Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=607898662 your edit] to Ribbit King may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 ""s. If you have, don't worry: just [ edit the page] again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=User:A930913/BBpreload&editintro=User:A930913/BBeditintro&minor=&title=User_talk:A930913&preloadtitle=BracketBot%20–%20&section=new my operator's talk page].

Renaming articles
A few days ago, you cut the contents of a several pages and pasted them on a different article to retitle. While appreciable, this is not the way to do it. Should you come across more titling errors in the future, MOVE outlines the proper way to move a page. Sometimes, the page you need the article to be at already exists as a redirect, in these cases, you should use page to be moved here at the top of the page; this is fully explained at WP:MOR. You didn't necessarily do anything bad, but it's best to have everyone following the same guidelines for stuff like this. If you have further questions, you can poke me, and I'll try to answer them. mol uɐɯ  22:14, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Changing date styles
Deeply troubling to see your contributions filled with "DMY dates for a UK-developed game." The policy is to retain the given format unless you have a case for strong national ties. Perhaps there's one for a battle in the UK, but the developer's location is not STRONGNAT for a video game. In any case, it's a discussion to have individually on article pages and not to be enacted unilaterally. Please revert your edits. czar ♔   22:41, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I don't see how this is completely unreasonable. It uses the EngvarB template, for one thing. In fact, check the page for GoldenEye by the same developer or the pages for the Grand Theft Auto series of video games (except Advance, which was developed in the U.S.); they have at some point in their life had their date format changed from the previous MDY to DMY under MOS:DATEUNIFY. I'll admit, "DMY dates for a UK-developed game" or any variation thereof sounds a bit cocky for an edit summary, and it may be wiser to use the MOS:DATEUNIFY tag next time, but the above situations prove that I'm not the only one doing this sort of thing.

 * If the standardization is done by editors maintaining the series and there is local consensus, I wouldn't even bother. I saw this happening on pages unilaterally, without engvarB consensus. (As for GTA and Rare, it's a controversial position to claim STRONGNAT based on developer location. I know of perhaps two editors who try to maintain those articles and thus their engvarB, but it certainly isn't a widespread practice.) I'm asking that you achieve consensus in an article or topic area before systematically changing the format. And that you revert your edits in the meantime. czar ♔   01:04, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * And that you revert your edits in the meantime. So you're basically suggesting that I should go back and revert all edits of a similar nature I did on other affected pages, including those music albums I did a few weeks back? I would have thought that the game developer or musician(s)' country of origin would be reason enough for strong national ties, but apparently that doesn't seem so. MrLavisherMoot (talk) 01:49, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It's normal BRD procedure, and usually kinder to ask the original editor to revert their systematic edits than to receive a ton of "revert" notifs. I was particularly looking at the video game articles, but I'd recommend reverting all edits that don't have some kind of clear consensus already in place, yes czar ♔   02:38, 1 September 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. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
