This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Misplaced Pages again, as you did to Algund, you will be blocked from editing. —AldeBaer (c) 22:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.
Several of your edits changed from South Tyrol to Autonomous Province of Bolzano-Bozen or Alto Adige/Südtirol, some of those in articles which link to South Tyrol in a historical context. Sorry for being a bit overeager, but what Delirium said wrt to a "spree" seemed plausible to me. —AldeBaer (c) 22:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- What about this? I'm not sure, but wasn't the region called South Tyrol rather than Alto Adige/Südtirol in that time? —AldeBaer (c) 22:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, you are indeed removing the English name for the region, "South Tyrol", and replacing it with the Italian and German names for the region. As this is the English Misplaced Pages, that's inappropriate. --Delirium 22:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
- There are two names used commonly in English for the region name. Alto Adige and South Tyrol. Refer to the solution at Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. Also, realize that the regional names overlap the provincial names. Trentino == Autonomous Province of Trento; Alto Adige/Südtirol == Autonomous Province of Bolzano-Bozen. The former is often used in a historical context, and the latter in modern references. Man, I get a lot of my work reverted and then have to spend all this time explaining the provinces in italy. :-) i hope it is worth it to you two.
- Just a suggestion: We could take this to my talk page, so as not to split the discussion. —AldeBaer (c) 22:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
