Regarding your edit at Joy Williams. Since you and I disagree I've brought the issue to the reliable sources noticeboard. Please join the discussion here. Thanks, --KeithbobTalk 17:58, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

April 2014 edit

Please click on this link (French: La Belle et la Bête) and you will see that it goes to the French language article. These templates also collect info in other areas of Wikipedia which is why we use them in preference to the old link that you are entering. Please read WP:EGG we are supposed to use direct links not euphemistic ones. Ignoring both of these can be considered disruptive editing for which you may be blocked and there is no reason for that to happen when most of your other edits have been productive ones.

Links do not have to be direct as long as it's clear where the link is going, and it is absolutely clear in this case, MarnetteD, plus it is better English. When both can be achieved, why would you alter that? The language template is all well and good, except you're ignoring the reason I changed it in this case. Thanks for understanding. 123.243.242.213 (talk) 04:43, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Your change to the language template is not needed since it goes to the same article either way. MarnetteD | Talk 04:49, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yes, the link remains unchanged, as it should, and a mention that it's the UK title too is added, which can't be done with the current template. That's the only difference changing from the link, so I'd like to understand why you reverted? It's not US Wikipedia. 123.243.242.213 (talk) 05:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Beauty and the Beast (1946 film). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

  • If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
  • If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. MarnetteD | Talk 04:49, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply


The claim that the French title is the same as the one used in the UK needs a source. MarnetteD | Talk 04:50, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Here's the first three sources that I can think of. Which one would you like me to reference as proof in the article or should I include all three? Maybe I should use all three to be sure that someone won't revert for the heck of it. I'm not sure why your edit summary says "it is not the UK title" when you clearly haven't bothered to check. 123.243.242.213 (talk) 05:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
