Redirects

Hi! Please don`t change links without good cause, as you did at 2014 Zimbabwe Tri-Series, as there's usually no good reason to fix something that isn't broken. 107.190.33.254 (talk) 13:10, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

And please stop editing links such as Cricket World Cup or One Day International to be links that redirect to the original spelling. Spike 'em (talk) 21:36, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Sam Curran. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. In particular, please stay consistent with regular English capitalisation standards and do not "fix" links if they aren't broken. Thank you! 107.190.33.254 (talk) 01:54, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Problem edits

Can you please follow the advice you were given above? I have just had to roll back all your most recent edits, almost all of which were at best pointless and often going against the Manual of Style. For example, when referring to British football clubs with their suffix, the convention is to use dots, such as in Derby County F.C. – look at the all the article titles for those clubs. But you insist on changing these to Derby County FC, presumably only as a personal preference. This is particularly futile when done in a piped link - changing [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] to [[Derby County FC|Derby County]] gives absolutely no benefit, the suffix isn't displayed to the reader in either case but the link has become inefficient as it now targets a redirect to the article title rather than the title directly. Another example of a small but incorrect change – we put song titles in double quotes, but in the Derby article you changed "Your Woman" to 'Your Woman'. I'm sure you think you're helping, but there are standardised ways of doing things and when you make edits that go against this you are wasting both your own time and that of other editors by introducing mass changes that then get overturned.

Could you please read MOS:QUOTEMARKS – in particular: Use "straight" quotation marks and Most quotations take double quotation marks – and stop the disruptive edits that change things to your personal MOS rather than a community decided one. Spike 'em (talk) 10:27, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. 107.190.33.254 (talk) 14:13, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at South Africa national cricket team, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. 107.190.33.254 (talk) 15:32, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at New Zealand national cricket team. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:35, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
