Disambiguation link notification for August 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Torkel Knutsson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Swedish (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.

Is it possible to have automatic archives on this discussion page, please? Thanks! Chicbyaccident (talk) 18:09, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

I have added code that tells ClueBot III to archive the page and adds an archive box. See the bot's user page for additional parameters that can be set if the default settings are not to your liking. Huon (talk) 18:17, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Pythagoreanism

Why have you changed the category from Secret societies to Secret student societies? This is strange as the Pythagoreans were grown-ups and existed as a secret society for many years. Do you mean they were "students" of the long-dead Pythagoras? I think the former category was distinctly preferable. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:49, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

In logic of arguably academically inclined, but if that's your take, you might as well recategorise it? Chicbyaccident (talk) 10:52, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Will do, many thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:54, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Please consider stating a comment on the category's discussion page to you reversion as a note to any eventual further concerns? Chicbyaccident (talk) 10:59, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, good idea. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:04, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Your edits...

Your recent edits to Freemasonry involved making section moves to a GA-level article without discussion. Discuss them on talk. Your change to the Freemasonry template was also not appropriate; links are where they are because of discussion. I appreciate the fact that you would like to work on articles in the Freemasonry topic area, but you are not editing in a manner which is improving the material.

OK, thanks for the notice. Chicbyaccident (talk) 19:02, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Reference errors on 14 October

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Grand United Order of Oddfellows page, your edit caused a missing references list (help | help with group references). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:18, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Please stop...

Your edits are disruptive. Your unilateral moving of the Grand Master page is not only incorrectly capitalized, but really was not appropriate. If you are going to continue to do what you want without discussing it with other editors, you are going to have a problem. I've had to request a technical move because of your actions, and this sort of thing needs to stop. MSJapan (talk) 18:06, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Could you please specify which edit you're referring to? Chicbyaccident (talk) 18:09, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

You moved an article without discussion. That's just wrong. Misplaced Pages has guidelines about acceptable conduct which you obviously have not read. Further disruptive edits on your part will be treated as vandalism. Fiddlersmouth (talk) 23:26, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

And this where you redirected "frat" (a common abbreviation for fraternity) to a dab page for "Brother". We do not redirect to dab pages, and the move was wrong yet again. You really need to seriously stop editing and find a mentor. MSJapan (talk) 02:29, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

You also redirected "Frater" to "Brother" (where the word doesn't occur), you made a cut and paste move (contrary to GPL licensing) on IOOF Hall to make a redirect out of that page, redirected "fraternites and sororities" to simply "fraternity" (which it isn't), and redirected "fraternal order" to "fraternity" (which it isn't). I really don't want to have to comb through all your edits, but if I have to, I will. You are repointing pages inappropriately as well as editing contrary to Misplaced Pages policy. MSJapan (talk) 02:44, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry you take one or arguably two observations into account of implying a fellow Wikipedian is a vandal. Appearently, though, your opinion isn't the only one regarding Grand Master (Masonic), as the edit I proposed had other support. Nontheless, no big deal and you may have it your way - without I calling you a vandal for it. As for the IOOF Hall there was a regular merge, so not sure what you're talking about. Regarding frat, I guess you personal experience of what "frat" usually refers to may be. However, for "frater", it is a common word for "brother", from latin if you didn't know that. Again, no big deal. Thanks for your feedback. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for all your positive edits, by the way, we're making a better Misplaced Pages together!
