Title[edit]

Shouldn't the title of this category have a lower-case "R"; i.e. Category:2011 England riots? FactController (talk) 15:02, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed it should. violet/riga [talk] 17:09, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How can we fix that then, do you know the process? FactController (talk) 18:01, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike pages (and indeed this talk page) you cannot move a category page. You have to recreate it with the new name. violet/riga [talk] 18:09, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Create a new one, and replace the old one everywhere it's used? I couldn't do that until later tonight then, without notching up another revert in [[2011 England riots]] and risking being blocked. Are you sure that's what "revert" means? FactController (talk) 18:28, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate entry[edit]

Do we need "See [[2011 England Riots]]" in there, it's already in the list? FactController (talk) 18:04, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No need really, so it's gone in this one. violet/riga [talk] 18:09, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Is that one of your 3 allowed reverts for today used up? FactController (talk) 18:19, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's a different page so I'm fine, don't worry. violet/riga [talk] 18:21, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But if you corrected 3 more errors on this page today, could you be blocked? FactController (talk) 18:24, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Depends on the error. violet/riga [talk] 18:32, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So it's not an objective rule then - 4 reverts and you're out. It is subjective, so open to abuse. FactController (talk) 18:35, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's often quite clear cut what is a content dispute and what is vandalism but not always. violet/riga [talk] 18:54, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Can you explain that to Cerejota for me, on my talkpage please. He's suggesting here that all of my edits on [[2011 England riots]], which aren't purely additive, are reverts, and threatening that I *will* be blocked if I clock up 4 within 24hrs after the protection is removed (which I think it is now). I'm frightened to remove or correct anything there anymore. FactController (talk) 20:15, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overuse[edit]

Categorising pages like Brixton using this category is ridiculous recentism. The area is not defined by one riot. Fences&Windows 00:54, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's no evidence for categorising this as a "race riot", so please don't add that category. Fences&Windows 20:53, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
