Rome's Greek name

edit

I do not know your issue with this Alexandroupi you are refering at, but check WP:POINT.--Panarjedde 00:42, 15 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

User notice: temporary 3RR block

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.
The duration of the block is 24 hours. William M. Connolley 13:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)Reply


Your edit to Italy

edit

The Greek derivation of the word Italy is the first thing mentioned in the history section. Please, do not start again adding Greek names to Italian articles, as you have tried on doing recently to Rome, unless you have obtained consensus for this on the article talk page. --Nehwyn 20:01, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please, cease. If you want to make this kind of change, seek consensus on the talk page first. --

Your edit to Rome

edit

I see you have once again started adding the Greek name to the beginning of the Rome article. Please do not; you have already been blocked for this kind of behaviour, try not to fall into the same error again. Thanks! --Nehwyn 20:04, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Syracuse

edit

I reverted your edit to province of Syracuse, 'cause the Greek version has no meaning if you refer it to the province. Of course, you can find it in Syracuse, Italy, devoted to the city itself. I've noticed that foreign readers often confound province and city. Anyway, good work!!--Attilios 22:13, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply


Your edit to Nice

edit

The Greek name is already mentioned in the page. Again, if you want to add a translation to the name of a place, you really ought to discuss it first on the talk page for that article. If you do not, and limit yourself to making the change in disregard of other editors' opinion, it will be removed. --Nehwyn 07:51, 21 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your edit to Founding of Rome

About the three-revert rule

edit

Please, be informed that going on indefinitely making exactly three reverts a day to an article so as to deliberately avoid the three-revert rule will result in blocking anyway (albeit after a few days, instead of immediately). Consider that it is common for some edits to become contested, as has happened with some of yours, so that other editors remove them on sight. I understand this may have become frustrating for you, but instead of trying to impose your edits, I urge you to collaborate with others, and discuss your proposed changes in the talk page(s) of the article(s) you want to modify. By arguing your case, you will have the opportunity to convince other editors, allowing your contributions to stay in place. Thank you very much. =) --Nehwyn 19:59, 22 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Blocked for 12 hours

edit
  You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three revert rule in regard to the article Alexandroupoli. Other users in violation have also been blocked. The timing of this block is coincidental, and does not represent an endorsement of the current article revision. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future on the article's talk page (Talk:Alexandroupoli).

No, I am not a sockpuppet of Panjrdde; I was browing through AN3, and your quarrel caught my eye. Tree and monk are common nouns, and should not be linked. If, when you return, you find it necessary to italicize them, that's another question. Septentrionalis 21:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
