Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:29, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Editing.
If you are talking about the third opinion, so why you have edited the article without any consensus of us ! And you have deleted those,purged buildings and the buildings whose ranking was incorrect without building any consensus. You just came and put your useless edits without discussing any thing.

Now you should refrain from editing the article until any consensus builts, and i will also try to build the consensus.

You have also reverted 3 edits so be careful.

If the sources are not reliable than please go ahead to all the articles related to skyscrapers on Wikipedia, and mark them as unreliable and challenge the reliability of them !!!

I am not talking about Emporis, but i am talking about CTBUH ! Would you please give me any third party source that CTBUH is not reliable ?

Talk page is meant for what ? I think it is meant for discussion.

Ignoring the result of the 3RR case?
Please clarify how this edit is acceptable given my ban on either of you reverting the article. Your edit removes 149 bytes from the article, so I'm assuming it is a revert. Please explain either (a) how you got consensus for this change, or (b) why it is not a revert. If you guys will not behave in a grown-up fashion, blocks or full protection may be needed.

 * Certainly. You will note that I have simply corrected the grammar of the relevant paragraph, flagged the facts which are under discussion (I am trying to build consensus) and moved a references. If that is seen to be a revert then I apologise unreservedly. Longwayround (talk) 20:41, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Rapid removal of all warnings and discussion from your talk page does not suggest much interest in negotiation. Do you intend to consult anyone besides yourself? Do you plan to notify a WikiProject? Or request a WP:Third opinion? EdJohnston (talk) 20:46, 11 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I proposed seeking a Third opinion on 9 December Talk:List_of_tallest_residential_buildings_in_the_world. I have been negotiating on the talk page since 1 December and moved the warning to the /Mea_culpa page to show that I had read it and that I accepted it. Would you like me to revert this edit ? Longwayround (talk) 20:56, 11 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Just to add, I sought the Third opinion yesterday . I do not doubt that I should have done so before getting involved in the edit war. Also, the reason for moving comments from Nabil rais 2008 from the talk page was (as I stated on his talk page ) that we were more likely to get consensus and a third opinion by discussing the matter at Talk:List of tallest residential buildings in the world Longwayround (talk) 21:05, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for requesting a third opinion. If an issue is important enough to debate at WP:AN3, it is probably important enough for you to keep related discussion visible on your own talk page until the issue has been resolved. Oftentimes things end up at AN3 because the involved editors refuse to have a real discussion. If you hide all posts immediately on your own talk page, it suggests you don't actually want a discussion. Since you both have some knowledge, it is puzzling why you are disagreeing so sharply. It may be that one of you is being very unreasonable but we can't tell so far. A full-length discussion in which both of you explained your positions would be educational. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 21:28, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I hadn't thought the discussion on here was helpful at all but it's in the archives and I shall be moving this discussion (eventually, once it's fizzled out) to Mea Culpa as a salutary lesson. I, too, am puzzled about the disagreement. I suspect part of it may be cultural or linguistic as some of Nabil rais 2008's edits suggest that English is not his first language. I don't think he's unreasonable and I certainly hope I'm not! Longwayround (talk) 21:34, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Copyright issue on David Coulthard
I believe you have made a serious mistake in flagging up a copyright issue on David Coulthard. As has been pointed out by me and another user on the WP F1 talk page, it is looking very likely that the page you claimed the article copied from did in fact copy the text from Wikipedia. I'm not familiar with the procedure, but it would be safe to suggest that there is no copyright violation issue with the article. QueenCake (talk) 16:31, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
