March 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to The Victorian Society has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{tell me a joke...} 12:30, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You removed the tags at the top of the page. These are there to let others know that the article must be improved in those areas. You may add information, but please don't remove the tags._{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{tell me a joke...} 18:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They might be ugly, but they do aid editors. I'm afraid there's no workaround for this. _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{tell me a joke...} 18:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't remove or change reference handling code without first gaining consensus as you did here - [1]. -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 15:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see, a link was moved from that page to another as it was more relevant there. Also content was added. My changes were then vandalised. Tony May (talk) 21:40, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of LMS locomotives as of 1947-12-31

It would be nice if you would at least explain why you keep reverting my change to the dates in List of LMS locomotives as of 1947-12-31. At least a comment on the talk page would be good behaviour. Thank you. MilborneOne (talk) 18:21, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank for the reply I have commented on the talk page. Please note I am considering proposing to move the article to the better List of LMS locomotives as of 31 December 1947 as being more sensible. But I have asked for opinions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways. Your comments are welcome. MilborneOne (talk) 18:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BR locomotive numbering

There is no single version of history and sources often disagree. If you have sources which you believe to be more reliable than mine then you are free to edit the relevant articles accordingly. Biscuittin (talk) 10:34, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Three-Revert Rule

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Edward Talbot. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez ^{Get to know me!} / _{Talk to me!}←at≈:→ 22:31, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well tell him off not me then. He's the one removing content. that is vandalism. Tony May (talk) 22:33, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have been warned. You should take this to dispute resolution if it keeps going. You jumped in after months of edits. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez ^{Get to know me!} / _{Talk to me!}←at≈:→ 22:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's this a conspiracy of vandals? Tony May (talk) 22:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen this dispute posted about on WP:AIV. I have warned the other user (Boleyn) to discontinue as he too is in violation of 3RR. Please discontinue reverting or you may face a block.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 22:41, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Usage of the Word Vandalisn

Vandalism, is the act of delibrately making uncontructive edits. Please refrain from calling other editors vandals, or accusing them of vandalism. Although it's not exactly something that gets you blocked per say, but people will look at you in a rather bad light because usage of this term, especially for edits that are clearly not vandalism very are frowned upon on Wikipedia. Edits that you don't agree with, are not vandalism, and you should discuss why you think the edits are unconstructive for Wikipedia, rather than calling other editors vandals. See this essay. Also, when editing, please remember to assume good faith, even if other editors are making edits that you do not nessesaryly agree with. When editing, please remember to keep this in mind. 山本一郎 (会話) 03:25, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on LNER Peppercorn Class A1. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.

IN case you hadn't noticed you are revert warring too! I am merely improving the article, as per our "discussion" in which you ignore all my arguments in favour of your own opinion. Tony May (talk) 07:46, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have replied on my talk page. Biscuittin (talk) 19:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edward Talbot

I've reverted the addition to the Edward Talbot page, disambig pages should link to other wiki pages. If your addition is notable, he should have his own article written first, then the link added to the disambig page. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 10:05, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You've already been used about use of the word "vandalism"; this [2] voilates WP:CIVIL which is a Bad Idea William M. Connolley (talk) 12:49, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I did not realise there was such feeling about this. I will see if I can write an article on Ted Talbot if I work out his bibliography. Thanks. Tony May (talk) 13:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request for mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/LNER Peppercorn Class A1, and indicate whether you agree or disagree to mediation. If you are unfamiliar with mediation on Wikipedia, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. Please note there is a seven-day time limit on all parties responding to the request with their agreement or disagreement to mediation. Thanks, Biscuittin (talk) 13:50, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that's fine. Let's hope we get a good mediator though. Tony May (talk) 14:14, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please add your thoughts at Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/LNER_Peppercorn_Class_A1#Additional_issues_to_be_mediated. Biscuittin (talk) 19:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for agreeing to mediation. Do you want to add any additional issues to be mediated? Biscuittin (talk) 17:07, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've put my comments at "Issues to be mediated". I think you should put yours at "Additional issues to be mediated". MacNee has put some comments there so make sure you identify yours as yours. Biscuittin (talk) 23:04, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peppercorn Class A1

Issues raised at WP:AN/I Mjroots (talk) 08:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I want to explain why I put my edits back into your Tony May/A1 page. You want this page to be part of the discussions about that topic, but if so, the comments you make should be subject to discussion. How can this discussion continue if edits to the Tony May/A1 page are not welcome? There is supposed to be discussion and I suggest that either the Tony May/A1 page is open to edits and discussion, or you should withdraw it from the discussions on A1 Peppercorn talk page.

Henry Melvin Young

Hi, I recently came across this article you'd started a while back. It was interesting to me because Young is a relative. I'll see if I can find some family photos, or such. Regards, — BillC ^talk 20:13, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
