BC / BCE issues

edit

Please don't change pages just to change BCE dates to BC. Per the Manual of Style, "It is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change; the Manual of Style favors neither system over the other." eaolson 04:34, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm going to re-emphasize this. Please don't do that. Oh, and one of your edits from yesterday (here), while you were doing it, introduced a spelling error, century -> centur. -- Why Not A Duck 23:12, 27 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

There wasn't a single warning given on my talk page. And if there were I would like to no the reason's why I was blocked

Decline reason:

Unblock reasoning is clearly false; warnings were indeed given. — FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

No warnings? That's hard to believe, when here you are removing some, and again, including removing what was described as a final warning. Care to explain? – Luna Santin (talk) 21:27, 16 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Request

edit

All those images on this talk page are a little odd; the purpose of a talk page is to communicate with others, and they sort of distract from that. Would you like me to help you move them to a sub-page? I know that you're blocked right now, and I'd be glad to move them to User:New4325/images on your behalf. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC) Thank youNew4325 (talk) 18:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Warning on images

edit

As noted above, the purpose of your talk page is to allow communication. All the large images get in the way of that, because they make the page take a very long time to load. I've moved them to the /images subdirectory that FisherQueen mentions. If you persist in this behavior I will extend your block, and may protect your talk page to prevent further abuse.

sure that would be fine if you could make one —Preceding unsigned comment added by New4325 (talkcontribs) 22:59, 27 November 2007

Please, no personal attacks

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, we remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:KathyDavis1962.

Images

Please, use your image page for images; so many images makes the talk page load too slowly for many users. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:19, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

# {{User|YOURUSERNAME}}

to the membership list. You may also like to place {{User Russian Project}} on your userpage, as this will also place you in Category:WikiProject Russia members.

There is also an active proposal on the creation of a single WP:RUSSIA project. The proposal can be viewed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Russia#Proposal_for_overhaul_and_creation_of_a_single_WP:RUSSIA_project, and your comments and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia/Proposal.
