Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jeju uprising, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 38th parallel. 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.

Ergonomy/readability
As you just started edit-warring me on an article (and I still hope that you will discuss instead), let me say a general thing. I see your edits in quite some articles I edit, and I appreciate your work. However, there is one thing which I stumble over frequently, including our case at hand. While all your edits are all technically correct, they often hurt ergonomy/readability. For example in our case at hand, where you turn three chronological sub-headlines of six months periods at the same level into four sub-headlines on two different levels, without any discernable reason. Another issue being that while deleting an overload in internal links surely is a good thing, you do in my impression often have a tendency to remove the internal links in those places where clicking them would actually be in the interest of many readers. I do not call on you to just adopt to my point of view in these latter cases, just consider the consideration I just gave. -- 2A1ZA (talk) 22:48, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

3RR
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your being blocked from editing&mdash;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&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You currently have more than 4 reverts in the last 24 hrs. I won't break 3RR, you already have and I will not join you. Whilst I won't report you, someone else might. I'd recommend you self revert. WCM email 19:50, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I can't help but feel you've copied and pasted this, WCM. It's me who's been asking you to discuss things this past while, remember? Alfie Gandon (talk) 13:10, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I have fully protected British Empire so you all can discuss without disrupting the article. However it's clear to me that much of the edit warring has originated with you. It doesn't matter how much you believe your preferred version is correct, or supported by consensus, the back and forth editing is disruptive. Use the talk page, don't continue to revert. If consensus cannot be reached, seek dispute resolution. This is a kind reminder that if you continue to edit war after the protection expires, you may be blocked from editing. Thanks for your understanding &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  02:37, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I understand your course of action, but I'm not happy that I'm the only editor you've seen fit to caution. I have used the talk page, more than most if you'd taken the time to check. Alfie Gandon (talk) 02:58, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Read WP:BRD, you were bold, you were reverted, you then use the talk page to get an agreement to the changes. If you can't get agreement then you raise an RfC to get other editors involved and you can also look at dispute resolution.  What you don't do is simply say I'm right and impose your edits over long standing consensus based solutions.  Snowded  TALK 06:43, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I have read it, and there's more at issue here than how long this tag-team have enjoyed their consensus. For example, what solution is being defended with this revert: Alfie Gandon (talk) 13:15, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Then add WP:NPA to your reading list. Editors will disagree with you, deal with it on the talk page  Snowded  TALK 23:11, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The reason I asked you that question was because I don't understand how you can describe that revert as reflecting a long-standing consensus-based solution. Alfie Gandon (talk) 23:19, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * That relates to a second issue you seem to have on several articles, namely style. I reverted one sent of changes not because they were wrong, but because they did not read as well as the original.  The revert you referenced is another like that.  Again the solution is to go to the talk page.  It won't help if you edit war over substantive issues, it will just incline more editors to press the revert button.  Snowded  TALK 23:26, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Style wasn't the reason given for the revert (linking sovereign state was), and I did go to the talk page: Talk:British_Empire. Alfie Gandon (talk) 23:48, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * it is not enough to go to the talk page, you have to gain consensus there BEFORE you remake a contested edit Snowded  TALK 07:11, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Edit warring at Irish slaves myth
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Per a complaint at the edit warring noticeboard.

Greetings. On Jan. 19 I reverted an edit you had made earlier that day because the changes you made altered cited material. I see that you have reverted me, which is not appropriate, unless I am mistaken that your earlier changes altered cited material. I have once again reverted your edit, for the same reason. Please, as I may be mistaken here, observe WP:BRD and open a discussion about the passages on the article's talk page before reverting any more edits. Thanks.

Hey Alfie, posting this here so as not to derail that discussion too much. I encountered problematic edits (use of a non-reliable source) by Fergananim on Irish indentured servants here, back in January. I had already nominated one of their other articles for deletion on January 31, bere. So no, the MJ nomination was not a retaliation for their AFD vote (I assume that's what you're thinking?), although seeing their username did remind me that I had meant to look at their editing history in a bit more detail (obviously it does bear scrutiny).

Britain, UK, Great Britain
This has been debated ad nauseam on WP but "Britain" is short for "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", it is not short for "Great Britain" which does indeed not contain Northern Ireland.

https://www.theguardian.com/guardian-observer-style-guide-b ... "Britain, UK - These terms are synonymous: Britain is the official short form of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Used as adjectives, therefore, British and UK mean the same. Great Britain, however, refers only to England, Wales and Scotland. Take care not to write Britain when you might mean England and Wales, or just England – for example when referring to the education system. See Scotland"

No, you don't just remove long-standing, consensus content for as you did here, not bother leaving a message on the article's talk page properly explaining why you removed it, then try to leave the content to be forgotten in the annals of time. You haven't bothered to leave any form of record of what was removed, or why. It's evident (here) that you just want to drop the content. Such changes to content are not discussed via edit summaries.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Soviet Army, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Disambiguation link notification for March 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sinn Féin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Danny Morrison. 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.

Ignoring consensus and edit warring
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Pegida Ireland. ''Waiting a few weeks/months and then going at it again is textbook WP:POVWARRIOR behaviour.

Your recent editing history at Pegida Irelan shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your being blocked from editing&mdash;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&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Sockpuppet investigation
Just to note that the original investigation was into somebody else. I added you when I found evidence that suggested you might be a sockpuppet. Scolaire (talk) 12:57, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
