Babington Plot

Hi, welcome to Misplaced Pages. Your recent edits to the Babington Plot appear to be well written and in good faith, but if they remain unsourced they are liable to be reverted because they materially change the tenets of the article, even though it also suffers from inadequate sourcing. I would advise you to set up your source refernce statements early/soon, then it will not attract attention like this. Good luck, welcome and thanks.

January 2015

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Marie Antoinette. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. NebY (talk) 17:20, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Marie Antoinette

Aubmn, you left a message on my talk page saying that you "reverted part of his work then I took most of his contributions into account" and "a lot of his ideas were taken into consideration". Have you read Misplaced Pages:Ownership of articles? Your phrasing, on my talk page and in your edit comments, suggest that you have not and that you think you can be the judge of what is and is not included in the article. That isn't so. If you wish to defend your many additions to the article, then you need to discuss them on the article talk page and reach consensus, not simply revert changes. You will not reach consensus by posting messages on other editors talk pages like the one you posted on mine (" it seems you have a problem.... you are here making problems.... it is you who are making problems") or by claiming to have a PHD or by claiming to have other sources when you do not use them. That's not how the process of developing Misplaced Pages works. NebY (talk) 19:21, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

As per the talk page on this article, I recommend you take a break of 24 hours. If you continue to revert edits, then you will continue to break the 3-Revert-Rule. That can lead to a block being put in place. I understand your edits are in good faith. Thanks, SamWilson989 (talk) 00:44, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Ok Thanks.

Just thought I'd also give you a few pointers. After you add a comment to any talk page, whether for an article or for a user, sign your posts using 4 '~'s, as shown at the bottom of the editor. To reply to someone on a talk page, it is also customary to use colons, as I have done on here and you can see in the source, to indent the text over. This just makes it clear who you are responding to. Finally, when adding hidden comments to articles, just read WP:Hidden. I think that article should help you on Marie Antoinette. Thanks, SamWilson989 (talk) 00:53, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Aubmn, please be aware I have asked for dispute resolution over Marie Antoinette. Thanks, SamWilson989 (talk) 00:16, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marie Antoinette, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Breteuil (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

RE: List of equipment of the Russian Ground Forces edits

You need to provide the sources used in those articles when you change the numbers here and/or provide additional information about a piece of equipment, otherwise they'll still be using the sources for the previous set of numbers and thus the new ones will be uncited. As well as that, you can't use Misplaced Pages itself as the source, it has to be whatever sources the Misplaced Pages article itself is using.– Nohomers48 (talk • contribs) 22:06, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

I replied on the talk page.UBER 22:11, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Three quick points in response

Re your message on my talk page:

1. I warned you because you needed to stop editing while logged out and edit-warring.
2. When your edit's reverted, it's your responsibility to open a discussion on the talk page.
3. Deleting material from another page to prove that "your" page is not too large is strikingly WP:POINTY. NebY (talk) 08:45, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
