Capitalisation of section headings

[edit]

Please do not capitalise all words in sections headings. Wikipedia manual of style clearly sets the standard for such headings which is that only the first word should be capitalised unless other words are proper names. Please do not change any more headings. Thank you  Velella  Velella Talk   00:52, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Woolworths Group. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you.  Velella  Velella Talk   09:46, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Woolworths Group, you may be blocked from editing.

Just to add to the above comments -- you have made a number of edits, which all seem to be well-intended ("good faith" in WPspeak), but which go against WP styling ("sentence case for headings"), or in another case make links go to the wrong place. At British Home Stores you changed this link: [[Administration (law)|Administration]]; this makes "administration" link to the relevant article, instead of a general disambiguation page ("DAB" in WPspeak). Please be more careful before changing things you have not understood fully. Thanks! Imaginatorium (talk) 10:46, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Maplin (retailer), you may be blocked from editing.

The Teahouse

[edit]

Hi Scott, if you're having trouble editing, or have questions, check out the Teahouse which is a good place for new or inexperienced users to find help. I hope that's of use. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:41, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Teahouse logo
Hello! Scott Bell-Moss, you are invited to join other new editors and friendly hosts in the Teahouse. The Teahouse is an awesome place to meet people, ask questions and learn more about Wikipedia. Please join us!

Having said that, you are now edit warring on Toys "R" Us. Stop editing the article now and discuss (either here or on Talk:Toys "R" Us about what you want to achieve, otherwise you may need to be temporarily blocked from editing to prevent disruption and frustration from other editors who are trying to work on the article. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 22:59, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ritchie333: This editor just won't stop. I've only reverted them twice in the last two days, but they keep on adding the same unsourced material. ScrpIronIV 23:03, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Toys "R" Us, you may be blocked from editing. ScrpIronIV 22:55, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again, Toys "R" Us. Please read Talk:Toys "R" Us#"punctuation_mistakes" and date formats, and respond there. -- Hoary (talk) 09:40, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Toys "R" Us 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.

I warned you this would happen. You didn't communicate with us, so you got blocked, then you evaded the block to create a new account and carry on like nothing had happened ..... now you're really blocked. You've only got yourself to blame. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:47, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
