User talk:14thArmored

Hi, and welcome. The edit you are refering to is in the template - in other words, it is a fixed variable used across many pages (it can be changed, but not without upseting a lot of people in the military history project if it is done without discussion). Changing templates will affect not just the 14th Armored Division page, but many, many others as well. However, I do see your point. I invite you to join the WikiProject Military history; we are always looking for new people with an interest in military history. Just add your name to the list of participants, and then you can bring this issue up for discussion on the project talk page.--Nobunaga24 00:07, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt reply. I did not join the group you mentioned (I am not much of a joiner.), but I did go to the page, and leave a request that a change be considered. The "LIBERATORS" thank you. 14thArmored 1810 Hours 2 November, 2006

I've removed the entire separator bar that was the issue; there's no particular reason to have it, and trying to get custom terminology for it would be too big a mess, in my opinion. In any case, the (incorrect) terminology is now gone; is this sufficient? Kirill Lokshin 01:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Operation Frühlingserwachen was the last major German offensive of the war. It took place in March 1945 on the Eastern Front, and was carried out by the same troops that fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Please research things more before you revert everything.TheCheeseManCan 17:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the misunderstanding...I guess you're not here anymore anyways are you? TheCheeseManCan 22:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Services of supply

Please refer to: http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/160.html Headquarters Army Service Forces [ASF] was established nn the War Department by General Order 14, War Department, March 12, 1943. Mfields1 10:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, no problem, we're all here trying to make Wikipedia as accurate as possible. I added to the Service of Supply article mainly to improve the J.H.C. Lee article. I still have some things to add to that article. Mfields1 03:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Manual of style - capitalisation

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did to T-34, makes it harder to read. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Regards, Mr Stephen 23:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Grant | Talk 02:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Personal attack on Grant65

This edit is not acceptable under Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Please review the policy and make sure that you understand it. You should comment at all times on contributions, not contributors - calling someone a "dick head" because you do not agree with their contribution is not acceptable. —Krellis (Talk) 02:53, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

March 2007

Please stop. If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at User talk:14thArmored, you will be blocked for vandalism. Bsroiaadn 03:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to User talk:14thArmored, you will be blocked from editing. Bsroiaadn 03:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to User talk:14thArmored, you will be blocked from editing. Bsroiaadn 03:10, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Warnings

While you are free to delete warnings from your talk page (it is enough proof for us that you have acknowledged them), calling others "moron" is a personal attack. I notice another administrator blocked you for 24 hours for that. Hopefully you will have enough time to cool down. -- ReyBrujo 03:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a short time in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for engaging in personal attacks and being disruptive. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason herebelow.}}

I'm sure you've been directed to the Wikipedia Manual of Style, specifically the section dealing with section titles, which requests that section headings only use a capital letter initially. Going against community consensus is not how to affect change--in fact, it's called disruption. You can bring it up on the talk page for the MoS, or at the Community Pump. Calling other editors names and engaging in edit warring aren't helping your case. -- Merope 03:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

You fucking moron. You blocked me for reverting unwanted edits to my own talk page. What an asshole!

Decline reason:

How ironic, that you are still attacking everyone (futilely) after being blocked for doing the exact same thing. Weird. — ²¹⁰physicq (c) 04:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Actually, I blocked you for calling people morons and idiots, as well as deliberately making changes you know to be against consensus. Unblock requests like this one aren't really helping your case, and could lead to your block being extended. -- Merope 03:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

{{unblock|You sorry bastard. You blocked me for removing unwanted edits from my own talk page.below.}}

Right. Once again, let me state that I blocked you for making personal attacks. And since you persist in doing it, I've protected this page until your block expires. Another admin will be by soon to look at your unblock request. Cheers. -- Merope 03:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's your last one.

Calling someone a "fucking moron", is, as you should deduce, against our no personal attacks policy. Protecting your page was to prevent disruptive editing, as you were clearly doing. You can stop behaving this way and contribute constructively, or you can get blocked again. Your choice. -- Merope 20:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Stryker

If you have had enough fun with the stuff above... I can use your help on the Stryker article. Whoever wrote it was in love with acronyms and proceeded to stun the unfortunate reader with repeated ABC'isms. Its almost readable but needs heavy rewriting, sourcing, and citing. Best of all I don't think anyone else is working on it and cussing at me just gets me laughing. Tirronan 22:49, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey you know you have a choice here, you can mark this whole experence up as a learning thing and either leave wiki or come on with me and lets have some fun adding and validating content. Right now looks like you are jousting at windmills... here is a hint, the windmill is gonna win. The heck with all that stuff I need your help on the Stryker and we'll find more stuff to fix after that. I am currently upgrading the Battle of Liepzig (huge project and I have done 90% of the work on it so far), the entire US Destroyer section needs work, the Japanese Destroyer section is a joke of stubs that barely deserve that term. What work has been done on the US Battleship section has mostly been done by yours truely. Folks will come along and edit your work I just try to make sure it is a good edit and move on and fix more stuff. Lots of good work to be done and mostly I just don't have time for this stuff. Tirronan 15:44, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

It's called a WikiGnome

With regard to your question for Merope. I hope you're not implying that such editors are somehow worth less to the project than those who do more writing. Leebo ^T/C 04:24, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Also, I deleted your comments as they contained a personal attack: as strange as it may seem, I don't particularly like the words "you fucking moron" on my talk page, and I consider it a form of vandalism. Protecting your page against your making further disruptive edits is completely within Wikipedia policy. If you have a problem with it, take it up at WP:ANI--it's a place where you can lodge an informal complaint about the behavior of an administrator. As for my ability to contribute to the project, unfortunately my administrative responsibilities of reverting vandalism, deleting inappropriate articles, and blocking users for being disruptive have affected my ability to "work hard", as you put it. Cheers. -- Merope 13:13, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Merope: Regarding your defense of your failure to add content to articles. There are those who add content and actively edit, and there are those who cannot. Those who cannot, it seems, are administrators like you. 14thArmored 18:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

It's a logical fallacy to confer any of Merope's activities or preferences to all administrators. Some people have little time to edit. If those people are also trusted members of the community, they may become administrators. Leebo ^T/C 18:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Basically, any administrative help is welcome, even if the administrator doesn't have time to write articles. Leebo ^T/C 18:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm a "wik-idiot"?

No, I'm not. You can vandalize your own talk page. If you delete LEGITIMATE comments, it's considered vandalism. If it's stuff like people asking you questions or whatever, then it's not. But when you delete WARNINGS it is. Bsroiaadn 17:43, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Technically, it's okay for the user to delete warnings (especially if they came before a subsequent block and are thus moot). It's not in good taste, but it's not disallowed by policy either. Leebo ^T/C 17:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Yea, I was reading up on it again to make sure. Sorry about that 14thArmored. Still, I'm pretty sure calling me a "wik-idiot", as you did on my talk page, is a personal attack. Bsroiaadn 18:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Re:Apology

Thank you and I accept your apology. I apologize as well for the mistake. Bsroiaadn 18:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Please read our policies concerning civility.

I'm glad that you've gone through all 9000 of my edits, including the dozen or so articles I've started, and have found them to be entirely worthless.

Actually, skip the policy on civility. This is the better policy for you. Knock it off. -- Merope 19:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit warring on WP:MOSHEAD

I don't doubt that you're trying to improve Wikipedia, but you appear to have violated WP:3RR on WP:MOSHEAD. You should stop edit warring, or you will be blocked from editing. -SpuriousQ (talk) 00:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you. -- Merope 15:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:ANI Report

I have requested administrator intervention on the admins' noticeboard with regards to your current behavior. The report is at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Patience:_expired_--_edit_warring_on_WP:MOSHEAD, and you are free to respond as you choose. -- Merope 20:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Looking over the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings) talk page, 14thArmored by no means has consensus to change the style guidelines. Should 14thArmored continue to insert his own POV as if it were a consensus garnered guideline, I will block for 3RR. IrishGuy ^talk 20:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Your user page

Most everything on your user page, but especially the text "...fucking wikipedia morons..." on your user page violates our policy on civility. Please remove this text immediately. Sandstein 22:00, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

No personal attacks warning

This is your only warning. The next time you make a personal attack, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Plenty of examples of what I'm talking about are provided here, and for reference, the policy prohibiting personal attacks is here. Sandstein 22:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
