3 revert violation

You have reverted the page 2011 Wimbledon Championships 5x by my count in a matter of minutes. I suggest you self revert yourself quickly before an administrator blocks you. You have done this with this account and your alias 82.1.185.145 ip. Consider this a friendly warning. I also anwered you as to the proper steps on my own talk page but to repeat... I did not say it was the preferred version. You kept writing that it was incorrect, and that is false. The preferred spelling I learned was actually Quarter-final but they are all correct and I think I have seen all versions throughout wikipedia. However once something is reverted or contested protocol is to leave it as it was originally and bring it up on the talk page for all editors to weigh in. And it is absolutely FORBIDDEN on wikipedia to revert something more that 3x in 24 hours. You will be blocked by the administration regardless on whether you are right or wrong. You won't be able to edit at all. I did not report you but gave out a warning instead in the summary. I hope that explains why I reverted you and told you to bring it up on the talk page. Thanks.

Ok, I understand what you are saying but I still don't see why you had to repeatedly undo my changes when what I had altered was correct. You may disagree with my comment that it was incorrect but there was no need to undo what I had changed. Thank you for the warning rather than blocking me. I reverted because I did not understand why you undid all my hard work. I wasn't aware that I was not logged in - that is why I made the 1st attempts under my IP then later ones under my username. I apologise that I am not au fait with the protocol but I am still annoyed that you couldn't just leave my updates alone. (talk ) —Preceding undated comment added 10:57, 4 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]

I do not have the authority to block you, that is an administrators job. I could see you were new so I wasn't going to do anything rash. It doesn't matter what is right or wrong here, it matters what can be sourced. I noticed you made 4 or 5 reverts in an edit war with someone named Prunesqualer and that you were going to get yourself in trouble. Policy here is to "be bold" but if someone questions you by reverting you should bring it up on talk pages before adding it again. You kept saying the spelling was wrong. I quickly checked two dictionaries and they both showed that you were wrong. Quarterfinal is a legal word. It may not be the spelling of choice but it is legal which you said it wasn't... so I reverted your edit war back to the beginning and told you to take it to talk. You then reverted me, I warned your user page and told you to self revert lest you get blocked. That's how I see it. I hope that helps. Fyunck(click) (talk) 17:28, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quarter finals

I have posted reply to your last comment at WP:Reference desk/Language, because I didn't want to discourage you too much from pursuing your enquiry. I don't want the Manual of Style dictating every possible variation in the English language, but it might still be quite useful to know if and how the Manual or Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports has considered the issue in the past, or if there's some prevailing practice (such as following the sources). Best wishes. —— Shakescene (talk) 02:56, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Australian Paralympics pages?

Hello FingersLily, I saw your message on the Paralympics project page, "I'm new to all this but I am willing to help out in any way I can. I am passionate about all sport & have a particular interest in Paralympics". I'm wondering if I might entice you into assisting us create and edit Wikipedia articles about Australia and the Paralympics? We have the support of the Australian Paralympic Committee, who have already released a number of images on Wikimedia Commons that should help pretty up a few pages, and a great many more images and other media is in the pipe for release. If you create new articles, we have a small team who like to crowd around that new article and assist in trying to get it onto the Wikipedia front page, under the "Did You Know" section. We also have someone embedded at the National Sport Information Centre, assisting in the sourcing and release of information and media to compliment any new articles created. You can find out more about this project at hopau.ucniss.net. Hope to see you around, or hear from you. We'd sure appreciate some help. Leighblackall (talk) 00:56, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2014–15 Stevenage F.C. season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Steve Arnold (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
