Recent edits on Template:Orders of succession by country[edit]

Hello,

Thank you for edits on Template:Orders of succession by country.

I am confused why you are removing the information on Hawaii and Yugoslavia.

While it is helpful to clean articles, this information is immediately relevant to the topic, because it notes a potential "first in line".

While you do accurately note that further successors are not specified, this is not the "rule of the template". Any relevant information should be inputted as possible provided it does not stray from the discussion or "distract" readers.

Like I said it has the "first in line" and that's "good enough".

So if you want to establish rules about "how many people need to be there before it becomes eligible for the template", please do so on the template's talk page before reverting incessantly.

Best, Altanner1991 (talk) 06:50, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your question, every entry on the list has a line of succession for who can succeed to the monarch/president/pretender. The term order of succession implies a list. The Yugoslavian and Hawaiian pages simply refer to the former dynasties and only mentions the head of the house, not who's in the line of succession. This is in direct contrast to every entry currently on the template. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.110.217.186 (talk) 12:57, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's okay if it isn't "perfect" as you define, we need to reference the relevant information on the topic. You can't invent said rule. Altanner1991 (talk) 13:05, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The information on Hawaii and Yugoslavia has long been there as approved by many other editors and readers. Altanner1991 (talk) 13:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Yugoslavian page was recently turned into a redirect, so there is no longer a line of succession.
It doesn't make a difference. The relevant information is still there beyond the redirect. Altanner1991 (talk) 13:10, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I admit I was mainly following the lead of User:TompaDompa, who deleted the entry from Template:Former monarchic orders of succession citing the reason "Target page does not contain a line of succession".
Yes and I will leave it to other users to contribute. Thanks again... Altanner1991 (talk) 13:21, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. It should say "pretenders" if it were to mean "one person" or more. Otherwise it needs to have more than one person for the line of succession. Best, Altanner1991 (talk) 14:33, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Sundayclose. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

There needs to be a sentence in the article with that citation. Sundayclose (talk) 20:04, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done.

Template verifiability[edit]

You keep removing current generation names from template boxes with the URL for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Question_about_verifiabilty_in_lists_on_templates but this appears to have been removed from this page.

November 2020[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Berchanhimez. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of election bellwether counties in the United States, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please note that the rules for original research/synthesis apply to the bellwether articles as well. Unless a source calls it a bellwether, it should not be included. The fact the article is in a poor state as it is is not an excuse to add further original research. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 03:36, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
I cant thank you for that edit for some reason - so please take this message as my thanks for your re-addition of content with the source. I noticed the bellwether article and its accompaniment (the US county article) a little while ago and have been keeping it on my list to clean up when I have time, but I haven't yet. Anyone reading the above message should not hold it against this IP as they rectified the issue. Regards -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 03:40, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For the Albany County, I linked the results because that was the only source I could find.
I personally still think that's original research (not in my opinion but per WP policy) but I will not revert it because you at least sourced it to something. If you find a better source please add it but otherwise I won't be touching it at this time because at least there's a source. The history will show the massive amount of original research and unsourced info that was there before.. so as long as it has a source at this time I'm okay. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 03:43, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sign. Your. Comments.[edit]

As seen above on this page, you have been asked three times to sign your comments in talk spaces, on 12 September, 20 September, and 4 October, and each time it was explained (1) why it's important and (2) how to do it. Why are you still not signing your comments in talk spaces? Do you need help understanding the instructions? ―Mandruss ☎ 05:01, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For some things, it autosigns with the signbot. Given that the posts seemed like the standard "Welcome the Wikipedia" posts, I sort of skimmed through them. 73.110.217.186 (talk) 05:36, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
SineBot fixes some of the mistakes. A few editors including me fix some of the mistakes that SineBot does not fix, as I did for you here. No editor should rely on either. And it's a really bad idea to skim through information provided by other editors, at least until one has far more experience; you might miss something important, as was the case here. Not to mention that it's kind of disrespectful to skim through that stuff (so much that you completely miss the point of it, three times), since those editors are going out of their way to help you when there is nothing in it for them. Don't waste their time. ―Mandruss ☎ 06:10, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I was mostly doing it without the signing for a while that it became a force of habit. 73.110.217.186 (talk) 13:57, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

It says the block was for vandalism, but I wasn't the one who did the edit on United States presidential elections in Ohio that was reverted as vandalism.

Accept reason:

Blocked in error. BD2412 T 03:33, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) I can't figure this out either - and no block message was given listing an article or any edit which was vandalism - I went back to try and see, but I can't seem to find anything. User:BD2412, was this perhaps a mistake, or are there specific edits involved? Note to the IP - if you had a registered account, you could avoid the issue of perhaps edits being made from someone else on your internet address being attributed to you - I suggest you consider it as I think the edits from this IP to the bellwether article(s) have been helpful. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 03:25, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was a mistake - my apologies. We have a lot of IP vandalism jumping around these articles lately (along with a lot of good edits, like yours). BD2412 T 03:29, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of longest reigning monarchs[edit]

Best we decide on a limitation for those unknowns. Otherwise the non-stop additions, will increase the section to ridicules lengths. GoodDay (talk) 20:25, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
