3 revert limit
There is a "Bright Line" regarding reverting. See wp:EW, and specifically wp:3RR. While repeated reverts are allowed for vandalism, this appears to be a wp:content dispute, not vandalism, and limits you to 3 reverts in a 24 hour period. Other limits may apply. Please stop reverting these articles beyond 3RR. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 17:45, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I did need to mention you here. Good luck. Jim1138 (talk) 20:43, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Color of the SP
Samajwadi Party (SP) which is a political party of India and it's color is #66FFCC. Yaa It's flag color is red. Red color indicates Left Parties and Samajwadi Party is not left party.-- Prateek Malviya Talk 04:20, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Got it. So, the wikipage's colour for them should be changed, right? Byzantium Purple (talk) 13:28, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * No, because this is not a left party.-- Prateek Malviya Talk 06:44, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

No, I mean on this page. I've changed it, what do you think? Byzantium Purple (talk) 13:03, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I think you should discuss this matter on Samajwadi Party's talk page because I can not decide this alone.-- Prateek Malviya Talk 06:56, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism to UK EP 2014 elections
Hello, I am messaging you in regard to your recent edit to European Parliament election, 2014 (United Kingdom). You added the Greens to the opinion polling table against consensus, this has been repeatedly done by other IP editors. As a result we had to protect the page until after the election due to excessive vandalism. It is disappointing to see an approved editor engaging in vandalism. Wikipedia works on consensus, you can not make changes because you "feel" it is right, when it breaches consensus. I will add further notes to the talk page and if you persist in the vandalism we may have to consider further article protections or indeed account blocks. I don't want it to come to that. Owl In The House (talk) 08:52, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

It was not vandalism. I added the Greens because they were regularly polling above 5% and was a significant figure. Calling it vandalism is just an insult towards me. I worked hard to look at all the polls and added them in. This was not vandalism. Byzantium Purple (talk) 12:27, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
 * It is nothing personal and nothing against you. May I suggest you read WP:Vandalism, it clearly states that making an edit against consensus is considered Vandalism. There have been clear reasons and precedents outlined on the articles talk page. Someone previously tried to make this edit a few weeks ago (again against consensus and without good reason) and this lead to edit warring, hence the article was protected. You are seeking to add the Greens against consensus, nothing much has changed since then, indeed your argument of any change since this was last discussed seems to based on 2 polls. I am not going to rehash the detailed reasons on your talk page as they have already been stated and no robust challenge of any kind has been made to those arguments. There is no criteria for a party being included just because they poll above 5%, I can only think you're getting confused with our criteria for appearing in a UK parliamentary by-election box (whereby we include all parties who kept their deposits in a by-election) and that criteria bares absolutely no relevance to this election or indeed this polling table. Im sorry that you feel you "worked hard" and that it has gone to waste but this is a very good reason not go making edits that clearly breach consensus. I could say I "worked hard" having to sift through every single poll to reverse the change you made (as you'd used multiple edits I couldn't merely hit undo). In future when making a change to a format it is always wise to consult the articles talk page, especially if it is a change that has been already made and in turn reversed (as in this case). Now before you say this is something against the Greens, may I point out that we frequently have to reverse people adding UKIP to the infobox for Next United Kingdom general election when they do so against consensus. This doesn't mean that evidence can't change and that consensus can change as a result, I have stated on the talk page that we should be open to the idea of retrospectively adding the Greens depending on their actual performance when compared with the Lib Dems but until such point it is not possible to make a strong enough case to warrant their inclusion. I'm sorry if you remain dissatisfied but I have done my best to answer you and point you in the direction of why things are the way they are. Kind Regards Owl In The House (talk) 13:03, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

New Zealand election articles
Hello, since you tried to add the Green Party of England and Wales to the European Parliament election, 2014 (United Kingdom) without consensus (perhaps unknowingly) I decided to keep an eye on your edit history and I discovered the changes you had been making to the last 60 years or so of New Zealand election articles. I and Fanx have since reversed most of your edits posting a brief reason as to why in the comments box, directing you to a talk page. You then decided to undo our edits without going to a talk page. I have since undone your edits to revert the articles back to their original versions until such a change justifies a consensus. I am now opening up dialogue with you regarding this matter here, the articles may only be reverted back to your desired state if and only if and when justification and a consensus for the new version can be reached. If you revert these edits once more it will constitute an edit war, which could mean that you face sanctions from wikipedia, including having your account suspended for a pre designated time frame. I don't want that to happen, hence I am opening up dialogue with you and giving you every opportunity to abide by Wiki policy. Owl In The House (talk) 10:09, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Candidate Names
Your edits were of a good-faith nature, but unnecessary. Like Jerry Brown and Jimmy Carter, Ted Cruz uses a nickname derived from his given name (middle name Edward), which is the only name applied to him. With Chris Christie, it is even more obvious. In Jeb Bush's case, the inclusion of his full name, John Ellis Bush, with the nickname "Jeb" placed in the middle is due to the nature of that nickname. Jeb is a nickname taken from his initials, and therefore calling him Jeb is a way to call him John Ellis, and the unique nature of that nickname serves due mention.

Party colours
Thanks for your good faith contributions however the colour templates have long had consensus and is one of those ones that require a change in consensus rather than an arbitrary change by a user. Eg, the colour is different for Lib in other parts of lots of various articles. Electoral district of Adelaide is one of very many. Thanks. Timeshift (talk) 21:26, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

But what about the Australian Labor Party? Its color has been changed as well. Should that be changed back? Indeed, Labor's color is still the old one in many articles. Byzantium Purple (talk) 21:29, 27 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Reverted. Please gain consensus for such a change. Thanks. Timeshift (talk) 21:32, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Timeshift9

The Australian Labor Party's color has been changed from F00011 to DE2C34 purely based on the logo color. I merely elaborated from that. Should the ALP color be changed back to F00011 to make it consistent in logic with the other colors?

I've been polite but i'm now over the discussion. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian politics would be a good place to take this. Thanks. Timeshift (talk) 21:41, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge
--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:39, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
