January 2020

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Elephant (disambiguation). However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
  • Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references

Thank you. - Donald Albury 19:30, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

This is proving to be an issue with this editor. It could well be a sockpuppet of Dinuka25 - what do you think. I personally don't want to get stuck in an edit war over this, so if you want to assist on this one that would be good. Dan arndt (talk) 09:12, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

@Dan arndt: I thought exactly that too. I'm a little busy these days but I was going to get around to reporting the user. If you go ahead, I'd be more than happy to assist.--Blackknight12 (talk) 10:05, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

If you restore the article and they revert I’ll also report for edit warring. Dan arndt (talk) 10:31, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

I noticed that they have reverted your change - have reported both a SPI and a 3RR investigation. Dan arndt (talk) 02:44, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@Dan arndt: Apologies for the delay but I have commented on the SPI. Thanks for making all those reports.--Blackknight12 (talk) 17:24, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Despite a 31 hour ban he is back at it again. Not certain what to do now.... Dan arndt (talk) 10:23, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
