WP:NOBAN

NOBAN is a guideline, not a policy, but it's still valuable. Its first sentence says, "In general, it is usual to avoid substantially editing another's user and user talk pages other than where it is likely edits are expected and/or will be helpful." At this point, after User:82.15.11.237 has frantically reverted you ten times in just over an hour while repeatedly asking you to stop, I'm wondering what positive outcome you're foreseeing. Did you have high hopes that your tenth try would accomplish something that the first nine didn't? CityOfSilver 01:23, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

@CityofSilver: I was hoping that the IP might see sense and realise calling enough editor a "vandal", when all they did was break 3RR, was unacceptable. I accept I went OTT in my edits, but his behaviour is not accpetable on Wikipedia. If that happened again, I would play my cards differenently, but I think the IP should not be so naive to think that he did nothing wrong, and should realise calling another editor a "vandal" was unacceptable.

Doctor Who (series 9)

Hey, Ted. So, concerning Doctor Who (series 9), I picked the colour that appeared most through the entire cover (as that's how consensus has determined we should do it per WP:TV and MOS:TV). To do this, I use a tool called TinEye Labs, which separates the cover into separate colours - you can see this here. If you see the list, you'll see that #332C26 is the most common colour, hence my edit here. #C1B7A8 doesn't appear in the list, and I'd probably say that it's not even the colour of the sky. Just explaining how I came about it. Cheers. -- Alex^TW 00:00, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

OK, that's fine, just thought I could see more light than dark brown (obviously not the case). TedEdwards 13:37, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Pinging ‎Intyre in this too. -- Alex^TW 13:37, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Didn't know about that tool, I just used an ordinary colour picker in Paint. You can change the colour then, if you want to, there's no big difference anyway. Intyre (talk) 14:39, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Consensus on Doctor Who Episode Titles

Hey, could you give me a link to that archived discussion? I'd like to take a read of that. GUtt01 (talk) 10:50, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

@GUtt01:As I wasn't an editor at the time of this discussion, the discussion having happened about 10 years ago, I am not certain where the discussion is, I've only seen it mentioned by other editors, but this discussion might be the one your looking for. It might be worth you time finding an editor who was around during that discussion. TedEdwards 14:21, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

@GUtt01: In summary, titles of serials and television series are italicized, whereas titles of episodes use quotation marks. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Titles: Use italics for the titles of [...] television series / The titles of [...] television episodes [...] take double quotation marks instead. Specifically for Doctor Who, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Style advice: Where mentioned in subsequent text, serial titles from the classic series [...] should be italicised / Episode titles from the new series [...] as well as individual episodes within serials [...] should be put in quotation marks. Also see this discussion, which links to the one that Ted posted. Hope that helps! Cheers. -- Alex^TW 16:55, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

January 2018

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- Radiphus 17:43, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

REMOVE MY EDITS TO AHS APOCALYPSE AGAIN AND I WILL REPORT YOU GOT THAT? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magicladasha (talk • contribs)

WP:OR

Hi. Recently you reverted this pending change, stating that it is a original research, but actually the song is released, so I think "unsourced" would be better? Regards ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 00:17, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

@Abelmoschus Esculentus: Yeah, sorry I think that's what I meant to say. TedEdwards 11:47, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

List of James Bond villains

Hi Ted, just a short note. I notice you have reverted a disruptive editor several times at List of James Bond villains but the disruption has continued. I am contemplating filing for page protection but before I do can I get your thoughts at Talk:List_of_James_Bond_villains#Blofeld/Diamonds_Are_Forever please?
