Can't decide if this is still an edit war

Regarding Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Film Fan and User:Serijvip reported by User:Lugnuts (Result: ). Do you think this is still an edit war? The two sides seem unrepentant, but neither of them is still reverting (since Jan. 2). None of the listed diffs are from Jan. 3. Thanks for any opinion, EdJohnston (talk) 01:14, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Please pardon the intrusion Lugnuts. EdJohnston I was placing a question at that 3rr report about the same time that you were posting this. As blocks are not punitive the edit war may well be over so your question is a fair one. OTOH I am wondering whether it might be time for a 1rr for either or both editors. I have seen Film Fan return to this behavior again and again. It would be great if edit warring wan't their default MO. Thanks to you both for your time. MarnetteD|Talk 01:36, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: and @MarnetteD: - Thanks for your comments. Maybe a voluntary 1RR would be a good idea. Lugnuts 08:05, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Hi! I wish you and your pals a Happy New Year, all the best in 2016! How are you doing? As for me I'm doing well, stressful Holiday period but I'll be back as soon as soon as the season starts. :) Mattsnow81 (Talk) 19:16, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the thank you and for assisting me in articles

Thank you Lugnuts for your small thank yous which prop me up and motivate me. I got my first DYK on the Misplaced Pages main page today. You played a part in it as I followed your editing and learnt a lot on how to make pages of cricketers. Thank you. Feels good. Xender Lourdes (talk) 04:23, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

No problem - glad to help. Lugnuts 08:04, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Lugnuts hello. Today I got my first good article. Leaving a note as I just wanted to share with the editors who have helped me settle in. Xender Lourdes (talk) 16:31, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Nice article too! Lugnuts 19:02, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

West Indies cricket team in New Zealand in 2015–16

The series has not been confirmed by any reliable source. The official New Zealand cricket website does not mention the series. Even the source you are relying on does not mention it in the New Zealand schedule. Sidhant99 (talk) 06:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi. It's listed at the bottom, under the West Indies schedule. Thanks. Lugnuts 08:17, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Thought you might like to see this

Improper insertion of info on Japan page

As an experienced editor you should know better then this edit . You reinserted information that is over 1 month out of date, lacking the updates found on the Asia page. If it had been updated, it would be an exact redundant replica of the Asia page. Further, you reinserted with no reason and a warning to me after counting my reverts - essentially thumbing your nose at me. You failed to discuss the issue on the talk page (something I have done). I suggest you revert yourself and discuss your concerns first. Convince me there is a reason for your edit please.

Oh and your talk page is offensive. Legacypac (talk) 13:30, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

As an experienced editor you should know better than reverting three times. Oh wait... Lugnuts 13:33, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Danish?

Heya! As you've noticed, I'm in the process of GA-improving the article. Going to nominate it soon after a copyedit rundown from a friend. Please, join in during the review with thoughts for improvement and/or edits. Best, Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your prize!) 15:14, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check it out. Lugnuts 15:16, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Administrator Diannaa have been kind enough to shorten the plot down to 620 words compared to the over-long 800 words. Have gone ahead and nominated the article for GA-status. I'll keep you informed. Best, Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your prize!) 15:24, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Three Men Who Used the Name Harry Lorraine

You're conflating three people - two actors named Harry Lorraine, one American and the other English - and third man who also used the name Harry Lorraine and was a theater booking agent. The birth information and categories are for the English man, the death is for the booking agent, and the filmography is for the American one. (See http://www.felbridge.org.uk/index.php/publications/harry-lorraine/ and http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F01E7D6153FE53ABC4A51DFBE66838F629EDE.) IMdb does not have correct information about these men. Ira Leviton (talk) 19:09, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

@Ira Leviton: - I've not forgotten about this - I've been busy with other stuff. Hopefully look at this later. Lugnuts 15:22, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Not a problem, and not a rush - these three are mixed together with similar single biography all over the Internet. I was updating the page for Bayside Cemetery (Queens and looking for notable people buried there when I found Harry Wolff aka Harry Lorraine's obituary and realized that there was more than one. I made pages for Harry Lorraine (English actor) and Harry Wolff (American booking agent), though I need more references and have to make other improvements. Ira Leviton (talk) 04:22, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

@Ira Leviton: - I think this is all fixed now (in terms of article names and dates). Thanks for spotting it in the first place. Lugnuts 14:01, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

And thank you for making the fixes and a disambiguation page. I'll continue to look for references, which will probably be obscure, to add to the pages. Ira Leviton (talk) 01:43, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

No problem! Lugnuts 07:45, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

I noticed your edits to the above pages removed the "Merge" template. As the creator and a significant contributor to both articles, I don't think you're an objective observer. I have restored the revisions with the templates.

Tasmanian cricketers

Congratulations. Well done and thanks for your industry in updating existing articles or adding new ones. I've changed the info for Richard Barnes and will email Cricinfo asking them to update that player's page. The R Barnes who was born 5 Sept 1852, died fifteen months later in January 1854.

Cheers Wgolf. I was going to look at them at some point, but I see you're doing a great job with them. Thanks! Lugnuts 20:11, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

please use cricketarchive plus cricinfo

Hello. I see you have continued your hard work in adding articles for more Tasmanian cricketers. Cricinfo is an important source, but I didn't realise how many name errors it shows. For some reason players of decades ago have had their first given name listed as their "common" name. For example, Arthur Burrows ! He was known during his life as Owen Burrows as per this http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/30109064 and also this http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/188819601. Here is his Cricketarchive page with correct name shown http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/2/2429/2429.html . Please check the cricketarchive.com pages for each player you do from now on and add that site as a second source to each article. Edward Butler (b 1883) should have remained as Leo Butler as per here http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/1043749 . I'd be happy to help locate contemporary press articles if you want clarification on any names. RossRSmith (talk) 21:11, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Season start

I wrote a bit on Simon Gerrans' article, exciting season start! Sagan missed out on a stage win in San Luis though. Awful lots of crashes as you may have eard.

First Steps

Hi there, I've done some work on this film article and after screening the film numerous times, I've found some problems with the information that was originally in the article. First of all, it appears to be a United Nations Film Board work, and was shot AFAIK, entirely in the United States at a summer camp in New York State, not India. The doctor in charge of medical care was likely from India but that is the only connection I can make to India. Please check over the article to see if I am right. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 16:17, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Looks good - nice work! Lugnuts 19:25, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

AWB

There's a system bug by which after a page move, such as the one that happened on December 20 if you check the edit history, a page gets mistakenly picked up by the Uncategorized Pages tool even if it is properly categorized. I don't know why it happens, but it does, and once it has happened there's no other way to make the page drop back off the list until somebody edits it again. So sometimes I do have to apply an edit that looks "inconsequential" if you don't know why I'm actually doing it — but it's actually not inconsequential, because if I hit a piece of system-bug kludge when I'm running an uncategorized pages batch I have to get that page off the list. I cannot just let it sit there as a permanent speed bump that will still be sitting there the next time I run a batch, and the time after that and the next time after that too — if it hits my list, I have to do whatever is necessary to clear it off. Bearcat (talk) 08:33, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

No worries. I should clarify as well that what I'm actually trying to do, and hoping for, when I hit such a page is the ability to just null-edit it, by hitting save without actually applying any changes at all — weirdly, that does actually work as a way to get the page cleared back off the uncats list (and since it doesn't register in the edit history, I don't have to worry about people coming back to question me about it afterward.) So I'm not going around purposely inserting or removing spaces from articles as a thing that I've actively coded for, trust me — but as I'm sure you know, AWB also adds its own automated cleanup edits to pages in addition to the edits that the user is actively applying on purpose, and the only way I can turn that off entirely is to make AWB completely skip a page where it's only applying genfixes. But the skip just leaves it still on the list — so if AWB has applied its own minor style fixes to a page I'm actually trying to null, I end up having to hit save anyway, even if it's an edit I'd actually rather not have to attach to my name because it looks inconsequential. Ideally, what I'd like to see is for the bug to get fixed so that those pages actually don't clutter up the uncats list at all anymore — but I've filed bugfix requests on it several times in the past, and they've still never been resolved. (And then, for added bonus, there's also an even more complicated system bug by which very occasionally even editing the article still fails to drop the page off the list, and instead I have to do a full-on "temporarily delete the page entirely and then restore it".) Ah, the Age of Technology! Bearcat (talk) 18:33, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
