Disambiguation link notification for December 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jefferson Davis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thomas Pratt (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Burning of Washington Wiki additions

"Undid Anti-American Action"?? - Really? A bit over-the-top as a characterisation. Why isn't the addition more germane to the Chesapeake Bay Flotilla? Natty10000 | Natter 02:24, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do not make personal attacks in edit summaries. I consider both my and user Natty's edits and summaries were reasonable. Neither warranted accusations of bias or personal abuse. HLGallon (talk) 09:10, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Undid contributor who is all wet". I guess you missed HLGallon's post above. In any case, why haven't you added this information to the Wiki entry about the Chesapeake Bay Flotilla or the Battle of Bladensburg? Certainly this information if accurate should be in those entries even more than the Battle of Washington. Natty10000 | Natter 14:10, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for for disruptive editing and personal attacks on Burning of Washington. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
