National varieties of English[edit]
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 another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article 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 Wikipedia 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. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:25, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Thanks for making so many updates to the redirects that go to the Cousin article before removing that "Removed" anchor. It looks like the WP:Broken redirects list was only partial, and there are more (not just to a #Removed anchor) listed here: https://dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/rdcheck.py?page=Cousin . I just point this out to you since you seem to have an interest in the page. I was just going for a quick fix that appeared relevant in my edit. Anyway, thanks for the cleanup help! --2pou (talk) 02:27, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. El_C 12:09, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Removal of "three-quarter sibling" from Sibling page
[edit]Hello. I was looking for Wikipedia's explanation of sibling-cousins a.k.a. three-quarter siblings, and I couldn't find it, although I did find a mention on Wiktionary that had a link to a now-deleted section of the Sibling article. Some investigation revealed you had removed the section and reinstated the removal after it was reverted rather than discuss it as the reverter had requested.
There are two points I wish to make here.
1) Reverting a reversion without discussing it, in all but a few special cases, is considered a form of edit-warring and strongly discouraged on this site. It is discouraged because it leaves pages in the state desired by the most persistent individual editor, rather than in a state the community can agree on.
2) By removing the mention of this from the Sibling article, you created a lacuna in Wikipedia - no Wikipedia article currently describes this relationship despite its being relatively well-known (and referred to by a now-broken link on a sister project). Removing something from an article where it doesn't belong is all well and good, but if it's notable it needs to be discussed somewhere and you should check for this before removing sections of articles wholesale.
I actually agree that "three-quarter sibling" is a terrible name for this relationship, and am not sure where would be best to cover it ("Sibling" and/or "Cousin" are the obvious choices, although there may be some other relevant page of which I am unaware). However, wholesale removing a chunk of an article, leaving a hole in Wikipedia, and then ignoring a request for discussion in favour of brute-force reinstatement, is not a good solution. (I will note that had you discussed this rather than re-reverting, the concept's lack of coverage elsewhere would almost certainly have been raised.)
I would ask that you use a little more caution when improving articles. Bold edits are great (though as I said, it's worth checking for lacuna issues in the specific case of deleting large sections of articles), but if you get reverted - even for a reason that doesn't seem very valid on the surface - you need to discuss things to make sure you're not missing something.
(And for the record, I've made the mistake of ignoring an "invalid" revert reason and re-reverting myself; it's easy to do in the heat of the moment. In at least one case I was also missing something and in hindsight I should have discussed it first. Remember - there's no harm in talking.) Magic9mushroom (talk) 08:18, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Used in everyday life

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Chris Beard. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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 and 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. Cerebral726 (talk) 20:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
