Welcome to Misplaced Pages.

Please note that the Bay Area is called San Francisco Bay Area after the San Francisco Bay; The main reason I reverted your edit was that not only did you add again Los Altos twice, but you broke several links, these changes make it hard for users to navigate the site. Please be aware of the impact of your changes before commiting them, feel free to use the show preview button. Also be aware that many of your changes would be considered controversial, and you should discuss them in the discussion page before doing anything. Thanks for paying attention, I'm not trying to discourage you from making changes to the articles, just to be more careful.


Here are some tips to help you get started:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Good luck, have fun, and be bold! (just don't overdo it) --JVittes 07:29, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Removal of the preeminence of SF is an WPOV issue.

Your obvious bias of San Jose over San Francisco, the preeminent city of the SF Bay Area, can continue, but the edits and removal of facts with citations will not stand. The bias is so strong that you would list San Pablo Bay before San Francisco Bay and misrepresent the facts to all readers. Continue this process and an administrator will be asked to intervene. The entire world sees San Francisco as a preeminent world city light years beyond the status of San Jose. Does that mean San Jose does not supersede in some areas? Not at all. But to rewrite sections, removing SF by "slight of word" and demanding preeminence for San Jose where it is not the case is pure bias. Norcalal (talk) 09:54, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

San Francisco Bay Area

Please join the conversation at Talk:San Francisco Bay Area#MSA name, CSA name, etc. before continuing to edit-war in the article. Please also familiarize yourself with the policies at WP:3RR and WP:BRD. Many of your edits have merit, but you seem to be getting carried away. TJRC (talk) 00:47, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

3RR warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on San Francisco Bay Area. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. TJRC (talk) 00:49, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

You have been reported at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring for edit warring. You may want to go there and offer your view of the matter. Binksternet (talk) 01:30, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

No personal attacks

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did in this edit to Talk:San Francisco Bay Area. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 02:01, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did in this edit at Talk:San Francisco Bay Area. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 14:34, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

August 2010

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Misplaced Pages is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to San Francisco Bay Area appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 04:04, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Block warning

It seems to me that you are continuing the edit war at San Francisco Bay Area that was reported at WP:AN3:

If you continue to revert the article, without following the advice given to you in the 3RR closure to follow the steps of WP:Dispute resolution, you may be blocked from editing. EdJohnston (talk) 18:38, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Even after this block warning, why did you again perform the same sweeping edits massively changing the SF Bay Area article again here after the community has spoken and stated that you must gain consensus in SF Talk first? Please place ideas for change on the talk page and then wait for consensus to build. The absence of the consensus building process means that your efforts will be reverted again. Norcalal (talk) 18:00, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Ginelli, persisting in making the same content changes in the face of a solid consensus against you will get you blocked. Such action is edit warring. Please stop. Binksternet (talk) 18:33, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
