August 2017

Hello, I'm Slazenger. I noticed that in this edit to Naval Infantry (Russia), you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. --Slazenger (Contact Me) 08:55, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

• ok. let's see what happens. Fustos (talk) 22:18, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Danny Amendola

I disagree with your addition of adding the nickname 'Danny Playoff' to the introduction section of the article Danny Amendola for a number of reasons:

1) Per the Misplaced Pages use of nicknames guidelines, it is more pertinent to inform the reader that Daniel James Amendola is colloquially known as 'Danny'. Everyone recognizes his name as Danny. There is NO debate.

2) The nickname 'Danny Playoff' is a very new nickname provided by a teammate and used by some teammates and media. But they ALSO refer to him as 'Playoff 'Dola' - hence the nickname 'Danny Playoff' is not yet colloquial. It is not like Ed 'Too Tall' Jones who became known by that name.

3) The mention of this new nickname 'Danny Playoff' is already included in the story.

4) I am a HUGE New England Patriots fan and Danny Amendola fan. He is 'Danny Playoff' - but it is not yet a name that the general NFL public knows him by. They know him as Danny.

Federer as greatest athlete?

This is not supported by sources to use the term "many" in terms of athlete. It's debatable whether it should be in the lead at all. Please back up this claim on the talk page so we can all debate the issue. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:07, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

then leave out the "many" or "some" and have something like RF "has been describes as...". having "some" and "many" just sounds odd. Fustos (talk) 22:09, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

That's fine if you can make it stick with other editors, but you can't use unsupported "many" with his athletic prowess. Or it could be in separate sentences. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:55, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.

Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. - WOLFchild 09:19, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Ukrainians shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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.
