Disambiguation link notification for August 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aberdeen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charles II. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi Kez321! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Hello, please refrain from marking edits as "minor" when they are not, such as on Alba Party. You have been warned about this before, and I can see you seem to be marking near every one of your edits as minor. When edits are marked as minor, editors who are watching the page are not notified about your change which is particularly an issue as you are changing contentious information, while "minor" edits are only for things no-one could argue with, such as reverting vandalism or typo corrections. You can talk to me about this here, or on my talk page. Uses x (talk • contribs) 18:32, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

March 2021

Your recent editing history at Alba Party shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

ANI notice - disruptive editing.

Final warning

Kez321, nationalism ≠ racism. Maintaining it is otherwise, in addition to being a novel interpretation, is inflammatory and inappropriate. So, please desist or sanctions are likely to become imminent. Thanks. El_C 13:20, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

@El C:, various forms of nationalism are connected with racism, including, in the UK context, the English version. Attempts are made to tar the Scottish version with the same brush. Offence was given, for instance, by what was perceived as deliberate references by Boris Johnson to the Scottish Nationalist Party rather than, its proper name, the Scottish National Party.     ←   ZScarpia   17:18, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

ZScarpia, you’re not seeing the full story. In now rev del edit summaries they accused other editors with being racist for using the word “nationalist”. That was part of the reason for the block. DeCausa (talk) 17:52, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

The edit summaries in question accuse other editors of using the word "nationalist" as an intentional racist slur. That's not acceptable behavior. Acroterion (talk) 18:00, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Apologies. yes that was it. DeCausa (talk) 18:14, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. DeCausa (talk) 13:45, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

March 2021

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Acroterion (talk) 14:27, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

If you accuse other editors of racism for disagreeing with you again, you will be blocked indefinitely. Acroterion (talk) 14:28, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
