User talk:51.7.23.38

Title links
Hi there! Apologies, but I've had to revert your removals of the link to the main articles on the US Olympic and Track and Field Championships articles. It is common practice to link to the parent topic in the lead sentence and this helps avoid needless repetition of the subject in the first instance. Thanks! SFB 21:52, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Were you planning on making another 50 reverts? And how is that not massively abusing your undo tool? I will unblock if you agree not to continue reverting, and instead to discuss the changes and achieve some level of consensus first. I'd also like you to make an effort to use edit summaries to explain your edits. ST47 (talk) 22:07, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I certainly was, because MOS:BOLDAVOID is very straightforward and should be followed. The mass revert of my edits using the rollback tool was highly inappropriate and needs to be reversed. Why did you block me without warning, for following guidelines? Are you familiar with the manual of style? If not, why not?
 * You think I have an "undo tool"? WTF?
 * There is a consensus for the changes I made. It is described at MOS:BOLDAVOID.
 * The user who reverted all of my edits misused their rollback tool. "it is considered inappropriate to use it in situations where an explanatory edit summary would normally be expected... Use of standard rollback for any other purposes – such as reverting good-faith changes which you happen to disagree with – is likely to be considered misuse of the tool". 51.7.23.38 (talk) 22:11, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, you're obviously an LTA, so I guess I'll just reinstate the range block. ST47 (talk) 22:15, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * This person had been harrassing me and editor Materialscientist for months. So thanks for extending the block.BabbaQ (talk) 09:07, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
