This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Disambiguation link notification for August 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lee Zeldin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Democratic Party. 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.

WGHT

I reverted your edits because putting that the transfer is pending is allowed in the InfoBox such as "(sale to Company X pending)" See WMGM-TV or any of the CBS Radio owned and operated i.e WCBS (AM), WCBS-FM, WIP-FM, KCBS-FM, KCBS (AM) etc... etc... which is being sold to Entercom. While I appreciate your attempts at editing to explain I do agree that there should be a paragraph but you should not have deleted any of the references including the FCC application and the link to All Access Music Group from the page they were valid and appropriate.

November 2017

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 01:07, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Why do you keep reverting my edits? They're more in depth. And why do you add stuff only to remove it later? Mvcg66b3r (talk) 19:53, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Your edits contain too many overlinks ie: Connecticut is not needed after Hartford, Connecticut. Please familiarize yourself with the following information on when to link BlueboyLI (talk) 20:11, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

@BlueboyLI: While I believe User:Mvcg66b3r's ANI report was hasty, it was obviously an attempt to get you to talk about what you were doing. Your response to it was at least one more revert (and possibly more?) and you only seem to be ready to respond after getting poked more than once. Regardless of quality of edits, it's almost never appropriate to mass-revert a veteran user without discussing and edit summaries do not qualify as attempts at discussion. CityOfSilver 20:25, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

As I said, my edits are more in-depth. Yours are kind of bland. And please don't lecture me with that "overlinking" stuff. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 15:26, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Sometimes less is more, esp. when editing lead articles. Your edits lead to reader fatigue with unnecessary redundant links. Other edits are incorrect ie: placing full power stations in the translator field or confusing programming services with networks. BlueboyLI (talk) 02:08, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Your revert of trivia re Taylor Swift / Fifth Harmony song

Thanks. That IP-hopping editor has been spamming many radio station articles with this "station was the first to play..." trivia re. Taylor Swift / Fifth Harmony songs. See my recent contributions for what I am sure is only a partial list. Since they change IPs so often, comments at "their" talk pages are unlikely to even be seen. Alas, don't be surprised if they revert your revert, they've already tried that with at least one of my removals. I'll submit a request for protection if there's much more of this.

Disambiguation link notification for March 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited WSHU (AM), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greenport, New York (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

A bit of advice

I have no idea what your problem is, but null edits are needed sometimes. Please don't call common edits to explain what an editor was doing 'disruption', especially when I'm trying to be helpful and revert a mess where death threats were thrown your way. I'm going to back out of NYC media edits for now because it seems like you don't appreciate help from others in the topic area. Nate • (chatter) 07:14, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

I agree with Nate. I'm just trying to be helpful as well, and you keep editing them back because you think they're redundant, when they're not, even when I give an explanation. I really appreciate it if you'd ease up on this. Johnnysama (talk) 01:05, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes adding a citation is helpful, blindly reverting articles is not, especially when they undo the work of another editor. Ive already posted on your talk page about Misplaced Pages's policy of unexplained edits, yet you seem to consistently blank your talk page. It is not necessary to add (now WABC-TV) or whatever when it's already in the article that's wiki-linked. ````
