Disambiguation link notification for April 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Nick Teo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hong Ling. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar 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) 05:57, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Filmography layout

Hi there, if you have noted the latest article that you are editing, aka Guo Liang (actor), please look at the filmography table. This is the English Misplaced Pages where English is the main language. A few things to take note of.

1. WP:CHINESECHARACTERS - To help establish a simple and clean appearance, if a term is Wikified and has an article, do not provide characters or romanization again which means all Chinese titles are removed if there is an existing English article. If there is no English article for the show, the Chinese name is provided alongside with the English title. Hence a standalone Chinese title column is redundant.
2. WP:FILMOGRAPHY - Use of rowspan formatting in "Year" columns (ex. #2) is acceptable. Hence all the same year are merged together. Visually it is easier to see how many works an actor had done within the same year.
3. WP:CIVIL - It is what is inside the whole policy.

Please note that the filmography table which I tidied (or the lazy "cleanup") for Peter Yu is rather accepted within the English Misplaced Pages. Thanks. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 07:03, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi,

Without sounding offensive, instead of listing a laundry list of irrelevant policies which I am not flouting in any way, you might actually want to take a another look and see that I am actually making it easier for users to read the articles, as well as making it easier for relatively new editors to add on content.

Hi, what I have done is according to Manual of Style and I can firmly assure you that they are relevant policies and guidelines. Please do read through them and understand them. Thanks. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 07:21, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, 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 Peter Yu, 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. – robertsky (talk) 07:15, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Peter Yu 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. – robertsky (talk) 07:18, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
