Parliamentary Procedure WikiProject

Thank you for the work you have been doing on the Robert's Rules article. Wikipedia has a Parliamentary Procedure Project which may be of interest to you. Cheers. Jonathunder ( talk) 16:36, 16 September 2015 (UTC) reply

Jonathunder I took your suggestion and ran with it... Thanks! Ronruser ( talk) 03:59, 19 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Hi. On the assumption that you're still working on this, it might be worthwhile putting a {{Template:In creation}} on it so that it doesn't get flagged by a reviewer. Cheers, Hydronium Hydroxide ( talk) 16:15, 13 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Disambiguation link notification for December 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Majority, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Simple majority. 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.

Use of templates

Hello and welcome. Regarding this edit, the convention is to omit the "Template:" when using article-space templates. Thus {{ WikiProject Parliamentary Procedure}}, not {{ Template:WikiProject Parliamentary Procedure}}. See Help:Template. -- DanielPenfield ( talk) 07:20, 17 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Proposed deletion of Meeting (parliamentary procedure)

The article Meeting (parliamentary procedure) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This seems to be original research - items from Roberts Rules are presented as if they apply to all parliaments, without any evidence to justify this implicit claim. It needs to be properly sourced and also carefully qualified. Or deleted.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Merging

There's a clear process for merging articles, explained at WP:MERGE. I'd be grateful if you would follow it, including tagging the pages so other people know what you propose, informing significant contributors, and waiting 30 days to see if anyone objects. Andyjsmith ( talk) 17:49, 17 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Understood. I thought these merges were obvious and uncontroversial. I'll hold off doing any more for now. Ronruser ( talk) 17:52, 17 January 2016 (UTC) reply

Your recent editing history at Robert's Rules of Order shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.

Thanks for the message and thanks for helping get the page temporarily locked. Hopefully I can get this issue resolved with this editor. Ronruser ( talk) 23:42, 10 March 2018 (UTC) reply
