Language/Personal Attacks

Please avoid Personal attacks in edit summaries. Edits with insults as you did on Template:UEFA Euro 2016 qualification (3rd place) have no place in Misplaced Pages. There's a disagreement - you and User:Qed237 should take this up at the relevant talk page. --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 10:37, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

September 2015

Your recent editing history at Template:UEFA Euro 2016 qualification (3rd place) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 15:54, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Deleting

Don't delete information that is correct and useful to have, like you have deleted medal info on the Croatia at the 2016 Summer Olympics. It is a fact that those listed are already guaranteed to be in the top three, so the info there is correct and makes it easier to edit/update once those competitions are over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.63.29.251 (talk) 20:42, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

You should still edit only after they actually win medals, with correct info. Soilentred (talk) 20:55, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

ArbCom 2017 election voter message

Hello, Soilentred. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process.

Windows versions

Since these articles are about all releases of the products, not just the most recent, you shouldn't say "Windows 7 or later". Also, are you going to go back and say what versions of Linux, MacOS, and Android they require? It's much better to leave it at "Windows". --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:17, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Sometimes system requirements on product pages are not correct or simply not updated, so I personally test each application before making an edit on Misplaced Pages. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do it for non-Windows operating systems so I leave that info as it is. Soilentred (talk) 14:36, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

You know you can't put WP:Original research in articles, right? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:01, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

I know. But you obviously don't know how to read. Soilentred (talk) 15:38, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
