Disambiguation link notification for January 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Maxwell Wallace, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Prince Leopold (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.

Battle of Berlin

My intend was simply to use the correct dash. I have no strong opinion regarding the name of the article. MisterBee1966 (talk) 18:43, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Okay, understood MisterBee1966 (talk) 18:45, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom request

Hello PBS, Happy New Year. I've mentioned you in an ArbCom case request submission. While you are not a party, your comments would be appreciated. LittleBen (talk) 12:37, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

• I'm thinking that the community has not been able to settle the two issues here, so it surely would be appropriate to take them to Arbcom. May I coordinate a submission with you off Wiki (my email is open)? The submission could be in my name (though I'd certainly appreciate if you would kindly look my ideas over), or it could be a joint submission (two or more people). Also please see this.

Your comment

See my reply Phillip. I am suspicious of your sudden interest in this dispute. You must realise it will have no bearing on the outcome of the consus of the title change. I am entitled to state my opinion on your attiutde on this article if I choose to do so. I have not received an adequate response to your resistance to the the operational commanders being added, other than, I presume, it was me that added it. I have only edited this article several times over the past few years, but you - and you alone - have contested every single change to the content. Why? It is quite acceptable to complain that these unreasonable complaints slow down its progression. Editors like me like to get on with things. Under the circumstances I'm justified in saying what I said - which is an observation, not an attack. Dapi89 (talk) 10:25, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Clan Gregor mercat cross image

I see you restored the original pic of the mercat cross on this page after I'd replaced it with a pic of the post-1617 location. Thanks for spotting that error. Kim Traynor (talk) 15:37, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

response to warning

PBS, I've responded to your "tagging redirects as orphans" message on my own talk page, FYI. Cheers. --Lockley (talk) 18:40, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

PBS, you probably should take a look at this . I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like someone's up to no good. EEng (talk) 20:13, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi PBS. You'll find I've responded to you on my own talk page. Please have a look when you can. Now that I'm here, I find that EEng has accused Binko71100 of being a sockpuppet, and cites Binko's conversations with me. I have a desire to stay out of that dispute & I expect Binko can speak for himself. Thanks for your attention. --Lockley (talk) 21:22, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Reichstag (building) RM

You previously participated in a RM discussion regarding the Reichstag (building) article. I have proposed another move of the article at Talk:Reichstag (building) if you care to participate in the new discussion. —  AjaxSmack  19:40, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Stop gaming the system

Please revert yourself on the naming conventions.

You're an admin, really? And you don't know any better than to game the system during a discussion? — kwami (talk) 10:02, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

WP:AN3

Hi, I'm on my phone and for some reason it won't let me edit AN3. I was actually saying the request should've been at RFPP - not 3RR or EW - because it was a page protection request. And I know that you know there's no right version, but your request did happen to coincide with the aeticle being in your preferred state ;-) As I say, I didn't even see the AN3 request before I protected so that's moot. FWIW, having now read the "discussion" you were in the right, so for once an admin might've actually protected a page in The Right Version! Black Kite (talk) 13:59, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

DNB page numbers with wstitle?

Hi. The page number is absolutely necessary when linking to a source that contains the entire document in a single file. However, It is not generally needed when linking to a transcribed article at Wikisource, since the articles are generally quite short. I think that it's a judgement call. The WS article has the page number for the original article together with a link to the correct page of the scanned source, so there is no loss of provenance. I'm interested in your thought on this, and I will preserve the page numbers if you still think they add value in this context. -Arch dude (talk) 00:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

As a separate issue, the DNBIE template is broken. It appends "(DNB00)" to the wstitle, but the DNBIE articles at WS (if any) use a different suffix. Therefore, you should not use the "wstitle=" to reference articles in the Epitiome. continue to use the "title=" instead. In the mean time I will go do some research on the status of the Epitome at WS. -Arch dude (talk) 00:59, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

If you wish to add the DNBIE to WS, then great, but the template is still broken. The pattern is:

• {{DNB}} appends (DNB00)
• {{DNBSupp}} appends (DNB01)
• {{DNB12}} appends (DNB12)

so {{DNBIE}} should append (DNBIE). This assumes you intend to implement a seperate article for each epitome entry. I haven't thought about that project so I have no opinion. The problem in in {{Cite DNBIE}}.-Arch dude (talk) 01:34, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

John Le Marchant

I have modified "general" to "commander" and supplied a reference. I have added a reference for "chopping wood". Many of Le Marchant's military writings were published anonymously, as is mentioned in the text, purely because they became official army regulations, but it is known that he wrote them. All new arms, of necessity, are first produced as prototypes. Le Marchant's sabre was merely lengthened by an inch at the behest of the generals overseeing the re-arming the cavalry, but it remained his design - it was adopted as the 1796 pattern light cavalry sword, of which I own two examples.

User talk:Märt Põder

I think the user might have a point -- editing as an IP and then creating an account and using that to continue an edit war isn't sockpuppetry. We encourage people to create accounts; we do not say "create accounts unless you're in the middle of an argument". Perhaps an edit warring 24-hr block would be more appropriate? --jpgordon 19:30, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi

In what Misplaced Pages talk page can I report your maddening witch-hunt against me? I have been contributing dozens of times almost daily since 2005 and am a registered user since 2007, never did I vandalize a page nor tried to negatively affect Misplaced Pages, so I demand respect from you. I hope you'll be as fast replying to my question as you were fast blocking me for some obscure reason. Answer in my talk page. Good day. Tibullus 14:59, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

You can take it to WP:ANI if you wish, but consider, if having read the guidance about cut and past moves if your complaint is warranted. -- PBS (talk) 15:06, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Stop behaving like a cyberbully, and go block anonymous and registered users who keep vandalizing pages. You don't seem to be doing a very good job at that, since I keep reverting their editings. You don't respect who believes in this project and is trying to do their best to keep Misplaced Pages update, clean, unbiased and safe. Tibullus 15:23, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
