Bold in tables

edit

Hi Michael 182, recently you have been replacing various actor/acrtress/director award table entries with boldface. I have removed the bold letters except from tables where it is used to contrast the top position from other entries. This issue has been brought up in WT:FILM. Please discuss there before reverting or changing more tables to boldface. Thank you. Hoverfish Talk 17:06, 1 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Academy Awards lists

edit

As requested in edit comments, please don't change featured lists in such bold ways without some form of prior consensus via the associated Talk pages. Your changes make it impossible to sort the entire list by name, or by any other column. The only improvements seem to be easier editing by decade (though that would be a rare need), and to remind readers when they've reached the end of a decade, which they can see by simply looking at the year column. Not sure either of those are good reasons, but you haven't even asked anyone before proceeding. Some readers may have been relying on the sort option across the entire table, and editors normally only need to add at the bottom each year. So, can you please expand on your reasoning, more than "It helps to better comprehend the text"? Thanks. Brian W. Schaller (talk) 00:43, 2 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Changes in film award lists

edit

The issue of splitting film award lists in decades and disabling overall sortability has been brought up in WT:FILMS [1]. Please discuss there before continuing with similiar changes and reverts as you did in Golden Bear and Palme d'Or. Thank you.Hoverfish Talk 20:48, 18 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film#User splitting award lists by decades & disabling sortability. Please participate in the linked discussion before making further large-scale changes to tables within film articles as you have made in Academy Award for Best Picture.

November 2017

edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. NeilN talk to me 19:57, 28 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Logged out edits

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for logging-out to create an illusion of support contrary to WP:SOCK. While editing as an IP is not disallowed, doing so to support yourself in content disputes is an abuse of community trust. Please ensure you are logging in to edit moving forward. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

Ponyo, please see here that Michael 182 continues to push for splitting by decade despite an RfC here finding no consensus from anyone else to do this. I am not finding that this editor is conducting themselves properly in persisting without consensus. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 20:40, 30 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

I almost believed this editor had complied with consensus and was up to constructive edits, at least in the area of film awards I edit and watch. Hoverfish Talk 00:06, 31 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I've only been involved with this case as far as the socking was concerned. It may be time to bring the issue to ANI, unless Black Kite, who's blocked them previously for disruption, wants to take a look.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:57, 3 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
