Deletion request

Hi Anon, you tried to initiate a deletion discussion for the article Brianne Sloan, but without an account you haven't got sufficient user rights to do this. I removed your listing on today's log.

If you want to go ahead with the deletion request, please explain your reason here on the page, and I will then complete the process for you. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 07:56, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

• The deletion request was done because this person is not notable and the links provided in the references are all dead. It appears to be written by someone trying to promote themselves. 99.101.160.126 (talk) 06:08, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
  • I share your concern. You find the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brianne Sloan. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 07:09, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

January 2012

Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Comanche County, Oklahoma. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this article.

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article Khawak Pass has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. Describing your change as "correct typo", when there was no error and it was an editorial change. Barsoomian (talk) 08:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. re this edit described as "corrected typos", actually a change of era style. Barsoomian (talk) 13:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

You have changed the date style of articles from the original BCE/CE style to AD/BC, in defiance of the WP:ERA guidelines you quote elsewhere as justification for your edits. You disingenuously described your edits as as "minor clean up" / "correct typo". You've done the same thing in several edits. Please stop this behaviour. Barsoomian (talk) 08:46, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

The guidelines read "Do not arbitrarily change from one era style to the other on any given article. Instead, attempt to establish a consensus for change at the talk page. Reasons for the proposed change should be specific to the content of the article; a general preference for one style over another is not a valid reason." I strongly suggest you stay away from changing era styles. The fact that you have disguised edits with misleading edit summaries is enough for you to have been blocked. Dougweller (talk) 08:51, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

There has been no "disguised edits." The WP:ERA is clear on this matter. You should not arbitrarily make these edits, which is exactly what you are doing. In fact, looking through your history, you have an extensive background doing the same thing: changing the date style, then threatening to block those people who change it back. If you indeed have the authority to "block" people, your behavior should be examined. Therefore, I am going to research how I can have your repeated actions examined for wrong doing99.101.160.126 (talk) 15:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
