March 2025

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although 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. 331dot (talk) 08:32, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

???? Where on earth am I edit warring? Scuba 13:22, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to link it; on Emil Pagliarulo. 331dot (talk) 13:31, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any plans to change the current version of the document, but an IP user had been trying to delete most of it, or re-work it into a single section along the lines of "twitter drama" instead of sections being broken down into games. Not sure if that is an edit war. Scuba 13:32, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You repeatedly reverted the information that is in dispute instead of attempting to engage the other user(I warned them, too). If you have no intentions of editing the article further, though, okay. 331dot (talk) 14:12, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Triad

I have to congratulate you on the Triad article creation - as fine a bit of historical sleuthing as I've ever seen. I'm slightly embarrassed, as my own book is probably the most recent WP:RS to add to the article, but at least I added Mr Al Shamsi's part in the ship's history to your excellent piece! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 16:36, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I stumbled across the Triad while doing work trying to make articles for all the palace coups in the trucial states. They intervened a few times and it didn't feel right that a headquarters ship didn't have an article. Cheers! Scuba 18:54, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping with 2017 OF201!

		The Original Barnstar
		Hi! I saw you've been adding some useful contextual stuff to the 2017 OF201 article, before and during my overhaul of the article. I wanna say thanks for helping out, even if I wasn't aware of it at the time. :) Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 20:39, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

June 2025

Hi Scu ba! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Planet Nine several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Planet Nine, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Please review bold/revert/discuss. You should discuss the addition, not edit war the content.. Johnjbarton (talk) 21:17, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

June 2025

Your recent editing history at Planet Nine 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; read about 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.
You have now been asked four times by three different users to stop adding the material without further discussion: Too early to make this claim. Please see talk page. -- Discuss on talk page please *before* adding it back -- Not an improvement. Please discuss on the talk page. -- Please discuss on the Talk page. There is no consensus to add this content. The paper is unpublished and thus has no peer review. This is not productive. Please stop. Renerpho (talk) 21:22, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Scu ba: When I wrote this, I had neither seen Johnjbarton's warning above, nor had I seen that you've since reverted them with the edit summary source is the new york times, listed as reliable on perennial sources. Please understand that this is not a question of reliability, but of building consensus. Renerpho (talk) 21:35, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Renerpho we don't need consensus for every addition to a Wikipedia article. this isn't an academic source, its Wikipedia. If the NYT says something that's good enough for me to include it in the article. The joy of Wikipedia is that if information changes, we can go back and edit articles. But gate keeping an entire page, and reverting any edits because they don't get your approval in the talk page isn't healthy editing practices. Scuba 21:52, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We are not asking for consensus for "every addition", just the one that we are currently discussing. You know as much because you are involved in the discussion. Johnjbarton (talk) 22:09, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And you still ignore the crux of the problem. Why shouldn't we include this? it's not like the dwarf planet candidate is going to just disappear. Why did you remove its inclusion in the searches section. Scuba 22:19, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Scu ba: We don't include it because we don't quite know yet how relevant it is. Yes, newspapers report on it as well as on Brown's and Batygin's reactions; but that's not the same thing as peer review, or as a proper response in a scientific journal.

The fact that we're talking about a featured article here means that extra care is taken to ensure it continues to meet the high standards that are set for such articles. If this story turns out to be relevant, it will be covered in the article eventually. But if we included every story that makes news, the article would become messy very quickly, and its reliability would suffer.

2017 OF201 isn't the only such story that came out recently. If you look through the article talk page, you'll find that this is a recurring theme whenever someone claims to have made a major breakthrough in this story. It was discussed at Talk:Planet_Nine#A_Search_for_Planet_Nine_with_IRAS_and_AKARI_Data a few weeks ago; it was discussed at Talk:Planet_Nine/Archive_7#Preprint_for_potential_candidate in 2022. Even the discussion at Talk:Planet_Nine/Archive_7#No_clustering is relevant, and I'm sure there's more if you go back further into the talk page archive (I could link to similar discussions on other high-quality articles, too). The result in most cases has been a consensus to wait for peer review to finish.

That conclusion is not set in stone (otherwise we wouldn't need the discussions). We could decide to cover those things, if such a consensus emerges. In some of the discussions I've linked, I initially argued in favor of adding such material. In hindsight, I think the decision to wait was correct. Renerpho (talk) 04:35, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like it deserves some mention at all instead of being totally scrubbed from the article. Scuba 04:41, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Scu ba: Maybe. But the way to decide is not by trying to push your opinion, it's by discussing it and convincing your fellow Wikipedians that this is so. I suggest you change tactics, think about arguments that address the issues raised by Johnjbarton, me and others, and then present those on the article talk page. Renerpho (talk) 04:47, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At this point since you're on my talk page on a section claiming I'm disruptive. nah. I'll just stop engaging and hope people make the right obvious decision. Scuba 05:04, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Song disambiguation

Per WP:SONGDAB, further disambiguation is only required when multiple songs … of the same name have articles. Since there is no other song titled "D-Day" with a standalone Wikipedia article, I have reverted your move of D-Day (song) to D-Day (Agust D song). jlwoodwa (talk) 16:37, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
