Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Misplaced Pages. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.A.Minkowiski (talk) 14:50, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

I think it is the height of bad manners to revert a person's edits when they are MIDWAY through making those edits! You revet something made only 30 seconds earlier, and can't wait another 30 seconds till the edits are complete? (nb - I now know that there is a template code I could have added to the article to indicate I was still editing, but as a new user I can hardly be expected to know that) A valid reason for the tag removal WAS given in the edit summary: "Removing notability and references tags. Adding content with references". The article now has 5 references, before it had none. And the notability tag should never have been there. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 14:55, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

You are welcome. But you can not remove tags yourself. I have reverted your one more edit here where you didn't cite to any source. Putting more and more references are not quite enough, the sources should be independent see WP:INDEPENDENT that identify notability of subject also. See WP:Notability. If you have any further question, leave your message on my talk page. Thank you. A.Minkowiski (talk) 22:27, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

And that snide "you are welcome" is of equal bad manners. Of course I can remove tags if there is not a reason for the tags to remain there. Also, try to read the article. The content you deleted (and which I will now restore) is about a book that was linked to in the article's footnotes long before I added the new content. If you have points to make about sources or notability, why not place them in the article's talk page? Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:03, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joe Adamov, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia. 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.

Your recent editing history at Allies of World War I shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. 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.
