Hello

I don't think you are coming to this article with clean hands with your self declared lib dem membership, I think it is very bad form you to remove sourced criticisism, simple because they are negative about your preferred political party.

I am going to restore the content you on mass reverted, and would ask you to reflect on if it is appropriate for you to edit the article in such a fashion.

European Parliament election, 2014 (United Kingdom)

Can you please read the talk page of this section, instead of undoing edits without making comments or showing any regard for other editors. Could you also follow Wiki policy on this please, you haven't in that: a controversial edit was boldly made without taking to talk page for consensus, edit was disputed on talk page with solid argument that hasnt been talked through. In the mean time Wiki policy is to revert edits back to "baseline" or original version of section (before controversial edit). I did this, you undid this and gave no reason why. Can you please follow Wiki policy. No hard feelings or anything but can we try and do this properly. 86.139.40.247 (talk) 09:20, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Patriotic Socialist Party

Hello, I'm Wavehunter. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Patriotic Socialist Party without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. 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. Thanks! Wavehunter (talk) 16:38, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi again, Doktorbuk. Once again I have restored the party colours and thousand separator to the text of the Patriotic Socialist Party article. I understand your opinion that the party is not notable, but not your edits removing the colours and the comma from 4,000. If you should wish to add a notability tag to the top of the article I'd certainly not dispute it. Best wishes. --Wavehunter (talk) 19:53, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Patriotic Socialist Party

Hello Doktorbuk. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Patriotic Socialist Party, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7.

Cheers Doktorbuk for removing that content from Eurovision 2015.

Ipswich (UK Parliamentary constituency)

I am at a loss as to why you keep insisting I have defied convention here. My edits in removing N/A where it was not appropriate were entirely confined to occasions where it was used wrongly when the party had stood in the previous election (my summary, N/A means party did not stand at previous election ... and that is the standard I used in my edit when I removed N/A from all other instances), and when it was used as a placeholder in majority, change, or swing fields (my summary "N/A" does not mean "don't know how, or can't be bothered, to work it out" spells this out). I think we both want the same here, but your summary, Revert changes. No explanation as to why this article has to be different from every other constituency article in using N/A, shows that you haven't really understood the changes made - all I have done is make the article conform to the standard every other constituency article aspires to reach, while your reverts move us further away from out goal. Instead of basing your decision to revert on the Difference between revisions try pulling up both versions and checking line by line, then see if you're so confident in your reverting my work. FanN | talk | 00:31, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring

After you last attempt (Ipswich) at edit-warring you were shown to be in the wrong I believe you are policing my edits in lieu of doing anything constructive yourself. Burying your head in the sand over the facts (recent UK by-elections) that clearly show the convention of requesting appointment to one of the stewardships wasn't followed by the fact that recently two MPs have failed to play the game, and were appointed to stewardships when they'd purposely made no such request. I had hoped you'd calm down some after I clarified the situation as anomalous but you don't seem to be able to let it go. Please stop being so disruptive. FanN | talk | 15:13, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 day for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at List of United Kingdom by-elections (1979–present). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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.  Timrollpickering (talk) 10:54, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Er, User:Timrollpickering, I have been CORRECTING mistakes, how can I be blocked? I am being constructive and helpful, User:Fanx is the one who should be blocked, he's putting incorrect, factually untrue content into articles? What kind of twisted logic makes me blockable, when I am right, and he is wrong? How on earth can it be right than I am blocked from editing? Utterly bonkers decision. doktorb _words^deeds 10:54, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Four reverts of substantially the same material within 24 hours is precisely what the three-revert rule is trying to stop. Who is correct and who is incorrect in a content dispute does not come within the exemptions and is irrelevant to the block. Two other users have reverted you; neither has yet exceeded the three-revert rule. Timrollpickering (talk) 11:05, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Utter rubbish, User:Timrollpickering, and you know it. I don't accept, and won't accept this block, and from the moment I am unblocked, I will do what I am RIGHT in doing - correcting the material being put without reason on that article. The content was left unchanged for YEARS until Fanx came along with his half-truths and ill-considered edits; I am simply putting back what should always be there. Not a blockable offence, editing constructively, I think you'll find. You're wrong, I am right, and that's the end of it. doktorb _words^deeds 13:08, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

That attitude suggests you'll wind up blocked again. But if you're right, try appealing this block. Timrollpickering (talk) 13:25, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

It's not an attitude when I know that I'm right. The article was FINE until Fanx came along. I removed his untruths/half-truths, and I'm the one getting the block? Where the hell is the logic in that? You aren't supposed to block ME for undoing somebody else's mistakes, you know. doktorb _words^deeds 13:34, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Your claim that you are correcting mistakes, or that this editor is inserting untruths/half-truths or anything else you happen to disagree with is entirely your POV, or is somehow offensive to your political views on the matter. In any event you really should take your argument to the talk page where it can be properly considered, and by more than just you and me. Just deleting my edits because you find them unpalatable is not typically how collaboration works in wikipedia, nor is repeatedly deleting edits you don't like "constructive". FanN | talk | 13:58, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

As I remain unfairly blocked because of a bizarre misunderstanding of the rules, I can't join in any talk page discussion. I am not offended by the political opinion you are trying to edit into the article, I am offended by the decision to pull me up on a constructive use of editing Wikipedia. You are in the wrong, and you will be defeated in this, trust me. doktorb _words^deeds 08:50, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Blocked 2

Of course it's not resolved, and archiving says more about your determination to have the last word than it does of any closure - you may have been unblocked but you still fail to understand why, and if you carry on with your attitude that you're right no matter what it is likely that you'll be blocked again for something else. All you've done in this dispute is bully and abuse me, and talked about nothing else other than "winning". You only "win" here because no-one wants to have to deal with your obnoxious behaviour. Since you're you're determined to remain uncompromising and uncooperative Wikipedia probably isn't for you is it? You should probably take up a pastime better suited to your temperament - cage fighting perhaps? I'm also offended that you try to paint me as having a political agenda in my editing - truth is apolitical, unlike censorship. FanN | talk | 12:02, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

User:Fanx - the issue appears resolved because the article (s, if we include Ipswich) appear to be just as they should be. I've been here long enough to know that Wikipedia is right for me, I bruise far too easily for cage fighting. doktorb _words^deeds 14:58, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

National Liberal

Hi, in August you kindly set up the short name and colour for the Constitutionalist (UK) to be used in election boxes. I was wondering if you could direct me to the appropriate page where I might set up similar. I am dissatisfied with the current arrangements for the National Liberal Party 1931, and would like to create additional options for the various labels used after 1947. Graemp (talk) 06:56, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

BTW, I added that info to the talkpage. I am none the wiser as to how to create new variants. Graemp (talk) 10:16, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

These templates exist as {{National Liberal Party (UK, 1931)/meta/color}} and {{National Liberal Party (UK, 1931)/meta/shortname}} and Liberal National Party (UK) already redirects to National Liberal Party (UK, 1931). My solution would be: Edit template {{National Liberal Party (UK, 1931)/meta/shortname}} to read National Liberal (for post-1947 use), and create {{Liberal National Party (UK)}} to read Liberal National. As {{ Liberal National Party (UK)/meta/color}} already redirects to {{National Liberal Party (UK, 1931)/meta/color}} no change is needed. Ignore variants such as National Liberal and Conservative or Liberal and Conservative if they were essentially the same party, or create them as outlined if they were different. All that remains is to edit pre-1947 National Liberal links to use the Liberal National Party (UK) link and all relevant templates will work correctly. FanN | talk | 14:44, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your ideas. I have created a new page National Liberal Party (UK, 1947) with relevant templates. This will allow for a description of National Liberal where applicable. I am choosing to ignore other variants as you suggest. Graemp (talk) 16:58, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Doktorbuk. You've nominated a number of political parties at Articles for Deletion recently, many if not most of which have been kept. Could I ask you to take a little more time in looking for reliable sources for these articles before nominating them in the future?
