Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited List of Football Associations by date of foundation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Solna (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

England

My apologies for reverting you as a "vandal" that button is too close to "undo" on the iPad. However please read WP:BRD, you have been bold, you have been reverted you now discuss. ----Snowded ^TALK 05:51, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on England. 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.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
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; 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..

Not sure what aspect of WP:BRD you don't understand but to spell it out: ifa change you make is opposed then you discuss it on the talk page. Just putting your edit in again is edit warring. You should also note that three reverts in 24 hours is not a right, slow edit warring over days can also result a block. I suggest you self revert and put your case on the talk page ----Snowded ^TALK 01:25, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

May 2013

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Eurovision Song Contest 1958, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please be advised that the Manual of Style calls for gender-neutral speech! Thanks! Mr. Gerbear (talk) 08:56, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Great Continental Railway Journeys, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Basque Country and San Sebastian. 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.

2015 International Champions Cup and editing guidelines

You not only added flag for the nations in the infobox, which goes against WP:INFOBOXFLAG, you elected to use the one that links to the nations, which goes against WP:OVERLINK. I removed the template and left the country names. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:40, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your edit summaries

Hello Mike

You have been slowly editing many wikis since February, changing map images with edit summaries like Changed the location map to one with the United Kingdom shaded grey as we have now left the diabolical EUSSR (thank God).

While I appreciate that you update the maps, please be civil and avoid attacks on your edit summaries. You may hold your own views, but there is no need to offend anyone. Just use a neutral phrase, such as Change location map to one with the United Kingdom shaded grey as it is no longer in the European Union.

Kind regards
