Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Battle of Guningtou. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:13, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Edit war

I noticed that you have been making many changes to the Pinyin on articles about Taiwan, sometimes in violation of the consensus on the respective talk pages. Furthermore, when I or others have reverted your unilateral changes, you have re-reverted them. Please, could we stop this edit war and have a discussion about what you are trying to accomplish? Phlar (talk) 22:33, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• I have added a note to you on Talk:Puzi. Phlar (talk) 23:41, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• And another note on Talk:Chinese Taipei. Phlar (talk) 03:49, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Your edits of article “Pinyin” concerning Tongyong Pinyin

You repeatedly made inappropriate unilateral changes concerning Tongyong Pinyin to the article Pinyin, e.g. here and here. Please stop this, as well as your unsubstantiated ad hominem edit comments, immediately. LiliCharlie (talk) 06:55, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LiliCharlie (talk • contribs) 23:30, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Edit warring across multiple articles

You are edit warring across multiple articles to unilaterally impose a change in the presentation of romanised chinese names in violation of the manual of style for romanisation. Please do not continue to do this without starting a discussion on the talk page. Continue to edit war will only result in a block. Blackmane (talk) 23:46, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Yiguandao

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Yiguandao. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 19:31, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

February 2016

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Pinyin. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Zanhe (talk) 23:08, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. The thread is Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:209.66.197.28 reported by User:Zanhe (Result: ). Thank you. Zanhe (talk) 18:17, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

February 2016

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  slakr 03:33, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Wuxi may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 20:24, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• You edited the articles Bopomofo and Wuxi but I found the results of your edits insufficient for Misplaced Pages, so I reverted them. If you need help next time you can leave me a message on my talk page or ask for assistance on the talk page of the article you would like to change. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 03:32, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

• Both of those edits look like good-faith efforts to me. I can see why you reverted them, but I don't see why you called them "vandalism." On Wuxi he even attempted to apply the ZH template, but gave up. Not vandalism, in my opinion. Phlar (talk) 02:48, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

National varieties of English

In a recent edit to the page Rococo, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Misplaced Pages has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Misplaced Pages articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Misplaced Pages articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. freshacconci talk to me 21:36, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

This user dosen't respect national varieties of Chinese either, as in Wuxi which is Wúxī in Mainland China, but Wúxí in Taiwan. Maybe they need better dictionaries, or more permissiveness. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 21:51, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to David has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Dcirovic (talk) 17:08, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Pronunciations and other issues

Please do not replace proper phonemic/phonetic pronunciations given using the International Phonetic Alphabet with approximate non-standards respellings based on your variety English, as you repeatedly did at Bopomofo and Kuomintang. Even if certain sources use such respelling, they have no meaning without a key, and they should not be used as such on Misplaced Pages. Please refer to WP:PRONUNCIATION for the standard practice on Misplaced Pages.

Additionally, according to WP:ENGVAR, you should not arbitrarily change the English variety used on an English Misplaced Pages article, as you did on Kuomintang. Your claim for doing that seemed to be that the Republic of China uses standard American English and not British English but whether or not that's true, it's absolutely irrelevant as far as Misplaced Pages is concerned.
