Really it should be in today's current events rather than Thursday's as the result was announced in the early hours of this morning, but I suppose there's an argument which says he had won from the moment the polls closed. Paul MacDermott (talk) 18:01, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

In a recent edit to the page Fifty Shades of Grey, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. — JonC ॐ 16:20, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at United States foreign aid shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Escape Orbit (Talk) 14:08, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

You have deleted relevant material from Teen Witch that is supported under Manual of Style/Film Box office: "Determine a consensus from objective (retrospective if possible) sources about how a film performed and why."  The factual item in question displays box office competition and is one of many possible reasons why the film flopped at the box office, but is still popular 24 years after its release.

Your second deletion cites Coatrack which is an essay not a guideline. "Essays may represent widespread norms or minority viewpoints. Consider these views with discretion. Essays are not Wikipedia policies or guidelines." Your first uncited deletion was subjective with the comment "remove irrelevant box office item, extra lines".

Your edits are unhelpful, please stop.009o9 (talk) 14:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Sir, Dame and Sheikh
Hi there,

Sorry, I don't get it what bothers you in the Sir, Dame and Sheikh titles. For me it's apparent that it differs from Mr as 'sheikh' is a title granted to a person by the sovereign (at least in the Middle Eastern monarchies in question, where some of their leaders hold that title), and 'Sir' is the style that signifies that the person was elevated to a knighthood. While on the other hand Mr is not a title, just a form of address. So could you please elaborate what confusion you think this causes? ZBukov (talk) 17:16, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, "Mr." is not the strongest example. But what about my other presented case of "Dr."? Not to mention "Atty", "Rev.", or a slew of other titles that are earned by the person in question?
 * Also, 'Sheikh' isn't always a title granted to a person from a sovereign. The word can also denote a scholar of Islam, as well as a person's actual name, as in the case of Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina - hence my reasoning for the title being confusing to some. Farolif (talk) 17:30, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Reverend is not a title either, just a style (form of address). The sheikhs in question apparently hold this title as members of ruling families. But even if they gained their title by virtue of being scholars, this is just no confusion, as they are prime minister or emir nevertheless. The fact that there is a Liberian politician called Prince Johnson (Prince being his given name) doesn't change the fact that there are people who bear the royal title of prince. So still this seems to be no reason to delete valid information from Wikipedia. ZBukov (talk) 19:36, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Nor is there any reason to impose this information on the various articles about state leaders (this one and this one, at current count). Which brings up my alternate point from my first edits to this effect that the titles are unnecessary in the context of these pages. Valid or not, the trivia seems to serve no real purpose, since the persons are "prime minister or emir nevertheless".
 * (BTW - Reverend is a title. The WP article even acknowledges it as such based on some sources. And why do you continue to ignore my example of the title of "Dr."?) Farolif (talk) 22:19, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * And in response to your comments in the latest edit summaries, I can just as easily advise you to create a whole new article about formal stylings and titles for current state leaders - including the various UN protocols. Farolif (talk) 23:03, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Edit warring at List of current state leaders by date of assumption of office
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 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 appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. 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. The full report of this case is at WP:AN3.

Source of spending data for the table at Federal taxation and spending by state
Hi. Last november you updated the tables at Federal taxation and spending by state. Thanks for doing that. I'm having difficulty verifying the values in the spending column from the source for that column, http://www.transparency.gov/state-summary-tabular?tab=By+Location&tabletype=statesummary. Did you have another source or has the format changed since November? I'm going to solve the issue by updating to the most current year, but that source now only shows trillions in one decimal place accuracy and your changes included updating the column to display whole millions and I'd rather not lose accuracy by using one decimal trillions for both columns. Thanks, Celestra (talk) 21:41, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * It looks like the source's methodology for calculating the per state spending data had changed. I've updated the tables accordingly. Farolif (talk) 08:01, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

by-elections
Sorry, but I think you'll find by-elections do come under the remit of Current events. We have a long-standing consensus of covering them here, in whichever country they happen to take place, and yesterday's was probably more notable than most because of the outcome. This is Paul (talk) 19:36, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * You clearly know nothing about UK politics or the events that are notable in that country, and seem to be just being disruptive for the sake of it. Please stop removing content from pages because you don't personally like it. There has been consensus to include these events for as long as I can remember, and if you don't agree with that you need to discuss it at the appropriate venue. I would also draw your attention to the three revert rule as someone else restored the content, which you promptly removed again. This is Paul (talk) 23:50, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * And what is the venue where this consensus which you speak of was reached? Farolif (talk) 00:16, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * You're certainly demonstrating a degree of ineptitude. I found several international sources (Washington Post, New Zealand Herald, The Australian, etc) mentioning this topic within a couple of minutes. You obviously didn't look. This is Paul (talk) 00:31, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure Commonwealth Realms are still sufficiently attached to the UK to report on political ongoings in the motherland. As for Washington Post, the story is found on their world portal parked behind the headline about dozens of people dying from toxic poisoning during Eid celebrations in Pakistan. Yet there is no attempt to mention that story on the Current Events page, is there? Farolif (talk) 00:45, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Well fix it then! Mjroots (talk) 21:03, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * You're clearly editing in bad faith and will continue to find excuses to remove the information whatever references are provided, so I'm not going to argue with you any more. This is Paul (talk) 01:17, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * FYI, I've reinstated the Rochester and Strood by-election, 2014 to the current events page for today. Per above discussion, you are hereby cautioned that should you remove it again, I will see this as a breach of WP:3RR and/or WP:DE and act accordingly. If you really object to its appearance there, the talk page is there to be used. Mjroots (talk) 20:59, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The talk page has already been used for this purpose not long ago: Portal talk:Current events/Archive 8. Farolif (talk) 22:47, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that link. I agree with you that not all by-elections are notable enough to appear on the current events page. However, both Clacton and Rochester & Strood are. Future by-elections will need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Mjroots (talk) 17:09, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with Mjroots on this. Although by-elections seem to have been included in the past, I'm not sure all of them are notable enough to appear. The last two were, however, and received significant international coverage as demonstrated. Now to another issue, what is your reason for objecting to the inclusion of details of the Victoria state election, other than which countries happen to be reporting it? This is Paul (talk) 13:52, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * What is your justification for adding the Victorian election details, other than which countries (more pointedly, which select publications) happen to be reporting it? Farolif (talk) 17:30, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * And what is your justification for removing it, other than your own personal objection, which once again is what this seems to be about. What are these "select publications" you mention? What makes them select in your opinion? Your behaviour over the previous issue demonstrated that despite your argument, the number of international sources provided was irrelevant as you were apparently objecting for objection's sake. If you disagree with the inclusion of a piece of information then you need to discuss it on the Portal's talk page rather than edit warring with others. This is Paul (talk) 17:45, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Justification for removing it - how about the fact it is a state election, not a national election? These aren't even listed in the Current Events sidebar. As for publications outside the UK & Australia covering this story - why would an informed reader be surprised that Bloomberg pays attention to the politics of a country with a widely-traded currency? The article you cited in an effort to prove US coverage of the Victoria election mainly focuses on what the election says about Abbott's government and particularly its budget policies. I'm sure investors and speculators - which Bloomberg and publications like it cater to - would find the analysis interesting, but not the typical Wikipedia reader. Farolif (talk) 18:37, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * In which case, we can expect this to be covered by the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, maybe it'll even get a mention on CNBC? An item doesn't have to appear in the sidebar to be included on that page, and Wikipedia is not about winning. I've no doubt that if/when this appears in other US publications, you'll still find some reason to object. I really don't know what your game is, but life is too short to argue. This is Paul (talk) 19:14, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * If the story doesn't get buried on those other news sources like it is on Bloomberg's site, then we can discuss the importance of the Victorian election to readers outside of Australia and the UK. My point about the sidebar was that the function is generally reserved for nationwide elections, which Victoria is not. In the meantime, I cannot help but notice the hypocrisy of your trumpeting the "not about winning" aspect of Wikipedia while at the same time on the Current Events page. Farolif (talk) 21:48, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Winning had nothing to do with it. While the sidebar mentions the event at the moment, it will be updated, and anyone coming back to the page in a few weeks/months from now would not find it. This is Paul (talk) 22:19, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * If the user is looking for past elections, then they can always link to this article from the Current Events election sidebar: National electoral calendar 2014. Even after the sidebar heading gets updated for 2015, the user will still be able to search for previous years' elections by using the templates in the appropriate article. Hope that eases your concerns some. Farolif (talk) 22:43, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * So why mention the Uruguayan election? Because it's not in the sidebar? Under that theory we wouldn't have mentioned the US mid-term elections because they were in the sidebar. 'Tis a strange logic you have there, and perhaps a good reason to take up the RFC advice. This is Paul (talk) 00:06, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Besides the fact that they were national elections, the U.S. mid-term elections saw a fundamental change in the party composition of the federal government, had obvious international significance, and made top news in many countries. Other than that, I can't help but notice that you are now ignoring the issue about the Victoria election after I raised the point that it was not a major story even in the US-based Bloomberg publication. Smoke & mirrors much? Farolif (talk) 02:23, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Moldovan election

 * You have been removing reference to the Moldovan election on the article for 30 November 2014 because it is on the sidebar. My view which is consistent with current and past practice is that national elections are inherently notable and worth mentioning in articles on current affairs. The list on the sidebar is an aide-memoire for editors who wish to refer readers to the detailed article for more information. Please do not remove reference on this page until you have left a message on the article talk page. Capitalistroadster (talk) 01:06, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It's fine to use the sidebar as an aid to remind editors to post the results, but a simple notification that the elections are taking place is redundant and unneeded. Farolif (talk) 02:25, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Chamber of Deputies (Mexico)
No more reverts or I will block you next time. It is clear you not understand what you are doing. Claiming you do, but showing no proof is not understanding. For the last time:
 * 1) It is doing nothing.
 * 2) One CANNOT have template programming in articles.
 * 3) Whatever you think you are doing, it DOES NOT go into that infobox variable.

I have repeatedly stated why and given links. You have done nothing but revert and say nothing of any substance. I have been saying why along, you MUST discuss, which is something you have failed to do. BRD says for you NOT to revert, but discuss. Bgwhite (talk) 01:31, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The only link you have given is the WP:CHECKWIKI code error #34 which simply reads: "A template programming element, such as, #if or #switch, was found. They are usually not needed or a regular template can be substituted instead."


 * "usually" is not the same as CANNOT. This is an instance where a code is a hands-off means for the infobox to automatically indicate whether there are any current vacancies in the legislative body. It is not doing "nothing", as you continually insist otherwise. As far as I'm concerned, it is you who have done nothing but revert without any substantial explanations.

Edit warring on House of Lords
Hi I would very much appreciate it if you would stop trying to impose your opinion by making subtile changes with comments that do not reflect the source. It is tedious and unnecessary. Domdeparis (talk) 12:59, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * And I would very much appreciate it if you tried being an editor and stopped behaving like a bot. Farolif (talk) 13:04, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The watchlist is there for that, when someone obstinately tries to impose his opinions that are not supported by the sources it's useful to be able to see the changes that he is doing, and you were caught out again doing edit warring. It seems to be something you are quite familiar with if one can judge by your talk page...Domdeparis (talk) 13:32, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * And if you spent as much time assessing the proposed changes rather than their contributors' backgrounds, we might have avoided a great deal of this strife in the first place. Farolif (talk) 14:05, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Edit warring
Your recent editing history at List of living actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood 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.

Second account
Is also you? Or is it an attempt at impersonation?-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:07, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It's an impersonation. Probably the same individual who was recently disputing the edits on List of living actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Farolif (talk) 22:25, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Strange IP reverter
Can you confirm that these two are making factually inaccurate edits? 49 was blocked for a strange pattern of reverts, so now 106 is doing the same thing but without edit summaries. I've asked them to start communicating when reverting, but my hopes aren't high. —Guanaco 10:03, 23 June 2017 (UTC)




 * It's all disruptive editing. I was the one who reported 49 earlier this week, but the only result was the IP getting blocked for 36 hours. The person has already moved on to other locations with the same articles as their targets. Farolif (talk) 17:16, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Your removal of Maksym Shapoval
I've reverted your removal of Maksym Shapoval from the recent death list. Your rationale was that his article was created after death. I don't think it's a sufficient reason to remove a valid entry from the list, especially considering the media attention and political controversy surrounding it:. --BorgQueen (talk) 08:13, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Sorry but...
WP:JDLI isn't a valid reason for the removal of the Chris Christie thing. The story has been featured in multiple reliable references and is tied to an ongoing event in New Jersey. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:14, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
 * No laws have been violated. Most readers are familiar with Christie's name only because of his previous presidential ambitions. I believe the common term for this kind of headline is 'clickbait'. Farolif (talk) 06:14, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Edit warring at People's Representative Council
See the result of a complaint at the noticeboard. Though no blocks have been issued, this seems to be a case of slow edit warring. If this continues with no use of the talk page, admins may have to intervene. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 00:43, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

September 2018
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. —C.Fred (talk) 03:01, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of military veterans in British politics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Royal Irish Regiment ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_military_veterans_in_British_politics check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_military_veterans_in_British_politics?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Sidebar
Your recent editing history at Portal:Current events/Sidebar shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

It's a safe bet that if you were to look beyond your own agenda regarding the Sidebar (& probably elsewhere on WP, too), then you would notice the recent deaths which are added by myself and other editors aren't all from a single cultural/ethnic group.

Template:Recent deaths item
Hi Farolif, I've created this new template that may come in handy when updating the Recent deaths section in future. Through it, you can simply substitute the template wrapped around a name (linked or not) and it will automatically fetch the date from Wikidata. If their Wikidata hasn't been updated yet, if the exact date is unknown or the name has not died, it will return "?" in place of the date (which can be previewed in advance). &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 02:15, 8 March 2022 (UTC)


 * , I was just wondering if you had any feedback or encountered any issues with this template? &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 00:55, 12 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I have not given it a try yet, and I feel like the way it works is a bit backwards for the Sidebar or a similar list. If I'm understanding its intended function, then applying this template will cause a date to automatically change whenever the Wikidata item is updated? This might cause more confusion than anything else, because it would make a date suddenly show as out of order from others in the original edit, until the list is corrected after the fact. So, whether you use this template or not, it's very likely there will still need to be a revision to the list whenever a DoD changes. (What issue were you hoping to resolve by coming up with this template?) Farolif (talk) 04:30, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for not being clear, it won't automatically change whenever a Wikidata item is updated as the template is intended to be substituted, not transcluded. The output when substituted will be entirely "clean" and look exactly the same in wikitext as other entries that have not been included using the template. I wasn't really hoping to "resolve" anything exactly, it's just a convenience template that fetches information about an item that you would otherwise have to copy and paste.

Please refrain from hijacking pages as you did with Kevin Cooney. Should you believe the subject you were writing about deserves an article, please use the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version that you can then get feedback on. Also see Wikipedia's disambiguation guideline which indicates how to handle separate subjects with similar names. If you continue to hijack an existing article, you may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 22:43, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kevin Cooney (actor)


The article Kevin Cooney (actor) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Mccapra (talk) 23:13, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Please stop changing proper en dashes to minus characters
In this edit and many others, you changed proper en dash characters to minus characters. Please do not do that.

Also, resize can't wrap multi-line content. In general, sidebar and navbox text is the right size; leave it as it is. This edit, for example, changing the text size to 99%, appears to be useless. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:28, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * copied from User talk:Jonesey95 per WP:TALKFORK. Regarding your hasty reverts of my recent work and your message on my talk page:"resize can't wrap multi-line content. In general, sidebar and navbox text is the right size; leave it as it is., for example, changing the text size to 99%, appears to be useless."


 * The example you refer to isn't useless. It helps the title Abyssinian–Persian wars fit into a single line of the width-restricted campaignbox, instead of wrapping awkwardly to two lines, which the other campaignboxes are back to doing now that you've undone my edits on them. (Also, a template's title is not multi-line content!) Farolif (talk) 05:48, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Different web browsers display text at different sizes, and some editors and readers change the default font and font size, which can cause wrapping. Unfortunately, just because text wraps or doesn't wrap for you, that doesn't mean that it wraps or doesn't wrap for someone else. You can't fix everyone's display by resizing text from 100% to 99% or 97%; it just introduces unnecessary inconsistency. Please refrain from this resizing and from changing dashes to minus characters. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:30, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Kevin Cooney (actor) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Kevin Cooney (actor), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Alice Parker
You have removed Alice Parker's name from the sidebar of recent deaths at Portal:Current events twice now - may I ask why? She is an extremely important figure in American choral music. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 22:51, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Kevin Cooney (actor)


Hello, Farolif. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Kevin Cooney".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 08:37, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Nowraps
Hello Farolif. Regarding this edit, the line you added the nobr to cannot wrap if the one below it is nowrapped – as both are in the same cell, the cell is fixed to the width of the longer line, so the shorter one would never wrap. Cheers, Number   5  7  21:44, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The lines are close enough in size that, depending on the device & browser which is used, either of them can seem the longer of the two. When I viewed your version on a mobile screen, the top line still wrapped into a second line. Farolif (talk) 21:57, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, weird. No worries then. Cheers, Number   5  7  22:03, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to assume bad faith when dealing with other editors, as you did at European People's Party Group, you may be blocked from editing. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 06:52, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Eötvös works
I don't understand your tag for the works by a composer. For prolific people - such as Mozart - we split, but for Eötvös, I don't think that's needed. Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:05, 25 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I wasn't suggesting for the article to be split. Farolif (talk) 15:41, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I saw that but the detail is just normal for works, - compare other composers, Aribert Reimann for example. It's the end of the article, - people reading there will know what to expect. It's clearly structured by subheaders to not be a mass of information. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The list of works on Reimann's article is a good model to use for this – it focuses on his major compositions and is nowhere near as exhaustive as Eötvös' current list. Farolif (talk) 21:15, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * (Do you know that blank lines confuse the editor dealing with indenting?) I have no idea if the list is even exhaustive. Bach's is, and if you want fewer works in the bio, I'll have the exhaustive list split, for those who are interested. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:40, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

how about a citation re your edit to Île Amsterdam
"It is the northernmost volcanic island within the Antarctic Plate." The article does not mention tectonics anywhere else and it is unclear to most readers for that matter why in lead as a significant fact when such more logically dealt with in a geology subsection of geography. Is it the postulated hot spot or relatively near by triple junction that is relevant to it being a volcano ? ChaseKiwi (talk) 01:54, 29 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I specified the citation for the added item. Farolif (talk) 02:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Ta, that helped me tidy up page and create geology section. Much appreciated as when I last visited page in Nov 23 I had missed the July 2023 publication that tidies up the island's formation and that the pre-existing volcano reference had just copied GVP entry so that allowed an original source change.
