Leaders in Wins

My bad! I was not aware of your previous edit, and I thought that Wakefield had two wins. My mistake! Thanks! Clay4president2 (talk) 04:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Major League Baseball leaders in career wins

I switched the article to 4 columns as I thought under the 3-column set-up the columns were too long. List of top 300 Major League Baseball home run hitters went to 4 columns as well. You switched back for no good reason. It appears you have made this page your own personal property. I am not going to enter into an edit war, so you can keep your 3 columns...why not switch to 2 or even just one? I am sure that would look great.Juve2000 (talk) 21:18, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Help Survey

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

List of Major League Baseball leaders in career wins - Round 2

I'm not certain if you did not read my reasoning, or chose to ignore it for spliting the 3 tables into 4. Readability is important to Wikipedia and its users, and increases the likelihood that they will regularly use Wikipedia for information and even make meaningful contributions to it. The split to 4 tables makes use of the unused width of the page, shortening the length, which means a user will use less time locating the information they are looking for. WP:SPLITLIST applies mostly to splitting a table into a separate page, but the second-last sentence applies to this situation - "Regardless, a list or table should be kept as short as is feasible for its purpose and scope".

This list has 500 names on it, so obviously its scope is large, and therefore should be split as needed to maintain readability. Though reverting the split would not qualify as vandalism, it does constitute disruptive editing, and additional reverts would lead to edit warring, which I do not want. No one editor owns a page, and "if you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here". Trut-h-urts man (talk) 04:08, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of Major League Baseball leaders in career wins entry criteria

You may not have been aware, but a consensus was formed at Talk:List_of_Major_League_Baseball_leaders_in_career_wins#List_entry_criteria to limit the list to 200-game winners. Please discuss on the article talk page if you wish to change consensus. Reverting edits is discouraged when there is a disagreement. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 16:05, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

August 2012

Your recent editing history at List of Major League Baseball leaders in career wins shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Please discuss on the article talk page your concerns with the use of "Grover Cleveland Alexander" instead of persistently reverting others changes. Also in this article, I ask again that you discuss the topic of the list's entry criteria in lieu of reverting. Thanks. —Bagumba (talk) 20:21, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why the revert?

Would you care to explain this unconstructive revert. The only explanation I see is that you are just going to undo any edit to the page not made by you. AutomaticStrikeout 23:52, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I understand you are upset about the major changes to the page. Of course, you are still going against consensus again and again, and you may very well get blocked. Here's what I want to know: What do you have against the History Portal link? AutomaticStrikeout 20:35, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of...

You're exhibiting a sense of ownership on those pages. You're not allowed to own pages. You should take your concerns to a given article's talk page and/or to the baseball project page. If you persist in trying to own a page, you're headed for trouble. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:10, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on List of Major League Baseball pitchers with 200 career wins. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. —Bagumba (talk) 05:19, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at List of Major League Baseball pitchers with 200 career wins. 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 below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but 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. Swarm ^X 05:37, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
