User talk:This is Paul/Archive28

May 2017
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made&#32;to Mo Ansar: you may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. ''There were some significant WP:BLP issues with the vandalism, so it really helps to record that on the IP's talk page, in terms of future policing of their activity. Thanks.'' Murph 9000  (talk) 19:23, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I do know about them, but overlooked it on this occasion. Meanwhile, we should have concerns about the username of . They reverted the ip's edits to that page, and the rest of their edits are in good faith, but one could be misled into believing this user is a Bot, particularly if they put something on their user page. This is Paul (talk) 20:17, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, no problem. Your recent contribs didn't show much anti-vandalism (which is not a criticism, we all contribute in our own ways), so I couldn't be sure if you knew about the warnings.  Yes, I've listed that username at WP:UAA.  The edits from it seem ok, but the name is an issue, probably being an undisclosed alt is an issue, and it does not leave warnings.  Thanks.   Murph 9000  (talk) 20:24, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks like they've been blocked so perhaps they'll request a name change or just start another account as they only have a few edits. I mostly tend to catch vandalism when it's something on my watchlist so I do tend to be a bit sporadic. I'll remember to add a warning next time. Cheers, This is Paul (talk) 21:31, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Cheryl
What a great idea, I'm in. Some years ago I was asked if I could take Cheryl's article to GA. I made a start and sent it to peer review, but people kept adding spurious stuff and it seemed like too much of a mammoth task to keep it tidy. Hopefully a project could help coordinate stuff like that. This is Paul (talk) 20:36, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Breaking consensus
The 2017 Finsbury attack in London has an archieved talk page, where the matter on whether 'suspected terror/terrorist' attack was discussed. Several users were involved and the consensus was reached. Suspected terror attack. --Erzan (talk) 12:47, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * You are misrepresenting what has been agreed. I also believe you are abusing multiple accounts, since your revert to the page is your first since December 2016. This is Paul (talk) 12:48, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * You are very welcome to believe whatever you like. The reasons for my very rare edits are because of a very hostile atmosphere created by seasoned users. So when I saw 'do not do this again' I thought It is bullying and made a decision to get involved. --Erzan (talk) 13:02, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, I've mentioned you here, so we'll see what the experts have to say, shall we? This is Paul (talk) 13:07, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * You have repeatedly edited my pages over several months. You either have the strange ability to be interested in the same topics as I am or you are purposefully stalking my contributions and changing them. That is harassment and bullying. Rather than engage in the talk page you contributed to the edit war and called other users for being dramatic. Despite the edit already being discussed rather maturely and peacefully. While I understand there are rules and procedures in place in Wikipedia, there is no need for passive aggressive behaviour. You should welcoming contributions and adding to a positive atmosphere, not bullying people who are not so adept at navigating Wikipedia. Erzan (talk) 13:33, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Since your edits to 2017 Finsbury Park attack are your first in six months, I wonder about who exactly is doing the stalking. Either you have an unhealthy interest in my edit history, or I just happened to run across your alternative account. Whatever the case, an SPI report is now open on you, see Sockpuppet investigations/Erzan for further details. This is Paul (talk) 13:51, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Did You See


The article Did You See has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Fails WP:NSONG, no significant evidence of notability, besides chart positions (which doesn't even establish notability itself)."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * This appears to be something recently created off the back of a redirect I created several years ago to another article, so nothing to do with me. I agree it's not notable so have reinstated the redirect. Hope that's ok. This is Paul (talk) 12:39, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Re UK General Election seat count (318 vs 317 Tories)
Hi,

I have no idea why this is causing so much hassle, over one vote. All major respected media outlets (BBC, The Guardian etc etc) have reported the result as 318 Conservative seats. The reason is just plain common sense and tradition, John Bercow was originally voted MP of Buckingham as a Conservative MP, so if he is re-elected it is recorded as a Conservative hold. I think the subtle issue about the status of his independence could be mentioned in more detail in the article text later on, but to go against all traditions and major media reports and highlight a rather unimportant fact in the summary stats, with an asterisk and footnote is just silly.

I assume some political motivation, since the Tory majority ended up so small — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.183.135.27 (talk) 00:19, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The Speaker always stands as an Independent. Betty Boothroyd certainly did, as did Michael Martin, both of who were Labour MPs before they became Speaker, so this has nothing to do with anybody's party politics. The Speaker always stands as an independent, and traditionally none of the other major political parties field candidates against them, so the position is non-partisan, and should be reflected as such in the article. You're the only one who seems to have a problem with this. I suggest it's time for you to get over yourself, or you could end up being blocked for edit warring. This is Paul (talk) 09:55, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Er...what Tory majority? This is Paul (talk) 23:04, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

August 2017
Your recent editing history at Murder of Jo Cox shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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. AusLondonder (talk) 16:46, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * , I do hope you're going to issue the same warning to, who has also reached this level and has a long history of this behaviour, because if you don't then there are serious questions to answer about your neutrality. This is Paul (talk) 16:49, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.
