Please stop assuming ownership of articles as you did at Dick Turpin. Behavior such as this is regarded as disruptive and could lead to edit wars and personal attacks, and is a violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The article history shows you have an ownership issue with this page. Someone doing basic copyedit and linking to a book title etc is not a reason to revert 3x and claim BRD. If you continue this behavior I will report you. —Мандичка YO 😜 12:16, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh fuckoff. Someone made questionable changes, I reverted (as per WP:BRD), the other editor reverted back, I restored the article as it was.  Take your ownership accusations and shove them up your arse. Parrot of Doom 19:01, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

It's utter chaos over there, I've got two IPs who won't leave it alone, What side is in the wrong and what do I do now, I'm at 3 reverts and I'm not sure if they're just plain disruptive or whether they have a genuine consensus. By the way that comment above was a bit sharp, we don't want them to have a good reason get more support do we? Try not snap at them in future, it's not worth it...-- Lerd the nerd wiki defender  13:32, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * When people post nonsense on this talk page they're going to get what they deserve. I'm concerned with maintaining articles, not avoiding blocks. Parrot of Doom 13:44, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Good cos those IPs don't seem to get message, they've stopped now but I get a revert every few hourss or so.-- Lerd the nerd wiki defender  14:21, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Those IPs didn't just happen by the article at random. Parrot of Doom 14:58, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * You think they're linked to the user you had a Barney with above?-- Lerd the nerd wiki defender  15:21, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Either that or they're trouble causers who watch this page. Parrot of Doom 15:23, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Today's featured article/November 12, 2015
Hi Parrot. A summary of a Featured Article you nominated at WP:FAC will appear on the Main Page soon. It mostly follows the lead section; how does it look? - Dank (push to talk) 02:04, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd probably change "It sold for two shillings and sixpence, and in 1791 was estimated to sell about 8,000 copies annually." to read "...and in 1791 had an estimated circulation of around 8,000 copies" to avoid repetition. "Each edition contains entries which describe" to "Each edition contains entries describing".  "normally credited for originating Harris's List, named after a Covent Garden pimp" - "normally credited for originating Harris's List, which may have been named after a Covent Garden pimp".  I'd certainly try to fit " in the words of one author, it was designed for "solitary sexual enjoyment" in as it's a good way of securing a reader's attention.

 * I did the first three, and that puts us at 1146 characters. I try to stay within the 950 to 1150 range whenever I can, to avoid uneven, unmatching columns on the Main Page. - Dank (push to talk) 17:18, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
