Complaints about my edit reversions
If you have come here to complain that I have reverted your unexplained, and/or unsourced change, and are planning to redo it, please consider sourcing it and providing an Edit summary to tell everyone why you have made the change.

If you either cannot or do not want to do this it might be worth your while wondering why you are making the edit at all.

In addition to the incidence of people randomely changing numbers to see if anyone notices or because they think it's big or clever, a chain of IP editors is making random nuisance changes to F1 articles. If I have reverted one of your edits which appears to be one of them, your best course is to add an explanation, consisting of a reference or at least an Edit summary, when you redo it.
 * Random number changes.

A typical phrase here is "probably best known as" and although this is only an example I will explain why it does not belong in the encyclopedia. The "probably" is the vague part: words like "hopefully" and "prospectively" are the same. The "shelf life" part is the "best known as". Not only does this depend on where you are in the world and which generation you belong to but if the subject does something more notable it may not stay that way for long. "best known as" should be replaced by something more verifiable like "appeared in". NPOV comes in where phrases like "starred in" or "dominated" are used. We know they were there: whether they "starred" or "dominated" is often opinion and in any case this kind of puffery is not the job of an encyclopedia.
 * Short shelf life, vagueness and NPOV issues

Rhodes - In case you weren't aware
FYI, the Cecil Rhodes article is constantly being vandalised. Thanks for your effort, and the wasted time you've expended.

Ruhollah Khomeini
Your excuse for reverting Khomeini's religious identification is redundant and doesn't even stand against innumerable articles of other figures who have their specific religion mentioned - whether that be catholic, baptist, Theravada Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, orthodox Judaism, reform Judaism etc. You must have much stronger reasoning for removing well cited info that has the precedent of specifics from plentiful other articles. If you can't provide better reasoning and keep reverting, i will report your suspect behaviour.58.106.252.233 (talk) 14:21, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Rollbacker
I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ABritmax granted] rollback rights to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it.

"Details" definition
You have reverted my edits because of

1- Too much details for the kead

2- Poor English

First: Khomeini's hypocrisy is not "detail" this is the key to all contemporary history of Iran and the main criticism of his political life. It is backed by very reliable sources and almost undisputed.

Second: Feel free to enhance composition and strength of my writings (or leave this job to other editors) but do not justify your ruining everything by such an excuse. WP is an international collaboration project. Khomeini's article officially has asked for expert advise from Iran. Here You are! I am an Iranians expert and English is not my native language.

Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig
Hi - I notice you have reverted my expansion of this article. If you look back I actually undertook a huge amount of work on the article to bring it up to B-Class in the first place.

 * Hi - I note your interesting response "Why would I do that?" and that you "can't say whether you will revert my future edits in the same way". OK you win...I have written around 2,000 articles now for wikipedia and I have come across a great many editors who are completely committed to the wikipedia project. But never before have I come across anyone who's sole purpose is to revert new material. You may consider my work "excessive detail" but the general principle on wikipedia is that properly sourced material wins. And, in my view, getting the details right is important. I will not seek to advance this article further, notwithstanding all the work I and many others have already put into it, and let's just hope our paths do not cross again. Best wishes.

Internet or internet?
The Internet as we know it is a global communications network. The term is a proper noun that is ALWAYS capitalized. Local internet networks are NOT capitalized. When "internet" is used as a word for any purpose other than the global network, the word is NOT capitalized.

"Prohibition" is another example of misspelled capitalization. Prohibition in the United States from 1920 to 1933 is a proper noun that is always capitalized. Any other use of the word "prohibition" is not capitalized.

I hope that this clarifies your confusion.

Equating Waterloo to Reading Line to 'Windsor Lines' (plural)
Dear Britmax. It may well be that various people use anachronistic misnomers but it is not good form. That is why you will find Harrow, London, not Middlesex and Staines-upon-Thames articles in this encyclopedia. Equally we do not summarise in the manner of a mid-19th century railway entrepeneur the content of the much-more populated area served by the Waterloo to Reading Line and lesser linked lines under the hitherto convenient shorthand (still adopted by some fossils running the SWT website): 'Windsor Lines'. They group them for ease of those passing through Barnes etc under this unfortunate, totally half-baked previous name. One notes to one's horror Windsor has a rival line these days and furthermore one cannot term railways as one used to. I know the subject is vexed but in no way does helping people understand the current economic purpose of various railways by terms which are currently more valid and would be used by the majority of passengers along the route if forced to describe it based on service descriptions etc, lessen the sterling history sections of railway articles. To emphasise previous names in the WP:LEAD section, particularly in flattering quotation marks is rather passé, don't you, on considered reflection, think? Further, as the Reading line is national (sometimes I believe even direct through link to the rest of the network) do you not think stopping tens of miles short of the natural destination of the railway in the WSW direction from the capital is riding on the Royal brand mark just a tad...- Adam37   Talk  10:06, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello. You rved my edit to Margaret Thatcher with the comment 'Interesting, but why remove the link to the prayer on the strength if it?'. I did not remove any link or wikilink. If you look at my two combined edits, it should be clearer:. Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace is a redirect to Prayer of Saint Francis, and since my point was trying to correct the wrong impression of authorship by St Francis, I didn't want to give it that title. How about we avoid the redirect with the following?

August 2016
Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to The Bourne Academy. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:List of people who disappeared mysteriously, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting.

Taiwanese are people who have ancestry in Taiwan. Many people in Taiwan are not Taiwanese. Most are Chinese.

Taiwan does not claim to be an independent country but the Republic of China or Republic of China on Taiwan. The People's Republic of China does not claim that Taiwan is independent. In fact, they claim they will invade the island if independence is ever declared.

The MH370 article talk page archive 2 does discuss the China issue a little and is not in disagreement with the above.

Your reversion of "suddenly" on "The Day of the Jackal" film
Hello Britmax. I am new at Wiki editing discussion customs. I trust here is the right place, etc. I do it in the spirit of friendly common-interest pursuit. Having watched the film twice last night, things are quite fresh in mind regarding it. Anyway, I disagree with the reversion. The Jackal is both portrayed and explicitly described throughout as exceptionally skilled and deadly, etc. The (tacit) idea that he would simply just 'miss' at the climax of the whole plot is misleading to readers who have not seen the film, and is inconsistent with the whole portrayal of the character. Also, the actual visuals of DeGaulle's movement in the shot is portrayed as rather sudden and an unpredictable startlement. The word "suddenly" indicates the fluke nature of the miss. This is not an unimportant point. I therefore believe it is 'needed', ie comprises a substantive improvement. So I will put it back in. I am quite open to and welcome (and would enjoy) further discussion and conversation on this small matter, or on the movie generally. We have a common interest here. Conversation on such can be a civilized and enjoyable and humanizing thing, and need not be a childish petty war, as I've unfortunately discovered it disappointingly so often is on Wiki.

Assumptions of bad faith
This commentary on reverting my revert is downright rude. Firstly, do not make assumptions about what other editors know or do not know. Secondly, pay particular attention to the "Discourse" section which discusses 'genocidal rape'. This means that the cat is not redundant. Make an effort to see what fields any given editor (i.e., myself) actually edit extensively (i.e., genocide broadly construed) before leaving very public brusque edit summaries. For someone who is experienced in one area of Wikipedia, you don't seem to have fully fathomed how these are used.

Heather Mills
I noticed you reversed some edits made recently on the Heather Mills page. The reason for contacting you is not to question them but to ask your view of the neutrality of the person who made those edits. I raised this point a while back on the talk pages (now archived) but there was no response. The poster in question is Mlot123 []. My concern is that the only edits this poster has made have been on the Heather Mills page and the edits amount to significant attempts to rewrite the character and reset the tone of the article. This is not the first time this has happened on the Heather Mills page, there was a similar pattern of edits several years ago, coincidentally at the same time that Heather Mills was complaining publicly about her Wikipedia page. Personally, I have no issue with whatever content is on the page, but I do have a problem with what I perceive to be self-interest at work. As I say, I'd be interested in your views.

 * Not specifically, but in my experience it is usually an inconsistency which comes with the territory when you have random volunteers doing the job. Britmax (talk) 19:07, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Besides those two aforementioned stations, there also is Llanvair station shown in the list of article stations which has the same opening date as the stations near to it, but was a short-lived station evidentially. That means there are now three stations that will not be allowed on the RDT, but seem to be allowed to be entered in the list of stations in the actual article. Logic says to me that if these stations are not to be allowed on the RDT, they should not be allowed on the list of stations in the article. These three stations are either valid or they are not.

From passive to active in the 2010
I change ", an idea supported by some US republican congressmen but the idea has not been acted upon." to. Some US Republican congressmen supported this idea but never acted upon it." I changed it from passive to active, capitalized Republican, & changed it so it does not end in a preposition. This is indeed better grammar. Please tell me how it changes the meaning of the sentence. Peaceray (talk) 23:31, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I did clarify the sentence. The original statement was vague & maybe I didn't read it right initially, but the solution was more finely crafted editing rather than reverting to the previous grammatical mess.

Karl Pilkington and television field in infobox
The television field is supported according to template:infobox person. It says "television	Television programmes presented by or closely associated with the subject." Perhaps it is not showing up on your browser, but it's fine on mine. The two programs listed are strongly associated with Pilkington. If the infobox were for comedian, it would be different as that does not have the television field, but he's using infobox person. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 16:04, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Simon Nicol: Your reversion of my edit
Thanks for your message. I don't wish to do battle over this, but by way of explanation: originally I changed "GP" to "medical doctor" to make the sentence more understandable and reader-friendly. Some readers may not know what a GP is. In my humble opinion, we needn't require the reader to follow a link to decipher an acronym and then bounce back to the Nicol article to continue reading.

Wareham
You today deleted an article regarding the new train service to Swanage. The reason why I deleted the sentence because it was in the past tense referring to plans made several years ago to introduce a passenger service. A summer passenger train service has now been introduced which has been very widely publicized used by thousands of passengers including myself...! Therefore I cannot understand why you have refused my edit as you need a source for this information.Steamybrian2 (talk) 22:33, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I did not "delete an article". Removing a section from an article as though the events in it did not happen and only describing the new status in an edit summary is not good enough. The change must be sourced in the article, and the previous status partly included as a previous status that was superseded by the current arrangements. Otherwise periods in the history of events are left out of the record. Because something is not the case now does not mean that it did not happen. Britmax (talk) 10:57, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Michael Eavis
Just here to discuss your removal of England from his place of birth. Usually the country of birth is included (including the country of birth within the UK). He is classified as English in the introduction so it simply makes sense to include it in the infobox. It doesn't make the section overly long or hard to read. I literally see no reason not to include it. It only adds to the article, it in no way subtracts or states anything false. Here are some of the many examples where it is the norm to include the country of birth in the infobox that corresponds to the persons nationality: William Blake, Francis Bacon, Charli XCX, Jacqui Abbott, Aled Jones, Katherine Jenkins, Calvin Harris.

Unusual revert
Hi Britmax, last night my time you reverted one of my edits to the AlphaTauri article, with the summary "Reverted unexplained change. Edit summary please." I found this a bit unusual: I had given an edit summary ("Corrections"), which I understand is very brief, but this was not a controversial edit by any means and should have been understood by most editors of this article. The table in its prior state was incorrect and only minor changes were required to correct it, and in my opinion this does not require a detailed edit summary. I don't see what was achieved and it resulted in incorrect information remaining in the table overnight when the correct information was very easily verified by visiting the 2021 or combined AT01/AT02 articles (which were both linked in the table). Summaries alone are not grounds to revert edits, and edit summaries are not compulsory. I'm not aiming to challenge you or start any sort of argument, but I would like to let you know that I don't believe reverting this edit was a productive step to take. Thanks, 5225C (talk • contributions) 23:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

SL/1 was 1961, Windscale and Kyshtym were earlier in 1957. The criteria for inclusion at Wikipedia is verifiability; these disasters' articles are already supported by citations.

Ghislaine Maxwell is no longer a socialite - she is now an inmate
Ghislaine Maxwell is no longer a socialite - she is now an inmate

"Britmax", you keep reverting "former" socialite. Ghislaine is now an inmate, not a socialite. She does not get invited anywhere. You need to include links to where she is being invited to social events. She doesn't get any invitations. She is a pariah. Nobody will touch her. So, Britmax, start including links if you want to delete "former" socialite. No doubt, you consider Jeffrey Epstein to be "an American socialite" - even though he is dead and was a total pariah for being a pedophile. Ghislaine Maxwell is also a complete pariah for being accused of organising Epstein pedophilia. I am curious why you don't like anything negative said about these people. Friends? You one yourself???Betathetapi545 (talk) 18:16, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I do not care whether what is said is positive or not, but if you want to make changes they need to be cited.

In the second sentence, I did not change a sourced direct quote: the phrase "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" is usually presented (in both German and English) with quotes to distance the reader, as it needs to be critically understood as Nazi Germany's so-called "Final Solution".

 * If you change a quote, it is beholden on you to explain why, at least with an edit summary. It is not up to you to change the words of others, even in the slightest way, without an explanation. If you do so, I will remove the change until you do. "This didn't change the important critique one bit, except to make it more effective." This means "it didn't changes the quote, except where it did". Britmax (talk) 11:42, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Sad that you wrote that, having not seen (?) and read my clear edit summaries. And confusing. These two quotes say essentially the same thing (1) "The inexpensive brown rotten bananas could not be eaten according to her." (2) "[Her opinion was that] the ... rotten bananas could not be eaten." Seems like you just don't want to understand what I mean and have meant all along. In any case, we're doing this here now, not on your talk page. I'm sorry I came here with it. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 12:08, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * You have now repeatedly accused me of not explaining a change I made in an edit summary. On this page and again here. I never do that. These accusations are patently false. It is hard to find good faith in your behavior in making false accusations like that. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:16, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
