Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Longest Day (film), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Lt. and Simon Fraser.

Gloria Leonard: Personal History, etc.

Greetings BrianVN. You recently edited the Gloria Leonard page and added what I assume to be 'inside information' about her relationship with her daughter. The edit was problematic. The sentence/information about the daughter had been tagged as 'citation needed' since July 2014. The information you added included a nickname and was also unsourced, making a 'bad' situation 'badder.' Since the article isn't of major importance and also because I have no idea how to verify any of the information, I completely eliminated all mention of Ms. Leonard's daughter (though the article does mention single motherhood). [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources%7CReliable sources]] are the cornerstone of Wikipedia--please do follow the link to learn about the concept and its ramifications. The video on this page looks like a fun way to learn about Wikipedia, but if you want a more 'conventional' intro, it will follow. Good luck. Wikipedia is huge resource, and making it as source-reliable as possible is the essence of its integrity and usefulness. If nothing else, please keep this in mind while editing.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

December 2015

Hello, I'm Mlpearc. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you unlinked one or more redlinks from Green Acres. Often redlinks can be helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

In addition, clicking on the "What links here" special link (in the Wikipedia Toolbox at left) on a missing article shows how many—and which—articles depend on that article being created. This can help prioritize article creation. Redlinks are useful! Please, only remove a redlink if you are pretty sure that it is to a non-notable topic and not likely ever to be created. Thanks!

July 2016

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Defense of Van (1896), you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Binksternet (talk) 22:35, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

English

I'm wondering if you have read and understood WP:ENGVAR, where it mentions that one should not gratuitously change words from one variant of English to your preferred variant E.g. 'centre' to 'center', 'favour' to 'favor'. It is... short-sighted... In general avoid changing words merely to satisfy either nits or tics. Shenme (talk) 05:27, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

You are not taking the care needed to edit successfully. Reviewing your series of 7 edits of Bulgarian Armed Forces on 17 November 2016‎:

Outright typos:

"On 1 March 1941, Bulgaria signed" -> "On 1 March 1941Bulgaria signed"

"military industrial complex" -> "military-ndustrial complex"

"until the end of the war; but" -> "until the end of the warm but"

As mentioned above your repeated changing to your preferred form of English:

"fulfilment" -> "fulfillment"

"neighbours" -> "neighbors"

"neighbouring" -> "neighboring"

"defence" -> "defense" (4 times)

"militarised" -> "militarized"

"favour" -> "favor"

A strange aversion to sentences beginning "The...". Actually a lot of uses of the word "the":

"The Military strategy relied" -> "Military strategy relied"

"The instability in" -> "Instability in"

"By the time" -> "By this time"

To the plus side, three misspelled words fixed:

"untakable" -> "untakeable"

"Adrianopel" -> "Adrianople"

"self-proppelled" -> "self-propelled"

Oh, found another fix:

"but the ministry itself was itself a" -> "but the ministry was itself a"

So you introduced three inexplicable typos while fixing misspellings, expunged every British English usage you noticed, changed other words ('which', 'but', 'for', 'her', 'between', 'men', 'guard', etc.) as you preferred with little apparent reason. Since then another editor has fixed one of the typos, which is what drew my attention here. Why should other editors have to fix your edits?

You are not being careful. It appears you are not being completely mindful here, but editing as though fidgeting. And this is after at least one editor asked you (forcefully) to be careful. (Was User:Binksternet referring to your repeated shortening of 'General' to 'Gen', Lieutenant to 'Lt.', when they asked you to check WP:MOS?) And this is a pattern - some good news and some troubling news - such as this edit with resulting typo still uncorrected.

Please take more care and indulge less in fidget edits. Shenme (talk) 06:23, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Battle of Iwo Jima, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Binksternet (talk) 05:10, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Edits at Kragujevac massacre

G'day, I noticed that you were changing the type of English used in the article and changing 10 to ten, whereas MOS:NUMERAL says integers to nine are rendered in words. I have reverted your edits. Please feel free to discuss this here, on my talk page, or on the talk page of the article. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:25, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Legio IX Hispana, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. You changed things like spelling of "favour" to "favor" and other constructs which made it clear it was written in British English. I'm not changing them back, but please be aware that this is incorrect behaviour (behavior) and may result in reversions by other editors. Tarl N. (discuss) 20:32, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Looking at your talk page, you have already been warned twice before (at headings "English" and "Edits at Kragujevac massacre"). Per WP:ENGVAR, do NOT change spelling and grammar to conform to your local preference. Sooner or later you're going to get someone who starts reverting all of your edits because of this bad practice of yours. Please acknowledge (here) that you have read this warning. Thanks, Tarl N. (discuss) 20:35, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Lookin further back on your edits, another type of edit you make is to abbreviate "general" as "Gen." and "Lieutenant" as Lt. -- these are not appropriate, these are abbreviations to specific ranks in the U.S. Military, not general abbreviations for the terms (indeed, these seem to be Air Force abbreviations). For older and non-American histories, they are explicitly inappropriate - in Roman armies, general was not a rank, and it is not appropriate to abbreviate it. Again, please acknowledge, here, that you have read this - you have been editing for three years and not once edited your own talk page in response to multiple complaints. Tarl N. (discuss) 23:30, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

G'day BrianVN, this is the second time I've had to raise this with you. Please read MOS:DATERANGE and MOS:ENGVAR. This behaviour of changing date ranges to 1397–98 instead of 1397–1398 and changing spelling to American English is disruptive and will get you sanctioned if it continues. The rank abbreviation thing also has to stop. You make some constructive edits with prose copy-editing, but you are becoming a net liability. So stop the disruptive editing now. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:56, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

I note he has nearly 2000 edits spread over 3 years, every last one of them to main space. Not a single edit to a talk page, anywhere. We may have to ask an administrator to ban him next weekend to catch his attention (he seems to edit primarily on Friday and Saturday). Tarl N. (discuss) 04:00, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

If they keep it up, I'll do it. It's disruptive editing, and the failure to respond on talk indicates they won't change behaviour. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 04:23, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Blocked for 12 hours

I came here after tracing an WP:ENGVAR change made to the article Gurka (Revision as of 01:21, 11 August 2018)

You have been warned about some of your editing practices on this talk page:

• Section #English by Shenme (talk) 05:27, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
• Sction #National varieties of English by Tarl N. (discuss) 23:30, 11 August 2018 (UTC) and Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:56, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

To be clear there is guidance on some of the inapropriate changes you have made eg WP:ENGVAR, MOS:DATERANGE.,

You are still changing the spelling of words from British English to American English. Revision as of 16:03, 30 March 2019 in artilce Sicilian Vespers. Also in that edit you replaced mdash with two hyphens from "—" to "--" for no apparent reason. In a more recent edit you changed "General" to "Gen." (Revision as of 00:33, 22 April 2019 to article Huai Army) although you have been requested not to make this sort of change.

So I am blocking your account for 12 hours as a deterent against this sort of behaviour. You can expect the blocks to get longer if you do not stop making edits against guidlines, or abrevaiting words from "Major" to "Maj." without first discussing such changes on the talk page of an article you wish to change, to gain a conensus to make the changes. -- PBS (talk) 16:00, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 12 hours for For persistent WP:ENGVAR breaches. PBS (talk) 16:00, 21 June 2019 (UTC). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.
