Titanic edits

edit

Please note that your edits to Sinking of the Titanic have been reverted. 1) am and pm designations are meaningless and redundant in 24 hour clocks and never used. 2) we do not use the definite article in front of a ship name per WP:SHIPNAME. Thank you. Canterbury Tail talk 12:22, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I completely disagree with you, as this is necessary to not confuse the reader on the time it sank. I won’t change it back, but advise you make it clear that it is taking place in the morning. Jesus231 (talk) 07:12, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
It is extremely clear, it's the 24 hour clock, used and understood by almost the entire planet. And it's very obvious the article is using the 24 hour clock from the timings being used and the fact there is two digits for hours at all times with a leading 0 for hours prior to 10 in the morning.

A belated notification

edit

Hi Jesus231,

This is a (pretty belated) notification regarding your automatically reverted vandalism (see the notice from March 2023). I'll copy my standard information text here as I don't want to invest more time than needed in response to vandalism:


I have noticed that you have recently edited pages related to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Please note that, due to community consensus documented at WP:GS/RUSUKR, only extended-confirmed editors may make such edits.

When in doubt, please assume that a topic is covered by this restriction. We call this "broadly construed". If this still leaves you unsure about whether a topic is affected by the restriction, feel free to ask on my talk page.

This is not widely announced to newcomers, so I'm not blaming or condemning you for not knowing about this. I'm also not saying that your editing has been problematic in any other way. Your edit may well have been perfectly fine in all other regards, yet may have been removed for this reason.

Additionally, Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee has recognized "Eastern Europe or the Balkans" as a generally contentious topic area. Don't worry: The restriction to extended-confirmed editors is about the Russo-Ukrainian War, not the entirety of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The box below contains standardized advice for everyone.

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

This may be confusing, so I'll attempt to summarize it:

  • Only extended-confirmed editors may edit pages related to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Details and exceptions can be found at WP:GS/RUSUKR.
  • All edits about Eastern Europe and the Balkans, by all users, need to be done with extra care.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if there are any questions.

Best regards,

  Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Soviet Union–United States relations, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 00:16, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Restore the country comparison section that a user deleted it provides useful info on the 2 superpowers. Jesus231 (talk) 00:18, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
