Thanks for the catch on vandalism.

Hi,

I noticed that you caught the RSS (file format) vandalism. Good job! Folajimi^(talk)

Liege lords

Thanks for your catch on Nobunaga being Hideyoshi's lord and not the other way around. However, if "liege" means vassal, then why are we so used to seeing (in films, etc) retainers and subjects refer to their lords as "My liege"? According to Wikitionary, the word in fact has both meanings - a lord or sovereign, as well as his subject. Thanks. LordAmeth 22:10, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Yamla. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Elizabeth Holmes, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! --Yamla (talk) 21:31, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Elizabeth Holmes. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges.

Please read the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle explanatory supplement. You have been invited to discuss your reverted edits at Talk:Elizabeth Holmes. Please participate in obtaining consensus. Peaceray (talk) 22:44, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Peaceray, I'm aware - I 've stated my piece on the Talk:Elizabeth Holmes page and have agreed to cede to consensus. You'll note that I stopped at three edits. Also, thanks for the welcome, but my first edit on Wikipedia was in 2004. Have a nice day.Bigtrick (talk) 22:53, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
