Disambiguation link notification for July 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kakuro, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Telegraph. 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.

Fishing

HI! I removed the section, because it seems to be patently out of place and WP:UNDUE, to have a large section on Chinese Americans fishing in the mid nineteenth century, and the social problems caused, in a general overview on the history of fishing. Especially odd, as there is nothing on important stuff like the industrial revolution in fishing. Cheers.86.157.0.104 (talk) 22:50, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

I have not vandalised Victor_Ponta page. I have made an undo after vandalism and tried to protect it with {{pp-vandalism}} but it seems it is not working.— Preceding unsigned comment added by C.ciprian (talk • contribs)

@C.ciprian: Adding a protection template does not protect a page from editing. See WP:PROTECT for details. To request page protection from an administrator, see WP:RFPP. --k6ka (talk | contribs) 14:24, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

@Catlemur: Sorry, I didn't know how to protect the page (i didn't understand what has to be done). You can see there are many many edits mocking the prime minister as he is not very well seen.

@C.ciprian: I deleted the warning,as you did not intend to do harm.Cheers.

@Catlemur - Why did you delete my edits for the 'Alexis Sánchez' page? The edit I made was correct. Minor, but correct.

2003 ALC

I deleted the post-game images part of the Game 7 2003 ALCS because it seemed to be a gushing non-objective viewpoint written by a New York fan. "Vivid" really threw me off and watching the actual game, you'll see Bret Boone is most certainly not "tearing up" as the write-up tries to make it seem to draw more flattering imagery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.35.68 (talk) 21:04, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Cudgel War

Hello! Your submission of Cudgel War at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! BlueMoonset (talk) 05:07, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

• Catlemur, it turns out that there were major issues with copyvios and close paraphrasing, to the point that, once the problematic text was removed, the article was shorter than when you began expanding it. Under the circumstances, the only thing left to do is to close the nomination as unsuccessful. Please take a look at the nomination page if you want to see how you might go forward with a new nomination.

Reference titles

It doesn't matter if they are POV or not. Wikipedia procedure is clear on this issue. Original source titles are put in the references, whether we like the titles or not. Its not up to us to change the titles and we are actually not allowed to. Changing the titles can be seen as POV-pushing. I'm not accusing you or anything, just giving you a friendly advice for your future editing. Cheers! EkoGraf (talk) 18:57, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

September 2014

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Syrian Kurdish–Islamist conflict (2013–present). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 20:46, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

I need to clarify this. You can only make One revert in 24 hours unless you are reverting IPs. Not 3. Please read the top of the talk page or the edit notice that appears when you edit. Dougweller (talk) 20:51, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

As a result of a community decision, broad editing restrictions apply to all pages broadly related to the Syrian Civil War. These sanctions are described at Talk:Syrian Civil War/General sanctions and a brief summary is included below:

• Sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process.
• If you inappropriately edit pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or a topic or article ban.
• A one revert per twenty-four hours restriction applies to articles broadly related to the Syrian Civil War, with the wording listed here.
• Please familiarise yourself with the full decision at Talk:Syrian Civil War/General sanctions before making any further edits to pages related to the Syrian Civil War.
• Sanctions imposed may be appealed to the imposing administrator or at the appropriate administrators' noticeboard.

Sanctions may only be imposed after the user is notified sanctions are in effect. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

This notice is effective only if logged at Talk:Syrian civil war/General sanctions#Log of notifications.

Consider your block to be for violation of the 3RR, since you had not received this notice until now. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 21:01, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Hey Ks0stm.So you are going to completely ignore the fact that Predator2014 removed an earlier edit warring notice from his talkpage right after getting into "trouble"?At first I felt scapegoated, I do not care anymore though. Catlemur (talk) 21:26, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

I deleted old (7 July) notice and not from this article. You can check my Talk page history. I didn`t know that this is 1RR article. Predator2014 (talk • contribs) 20:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

1RR not withstanding, if you want to look at this in a base numbers sense, Predator did not violate 3RR but you did; he had three reverts in 24 hours, you had four. Beyond the base numbers I chose to block you because you had been warring over that same edit for the last few days, whereas Predator had not. If you feel I should not have blocked you by all means request an unblock, or, if you would prefer, ask me to ask for other administrators' input on ANI. Ks0stm ^{(T•C•G•E)} 21:48, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

@Ks0stm I accuse Predator of POV pushing,my input was credible and sourced.Predator removed it multiple times without a proper explanation.I also suspect Predator of being a sockpuppet of one of the following Herdel555,94.121.162.170 and or 107.77.75.63 .I demand a proper explanation why Turkish alleged involvement was removed.Catlemur (talk) 10:20, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

TOTD

Tip of the day... Please summarize your work using the Edit summary box If you make anything other than a minor edit to an article, it helps others if you fill in the edit summary. Edit summaries are visible in the page history, watchlists, and on Recent changes, so they help other users keep track of what is happening to a page. If you use section editing, the summary box is filled in with the section heading by default (in gray text), which you can follow with more detail. You also can put links to articles in the edit summary. Just put double brackets around [[the article title]] like you would normally. The summary is limited to 255 characters, so many people use common abbreviations, such as sp for correcting spelling mistakes, rm for remove, ce for copy-edit, etc. Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Edit summary

Consensus is to Help:Edit_summary#Always provide an edit summary. It's a shame you've so far shunned ESs - is there some reason why you've done so? Trafford09 (talk) 07:23, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

I am too lazy and stubborn.I know about the consensus yet I do not believe the ES is that useful. There is another way to see exactly what I contributed which makes the ES useless since it does not reveal whether I POV pushed,vandalized e.t.c.--Catlemur (talk) 10:38, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for explaining your views. Given that the Edit summary [ES] content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history,

I'm surprised you consider it 'not that useful' or indeed useless. The '[other] way to see exactly what I contributed' is I guess to open up each edit.

That's what a diligent article-watcher would have to do, in the absence of an ES.

Yes, a vandal may (but usually doesn't) go to the trouble of supplying a misleading ES, but such an editing pattern would be spotted before long, and the editor blocked. Absence of ES is a trait oft seen in vandals' edits. As such, this causes checkers to open the edits and read them - a time-consuming and unnecessary task, I'm sure you'd agree.

Now, your user page expresses an interest in stoicism. May I take it that you admire some stoic traits?

Apparently, according to the stoicism article:

• "a sage, or person of 'moral and intellectual perfection', would not suffer such [disruptive] emotions". Personally, I often almost invariably fail to achieve perfection, but I do admire those putting effort in to aim for it.
• "the best indication of an individual's philosophy is not what a person said but how that person behaved". People's behaviour gets noticed.
• "because 'virtue is sufficient for happiness', a sage was immune to misfortune." I wouldn't go that far, but do approve of virtue.

You say you're lazy, yet I don't really see that in you on WP, overall. You've had barnstars for 'tireless editing', and are a productive editor. Adopting ESs would IMHO well complement your good work here.

I am lazy only as far as I am involved in a tedious or useless task. Since you mentioned stoicism, I do believe that contributing actual content is a much better way to become a sage than ESs, talkpage tirades e.t.c. As an existentialist on the other hand I am not ready to sacrifice my authenticity for the the Crowd.--Catlemur (talk) 17:46, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Wow - your last link's deep! Well, WP's no doubt sorry you consider ESs useless. Good luck with the existentialism. I wonder if your authenticity - if viewed critically - may be regarded as a trait more befitting a loose cannon than one whose natural instinct is to collaborate. I share your dislike of tirades, not that I think I've recognised any lately. Best, Trafford09 (talk) 19:08, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. — Wyliepedia 04:49, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
