Revert
Why did you revert me?  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 23:38, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

I see absolutely no reason to remove the flags. As stated in the comments they make it easier to read. Michael Lee Baker (talk) 23:41, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Can you please point to some guideline or policy?  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 23:41, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * "I like its supposed readability" is not an argument against Manual of Style (MOS). Caradhras Aiguo ( leave language ) 23:43, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. I won't touch the flags anymore, but in any case, many users are putting them back. Michael Lee Baker (talk) 00:09, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.And having the gall to edit war with an administrator,  Caradhras Aiguo ( leave language ) 23:39, 26 January 2020 (UTC)


 * The edit war being with an administrator does not make it any worse. Please refrain from implying that some users are better than others in the future. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 23:58, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Income inequality in the United States, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Quintile ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Income_inequality_in_the_United_States check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Income_inequality_in_the_United_States?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.)
