[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Imaginary unit, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 23:23, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
Note: There is no valid reason for "mathification" of inline math as you did here and here. See MOS:FORMULA: "For inline formulae, such as a2 − b2, the community of mathematical editors of English Wikipedia currently has no consensus about preferred formatting." See also MOS:STYLERET. If you want to make such drastic style changes, the best way forward is to first go to the article talk page and discuss your proposal with the other contributors. - DVdm (talk) 23:23, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- You know what? I'm just gonna stop editing articles now, as all my edits are getting reverted. Really, I don't understand what's the problem with having formulas in actual math style. XǝNoX (talk) 07:27, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- @XǝNoX: Well, Wikipedia is a place for collaboration. The problem with changing inline formulas into some math style, is that styles are subject to preference, and overhauling an article's style to our personal preference, is kind of rude vis-a-vis the other contributors, and tends to going back and forth between different styles, often resulting in wp:edit warring. Hence our guideline MOS:STYLERET. Hope this helps. Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 09:52, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.

- Hello, I tried to do that but the problem is that I couldn't move the page because "a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid". So I don't really know how to move the page to dozenal without copying the text. If you know how to do it, then please do it. XǝNoX (talk) 14:00, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. You are obviously the same user as 62.34.45.218. The sum of your efforts amounts to blatant disruption. Favonian (talk) 14:01, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- I second that, you are skating on thin ice. This is the second time you have attempted that move. That move has not got consensus, and is unlikely to ever get consensus. Try it again using any account or IP, and you will be blocked. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 07:06, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
