Correct use of user talk pages edit

Do not use your talk page to hold copies of articles from the article namespace. Please see WP:UTP for a discussion of how user talk pages are used. TJRC (talk) 15:24, 27 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I am very pleased to meet you, Dr. Porter edit

Uh, what? Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 21:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I didn't write anything, I just removed some comments that didn't belong in the article. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 01:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Henry Louis Gates, Jr. ‎ edit

This is not an acceptable contribution by any stretch of the imagination. Viriditas (talk) 13:55, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Merely was a quote from CNN. CNN is not acceptable? Amthernandez (talk) 04:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
CNN did not say, "Questions have also been raised whether Gates was confrontational. Wikipedia cannot answer this question," you did. Viriditas (talk) 09:34, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Roger Ebert edit

This is not an acceptable contribution. Just because you think Ebert is gay, doesn't mean we edit the article based on your beliefs. Viriditas (talk) 09:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please stop moving pages without consensus edit

We already have Lobster (disambiguation) and your move has now created two dab pages. Please use the talk page for any new moves you decide. If you had simply read the article, you would have noticed that it says, "Though several different groups of crustaceans are known as "lobsters," the clawed lobsters are most often associated with the name." And, your conversion of Lobster into a disambiguation page already duplicates Lobster (disambiguation). Furthermore it is incorrect, as "Clawed lobsters are not closely related to spiny lobsters or slipper lobsters." Again, you seem to be editing Wikipedia based on your beliefs rather than the information contained within the articles. Viriditas (talk) 09:53, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

What part of "please stop moving pages without consensus" are you having problems understanding? Please use the talk page to propose your controversial move, first. Is any of this making sense? Viriditas (talk) 03:24, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

You had it moved with no consensus. Amthernandez (talk) 03:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

You aren't making any sense. I asked an administrator to restore the page that you moved. As the mover, you need to propose and discuss your move on the talk page. So far, you have not given a good reason why you are moving the page and changing the disambiguation. Please stop. Viriditas (talk) 03:30, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please stop stalking me. I asked you not to and you just erased my politely written message to you. I made a neutral correction rather than taking the American viewpoint. Wikipedia requires disambiguation pages if there are two equal sides. Both lobsters are common. I am not asking for the rare lobsters to be given the same status. Amthernandez (talk) 03:37, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm not stalking you. I'm correcting your erroneous edits. Your recent changes to Lobster violate disambiguation best practices and go against consensus. Please stop. Viriditas (talk) 05:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

A key part of the WP:BRD style of editing is not reverting while discussion is happening. In the face of opposition, consensus is needed before a move. Get it before moving the page again, please. lifebaka++ 05:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
