Edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Bichvinta. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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.
 * 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.

Please STOP edit warring-- g. balaxaZe  ✰  00:32, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

Images
Are you Marcin Konsek? Is that why you are putting the photos you took on every article you can find? Please note that we don't appreciate you labeling your images as valued and quality when it is your own, especially when the images you used are not necessarily better than the ones you replaced.

 * That is a normal thing - changing images to better ones and putting the best ones on other wiki projects. Me and others do that for years. Halavar (talk) 22:58, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Who said they are better apart from yourself? Hzh (talk) 23:01, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Better because others users gave a QI and VI status to my image. If you don't agree with me, please talk with the author of the previous image, admin from Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Poco_a_poco From what I know, he agrees with me:) --Halavar (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Right, just because you submitted your images does not mean your images are better. It is still you yourself who is saying that it is better. For example, this image, the sky is cloudy, and you have a big grey building near the center in the background, distracting the building under illustration.  Whereas the image you replaced - , the building is centered, clear and focused, with the big buildings in the background at the side and not in the main line of sight.  You replace a better image with a poorer one for illustration. Hzh (talk) 23:27, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't decide that my image is better, but someone else, who is involved in the VI project - see here: Commons:Valued image candidates/2016 Kuala Lumpur, Narodowe Muzeum Włókiennictwa.jpg There is a tradition, that when a image gets VI status, people (also aouthor/nominator) replace images in the wiki projects. If you think, that you are better expert of photography, please involve in Valued Images project. You know, you can nominate that other image and compare it with mine, and people will decide with one is better. --Halavar (talk) 00:10, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The process that can replace a better image with a poorer is flaky to say the least. I can see that your image is not better for illustration because there are other elements that are distracting from the main building under illustration. Even if an image is of better quality, it does not necessarily mean that it is better for illustration because everything get shrunk down to a small image in the article. For example, this one - could be trimmed a little at the edges to focus on the main building  because while it is better than the earlier one, it looks too small in the article because the image on display is small. I don't involved myself that much in the Commons, I usually upload images (my own or found) only because the required image is missing, or the existing image is poor.  I don't claim to be an expert in photography, but at least I know what looks right on the page.  Hzh (talk) 01:15, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
