June 2018

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:31, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing

I did notice there seemed to be a bit of an edit war going on. Its only one user consistently reverting you, but they may be done for now. They posted at WP:BLP (Biographies of Living Persons Notice board) a couple of days back and was pretty much told they were wrong here and they havent posted since. However, I also noticed that this user was told in October last year not to remove sourced information or edit war on that page, and again in June this year but they came back. Re dealing with it...what is supposed to happen is what Wikipedia calls the BRD cycle. An editor BOLDly makes a change, someone disagrees and REVERTs them then they both go to the talk page and DISCUSS it, hopefully coming to a concensus of some sort. You need a good reason to remove sourced information (thats why other editors are jumping in now, you have a reference in there) and if someone objects, the editor should ALWAYS discuss, not edit war. Although your problem is more they come in, change stuff around, leave when they meet opposition, then come back again some time later, just to do it again, which is kinda irritating. If they edit there again and remove stuff, revert them (just hit the undo button, next to the thanks. That just reverts whatever edit they have made, so it wont mess up anything), stating something like "unexplained removal of sourced information, please discuss at the talk page" and perhaps leave a note on their talk page inviting them to discuss on the article's talkpage. There are various dispute resolution mechanisms you can try if you can't come to a concensus through discussion, or others if they wont talk at all, but Admins can't do much unless you can establish you have tried to communicate/resolve the problem yourself first. There is always WP:ANI (administrators noticeboard) but first thing they ask you there is "have you talked to the other user yet". I dont think its got to that stage yet though. You might want to read a few of the cases there to get an idea.

Re formatting references WP:REFB is very useful; Do you use the mobile version of Wikipedia? I've heard a lot of users say that the mobile version is a bit awkward, and its actually easier to use the desktop version, even on a mobile. (Scroll to the bottom of the page and you can change to desktop if you want to experiment). I tend to use Visual Editor, especially for references, because it pops up an easy to fill in template, but no idea how that works on a mobile. For me, navigating all the pages to find the "how to" information was hardest- if you type WP:whateveritisyouwanttodo into the searchbox, it will bring up likely suggestions of pages. It does take awhile to get the hang of, but it is fun... really! just yell out if I just managed to confuse you more or you have more questions Curdle (talk) 21:57, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
