I'm not convinced by all the see alsos you are adding. WP:SEEALSO does mention peripheral relevancy, but I think some go too far. Please discuss these on the relevant talk pages. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 10:08, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've replied on my talk page and posted my reasons for removing them at the talk pages of 3 articles Talk:Republic of Texas (group), Talk:Rainbow Farm and Talk:Montana Freemen. Dougweller (talk) 12:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Pennsylvania State Police 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 my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Malvern, Pennsylvania, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Japanese and Seminal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Information icon Hello, I'm SummerPhDv2.0. 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 to Roger Christie seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SummerPhDv2.0 13:46, 12 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

In general, per WP:BRD, when you boldly add material and your addition is reverted, it is time to discuss the issue, not restore the material because you feel it belongs there. - SummerPhDv2.0 14:21, 12 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Hello! I only re-edited the one bit, for the reasons I disclosed in the re-edit info. The other ones you reverted I left as is, though I think that according to WP:BRD you went too far— "Revert an edit if it is not an improvement, and it cannot be immediately fixed by refinement. Consider reverting only when necessary." Had you refined by changing them to simply the (less accurate) vernacular "War on Drugs" rather than removing the links, then we would be in agreement. But as it is, all of those articles are related to the "War on Drugs" and therefore should link to the article. Kaecyy (talk) 14:36, 12 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
I have responded to your comment on my talk page, under "World Civil Class & Race War on a Selection of Drug Users". I have requested a citation demonstrating that, in context, the "war" is relevant. - SummerPhDv2.0 21:58, 12 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
