Virgin (disambiguation)
Hi, Could you tell me Why you removed my contribution to this? Belew62856 (talk) 15:31, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Belew62856, disambiguation pages should not contain references and the use you added is a generic dictionary use of the word as an adjective. The page does not list other types of virgin materials. older ≠ wiser 19:42, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Corvo
Hi, please see Talk:Corvo. Note that you should not simply revert my edit a third time, or you would be in breach of WP:3RR. &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 12:42, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Pretty much irrelevant. You can re-word the entry if you like. But the entry should follow guidelines for disambiguation page entries, particularly to avoid piping links per WP:DABPIPE. older ≠ wiser 16:15, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Steelpillow@Bkonrad How about a redirect? Seems reasonable here so I've boldly made one and added it to the dab page. I think it is now compliant with MOS:DAB. Pam  D  17:50, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

How would I go about changing a name of a Wikipedia page?
Hey! I noticed you reverted my edit and I realized my mistake, how do I change that page to have the disambiguation in the title? I'm particularly new to editing, my apologies. GraysonRV (talk) 16:00, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * , if all you want is to rename a page, WP:Requested moves has instructions for starting a discussion to establish consensus. If this is in regards to this edit, you may want to review this earlier discussion which resulted in the current disambiguation page being at Sephiroth. older ≠ wiser 17:03, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. Thanks for the tip, have a good one! GraysonRV (talk) 17:06, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Note there were related discussions at Talk:Sephiroth (Final Fantasy) and here. older ≠ wiser 17:07, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Be careful and responsible for any Revert made
I have reverted your Revert in NCS with specific reference. Do your own research before reverting everything. I have seen you tried to revert multiple entries without giving any objective evidentiary argument. Just as the one you did for BASC, you did the Revert and then make everything back again. Be careful and responsible for every edit you made, per community guidances. Please carefully read WP:REVERT. I suppose you understand Wikipedia community rules and guidances as an experienced contributor. Thank you. From the community guidance, it says that "Consider carefully before reverting, as it rejects the contributions of another editor, and all others' after the edit in question. Consider what you object to, and what the editor was attempting. Can you improve the edit, bringing progress, rather than reverting it?" Next time, I invite you to be thoughtful to bring improvement to Wikipedia, not constantly reverting entry edits and other people's contributions. Can we? Cfls (talk) 17:49, 16 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Please do not tell me that "disambiguation pages should not contain references" etc.
 * Your move made this to be happened inevitably. Cfls (talk) 17:54, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If you ever implemented a keyword search with quotation mark on Google, you would find that "National Supervisory Commission" has 23,100 results, while "National Commission of Supervision" has 94,000 results across the Internet. The Chinese government (as well as the world media) uses both in their communications interchangeably (you can use site:gov.cn to quickly find this out). Your revert is more than interesting and thoughtful, I suppose. Cfls (talk) 18:00, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Cfls To include that entry in the dab page, you need (a) a statement in the article on the commission to say that it is also known as the National Commission of Supervision: the source you added to the dab page (dab pages don't take references) would support that statement; and (b) evidence that it is also known by the initials "NCS", which is not available from that source. Until then, the entry does not belong in the dab page. Pam  D  18:02, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Full stops
Sorry what was the reason you reverted my edits. Kazama16 (talk) 17:19, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Re: Forbes (disambiguation)
I can appreciate the changes you made to my edits as WP:MOSDAB, except the removal of the asterix. I don't expect you to know the signifance of the Forbes Purchase to the history of the U.S. or how integral they are to the Forbes clan, please read, and I would have added a citation but a DAB page isn't the place for that. PorkyPowerPeanut (talk) 05:00, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Please do not pipe links like you did on disambiguation pages. And a company does not belong under the 'People' category, regardless of the significance. older ≠ wiser 10:39, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Good to find an adminstartor who'd prefer to admonish in Edit summaries and Talk pages, rather than offer more inviting words from the start, wiser words of advice or clarification, friendly words of encouragement to editors just feeling their way... rather than doing their best to drive them away. Or is it simply because I dared to revert your edit?? PorkyPowerPeanut (talk) 22:44, 25 April 2023 (UTC)


 * John Forbes and Company is still on the page (and it was prior to your edit). older ≠ wiser 00:20, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
