July 2024

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to UEFA Euro 2028 bids did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Flooras (talk) 00:17, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Rusty Cat. I noticed that in this edit to Thurrock (UK Parliament constituency), you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Rusty 🐈 23:56, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

New seats

I noticed your edit to Westmorland and Lonsdale (UK Parliament constituency), a new seat with an existing name. You might like to have a look at Waveney Valley (UK Parliament constituency), cobbled together from bits of 5 previous seats! PamD 21:10, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Done and done. LawNerd123 (talk) 01:05, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Cheadle

Hi. The electoral commission clearly states Cheadle has no boundary changes. I recommend you look here, and select "Cheadle": [1]. The only changes are in the names of the wards contained, due to local government changes, not the boundaries. And additionally, it's completely standard to refer to changes from Notional results even for seats that have changed significantly. ALL the news agencies refer to changes from these notional results. The notional results are published on the UK Parliament website for everyone to use.[2] Wikipedia should reflect this standard. I'm going to revert back. Richard B (talk) 13:00, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

If you can provide the source, I shall revert to the previous version. Additionally, If you are insistent on claiming such notional results, this is not true, as no previous years include such changes and there is an ongoing discussion to which you should contribute.

Please contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Parliament constituencies

My mistake

Sorry, but I briefly mistook a recent edit of yours for vandalism. I have reverted myself. Maybe I'm getting tired so I think I will call it quits for the day. Thanks for all you do. Cheers:) --DB1729^talk 00:41, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

WP:STATUSQUO

Hello, Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia for the happiness of many people around the world who are influenced by the United States,

Regarding the photo of President Trump, when the US presidential election topic was first opened, I hope that by keeping the WP:STATUSQUO, the original official photo of President Trump can be registered to help users who access Wikipedia. Examples: Replace the temporary random photo with the original photo to keep the WP:STATUSQUO or provide comments related to the talk page for other users.

References

special:Diff/1243783653

Why did you remove a bunch of references in this edit? — Qwerfjkltalk 12:57, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

The references superseded by the results and are if poor quality being primary sources or social media in a lot of cases

the references are not needed when covered by the declaration of results which is eminently as reliable as a source can get LawNerd123 (talk) 14:12, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

As far as I can tell the other references do not cover it. The two references are to https://web.archive.org/web/20151017112223/http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2015.txt, which only gives that Joanna Cherry won; and https://web.archive.org/web/20150923234024/http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/download/1363/uk_parliamentary_election_results_2015, which seems to be indirectly dead. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:42, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Please state what references you are referring to as the only references I see I removed were confirmations of candidates which are covered in the results reference. If not then the notice of official results should be added. LawNerd123 (talk) 23:28, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

I am referring to the table "2015 general election: Edinburgh South West". The references are the ones I have linked above, and they do not cover the cadidates over than Joanna Cherry. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:30, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard

Another user has reported you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Persistent vandalism of UK constituency pages by user LawNerd123. You are advised to respond there.

In the meantime please refrain from edit warring on this subject and in particular stop blind reverts, mass reverts (no more than three reverts on the question of notional results in 24 hours, even if they are on separate pages) and labelling other good faith contributions "vandalism".

Complaining wikilawyer

You may not revert discussion closures. If you disagree with a close, there's a process for reviewing them.—S Marshall T/C 00:19, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

You were flat wrong and your closure was completely unnecessary and unjustified you can’t just go closing things because you want to especially when two more discussions related to it were right below it

Plus you do not get to own anything on Wikipedia that’s not how it works complaining your closure was undone is a form of screaming ownership plus the reverting of your bold action is part of BRD

Don’t come here and wikilawyer

Don’t be high handed and act like you are special or own this place no one on Wikipedia does. Additionally your claims of closure challenges of things only apply to formal actions closures like deletions not discussions so if you’re going to wikilawyer do it properly. LawNerd123 (talk) 04:00, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

I hope posting that was therapeutic for you, and that you're able to calm down on your own now.—S Marshall T/C 08:50, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

You are a *term prohibited by an over the top admin* the way you have come here and done nothing but bite and be a bully —LawNerd123 (talk) 01:17, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
