Talk:George Galloway

Not sure what you were going for. The discussion was closed by an administrator, and the argument (WP:TALKCOND) you gave was not a valid argument (read it). Moreover, there is a campaign of harassment against the editor, and I am sure you want to make sure you are not associated with that campaign. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 15:24, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

• I see you re-archived the discussion: good. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:28, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Undiscussed page move

Please do not move controversial pages to new titles, as you did here, without prior discussion and WP:CONSENSUS. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:15, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Alexa references

Please stop your mass removal of references to Alexa Internet and re-read the definition of original research. As Mcmatter already explained, this inforation is not original research, and in fact a default field of the infobox for websites. If you still disagree, you may want to start a discussion at Template_talk:Infobox_website. Regards, HaeB (talk) 05:35, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

OR tag at Sense about Science

19 citations in a short section doesn't seem to warrant an OR tag so I removed it. I also reinstated the Trustees and advisory board section, seems sourced. If you disagree please use the talk page to discuss it (as I think you should have when tagging what seems a very well-sourced section). Doug Weller talk 12:54, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

5 Whys > Five whys_Five_whys-2019-09-01T00:26:00.000Z">

I see you changed the page name of the Five whys article and moved it, and did not see any discussion about this before it was done. Can you please explain what your thinking was about this and why it was not first discussed on the Talk page, given this article existed in the previous form since 2006? Thank you. --- FULBERT (talk) 00:26, 1 September 2019 (UTC)_Five_whys"> _Five_whys">

Replacement of {{reflist}} with <references />-2019-09-10T03:15:00.000Z">

• (1) Why are you doing this? "Reflist" is much more standard now than "references".
• (2) Why are you making this change to a large number of articles without a WP:Consensus to do so? If there is a consensus, please point me to it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:15, 10 September 2019 (UTC)"> ">

I've also removed a bunch of your changes to {{Reflist}} as well. Also, the section title that appears above the references has several permitted names, there's no need to change all of these to your preference. See MOS:FNNR for various names that may be used for this section. Mathglot (talk) 08:14, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Alos, please don;t add width dimensions to reflist", as the width is automatically adjusted for the size of the screen in use. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:14, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

September 2019

Your recent editing history at 8chan 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
