits like Special:Diff/1109127887 that don't affect the rendered page in any way are considered cosmetic edits and are generally discouraged. There isn't a point to reverting that edit either, of course; just wanted to let you know for the future. Elli ( talk | contribs) 06:15, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

I do not understand why you did this. Please respond on the article's talk page. If you mean that anyone is a Swedish American with only third, fourth or more generation Swedish ancestry, or anyone with a Swedish surname is, or anyone who grew up in an American community dominated by Swedish immigrants is, or only people who descend from pre-1916 immigrants are (all of them ?!), we're going to have problems with that POV of yours. If you can gain consensus on that talk page that an American with no more that one Swedish grandparent is a Swedish American, I'll give up. Seems flabbergasting to me. -- SergeWoodzing ( talk) 22:49, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

.Hi, Tyler. I'm new to Wikipedia editing, so excuse me if I am asking an obvious question. I notice you have been editing the "Theology" heading for the Church of Norway. It's currently set as "Confessional Lutheranism". I don't know if you set that, or it was someone else. I read the "Confessional Lutheranism" article, and I'm pretty sure that's the wrong category, and that it should be "Lutheranism". Before I simply alter it, I wonder if you have a comment?

Hello! You keep deleting important Norwegian history, that of the Galtung family. The Galtung family has claimed to be descendants of the older Galte family for generations, just as the larger old clan Mel has debunked that claim since the name was given to the people at Torsnes in 1648. Since, the clan Mel has worked with historians to fix the history that was falsified to once again be correct. Please stop destroying the real history in favour of errors that has been long debunked. It is disrespectful to clan Mel (Melsætten), and not the least wrong.

Hi. You previously deleted 3 Löwi's tags on the article because they were not engaging on the talk page. They are now blanking the article without engaging on talk. — kwami ( talk) 17:28, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{

on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the
guidance on discretionary sanctions and the
Arbitration Committee's decision
here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

.Hi, Tyler. I'm new to Wikipedia editing, so excuse me if I am asking an obvious question. I notice you have been editing the "Theology" heading for the Church of Norway. It's currently set as "Confessional Lutheranism". I don't know if you set that, or it was someone else. I read the "Confessional Lutheranism" article, and I'm pretty sure that's the wrong category, and that it should be "Lutheranism". Before I simply alter it, I wonder if you have a comment? Best wishes! PeterNimmo ( talk) 17:30, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
Thanks, I had a feeling something like that was going on. I'll make the change. Best regards, Peter PeterNimmo ( talk) 17:49, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.Hello! The reason why I un-linked the word "Finland" in the article Aimo Koivunen is because it's the styling custom used in Wikipedia. Please read this. I kindly suggest reading the basic principles of editing Wikipedia in general before abruptly reverting helpful changes. Anyways, happy editing! – Sullay ( Let's talk about it) 15:52, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

The use of the population of Norseman as 562 is referenced earlier in the article (in the Infobox), and already appears as the first item in the article's list of references. I hope you're not suggesting that every time the population of Norseman is mentioned in the article that a duplicate inline citation be provided. I refer you to MOS:LEADCITE. ".... it is common for citations to appear in the body, and not the lead" Regards 27.33.185.183 ( talk) 04:56, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
Hello! You keep deleting important Norwegian history, that of the Galtung family. The Galtung family has claimed to be descendants of the older Galte family for generations, just as the larger old clan Mel has debunked that claim since the name was given to the people at Torsnes in 1648. Since, the clan Mel has worked with historians to fix the history that was falsified to once again be correct. Please stop destroying the real history in favour of errors that has been long debunked. It is disrespectful to clan Mel (Melsætten), and not the least wrong.
