Deletion discussion about TVD Universe
[edit]Hello,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether TVD Universe should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/TVD Universe .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,
Dom from Paris (talk) 12:09, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from The Vampire Diaries into TVD Universe. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:24, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for July 19
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mastani, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Panna (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Your recent editing history at Legacies (TV series) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:14, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Next time try discussing the changes you want to make rather than just edit-warring to your preferred (and wrong) version. Thank you. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:16, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Open to discussion talk
- The discussion should be at Talk:Legacies (TV series). While there, you might also want to look at Talk:Legacies_(TV_series)/Archive_1#The_new_"lede"_reads_pretty_badly... where the lede was already discussed, and a consensus achieved. But you would rather just edit war to your preferred wrong version, I see... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:20, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Understood and your insights are appreciated. I agree to stand by the already achieved consensus regarding the 'spin-off' issue. However, I still think adding The Vampire Diaries Universe link in the lede makes complete sense. Let's at least reach consensus on that. IJBall talk
- To be clear, the objection isn't to adding a link to The Vampire Diaries Universe article (though that article really needs independent sourcing to demonstrate that this is a "thing"...). What is being objected to is: 1) your changes to the lede (which are wrong), and 2) whether the link to The Vampire Diaries Universe article belongs in the lede, or more properly in the body of the article. Now, please discuss this at Talk:Legacies (TV series). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:00, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Legacies (TV series); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — YoungForever(talk) 22:36, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
