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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article Jin_(Korean_state) 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. re this edit described as "corrected typos", actually a change of era style. Barsoomian (talk) 13:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
These matters can be resolved Dispute resolution noticeboard. If some of my edits should not have taken place, then it was an error. At first I thought these date styles were typos, but in fact, as I looked into the matter, there seems to be an edit war which includes bullying and abuse of power by some admins. I will not dispute any articles in which I made an error. However, a "consensus" isn't reached by User:Barsoomian declaring one. Also, WP:ERA states that "preference" is not a reason to change the date style, so "preference" cannot be used for the reason to achieve a consensus 99.101.160.126 (talk) 15:53, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"An error". Every edit you've ever made has been to change the date format to BC/AD. If WP:ERA would be against that, you do it anyway and use a misleading summary, like "correct typo". Barsoomian (talk) 16:33, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So now you can read my mind? If I have made an edit in error, point it out to me and I will change it. I admit that I do make mistakes. However, that does not change the fact that you are wrong on the issue before the Dispute resolution noticeboard. A consensus has not been reached to change that date, and a valid reason hasn't been given. The only reason you can provide has to do with preference, so in the end, the original date style will be restored. Will you make the same offer to me as I made to you? Will you restore the edits you made without justification? I doubt you will 99.101.160.126 (talk) 16:39, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not reading your mind. I'm pointing out facts documented in your edit history. I won't debate Legio IX Hispana here. Barsoomian (talk) 17:23, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
