Disambiguation link notification for October 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Reactions to the Catalan independence referendum, 2017, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Express ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Reactions_to_the_Catalan_independence_referendum%2C_2017 check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Reactions_to_the_Catalan_independence_referendum%2C_2017?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

MOS ?
Hello there, What means MOS ? It sincerely doesn't seems right to me to express most numbers in numbers an 9 in letters. Yug (talk)  20:12, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Yug, MOS means the Wikipedia Manual of Style. However, the edit changing "9" to "nine" was made in error, since while numbers up through nine are typically written in words, as it says in the MOS section MOS:NUMNOTES, Comparable quantities should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently. In this case, that means that "9" was correctly rendered as a number, since the other three vote counts were all properly numbers. (They could all four have been written out in words, but the same method needed to be used for all four, and numbers were what the original editor chose.) I have changed it back to "9".

 * Thanks for this explanation. Got it ! :D Yug (talk)  14:32, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

December 2017
Please desist in your disruptive editing at In the news/Candidates. When an admin closes a discussion it should not be re-opened without first discussing the matter with them. A point which I made in my earlier note above. Let me be clear. I have closed the discussion in my capacity as an administrator and it is not to be re-opened other than by an admin. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:16, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for persistently making disruptive edits. 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:. Ad Orientem (talk) 17:04, 25 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Note: There are two possibilities here. One is that you were deliberately thumbing your nose at how we do things at ITNC and the project more broadly, (and me specifically). The second is that after almost ten years here and with well over 70,000 edits, you really don't understand that repeatedly reverting an admin close without so much as a "how do you do" is a no no. I'm not sure which is worse. In any event you have made no indication that you even understand why you were blocked much less that you regret it and won't do that sort of thing again. That coupled with your very impressive block log gives me no reason to reconsider my block or its duration. If this were to change, I might consider reducing the term of the block (though I doubt lifting it outright). -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:01, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Lihaas, if it was you who just performed this edit, and I have a very high degree of confidence that it was you or a meat puppet, Block Evasion will get you indeffed. Right now you are a micro inch from an indefinite block. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:09, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Just a view from a passing tps but I personally think the block length is excessive guven how many years it is since the last block. Block logs are not red letters and if you stay out of trouble its unfair for historical past conduct to get you treated more harshly, Spartaz Humbug! 04:42, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi . I had been considering reducing the length yesterday, but given their block evasion, I am now opposed to any reduction. Their disruptive editing has been really flagrant. I came very close to indeffing them last night. -Ad Orientem (talk) 13:55, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Agree with Spartaz. Last block was 3 years ago. I would also not call the disruption "really flagrant"; it hardly seems worse than regular edit warring. What's done is done, but I'd suggest in the future simply letting another administrator close the nomination. There are enough admins watching ITNC that odds are it would've happened in less than 24 hours. It'd have saved a block + some drama, and most people would probably have come out happy. Banedon (talk) 12:12, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Honestly, reopening an admin close (or any close) of an RfC is nothing like "regular edit warring". Seraphim System ( talk ) 13:05, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
