Re: List of minor Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from List of minor Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Leverage (TV series), you may be blocked from editing. --Drmargi (talk) 08:12, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I actually replaced a table in this article with a table that I copied and pasted from another Leverage article. I was trying to customize it to fit the section because the section I pasted the borrowed table to is about DVD releases and not about the original airdates. It would've been nice of you to look at what I was trying to do before accusing me of doing something that I was in fact not trying to do. Your censoring me for unfounded reasons makes this site feel hostile and unwelcoming. I was simply trying to make the page better and I see no reason for your attack.

First off all, attacking or censoring you is hardly what I did. I saw a series of edits that were problematic, and an editor with a prior notice for problem edits, plus no edit summary and no discussion on the articles' talk pages, and had to evaluate what I saw as best I could. It's not up to me to read your mind; that's why we have edit summaries and talk pages: to provide the information other editors need to evaluate the reason behind an edit and/or discuss edits. You make a series of edits to the table that were unexplained (no edit summary) and left the table full of formatting errors. What's more, because you failed to provide an edit summary or to discuss your edits on the articles' talk pages, I had no way of knowing what you were trying to do. I saw no reason to remove the information you were removing, which is generally included in DVD release tables for television shows (check around, please). At the very least, it seemed apparent to me you had no idea how to set up a table properly. What's more, you did a good deal more than just copy a table from one article (which one?) to another; you were attempting to modify tables in two articles with no edit summary explaining why and no discussion on either talk page, leaving behind a fair number of formatting errors, then added a source with a broken link and erroneous information about season and episode counts in one article's infobox.

Frankly, I'd have reverted the edits regardless. I see no reason to remove start and end dates from the table, the episode numbers in the infobox were inaccurate (see my edit summary), and the tables in both articles were left with formatting errors. What I did wasn't censorship; it was making an editorial judgment based on what I saw in the absence of any rationale or explanation from another editor. Another, less temperate editor might have justifiably accused you of vandalism in the given circumstances. I'd suggest you take the time out to read WP:EDIT and spend some time on busy articles about television shows. You'll find that edits such as mine are commonplace, that having your edits removed or modified around here is to be expected as a matter of routine, and that edit summaries and discussion on a talk page are the best way to be sure you communicate what you're attempting to do to other editors. Then be prepared that even then, other editors might not agree with what you do. That's how it rolls on Wikipedia. --Drmargi (talk) 12:35, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sleepy Hollow (TV series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sleepy Hollow (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
