Long Beach references in Mesa, Arizona

Thanks for adding an edit summary to clarify your second edit. I agree that Long Beach isn't much of a suburb, and looking at it again, I'd say the word "co-focus" used in the original wording applies. I stand corrected. I like your replacement text further up in the article. (Also, Suburb#North America says that Mesa is the most-populous suburb in the United States, so it's consistent.) Thank you, and (although this is a bit late), welcome to Wikipedia! • WarpFlyght (talk • contribs) 21:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Snickerdo 01:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.

Reverting instead of discussion on Gabrielle Giffords

I see you have a history of just 3RRing instead of discussing on the talk page. There is a discussion on the talk page about just this issue. If you do not care to discuss, I will ask other editors to discuss the issue and come to a consensus.

You have not provided a link to your original research. And, no, your quote from a wikipedia article doesn't count. Either source your addition, or stop adding it. If the news changes and says she was not shot in Tucson, then go ahead and add the information with a link. Until then, don't. --Kleopatra (talk) 05:42, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maps

Hi! I'm trying to find the census maps for Mountain View High School (Marana, Arizona) - I'm trying to determine if it is in Marana, Tortolita, or an unincorporated area.

Where is a high quality map that shows which municipality 3901 W. Linda Vista Blvd. Tucson, AZ 85742 is in?

While I found the regular US Census Bureau maps for Tortolita and Marana, I'm having a hard time distinguishing which is in which

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 17:42, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The current official U.S. Census BAS map is at http://www2.census.gov/geo/pvs/bas/bas11/st04_az/cou/c04019_pima/BAS11C20401900000_040.pdf

The high school is in an uncolored area of the map (i.e. it is neither in a municipality nor in a CDP), but it is right across the street from Casas Adobes (Thornydale Road forms its western boundary), and just over a mile from Oro Valley. The school’s location is best reported as “near Casas Adobes”; however, as for a mailing address, “Oro Valley, AZ 85742” is most appropriate (Casas Adobes is not postally acceptable). The school is about four miles north of the Tucson city limits, making “Tucson, AZ 85742” least accurate. Trorov (talk) 22:32, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know! I updated the article name to Mountain View High School (Pima County, Arizona) - BTW, where is the index of the official BAS maps? WhisperToMe (talk) 22:37, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! It is good to know that others appreciate accuracy when it comes to the messy practice of identifying places in the U.S. I agree with your update: though it is in the Marana School District, it is closer to Oro Valley than Marana and in a ZIP code that “Marana” cannot be used with. “Unincorporated Pima County” is best.

The index is at: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/bas/bas11/bas11_maps.html - enjoy! Trorov (talk) 22:51, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Winchester, Nevada

Regarding your reversion [1], if you had actually looked at my edits you would see that I did not deny that Winchester is a CDP. I only changed the primary references (in the lead and infobox) to use the more informative classification of an "unincorporated town", a term that actually has a specific legal status in Nevada. The references to a CDP remain in those places where they are relevant, i.e. in regards to statistics from the Census.

Also, you reverted my fixing of a dead link to the town board homepage. Please be more careful with your reverts in the future. Toohool (talk) 07:28, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

term confusion on county areas

Hi Trorov,

I noticed your edit heading note on your edit to the article List of United States cities by area about apples, oranges and Yakutat. Could you explain the term CDP and give the areas for the two different regions that you discuss? Dleit Ḵaa (talk) 23:59, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interstate 805

The infobox is supposed to be a concise summary of the article; please stop readding in "San Diego" into every single junction line. This is the third time you have been reverted trying to do something similar to the article. --Rs chen 7754 05:50, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Francis Scott Key Bridge

Please stop changing it to"between Baltimore and Dundalk." As I discuss at length on the article talk page, Baltimore and Dundalk adjoin each other on the north shore of the Patapsco River. While Wagner's Point is within the city limits of Baltimore, it is an outlying section within the extreme outer city limits of Baltimore, mainly used for landfill. Your description is as misleading as an assertion that the Outerbridge Crossing spans from Perth Amboy to New York City, instead of Staten Island. You can walk across the line from Baltimore to Dundalk, they aren't separated by the Patapsco. You are expected to explain your edits on the article talkpage, not to simply revert to what you think is appropriate. Acroterion (talk) 13:22, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024

Your recent editing history at Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Edit warring

Based on the notices above it's clear you should be aware of edit warring. You are violating ONUS with this edit [2]. Onus says the editors who wish to add content need to get consensus before restoring disputed material. That means the burden is on you to establish consensus, not the editors who are challenging the material to remove it. Springee (talk) 23:59, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
