Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited London Stadium, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Weir ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/London_Stadium check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/London_Stadium?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.)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing certain areas of the encyclopedia for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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:. Deb (talk) 18:28, 23 May 2020 (UTC) What area how long? Games of the world (talk) 18:31, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

I shown evidence of the COI and other associations on Deb's page but she decided to ignore it and came out with an outrageous comment, so I don't see how showing evidence is relevant at this point in an unblock request, when I'm intending for it to be an explanation of the situation and not a counter strike per se.

 * This in itself is a personal attack, implying bad faith on my part. Deb (talk) 07:50, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Another personal attack from Deb. Nice! Your comments to me always imply bad faith on my part. Come on Deb's you can't have it both way and you know it. The fact that you've appeared here to make that comment instead of explaining says it all. Games of the world (talk) 07:55, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Flushing Meadows–Corona Park into Grandstand (US Open). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 13:33, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

2020 24 Hours of Le Mans


Are you planning to *continue* an edit war that is currently reported at WP:AN3? This may not be advisable. To avoid sanctions, consider reverting yourself and then wait for agreement on the talk page. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 21:01, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ed considering I spent a long time trying to mediate on one of the other 2 yesterday caused by The359 and the 359 refusing to compromise whatsoever. This is not the same issue, but I will not be looking for a war. Games of the world (talk) 21:05, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Edit warring at 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans
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. 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:. Continuing to revert while a report was open. See the noticeboard. EdJohnston (talk) 21:27, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

ANI
Hi - I'm here to offer you a piece of unsolicited, but hopefully friendly, advice. Over the past few days I've noticed you commenting a lot at numerous threads at WP:ANI. I'm not here to take issue with any of the individual comments - some of them I agree with, some of them not so much, but that isn't the issue. All editors are welcome to read and comment on ANI threads - it's not an 'admins only' board - but it's unusual for a non-admin to take quite such an intense interest in it. I've seen cases before of people getting far too interested in the goings on there, repeatedly making comments which aren't helpful, trying people's patience and eventually being given the boot. I'm not saying that you're approaching that point in any way, but there are plenty of admins who monitor the noticeboard, who are able to give editors advice and also take action to prevent disruption - you might want to consider whether your time might be spend more productively on a different part of the project. I hope this doesn't come across as too critical - just wanted to give you some food for thought. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  10:50, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

WP:ANI Disruptive behaviour by DePiep
Thanks for your contribution. I enjoyed where you said, "Sandbh you really need to pick more wisely before coming here."

Re "See here for slow moving edit war." There was no edit war. I mentioned at the start of my post, "Members of WP:ELEM have recently been editing the periodic table article, as an exercise in continuous cooperative editing." The result was about 120 of edits representing improvements to the article.

Re, "Sandbh I think has a case to answer EdChem's comments in an appropriate way." I posted, "I feel EdChem’s statement has several misrepresentations and errors. I’ve asked him, at his talk page, to please address my concerns as he sees fit." I did that rather than replying at ANI, in order to prevent the walls of text phenomenon at ANI you referred to.

The main hold up with respect to the PT article is that DePiep, in breach of BRD, reverted my revert.

If that kind of behaviour is acceptable then I have no grounds for being at WP:ANI.

Your thoughts? --- Sandbh (talk) 23:12, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Safety cars
As per WP:BRD, you were reverted, so should discuss. I've started a discussion at Talk:2021 Formula One World Championship about it, do not re-add safety car information without a WP:CONSENSUS to do so. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:07, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Ron Meadows, recreation
Hi just to let you know, I'm seriously considering recreating the Ron Meadows (Mercedes Sporting Director) page as he's more in the public interest due to the presence of FIA team radios being broadcasted (such as in Saudi Arabia). Every other team's sporting director or equivalent position has a unique user page, don't see why Meadows shouldn't.
