Move
What is your proposed move in relation to Kulmerland? PatGallacher (talk) 16:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, the article the redirect points to should be moved, see Talk:Chełmno Land for discussion and sources. The current name is unsourced, the article should be at the common name in English, Kulmerland. -- Matthead Discuß 16:42, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Your rename of Chełmno Land
Matthead, I don't think that asking you to file a proper WP:RM request for a controversial rename is a "reckless POV pushing". Your suggestion to rename the article to the German name has been already contested by another editor before, and you've been advised to go for WP:RM instead. Why did not you do it but instead renamed the article yourself ? As to this edit of yours, I have no doubt that you did it on purpose to make a simple revert of your rename impossible. And now you are reporting me ???! :-) --Lysy 13:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Sedan
Did you even read my comment on Talk:Sedan before reverting? I am not disagreeing with you about the ambiguity; in fact, I tend to think you are correct. But my objection is about process -- this is a potentially disruptive change to many other articles that shouldn't be done without discussion and consensus. The correct course is to use the template {{move}} to propose a move of Sedan (disambiguation) to Sedan, then list the proposal on WP:RM. If you do that, we can form a consensus instead of having an edit war. --Russ (talk) 13:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- I did not move, some body else did. The potentially disruptive change is not disruptive, all articles can be fixed, with a bot if needed. No harm done, except to the old habits of a few. -- Matthead Discuß 15:12, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- That's not the point (and your estimate of the capabilities of bots is, sadly, overly optimistic). The point is that there's no way to determine whether it's "a few" or many until the move has been proposed and discussed; continuing to revert the redirect is not constructive. Sedan's been an article about a type of car for the past two years plus; will it hurt anyone if stays that way for another ten days or so to allow discussion? --Russ (talk) 15:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- Well, as I understand, it was your RussBot which fixed the links this afternoon anyway? Kind of ironic? Whatever, I've cast my vote at the move proposal, and I'm out of this for now. -- Matthead Discuß 19:46, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Sedan Edit War
I have protected Sedan given the on-gong edit war. I would remind you of WP:3RR. You have reverted this article three times. I have chosen to protect in this case. However, repeat conduct like this will likely result in blocking. Please discuss this issue on the relevant talk pages. Community consensus should determine the result; not edit warring. Let me know if you have any questions. -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:17, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

On 6 August, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Battle of Annaberg, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
