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 November 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gaulish language, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Celtic (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

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)
