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.

Please obtain a consensus first before doing potentially controversial edits
Hi. I have noticed that you removed/reverted some key contents in several articles without obtaining a consensus first. Please understand that consensus is required before making those edits. If you have any question, feel free to ask me or other editors. --Matt Smith (talk) 08:43, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Merger discussion for Flag of the Republic of China
An article that you have been involved in editing&mdash;Flag of the Republic of China&mdash;has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. Wrestlingring (talk) 19:03, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

ROC official titles
Your proposed changes would be better served by requesting page moves, then, as your changes don't reflect the official titles of the articles, i.e. having the lead President of Taiwan, when the article is at President of the Republic of China doesn't make sense. So the best way to remedy that would be if you so desired, to put in page moves. -- Tærkast (Discuss) 20:30, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

I am not aware of wikipedia guidelines saying that the first phrase in the lead should be the same as the article title or the official title. In many articles they are not the same. However, MOS:LEADALT says that significant alternative names for the topic should be mentioned in the article, usually in the first sentence or paragraph. It would be great if the page could be moved, but the problem is that the pre-1949 history in the page is not about Taiwan and someone will use this reason to argue against the page move. --Uaat (talk) 22:53, 15 November 2018 (UTC)


 * "Significant alternative names" Yes, you can add "more commonly known as of Taiwan after the official title. Well, I've reverted you again. One more, and we'll both be in violation of 3RR. See consensus, obtain that on the relevant talk pages before proceeding further. If this keeps up, I'll report you and we'll probably both be blocked for violating the three revert rule.-- Tærkast (Discuss) 10:34, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It has been on the talk page for over 3 months and nobody argued against the change. I cannot accept "no consensus" as a reason for reverting while nobody opposing the change is participating in discussion.--Uaat (talk) 02:14, 18 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Your mentality and justification doesn't excuse your ignorance of discussion, nor do you appear to want to actually discuss or reach a compromise. " "But my edits were right, so it wasn't edit warring" WP:3RR. One more and I will get us both blocked.-- Tærkast (Discuss) 18:03, 18 November 2018 (UTC)


 * You are focusing on false threats of violating 3RR instead of discussing about the article. How could we ever reach a consensus if you are not participating in discussion about the article? If you oppose the change, please argue against the change. Do this on the article talk page, so more editors can discuss. --Uaat (talk) 07:10, 19 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Simply not false threats (Restoring your edits continually without an edit summary counts), but your "it's my way or no way" mentality will no doubt get you blocked in the future. You have not received consensus, and most certainly will continue to violate 3RR in order to appease yourself. I will not, because I will assume the high ground, it's certainly not worth getting blocked over an issue with an editor who insists their way is the correct way, and that no prior opposition means consensus.-- Tærkast (Discuss) 18:34, 19 November 2018 (UTC)


 * I see you're back at it. This is unacceptable, your proposed changes violate the spirit and letter of MOS:LEADALT, which says "...significant alternative names for the topic should be mentioned in the article, usually in the first sentence or paragraph", but does not state it has to be at the beginning of the first sentence, indeed, as an alternate name, your titles would go after the official titles, if you do not want the pages to be moved. It further goes on to say "The title can be followed in the first line by one or two alternative names in parentheses (but see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)". You might also want to concern yourself with WP:NOCONSENSUS before you once again restore your edits without further discussion.-- Tærkast (Discuss) 19:51, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Northern Moonlight. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
