December 2020[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to 1860 United States presidential election does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! ― Tartan357 ^Talk 11:03, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

March 2021[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, as you did at War cabinet crisis, May 1940, you may be blocked from editing. Do NOT make moves of this sort without gaining WP:CONSENSUS first. No Great Shaker (talk) 15:48, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise for moving a page without first seeking consensus about said move. However, with all due respect, the wording of your request for me to do so appears unnecessarily hostile to me. For instance, you appear to alledge that I have recently engaged in repeated disruptive editing. However, the only evidence of such disruptive editing is my move of a page without seeking consensus, a mistake for which I have apologised. I would like to gently request that you keep Wikipedia's talk page guidlines in mind and refrain from engaging in unwarranted hostility against me. Lord Stephenson (talk) 00:08, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Apology accepted. The message is auto-generated with a pre-set wording which is not always appropriate, but the point here is that altering the title of a long-established article is likely to be controversial without prior consensus. The politics project has been beset by vandalism and disruptive activity so we are taking stern action whenever anything occurs that is out of order. I notice that you have rightly corrected references to the Liberal National Party and thank you for that – I should have spotted myself in the Churchill ministries.

1993, 1997, 2000 Canadian Federal Elections infobox images[edit]

Hello,

I have reverted your three edits on those three elections infoboxes, because I believe that it is better to use images that matched with the date of the elections. For example, Chretien and Bouchard's photos should be the one that was taken in the 1990s, as the elections also occurred in the 1990s. Ak-eater06 (talk) 19:05, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Olaf Scholz. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Since September 9, you have attempted to force File:Finanzminister Gernot Blümel in Brüssel (49417807823) (cropped).jpg onto this article eight times. In your edit summaries you are telling people they need to seek consensus to change the image (example), yet it was you who changed it in the first place without doing that [1]. You don't get to try to force your way to your preferred version. This is blatant edit warring and needs to end now. You are obviously in dispute over the image, and your preferred version is not being accepted. Start seeking consensus at Talk:Olaf Scholz and stop making the change until consensus emerges in support of the change. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:27, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
