User talk:Rowdycat

June 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Deaths in 2010. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Deaths in 2010, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. The cited reference confirms that Bill Aucoin died from complications of prostate cancer.

Linking

Hi Rowdycat. Why do you want to de-link T-cell lymphoma? Wikipedia allows linking of "technical terms that many readers are unlikely to understand at first sight". I doubt that many readers have any understanding of this condition. While I support the reduction of overlinking in Recent deaths, this is one term that surely warrants linking.

Edit-warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Deaths in 2010. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. 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 edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. As your addition to the Tom Bosley article has been removed multiple times, please gain consensus on the talk page before restoring it again. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 19:10, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Phil Bondelli

Hi Rowdycat. I believe you have edited Recent deaths for some time, so you may be aware that there is consensus that redlinks do not remain for more than one month. Bondelli died on 31 January, more than one month ago. To date, he has no Wikipedia article so his notability has not been demonstrated. If you think he warrants a presence on Wikipedia, you might consider writing an article stub. Otherwise, I ask you not to edit war. Regards, WWGB (talk) 09:59, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dame Elizabeth Taylor

You have already been warned about abusive editing (see above). You removed the "Dame" from Elizabeth Taylor in the March 2011 deaths without citing any reason, which is not surprising as there was no valid reason for this removal. She was knighted, whether or not you like it. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 22:14, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you continue in this arrogant and abusive manner I will report you to WP:ANI. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 22:21, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deaths in 2011

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
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; 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 continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

You've made the same revert three times within a 24-hour period, so a further revert on your part would be breaking 3RR and you might well be blocked. It's best to leave the page alone and join in the discussion on the talk page. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:23, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I checked again, and you've broken 3RR already, with 4 reverts in a few hours. Really not a good idea to do it again. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deaths in 2011 - Peter Falk

Please see the Talk:Deaths in 2011 before making any more changes to the film credits listed for Peter Falk. Thank you. BurienBomber (talk) 18:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Preston Carpenter

A consensus was reached two weeks ago that two or three submissions for a deceased sports player would be submitted with the full name added. It appears you refuse to accept this. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 3:35 1 July 2011 (UTC)

October 2012

Hello, I'm Qwrk. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Deaths in 2012 that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Engage brain before testing things and wrecking them beyond repair........

Disambiguation link notification for January 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cain's Hundred, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Blake (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:02, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits at John Stephenson (actor)

If you try to add the claim that the subject is deceased again, I'll haul you over to WP:ANI and request that your account be blocked. There's a reason why we don't accept blogs or forum postings or our own personal research as reliable sources for claims in biographies, and one of them is so the subject's family doesn't have to write to OTRS pointing out that their loved one is in fact alive. The damage from this type of edit warring transcends Wikipedia, and you need to understand that before you even click "edit" on anything that has a BLP component. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 21:34, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
