I apparently intruded on a series of edits-in-progress you were making to this article as explained here. Please do look at that explanation, as it voices the concerns which the intrusion grew out of. As I explained there, I'm just going to back out of the way at this point rather than possibly conflict my edits with yours. This note is to let you know that you may need to re-edit the bits which I touched during your series of edits. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 03:22, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Simon Margan [SMargan] - Thanks for your message. That was me! I am not sure how to correspond with you so I hope you get this message. I am researching the cases concerning the covenant, but was unable to find the particular rights in the list I was adding information about. It seemed to enumerate the rights up until a certain point and then stop. It also had a few sentence construction errors, but I assume it was because you were in the middle of editing that section. I was intending to provide further cases on the rights I had added. If this is a problem let me know. I am new to logging in and using Wikipedia so bare with me. Up until now my additions have been unanimous. Therefore, in summary, feel free to touch up any of the edits I make. I am hoping they will have some use, so that they do not just get deleted.
Welcome to Wikipedia, SMargan! I am Ajbpearce and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. Thank you for your contributions. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions check out Wikipedia:Questions, or feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or type ((helpme)) at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. Again, welcome!

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 10:14, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
Please do not make disruptive edits such as the one you made on Same-sex marriage. The article was protected specifically to prevent the addition of Australia before any legislation is enacted since the vote was not binding. Yes Malcolm Turnbull wants same-sex marriage to be legislated before christmas, but that is not confirmation so please do not present it as such in articles.

Hi SMargan,
thank you very much for maintaining the List of Dora the Explorer home video releases. I see there has been quite some frustration with an editor who refuses to discuss. I also notice that you have correctly used the list's talk page to discuss these changes, but have been ignored. When you are in such a situation, please still keep the edit warring policy in mind. I personally recommend the following essay: Wikipedia:Responding to a failure to discuss.
Thanks again and best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:16, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi ToBeFree,
Your thanks are much appreciated, as were your actions to resolve this matter! You are correct when you say that I had some frustration in editing. I made what I thought were some innocuous formatting changes and Region 4 addition changes in the table on List of Dora the Explorer home video releases. It was frustrating when my changes were apparently continually being undone, and my approaches to 66.65.97.10 in order to discuss his views on the page, i.e. 1) to see if there could not be some compromise way forward or 2) another resolution (perhaps even educating me as to where I was in error), where being ignored. The whole "editor war" storm seemed to develop out of nowhere. I admit that, whilst I had no overt intention of getting into that situation, as someone in that friction with another editor, I may have been equally to blame. Even though I knew there is an elected Disputes Team, I did not know who to approach, or how to approach them. I will definitely keep the edit warring policy in mind and I will review the essay that you have suggested, i.e. Wikipedia:Responding to a failure to discuss.
Your response and actions were much appreciated. SMargan (talk) 22:20, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
SMargan, re: your edits at List of Dora the Explorer home video releases, you have to be careful not to involve yourself in edit-warring, because you can wind up sanctioned as well. You did the right thing by opening a discussion on the talk page. I notified the IP that they should participate in discussion. If they don't, after a fashion, (I sometimes let these things go for 2 weeks or so) you can try restoring the content. If they remove it again, don't revert, rather take it to the edit-warring noticeboard. Nobody's going to die if the wrong information is in that article for a while. As part of our Bold, Revert, Discuss process, if an editor is stonewalling change by reverting and failing to discuss, that is a behavioural problem, and the editor can be sanctioned for that. Don't get dragged into the drama. Please keep cool. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:20, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
Hey there, re: this, just so you know, the minor edit tickbox is intended for small, cosmetic changes like typo fixes, grammar improvements, reversion of obvious vandalism, spelling improvements, and things of that nature, i.e. things that couldn't possibly be the subject of a dispute. It'd be appreciated if you'd please keep this in mind. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:09, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

JavaHurricane 11:38, 26 April 2020 (UTC)An article you recently created, List of The Octonauts DVD releases, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. We don’t need more links to sites selling the DVDs. We do need more links to independent reviews dis us ding thevDVDs as a whole to demonstrate their WP:NOTABILITY. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello. I added ILGA to the pedophile advocacy category because they at one time contained the North American Man/Boy Love Association, which is a pro-pedophile organization. I was trying to be objective and not engage in "homophobic vandalism" but I can easily see why some people would be offended by my highlighting the connection between the two organizations.

I have that page on a watchlist and I saw all the additions you made there and I'm grateful you did that. I don't think we would cross editing paths, even though I edit a good deal of LGBTQ pages (mostly relating to characters and history of characters in animation) based on the stuff you have on your user page, but its good to have passionate people like you on here. Hope you have a good day! --Historyday01 (talk) 19:06, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

In this edit, you described two red links you removed as "broken" and redirected them to other targets. I have no opinion in this case of the appropriateness of the targets you chose, but you should be aware that there is nothing wrong with red links, and that they serve a valuable purpose: see the guideline WP:Red link. --JBL (talk) 17:41, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
