Re: [1]. The voting system is not the same every year and has changed plenty. Saying that it would have been the same just because it had been the same the previous year and has not (yet) been announced to differ is WP:Original research. This is equal to saying that the contest always takes place in May, or that Germany always participates just because this has been the case in recent years. Moreover, the article makes no mention of the voting system allegedly being used, and therefore provides no source for it or its use in the previous contest(s), thus failing WP:Verifiability. Per WP:Burden, "The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material." There is no burden for "unverifiability", as the principle of "everything is true unless proven wrong" is not valid on Wikipedia. Lastly, the contest has not taken place, wherefore no voting system has been used. Hence, the voting system should not be mentioned in the infobox for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020.

Would you consider this a reliable source for updating List of electoral wards in Suffolk to include Newmarket's new wards in West Suffolk

I'm not an expert in the topic, but you seem to edit politics-related things, so thought I'd ask.

Thanks. On the articles like List of electoral wards in West Yorkshire, should some of the actual wards be added, e.g. for the blank ones in Leeds, under Wards from 1 April 1974 (first election 10 May 1973) to 1 May 1980:[1]

Hello. Regarding this deletion of yours, I'd hardly call it nonsense. The question refers to the article on Black the Ripper, pointing out that it lacks a date of death. Reading the article, it says that he was found dead on 6 April, but the RD questioner is correct to point out that there is no actual date of death given. Presumably, if he was found dead, there is no certainty on the actual date of his death. But the question should have been allowed to stand. --Viennese Waltz 08:19, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-08-04T08:19:00.000Z","author":"Viennese Waltz","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Viennese_Waltz-2020-08-04T08:19:00.000Z-RD_deletion","replies":["c-Viennese_Waltz-2020-08-10T19:28:00.000Z-Viennese_Waltz-2020-08-04T08:19:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi Doktorbuk, you recently reverted an edit I made to the short description of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 page. As you likely know, a short description is supposed to be as brief as possible, and preferably not include words already in the article title.

Hi, I was wondering if you could please make some fixes on some polling tables? On the page Leadership approval opinion polling for the next Senedd Cymru election it is stated to use dmy dates but the tables are incorrectly dated month and then day.

Hi there, I saw you were involved in the discussion on List of United Kingdom MPs by seniority (2019–present) regarding maintaining their age on this page.

Unfortunately the other user is intent on removing their age, focussing on the very narrow view that the page is specifically about seniority and therefore other metrics such as age are not relevant.

I have looked at other similar articles which DO have ages - such as List of current United States senators, List of current members of the United States House of Representatives - and have therefore decided to create a new page which contains ages and seniority which you can find here:

List of current Members of Parliament for the United Kingdom

Very happy for edits on here and for any comments you might have in the talk page of List of United Kingdom MPs by seniority (2019–present)

Happy Birthday!

Have a very happy birthday on your special day!

I see you have changed the templates on all of the Scottish Constituency articles. This isn't necessary - the template automatically detects whether the party has an article, and links accordingly. Your edits have also had the effect of removing the /meta/color and /meta/shortname functionality, which can be used even if the party doesn't have an article (I had created templates for all of the minor parties that are standing to minimise the amount of grey boxes and standardise the formatting). I hope you don't mind if I add this function back in again.

I am genuinely puzzled by your admin action on Talk:2021 Scottish Parliament election to close down discussion of Alba as Decoy Party. In particular, I think that your tag of "this falls foul of WP:NOTFORUM" is less than helpful. To be more precise, did I fall foul of the policy in trying to engage with the person making the proposal? Or are you saying that the proposal itself falls foul of the policy?

On the whole, I think you should have let the discussion run and see if other editors have a different view from mine on the proposal and I definitely think you should have engaged with me more directly if you think I engaged wrongly with the proposal, rather than shutting the discussion down. 78.33.185.122 (talk) 22:22, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-04-18T22:22:00.000Z","author":"78.33.185.122","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-78.33.185.122-2021-04-18T22:22:00.000Z-Alba_as_Decoy_Party","replies":[]}}-->

Hi Doktor B, I've noticed that you've added results boxes to a couple of pages on my watchlist for elections tomorrow. They aren't blank and contain placeholder 1s to prevent the template from breaking, and consequently they are quite confusing to try to interpret. I've reverted the London one, but would you like to self-revert the others? Those pages are going to have one of their peak readerships tomorrow and a misleading results box is not going to help the general reader.

Hey Ralbegen. I did wonder about keeping them hidden because of that very reason. I've tried to "zero" them and it breaks so the holder numbers can't be avoided, I don't think. But yeah, I'll put them in hider-arrows (or whatever the correct term is!) and then as the results come in we can reveal them again. It was in my mind to hide them, I thought it might be better to show the candidates in a box as a summary, both Tees and Yorkshire seemed far too text-heavy.

You're a liar as well. I have not "almost exclusively edited the Mrs Hinch article". Jesus, why are prolific Wikipedia editors almost universally tossers?

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.. While I fully understand new WP:SPA accounts promoting particular views, can I say it's disappointing to see an experienced editor not even try to keep to the spirit of WP:BRD. You (and the other editors) were bold, you were reverted, it is therefore time to discuss - not to edit war.

I generally follow politics related AfDs and have come across a number of your nominations. Please take this as a comment made with good intent irrespective of inclusionism/deletionism. According to this for 2021 you're running at around 20% for your AfD nominations ... it would be less if the no consensus and withdrawn nominations were included. Please reconsider your nominations for 2022, there's far too many keeps this last 12 months. It would help if you didn't use cut and paste nominations. If an article has been to AfD previously and consensus was keep, please indicate why DRV is not appropriate and what has changed that requires a new AfD.

"Far too many keeps" is a problem for Wikipedia, not me. I believe, genuinely, that we are too lenient with non-notable political parties. They seem to have a free pass for reasons I can't fathom.

Hi I had to undo your edits on ESC 2023 page because with your rollback it has again added some duplicate pragrafes regarding the "Location" and a portion of the "Other countries", which were inadvertently added despite these paragraphs were already present.

Furthermore, it has also mistakenly restored some dates (which have not been confirmed by any official source or by the EBU itself) and the organizing country (given the delicate situation Ukraine is currently experiencing with the war).

I hope these reasons have cleared up the misunderstanding and that we will continue to cooperate on the platform in a peaceful manner :) -- « Ðømīnīk • Cåpuån » 01:12, 12 jun 2022 (CET)

I believe your revert to the most recent edit to the article was unwarranted without discussion on the nature of the edits. I decided to be bold because it generates discussion and ultimately makes for a better article. Reverting good faith edits without discussion can start destructive edit conflicts.

Hi, I'm wondering why you deleted the plot summary. The whole article does not make any sense without it. Either put the whole entry up for deletion or rewrite the summary yourself. What you have done borders on vandalism. I'm not saying this because I wrote it a long time ago but because I'd be just as frustrated if I were looking up something and found an unintelligible rump text.

Please see WP:OWN to see policy on what happens when you create anything on Wikipedia and how its open for editing or removal. Please see WP:PLOT about what is acceptable content and also remember that Wikipedia is a n encyclopedia so the tone of the "summary" was far too chatty and blog-like to be acceptable.

A tag has been placed on Everton Fox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Regarding your edit here, could you elaborate on your thinking? I'm not convinced that you're wrong, but I haven't come across that reasoning before. My take is that when a constituency is the primary topic (i.e. when [[X]] is a valid redirect to [[X (UK Parliament constituency)]] there's no impediment to deleting the unnecessary pipework, in accordance with WP:NOPIPE.

For example, [[Aldridge-Brownhills]] and [[Aldridge-Brownhills (UK Parliament constituency)|Aldridge-Brownhills]] both display the same text and both link to the same target. WP:NOPIPE says the first construction is preferred.

N [[Aldridge-Brownhills (UK Parliament constituency)|Aldridge-Brownhills]]

Y [[Aldridge-Brownhills]]

Hi @Jean-de-Nivelle I'm just Very conscious of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK Parliament constituencies).

Don't worry - I'm aware of that convention as well. My edit only changed examples where the right hand side of the pipe redirects to the left hand side, i.e. where [[A|B]] can be simplified to [[B]] without affecting either the displayed text or the target page. In cases like "Cumbernauld and Kilsyth" where the base name is a disambiguation page, the pipe is necessary, and I didn't change anything. All the page titles still follow the naming convention. There are still cases like "Edinburgh West", where the base name should redirect to "Edinburgh West (UK Parliament constituency)" on the basis of page views, but that's a job for another day.
