First 3rr warning[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia! Although one of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view, we would like to remind you not to undo other people's edits, without explaining why in an edit summary. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Thank you.

Whether the word "paella" is a Catalan word or a Valencian word is a settled issue for this page. The consensus is that it's a Catalan word. Also there are two citation from credible sources pointing out that paella is a Catalan word. Please read the note on the etymology section. Lechonero (talk) 00:06, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I decided to compromise. I edited the paella article to say paella is both a Valencian and a Catalan word. I was also careful to keep your citation. Lechonero (talk) 00:19, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"The consensus is that it's a Catalan word" the origin, history, science behind any word is not a matter of "consensus" but one of facts. In the "Etymology" section, both in the article and talk page, one can not find any source stating that "paella" is a Catalan word, but the only solid source that supports "paella" as a Valencian word is DRAE's definition and etymology. Additionally, please provide a poll, voting evidence that "consensus" was reached with the issue. Consensus meaning general agreement, how many parties voted and what was the final result. These consensus evidence will be used for any potential formal complaint with Wikipedia, as well as but not limited to Wikipedia Class Action and other third party such as an arbitrator.

Please note the second and third citations of the first paragraph of the Etymology section pasted below. They've been there for some time. Be sure to carefully read through the pages they link to. Both clearly state paella is a Catalan word. Also, keep in mind, I decided to compromise with you. Reverting the edit now would demonstrate considerable intransigence on your part.

Paella is both a Valencian[1] and Catalan [2][3] word which derives from the Old French word paelle for pan, which in turn comes from the Latin word patella for pan as well. Patella is also akin to the modern French poêle[citation needed], the Italian padella[citation needed] and the Old Spanish padilla.[4]

Also, consensus (please read this article on wp:consensus) on Wikipedia is not reached through voting but rather through civil discussion, compromise and cooperation. By the way, I've never heard of Wikipedia class action. Lechonero (talk) 01:29, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skmr2k, I have reverted your edit adding Valencia as co-headquarters of the bank. The board may have decided to move the legal hq to Valencia, however this usually necessitates changes in company registers, central bank and regulators need to be notified and might have a right to veto. Depending on their articles of association, they may also need a change. All in all this could take weeks or months. For now, the website of Caixa shows Barcelona as HQ. We should really only update the article once this has changed on their website as indicator of the execution of the change. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 13:42, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seems they filed in record time... Understandably. Though this is the notification to the CVNM. I take your guidance on Spanish law if such changes become effective on board resolution or on filing with the registro mercantil (which I can't check as it's not free). Views differ in this respect... pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 14:42, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
