Trade unions in the United Kingdom
Hi Boleslaw. I see you moved Trade unions in the United Kingdom to Trades unions in the United Kingdom the other day. There was a bit of discussion about this sometime ago at Talk:Trade union, and you will find that all the articles at WikiProject Organized Labour/list of Trade unions in country articles and the categories at use the singular Trade unions. I'd like to move the page back to that spelling, but didn't want to just barge in and change it without saying hello. Cheers.--Bookandcoffee 05:59, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

RE: List of UK Christmas Number 1s
Replied at the article talk page, but basically, don't put it in per WP:TRIVIA. While it's a plotline in a film, it's nowhere near the main one, and has very little to do with the list of Christmas number ones. f o x 19:03, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Jokes?
Were this and this intended as jokes? Please don't do that. Chick Bowen 00:58, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of List of winners of mrs joyce prize for mafia work
Hello Boleslaw,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of winners of mrs joyce prize for mafia work for deletion, because it seems to be vandalism or a hoax.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Lockley (talk) 22:23, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of List of winners of mrs joyful prize for rafia work


A tag has been placed on List of winners of mrs joyful prize for rafia work requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. —Torchiest talkedits 22:29, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Overlinking
Hi - please red WP:Overlinking which says, among other things, that we don't normally link to "Everyday words understood by most readers in context", so I've reverted your links of horses and wheels. Doug Weller talk 09:44, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Verifiability. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Stop changing gender-neutral and nonbinary-inclusive language to less inclusive forms in Wikipedia articles and policies, such as changing singular they'' to "he or she", or insisting on grammatically incorrect forms such as "they is" when referring to an individual. You appear to have sufficient grasp of the English language to realize that such forms are incorrect, and as such I can only conclude that you are making these edits to make a point, but if you really do not understand how to use this form of gender-neutral language, please see our singular they article. If you continue making edits like this you will be blocked from editing.'' Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:11, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Thank you for getting in touch with me. I do not think my edit was disruptive nor unconstructive and I do not think that a reasonable person would either. Best wishes. Boleslaw (talk) 22:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Standard ArbCom sanctions notice

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Anti-gender movement. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sideswipe9th (talk) 19:30, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

meh. change it back to 'writes' if you can be bothered. Boleslaw (talk) 19:32, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
