Drcrazy102,
BalCoder has mislead you to believe that he/she is preserving an earlier version of the WP article. In truth, this user has unilaterally removed an entire sourced section "PR systems in the broader family of voting systems" from the WP (which was not created by me) without reaching consensus! This user has also sneaked in large paragraphs of politically partisan material. I have also used an 'adaptive edit' and have included components of BalCoder's edits, while he/she has merely mass-reverted mine. Please reconsider your reversion.

Drcrazy,
I have noticed that BalCoder is once again attempting to have me blocked. However, like I said, this user has unilaterally removed large sections from the WP article and has inserted large paragraphs of politically motivated content under the guise of preserving an earlier version. My concern is, if we are both banned, that all of his/her massive unsourced reversions/large edits will stay in place, while my meticulously sourced and well written content will be removed. I hope that you could provide your input on the above mentioned noticeboard. In particular, which user you feel has provided sources to substantiate edits/reversions, and which user has not.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Evolve (video game), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Forcefield. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, Drcrazy102 -- First, I love that photo of the dog and the hydrangeas above! Second, I need your help with something, and Baffle gab is on a break so I can't ask him/her. I just placed a GOCE template at the top of the talk page of an article I had copy-edited a few days ago, Murder of Meredith Kercher. (I just realized I hadn't written "Done" on the WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests page, so I did that. I also added a clarification needed tag to the article, in response to a suggestion from Baffle gab1978 at User talk:Baffle gab1978/Archives/1#Murder of Meredith Kercher, and pretty much transferred my question to the article's talk page.) However, when I looked at the talk page after I saved the GOCE template, I saw that it was separate from the rest of the things there. I had never seen that happen before. I also thought perhaps the GOCE template should be collapsed because there are so many things there. I neither know where to put the GOCE template nor how to collapse it. Can you do that for me so I can see where to put the template and how to collapse it? Thank you. Corinne ( talk) 16:22, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

's) to include the GOCE template, so you have a template-within-a-template. I think the banner shell was causing the small white-space between the templates; probably something in the back-end of its coding which could be fixed but I can't be stuffed finding what it is that needs fixing - if there even is anything - plus there were probably brighter sparks than I who created the template but didn't fix the spacing for whatever reason./w/

, but they are all the same diff. The oldID, oldid, OLDid, is the revision number of the diff you came from to get to the diff you are viewing at that time. There is probably someone like
RedRose64 who could explain this better, mainly since I only deal with how to implement the templates rather than try to code them. I'd likely break Wiki, if not the Universe, if I tried.
