use dmy dates edit

It seems that you are changing date param in Use dmy dates in many places, e.g. here: Use dmy dates|date=January 2023}} -> Use dmy dates|date=March 2024}}. Why is that? As far as I understand, dates in tag must be the date when tag was placed. - Altenmann >talk 00:24, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I was looking only at the top of the article, the rest of differences was not on screen. I admit that the change I noticed is basically harmless. - Altenmann >talk 19:06, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
There is a link in the automated edit summary referring to MOS:NUM, those edits use a script to automatically make it consistent with the established date format. TylerBurden (talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Altenmann I posted my reply right after yours here, but it's no worries. TylerBurden (talk) 19:08, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I did look at MOS:NUM, but the edit looked suspicious, because date=January 2023 -> date=March 2024 didn't change date format. - Altenmann >talk 19:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
The dates mean article uses format x consistently as of the last audit, in this example the check done before March 2024 was in January 2023. TylerBurden (talk) 19:12, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
P.S. I wrote "basically harmless", but it is not exactly so. If you novelize the date for any of referencing or cleanup hatnotes, this will create a wrong impression, because some wikignomes (like me) pay more attention to old tags, so I hope your change is related only to the "use dmy" tag. - Altenmann >talk 19:15, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I can't recall ever seeing that, but let me know if you notice otherwise. TylerBurden (talk) 19:23, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Unnecessary reverts edit

Stop with your unnecessary reverts on the article about the Finnish language. These sub branches don't need a source just like other items of this kind in an article about a language. These sub branches are already classified as sub branches of the family, it's shown in the articles themselves and articles about other Finnic languages also feature them. I already stated this in the edit summary which you obviously didnt read. Your last revert even removed a paraphrasing of a previously somewhat clumsy sentence which is unnecessary and definetely doesnt need a reliable source either. Stop reverting edits without even looking into what youre reverting. 85.254.75.130 (talk) 17:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia articles do not meet WP:RS. They are user generated content which can be changed at any time. Provide actual reliable sources and expand the body of the article to support them if you want to make changes to the infobox. TylerBurden (talk) 19:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
If you are so eager to keep removing these items from this article then why arent you removing them from the articles about Estonian and Livonian languages? Stop behaving like you own the page. These are classified sub divisions which apply to all three of these languages as well as other Finno-Permic languages. Look at how other articles about languages work and then show me where exactly each subdicion of the classiffication has a reference. Thats not how language classifications are shown on Wikipedia. Once classified, the sub division gets added into the article about the language which is included in said sub division. Period. 85.254.75.130 (talk) 20:13, 28 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
You're violating WP:OR and edit warring to do it. I don't have time to follow every language article on Wikipedia, that doesn't mean I won't oppose attempts at lowering the quality standard when I see them. You've already been warned for edit warring so I suggest you stop attempting to brute force your changes through. TylerBurden (talk) 19:33, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
