| ] Your recent editing history at ] shows that you are currently engaged in an ]; 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 ] to work toward making a version that represents ] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See ] for how this is done.

Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.

| Now, to the crux of this post. The location field is not, in fact, misapplied. The information is located in paper form as the "WINC Collection" in "1616 THL" of the "Stewart Bell Jr. Archives". They ask you, , to "Cite As: WINC Collection, 1616 THL, Stewart Bell Jr. Archives, Handley Regional Library, Winchester, VA, USA." So, the publisher is, technically, Handley Regional Library. I am just required by them to cite it in such a way. I'm not being an asshole, I'm following their citation rules. If that puts the article in a clean up category, there's nothing I can do about that.

It is also identical to the text that was there before my edit. Nor do I think it necessary to repeat the words "Handley Regional Library" twice in one reference.

Heads up
Someone came on the live help chat and asked how to have you blocked on hi.wikipedia "because this user don't know hindi language so how he can edit hindi language wikipedia".
Just thought you should know that someone's upset with you. DS (talk) 05:33, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you. It is the same editor as Special:Contributions/Allanimationhindi (). The sock puppet investigation page is at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Wikibot Research of Reverted Edits/Archive, although the earliest account appears to be Special:Contributions/HARSH BRIJ.

Notice
Please look into GoodDay’s comments here https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:George_V#Monarch_of_the_United_Kingdom. He says “this is gonna shock the pants off of you”. I tried multiple times (about 7 times) and they simply ignore me and delete the section on their talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.227.87 (talk) 05:50, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- See Misplaced Pages:Talk page guidelines#Personal talk page cleanup for guidance. Users are free to remove most comments from their own talk page. Removal is to be taken as proof that they have read the comment. DrKay (talk) 07:48, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
I do hope the lad has found another pair of pants. GoodDay (talk) 05:53, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- In future, perhaps just explain that you've read the comment and are permitted to remove it? DrKay (talk) 07:48, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Sound advice, but I doubt the IP would've stayed away. GoodDay (talk) 12:51, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- For what it is worth I have blocked the IP for edit warring and harrassment on GoodDay's userpage. I will leave it to you to judge the severity of the shocking of the pants. HighInBC 06:42, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
Freedom of Information Application
Given that the UK allows anyone to file a Freedom of Information request, I will be filing one shortly. I intend on uploading the report to Commons and then using it as a reference on George VI’s titles. Please comment. 59.92.227.87 (talk) 11:42, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Reverts for color issues
Hello! You recently reverted three of my edits (here, here, and here) because they added a hidden category: Articles using Template:Background color with invalid colour combination. This was due to my addition of {{Party stripe}}. The transclusion of that template causes pages to be added to that category, but since there is no actual color contrast issue (there is no text over the colors) it is not an accessibility issue. I don't know how to solve this problem with the template, but there is no need to revert edits that add it. Please let me know if it's okay for me to revert you, and let me know if there is any way to prevent {{Party stripe}} from producing this erroneous error. All the best, WMSR (talk) 16:01, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- See Template talk:Current U.S. senators#Colors (again). DrKay (talk) 16:25, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- I just replied on that talk page, but suffice it to say, I do not understand how it can be a MOS:ACCESS issue when the party abbreviation is next to each name. WMSR (talk) 23:13, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Why oh why?
Howdy. I think we're going to need an RFC covering both George VI & Elizabeth II, concerning adding Head of the Commonwealth to the infoboxes.
