[edit] Dates

Please do not change dates to ordinal numbers (e.g. January 1 to January 1st). Users' date preferences are based on linking the month and cardinal number date together. For more information, see Wikipedia:Dates. --Whouk (talk) 18:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I think its scandalous that in an article on a British politician that you are insisitng on American format dates.

How dates are displayed is based on your user preferfences because different people have different views. However, for those preferences to work, the dates need to be wikified in a format suitable for the Wikipedia software to make the necessary translations and that means not using cardinal numbers. Please read the Date formatting section of the article linked to above, and this page for information on setting your own preferences.
Also, if you are posting on a talk page, please sign your messages with your username and the date and time by using four tildes thus: ~~~~ --Whouk (talk) 18:52, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Cut the edit warring. You have been duly warned. --Mais oui! 12:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Desist the petty edit warring now. I will not be entering into any correspondence. --Mais oui! 12:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I wish to place on record that I am not the one doing the "Edit Warring" this editor has ignored my attempts to talk, deleted them from his/her talk page and refuses to enter into a discussion on the matter. Quite incredible behaviour. All I am trying to do is to make a factual correction. Further, this editor, has used an unoffoficial Wikipedia policy (WP:RPA) to try to remove traces of his/her action. This seems enormously unfair.

It does seem a very poor show, of that I will agree. I assume this was in relation to the Royal Scottish Geographical Society article - if so, I have started a negotiation on its talk page in order to prevent further edit warring, I imagine you can provide a valuable input. If a reasonable consensus is reached, then any further reverts from either side will be tantamount to vandalism. --Breadandcheese 04:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for this Breadandcheese. I'm very happy to discuss, indeed that's what I was trying to do, but a certain other user with a French name either seems to have monochrome views or no interest in discussion. -- 83.67.68.118 01:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
