Sea star wasting disease

As the original creator of this article I thought it high-handed of you to change its title without previous discussion on the talk page. However I am not going to make an issue of the matter. My objection is about your removal of the section "Causes" with the edit summary "Sourced to a blog". Blogs are not all equal. What you dismiss so casually is written by Christopher Mah, an expert on echinoderms and the person contributing to WoRMS on starfish, see this page for example. I plan to replace the section but I am waiting to see what further modifications to the article are necessary when you have hopefully corrected the citation link for the statement on Densovirus.

Disambiguation link notification for November 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jeff Perry (American actor), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Highland Park High School. 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.

Edit summary question

Assuming that was for me: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Disambiguation/Malplaced_disambiguation_pages&oldid=636481886#Malplaced_disambiguation_pages -- JHunterJ (talk) 19:23, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Yeah. Don't you think that Steel worker should lead people to an article about steelworkers rather than the Steel article? Abductive (reasoning) 23:01, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
I have no issue with that; is there one? I was just fixing the malplaced issue. Now that the Steel worker (disambiguation) page has been merged to the Steeler, Steel worker could be made into a redirect to Steeler without triggering WP:MALPLACED. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:22, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...

Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.

We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ElKevbo (talk) 23:14, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter

Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.

Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Editwarring at CHarlie Hebdo shooting

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Charlie Hebdo shooting. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Not new to edit warring, either, are you, Abductive? Get a consensus before even thinking of touching it again. You will be blocked if you don't cut this out. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 07:37, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Reverted immediately after being warned? I guess you've really wanted to be reported. Here you go. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 07:59, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

January 2015

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Charlie Hebdo shooting. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Bbb23 (talk) 09:30, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

New discussion.

I just wanted to let you know that there is a new discussion regarding the Charlie Hebdo demographics here, and your opinion is welcome. Just be sure to follow the discussion's code of conduct. Gamebuster19901 (talk) 04:14, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
