Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to David Lloyd George has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 22:50, 6 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Sir George Young, 6th Baronet 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 article's 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.

Bt postnominal

The postnominal "Bt" is not used when the baronet is also a peer. I notice you've made several edits recently that include this error. Opera hat (talk) 23:45, 6 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Susan Williams, Baroness Williams of Trafford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Marcus Jones (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.

Endashes

Hello.

Thanks for adding the styles sections to various nobility articles. I'd just like to point out to you that per MOS:DATERANGE, year ranges are separated by an endash (–), not a hyphen (-).

Thank you.

Hello again.
I'm afraid you've misread MOS:DATERANGE above. There should be no spaces – non-breaking or otherwise – in year ranges. Year ranges should be like 1897–1904, nothing else. If months are involved, there should be spaces, e.g. October 1897 – February 1904. In the latter example, there could be a non-breaking space, but not in the former example.
Please read through the guideline again, paying particular attention to the examples, before you continue. Or it will be too much for other editors to correct.
Thank you. (If you want to answer, please do it here to keep the conversation in one place.)
