User talk:Xselant

August 2022

Hello, I'm Pamzeis. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Vivien Lyra Blair, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! Pamzeis (talk) 03:09, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Draft talk:The Acolyte (TV series). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. You have been told not to edit war and have blatantly continued to do so, you may not like the WP:LDR format but it has been chosen for this draft by local consensus and you don't get to just arbitrarily decide to change it. Please revert your changes. If you do not we will have to take this further. adamstom97 (talk) 02:57, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Draft:The Acolyte (TV series) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you being blocked from editing—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—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello, I'm Denniss. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Socket AM5 have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Denniss (talk) 18:23, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Image sizes

Hi, please don't manually set image sizes (eg, "240px") in infoboxes, see MOS:IMGSIZE -- FMSky (talk) 02:20, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

If you actually read MOS:IMGSIZE, you would know that it does not entirely forbid an image size being set to 240px. There are specific reasons why they have been set to that size as many are low resolution or square images that can't be seen well without that size. Those images when set at 200px make the infobox look ugly with massive white amounts of white space. Please stop trying to engage in an edit war. There should not be no universal case that can be applied to all images. Xselant (talk) 02:37, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

"Except with very good reason, a fixed width in pixels (e.g. 17px) should not be specified. This ignores the user's base width setting, so upright=scaling factor is preferred whenever possible." --FMSky (talk) 03:13, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

I used to alter image sizes to a fixed size, but then someone pointed out that what looks right on my screen might not look right on someone else's (different screen sizes, resolutions, etc.). EddieHugh (talk) 17:05, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Liz Truss

You need to get a consensus for including the paragraph that you've added three times to Liz Truss. Was your inclusion of it in your edit with the edit summary "Fixing references" accidental? I hope so, because that's not an appropriate edit summary if it was deliberate. Either way, please remove it. WP:ONUS (an official policy): "The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." That's done via the article's talk page, once inclusion has been challenged. Thanks, EddieHugh (talk) 16:44, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
