Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 07:09, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the two posts you deleted at Talk:Gulf of Mexico

I disagree with your reason. And the Administrator was right in saying no need for a new section. But you are new still so this is not any kind of warning. Nor is the alert below anymore than a standard alert I wish new editors got automatically if they edited in an related error, but as they don't... Doug Weller talk 09:24, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see that administrators are reverting policies and guidelines violations because its message conflicts with their opinion. Also, it's an eyesore for those messages that do not contribute to the encyclopedia to be on the page. Since it does not affect the encyclopedic content of the article, I will not remove it again. ZergTwo (talk) 15:10, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand how the post you removed is supposed to be a WP:NOTFORUM violation as per your edit summary here. Can you explain, please? Bishonen | tålk 20:41, 3 March 2025 (UTC).[reply]

I don't see how a user expressing their opinion on the Gulf of Mexico dispute by comparing the dispute to the Falkland Islands conflict isn't a WP:NOTFORUM violation. ZergTwo (talk) 23:59, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Piping

Re your edit here, please see the guidance at Wikipedia:Piped link#When not to use, which says, First of all, keep links as simple as possible:, and Unnecessary piping makes the wikitext harder to read. Your use of piping in that edit was unnecessary, and contrary to the guidance. Donald Albury 22:13, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure this is not a mistake? I don't see why Hurricane Irma is appropriate while Hurricane Irma is not. ZergTwo (talk) 22:37, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear. I was seeing your edit as going in the opposite direction. I blame that on my childhood dyslexia. My apologies. Donald Albury 23:38, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. It happens to the best of us. ZergTwo (talk) 23:45, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

POV pushing

Accuse me or anyone else of POV pushing again, like you did in the edit summary of Special:Diff/1283373826, without providing evidence for your accusations and you will find yourself the subject of a noticeboard discussion. Ps, you might want to have a read of WP:TPO, before you think about removing other people's comments from talk pages. TarnishedPath^talk 11:13, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that I accidentally reverted other edits. The intended targets were Special:Diff/1283355921 and Special:Diff/1283355921, but two other edits were caught in the crossfire. I should be mindful of how I edit when catching up on my watchlist. Apologies for the confusion. ZergTwo (talk) 13:57, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please take more care in the future. If you're removing edits of an IP adress in the topic area, where they are not edit requests in the talk, the correct reason is WP:ARBECR. Putting edit summaries along the lines of 'revert POV pushing' is illadvised, regardless of who it is. TarnishedPath^talk 23:26, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
