[edit] Style

As a matter of style on the soap opera pages, children are not added to the bullet point lists until after they are born. While there is no dispute that Sami Brady is expecting, there are no names and at this point there is no guarantee the children will be born alive. Anything can happen that's why children are not added to bullet point lists until after their birth. Please do not participate in an edit war by adding information not to be included in a page.IrishLass0128 16:47, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

• Again, it is a matter of MOS Style for Soap Opera pages that you do not include children until after they are born. It is that way throughout the soaps. Unborn and miscarried children are not added. This is a style decision, not a peronal decision. You can continue to add them, but they will be removed. If you continue to go against the style set forth by Wikipedia, you can be blocked from editing. Adding content deemed not appropriate or against the MOS is grounds for reporting your account. Participation in edit wars, that you've obviously declared, is further reason to report your account. To sign your messages you leave to other people use four ~ marks.

[edit] Edit war

IrishLass0128 asked me to take a look at an exchange between the two of you on her talk page where you asked her not to undo edits you had made, edits that went against accepted practices in articles about soap opera characters.

I realize you're very new here, and so I will ask that:

• you familiarize yourself with the standards for soap opera characters before making any more edits, and also read about consensus and how important it is to Wikipedia. Given the permutations and fluctuations of soap opera storylines, including anything and everything about a character would result in many articles about those characters becoming indiscriminate collections of information, which we don't want. There are cutoffs for what information is important enough for everything, and in soap operas the project has decided not to list expected children because the writers frequently still or miscarry them (see also the Wikipedia is not a crystal ball page — so many things are planned that do not come to fruition that we can't possibly have articles about future things unless they are very likely to happen, and soap opera children do not quite make that cut).

• you refrain from further reverts of her reverts of your edits, or anyone else's. If you do this more than three times in 24 hours you will be blocked from editing for a while. This is an ironclad rule here. You can also be blocked if you make just three reverts a day over a period of several days ... we enforce the spirit of that rule as much as its letter.

I would strongly suggest that, until you are fully conversant with the character guidelines, you refrain making edits such as the ones you have been making and stay with safe edits such as some you have made to other articles. You can always feel free to correct a spelling or grammatical error. If you really think you can't edit soap articles within the limits set by the project, consider editing other articles about things you might have some knowledge about, like the town you live in or your favorite food.

Good luck. We always hold out hope that every new editor can become a valuable contributor to Wikipedia. Daniel Case 18:56, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

IrishLass asked me to do this and talk to you. As an administrator, it's part of my duties here to intervene when asked by another user. Daniel Case 15:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism Warning

Your recent moves over consensus decisions is considered vandalism. I will be reporting all your moves and having them moved back especially the Sami Brady move. It has been decided on the soaps, all soaps, that characters will stay their maiden names. Do not continue to violate the MOS by moving these pages. CelticGreen 18:06, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

To further clarify on what CelticGreen means about names, the article's title about the character, man or woman, should be their common name. That applies to articles on real-life people on Wikipedia as well. If the woman's married last name is a part of her common name, then her article should go by that last name as well, of course. For instance, fictional character Kendall Hart is now commonly known as Kendall Hart Slater (both Kendall Hart and Kendall Hart Slater are a common name for her), even though she's been married to Zach Slater for not more than three years yet. There is also the more important fact that she often refers to herself as Kendall Hart Slater, which is most likely what made that name, with Slater tagged onto it, so common. Anyway, I'll see you around. Take care. Flyer22 20:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Even though my talk page says that I'll respond there, I'm letting you know that I responded there (on my talk page) to your comment to me about this matter. Flyer22 06:09, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Flyer22 asked me to explain my opinion on the Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerals move from Crane. Not even NBC lists her as Crane in the credits or on their website. In the last three months she's been married to Jared Casey, Ethan Winthrop, and then back to Alistair Crane. Since NBC states she is just Lopez-Fitzgerald and that's what most people would look for when coming to Wikipedia, it makes sense for her to stay there and all her marriages can be listed in the character description.

Also, I noticed you have done a lot of moves that are not to character's common names to names that are their "married" name, Kimber Henry, Carrie Brady being a couple that stick with me right now. Just because a character gets married, doesn't mean we run and move their page. Wikipedia is for reference. If people can't find articles because of moves, it's not a very good tool.CelticGreen 01:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

AugustAugust, try not to start up the moving of the woman's last name from her common name again. What the title of the woman's last name should be is her common name. If it's a famous real-life person choosing to go by her married name, then that's another matter.

I don't really watch the show that she's on, but Cassie Winslow is clearly better known with the Winslow in her name than as Cassie Lewis, thus her article is better-placed at Cassie Winslow Lewis than at Cassie Lewis, no matter what an official soap opera site titles her as. And, also, when listing the status within parentheses in the Family and relationships sections of soap opera character articles, make sure that you don't capitalize those instances...unless it's an official name or title such as...(child, by Todd Manning). I'll see you later. Flyer22 04:46, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your vandalism has been reported

You do NOT move pages to false names. You have been warned in the past. Do it again and you will be reported formally. Sami Brady's page is NOT to be moved. There is no evidence she has taken the name DiMera. IrishLass0128 18:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

There is a report of this activity at ANI. Please ensure your actions arise from agreement and consensus among other editors. Take your ideas to the discussions pages before acting on them as this will decrease strife and drama. JodyB _{Roll, Tide, Roll} 19:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page moves

You have been repeatedly warned. Stop moving pages against consensus and Wikipedia guidelines. CelticGreen (talk) 17:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Your move of the Carly Corinthos page has been reverted. Wikipedia has guidelines, please try and follow them and stop moving pages for no good reason. See [Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names)]] if you have any questions. Further violations will be reported as vandalism. IrishLass (talk) 14:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why are you back to moving articles from their common names?

STOP IT! You know the deal by now about common names. I don't have to explain anything to you about that anymore. For a while...it seemed that you were following the rules about common names, but you aren't anymore. I'm not sure why you have started up this problem again, but you need to stop it soon. I will look to have you blocked, temporarily or permanently, if you continue on this route. Flyer22 (talk) 09:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I've responded to your reply about this on my talk page. Try to remember to sign your user name when commenting/replying on Wikipedia talk pages, though. Flyer22 (talk) 08:50, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
