move Celts (modern) to Celtic identity

I am going to revert this edit. Such move requests are not done using this depreciated template.

If you want to put in a request for a page move please read WP:RM and follow the guidance of how to place such a request on to the talk page of the article. -- PBS (talk) 21:19, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

September 2012

Your recent editing history at Greeks shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Δρ.Κ.  22:22, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Jim1138 (talk) 22:26, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

These are really important, especially when there is no clear justification for an edit. Having found that your edits to Celts seem to contradict the source (which suggests you just ignored the source and added your personal analysis), I'm tempted to revert most of your edits as unjustified. Dougweller (talk) 09:36, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

And not to pile on, but at Ptolemaic Dynasty, all I was asking was that you cite either a reliable source, include an edit summary, or cite a discussion to gain consensus. I clearly assumed good faith as noted by "reverted good faith edits by". I'm hoping you're not that IP, or in cahoots with that IP, because if so that could be considered sock puppetry. I am, for the time being, going to assume that that's just my paranoia kicking in, but I will monitor it. Edit summary, edit summary, edit summary. Thanks--Go Phightins!

Disambiguation link notification for September 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Cimmerians (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

added links pointing to Alyattes and Iranian

Sea Peoples (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)

Disambiguation link notification for November 30

Military history of ancient Gaul

I don't agree with redirecting this to "battles involving the Gauls." Military history is more than a list of battles. It can include articles on military structure and organization, types of equipment, subcategories on military commanders and ranks, and so on. Compare Category:Military history of ancient Rome. I think you might want to ask for some input at WP:WikiProject Celts on some of the changes you're making singlehandedly. No offense, but you're making rather sweeping changing for someone with fewer than 300 edits. Cynwolfe (talk) 14:54, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

No problem. See my response at my talk page. Cynwolfe (talk) 16:04, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Helvetii

Hello. You have made several edits to various pages changing the identification of the Helvetii as Gauls rather than Celts. On what sources do you base these edits?  Sandstein  22:57, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I've responded on your talkpage. Krakkos (talk) 00:23, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Britannica

Thanks for your work but I really don't think the Britannica is a satisfactory source. See for instance the discussion at and my comments at Talk:Tocharians. Dougweller (talk) 10:01, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Vandal Kingdom for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Vandal Kingdom is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Vandal Kingdom (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. SpinningSpark 21:24, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Recent article moves: no rationale given

Greetings. I wanted to ask about your rationale for several recent moves to pages (namely Norse architecture and Norse art), as you left no reasoning for the page moves nor initiated any discussion for such a move, nor any evidence of the prior names. It is customary prior to making any move that could possibly be considered controversial to raise the issue via a template message so that others may discuss the move, and even in those cases, leaving a rationale for the move.

Suev* vs Sueb*

Why are you suppressing the spelling "Suevi" etc.? It is as common in English as the alternative. Srnec (talk) 03:49, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

May 2013

Please stop your disruptive editing. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Now you are being disruptive by creating a copy of Ancient Anatolians in List of ancient peoples of Anatolia Cavann (talk) 21:38, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Category Tags

Hi Krakkos - you seem to have spent a good portion of today removing category tags from a massive range of articles. While I applaud your diligence, I'm very unclear as to what your aim is, and as a result I'm tempted to start reverting your changes. Using Edit Summaries would perhaps make it clearer to the other users watching the pages you are editing as to what you are trying to accomplish. Gabhala (talk) 22:10, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

I've no problem with that per se, but you have been blazing a trail through literally dozens of articles, with no explanation of exactly what you're doing. That's bound to raise some hackles, or at the very least, eyebrows... Gabhala (talk) 22:20, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

A page you started has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Vangio and Sido, Krakkos!

Misplaced Pages editor Falkirks just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

I have reviewed and passed your new article. Great Work!

Category:North Germanic peoples

Was there a discussion somewhere about emptying the category? I see you are moving all pages that had Category:North Germanic peoples to Category:North Germanic peoples... Howcome? — -dainomite   20:17, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Heya, I saw your reply, I was just curious howcome you were merging them or if there was a discussion with other folks about it somewhere. Cheers, — -dainomite   20:23, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

August 2013

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Misplaced Pages, as you did at Normans, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Saddhiyama (talk) 22:00, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
