British vs. American English[edit]

Please be more careful in using this template. In several cases your edits have been incorrect. In others they were better handled without the template or reated duplication. You had the term junkyard twice in the first sentence in the wrecking yard article after your edit. Corn vs. maize is not a simple BE/AE difference as the article explains. Mobile library versus bookmobile is not a BE/AE difference at all. Both terms are used in the U.S. Rmhermen (talk) 19:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please take heed of what Rmherman has said. You don't seem very knowledgeable about American usage, and your attempts to introduce your templates into articles have frequently had the effect of making the articles inaccurate. In addition, you have in some cases made the "British" term the primary one in the first sentence of an article titled with the "American" term, which borders on a violation of WP:ENGVAR. Deor (talk) 01:19, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know I rollbacked your British vs. American English addition to Costume party. I know it wasn't vandalism per se, but the template was poorly placed breaking the article structure. Rollback doesn't give an opportunity to explain why it was done, so I'm commenting here. a_man_alone (talk) 08:09, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also muffler, windshield, overpass, and Bumper_(automobile). In fact, I'd be willing to bet that all your contributions are broken. Do us a favour and fix them yourself would you? Although good faith edits, there's a lot of broken articles. I don't have time to fix them all, but I've helped you out with the first few - as I see have several others. Cheers. a_man_alone (talk) 08:18, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The templates have been nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2010 March 17. Is there any reason why your user page redirects to a talk page of a different user? Jeni ^(talk) 01:51, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The modifications in the articles muffler, windshield, overpass, and Bumper_(automobile) are correct. About the restant articles, the differences between BE/AE are facultative. Liege (talk) 15:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Careful editing[edit]

Please be more careful with all your edits. Your edit to brass knuckles was ungrammatical, your edit to boomslang linked it to a different species on the Portugese Wiki. Rmhermen (talk) 00:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, your edit is not correct. Boomslang (Dispholidus typus) - a small, venomous snake native to sub-Saharan Africa is not the same as cobra-papagaio (Corallus caninus) - a non-venomous South American boa. Perhaps you dispute the Portugese Wiki's redirect of ararambóia to cobra-papagaio but that is a matter for that Wikipedia, not this one. Also you second edit to that page added a valid Finnish link but in the wrong alphabetical order Suomi goes before Svenska, not before Francais. (I have no idea why the non-Latin alphabets are sorted the way they are.) Rmhermen (talk) 03:03, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In another edit, you wrote: "¿Quién Tiene La Razón?''''' (in [[English language|Spanish]], ''Who's Right?'') is a [[Latin American]] [[talk show]". So you only half correctred the error: "[[English language|Spanish]]" Rmhermen (talk) 03:18, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:BEAE[edit]

A tag has been placed on Template:BEAE, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Jeni ^(talk) 00:19, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

March 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Template:BEAE, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Jeni ^(talk) 00:28, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

continued questionable edits[edit]

What is a lura? Google seems to find no mention of burrows relating to that term. A platelayer is apparently usually called a trackman in American English. Perhaps editing some other subject besides BE/AE differences would be a better fit for you. Rmhermen (talk) 16:10, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found that lura is Portugese for rabbit hole, not certain if this is the same as burrow. The two are not necessarily the same in English but generally are. However lura is not an English term. Rmhermen (talk) 16:57, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to butt in - especially on somebody elses talk page - but rabbit hole and burrow are most definitely not the same thing in the English Language - a rabbit hole leads to a burrow, the two are not interchangeable. a_man_alone (talk) 17:31, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that warren is correct as a rabbit-specific term for burrow - but lura still isn't. Rmhermen (talk) 20:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any evidence that the Brazilian Guinea Pig is called a prea in the English language? Rmhermen (talk) 04:44, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thunder[edit]

Running the Portugese texts through Babelfish shows me that the Portugese Wikipedia has the same distinction between thunder and thunderstorm as the English one does. Why did you feel it better to connect the English thunder article to the Portugese thunderstorm one instead of the leaving it directed at the Portugese thunder article? Rmhermen (talk) 19:59, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Right. Liege (talk) 21:46, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Drywall/dry wall[edit]

Can you give a rationale for moving drywall to dry wall? The latter term is a bit anachronistic, at least in North America, and is not in common use. Acroterion _(talk) 18:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, a "dry stone wall" is stacked stone construction without mortar, having nothing at all to do with gypsum plaster construction. Acroterion _(talk) 18:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Variant[edit]

A tag has been placed on Template:Variant, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Liege (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 191.242.108.254. This has happened before and I have no idea why. I don't use proxy or anything. —liège (talk) 19:27, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

That IP is a P2P proxy; you will need to turn this off, clear your browser cache, and wait 24 hours for the block to clear. 331dot (talk) 19:57, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@331dot it literally is not. I just use Firefox and not any addon. I don't know what's happening. I'm a proactive editor in pt-wiki and this has never happened there. —liège (talk) 21:33, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can't say anything more than that. You say it has happened before, did you do anything to resolve it? Your IP could be different from time to time and you may need to just log off and back on. You can make another unblock request for someone else to review. 331dot (talk) 22:47, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did nothing to resolve it because I don't have instructions to do so. I'm really lost. Is this IP used by some known tool, or was it detected arbitrarily? I have tons of things to add in en-wiki that I already did in pt-wiki —liège (talk) 10:07, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
