Your recent editing history at Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma 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; read about 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please can you let me know your source regarding RNLI flag/ Tudor crown. MartinOjsyork (talk) 20:44, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm assuming they've changed it going off a recent visit by The Duke of Kent. https://www.royal.uk/news-and-activity/2024-05-14/the-duke-of-kent-returns-to-fraserburgh-marking-55-years-as-president Matthew Garforth (talk) 09:09, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's cool.
When you posted it on the RNLI page, there's no citation, so you nearly got deleted! I've added one. Thankyou!
If you're keen on lifeboat pages. contributing etc...

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sharkey Ward, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Distinguished Service Cross and Air Force Cross. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 17:55, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Neveselbert. I noticed that you recently removed content from David Amess without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:16, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to David Amess did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 22:02, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - Please can you take a look at WP:HONOURIFICS. I have just carefully removed a series of honorifics (His Grace, HRH etc) from articles on guards regiments per WP:HONOURIFICS but you seem to have reverted my edits. The policy looks quite clear to me ("In general, honorific prefixes and suffixes should not be included") but if you have a different view please discuss it on the talk page before reverting edits. Dormskirk (talk) 16:03, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

[edit]

And have a look at why all of your recent edits have been reverted. You are relatively new and inexperienced, you really should stop and reflect on what more experienced editors are trying to tell you. You’re amending articles in relation to honourifics as you believe they should be. But it isn’t in accordance with our policy/guidance. KJP1 (talk) 20:04, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
