On the position of the elections

Ok lets have it your way what are your objections to the elections being were they are ? Friendlyhistorian (talk) 16:02, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

@Friendlyhistorian: It's not "my way." I originally went with your edits, but now two experienced editors have reverted your edits. So the original should stay in place based on WP:BRD. Stop insisting on something you can't explain clearly. Also, your comments are largely incomprehensible. Anwegmann (talk) 16:13, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

First of all thats not really an arguement . Second if you go and check the other lists of african heads of state almost all of them are done in this way not in they way you edited . Also its hard to explain stuff if you are not a native english speaker . Ok listen i am not a bad faith actor ok i am just trying to make a diffrence if you dont believe what i am saying check the heads of state lists of various african countries Egypt , Zambia , Tanzania , Gabon Friendlyhistorian (talk) 17:38, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm not assuming bad faith. I'm concerned about your inability to explain what you are doing and your accusations that somehow the original is "my way", especially considering that I did not write the original article and that two experienced editors have reverted your work. Your not being a native speaker is not an excuse, as WP:COMPETENCE is a central pillar of Wikipedia. I don't doubt that you're trying to help. But you're not really helping in this situation.

Then I will ask you this is it competence for an encyclopedia to have different style of lists for heads of states for every country . One thing that no one answers me when i ask them why when they revert changes shouldn't there be some standardization in an encyclopedia . My edits are minor in nature and have not changed the article overall i apologize if i sounded passive aggressive . But it is extremely frustrating that i am allowed to change whole articles and no one cares but when i do a minor edit on page that i have worked before and if you dont believe check the history i get the "lets discuss this" 'lets go on the talk page" Friendlyhistorian (talk) 18:22, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

That is not a question for me to answer. WP:COMPETENCE relates to the ability to produce consistently correct English-language edits and "the ability to communicate with other editors and abide by consensus." Bring it up at WP:MOS. That's the best way to change consensus rather than simply making edits that get reverted repeatedly. You might want to discuss it with Skjoldbro, who is a very experienced editor with an enormous amount of experience with military and political list formatting in particular. One of the central lessons of WP:BRD is that bold edits are likely to be reverted unless a clear explanation and discussion can flush out exactly what needs to change. You are trying to change something that requires consensus, or at least clear reasoning (which, I'll note, cannot rest on edits you have previously done). Bring it to the appropriate discursive space to change widespread practice rather than insisting on your bold edits in the face of resistance. Also, at this point, I'm begging you to use proper punctuation (or, honestly, punctuation at all). Anwegmann (talk) 18:33, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

To be fair most of the stuff that i have edited has not been reverted . Now lets be honest here you disputed this and therefore i want to talk this with you . Pleas explain what are your objections on the elections being at that specific place . I already brought many examples so what is your reasoning . Friendlyhistorian (talk) 18:52, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Listen i will think about your advice so no need to reply also sorry if i made some grammatical errors . Take care Anwegmann Friendlyhistorian (talk) 19:40, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Please don't collapse citations

As you just did in Republic of Maryland. Doing so makes my work more difficult. Thank you. deisenbe (talk) deisenbe (talk) 16:58, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Please read WP:WHENINROME. Changing the citation style of an article arbitrarily or based purely on personal preference makes everyone else's work more difficult. Thank you. Anwegmann (talk) 18:20, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

I have reverted a series of your edits today which to me appear to constitute harrassment based on your own strange confusion about what a "citation style" is. Your edits are not supported by WP:WHENINROME and you should desist from following deisenbe around. --JBL (talk) 21:48, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
