hello

help me to edit with Flutter (comic series) please

CESNUR article

Since you recently commented on the ANI thread about an organized promotion effort related to CESNUR, I'd like to ask you to help review that organization's article here on Misplaced Pages. In an attempt to comply with the spirit of WP:CANVAS, the same message is being sent to everyone who commented on the ANI thread, and no specific editing-conflict is being referenced: the article could simply benefit from more eyeballs.

Pizza

It really depends on the kind of pizza, clearly. 50% of a Hawaiian is a serious offense, for me at least. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:55, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BeenAroundAWhile. I noticed that you recently removed content from Attempted assassination of Donald Trump without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please don't remove important information from WP articles, as you did in this article. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 04:49, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Please don't remove important content from WP articles without a good reason being noted in the Edit summary, particularly the name of the person about whom the article is written. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 04:53, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Note to anyone looking in: the article in question had a title claiming a crime had been committed. What was removed was the name of an otherwise-unnotable living individual who the article suggested had committed said crime, despite never having been charged with it. The accusation was a BLP issue, (and BLP issue was noted in the edit summary, and was already in discussion on the talk page); see WP:BLPCRIME for a better understanding. The page in question has since been renamed to avoid the BLP problem. --Nat Gertler (talk) 05:12, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi there

I see that you've recently added a new section to Robert Flanders it's good information be it's unverifiable because it's unreferenced "WP:V ". If you would add some references it would be great other wise I'll revert the changes. Cheers Jezzy-lam (talk) 08:44, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert for Abortion

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in abortion. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi, Nat.

Thanks for your note about editing our Misplaced Pages page. As you noted, I work for the Environmental Working Group. Our page is repeatedly altered/edited by groups and individuals associated with the chemical and pesticide industries.

I understand your concerns about making edits suggested by a connected contributor. However, my main concern is that most published criticism of EWG on our Wiki page comes from groups funded by chemical and pesticide companies that are hostile to EWG's research. Groups that frequently criticise EWG include the Genetic Literacy Project and the American Council on Science and Health, which are funded by chemical manufacturers, and Chemist’s Corner/Perry Romanowski, who never provides sources and has produced some dubious science in the past.  

Can I send you some suggests edits for our page?

Thanks,

For a number of reasons (including that I'm hoping to reduce my Misplaced Pages involvement in the near future), you should not be requesting that I myself make those edits. Rather, you should read over our guide on how connected or paid contributors can request an edit, which involves posting to the Talk page of the article. That way, it will be seen by a larger set of editors. Request individual edits, and be specific. Be prepared for the likelihood that not every request you make will be done (that's not any comment on the requests that you are likely to make, just a reflection on the way these things generally go.) And thank you for understanding our concerns about connected contributors directly editing an article. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:36, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Cursing the fig tree

I'm sorry that my edit summary was a bit direct (and it even contained a typo, I inadvertently pressed enter while I was still editing it). However, I found surprising that an editor with your experience would accuse another editor of harassment when being the cause (in this case a tag that they needed followup about). Asking someone to stop pinging is fine though, of course... Regards, —PaleoNeonate – 13:31, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

@PaleoNeonate: - It's good to know that you, as an experienced Misplaced Pages editor, think it's appropriate for someone to harangue an editor for not doing a same-day responses on a non-urgent matter. And that you consider that the problem with using an edit summary to criticize another issue with an editor isn't that it isn't what an edit summary is for, but that it's somehow "too direct". --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:24, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

March 2020

Your recent editing history at Klik‎ 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Elizium23

I think you're trying to be helpful and thanks for that. But you need to be aware that Elizium has been quite threatening to me elsewhere (see the incident he recorded on the administration pages). He said that he had complained to his priest about me in confession about how angry I make him. This is weird and kind of unsettling behaviour. I've shown forbearance and have tried to be reasonable. I appreciate your interventions and I hope I've shown that I have tried to be constructive throughout - not threatening or aggressive. But we probably need to draw a line under this particular discussion. Thanks again. Contaldo80 (talk) 01:03, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
