Hello, Absolutely Certainly! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 22:09, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

I am new to making contributions here and was just testing the way Wikipedia works. I want to request its deletion according to the instructions above (add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text) but when I got to my sandbox there is no indication of where the draft begins and ends. Absolutely Certainly (talk) 20:58, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

I've deleted your sandbox for you. You don't need to know where the draft starts and finishes, adding {{Db-g7}} to the page will do. Nthep (talk) 21:07, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Can I add {{Db-g7}} anywhere on the page?

anywhere Absolutely Certainly (talk) 21:33, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Anywhere, but at the top is the normal. Nthep (talk) 06:01, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 10:36, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

June 2022

Hello, I'm Singularity42. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Singularity42 (talk) 20:38, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Nothing experimental. Applying the Wikipedia's MOS: " There are cases in which titles should not be in italics nor in quotation marks (though many are capitalized): Legal or constitutional documents: temporary restraining order, Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Bill of Rights". Does Wikipedia adhere to their MOS rules? Absolutely Certainly (talk) 22:50, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Please consult MOS:CANLAW. —Joeyconnick (talk) 23:03, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

(edit conflict)

1. First, you didn't just remove the italics in this edit. You removed the bolding from article's title in the lede, which is standard in Wikipedia's MOS. You also changed the word "Charter" to "CharCommand Piloter" for some reason. So yes, it needed to be reverted.
2. Someone added a reference to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms at MOS:TITLE without any knowledge of Canadian practices for citing legislation. This was discussed at the article's talk page and at WP:CANLAW. Maybe the consensus from those pages are wrong. If that is the case, you should discuss it at the article's talk page or at WP:CANLAW and see if there is a new consensus. Singularity42 (talk) 23:05, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I have now removed the reference to the Charter from MOS:TITLES to avoid further confusion as it conflicted with MOS:CANLAW. Singularity42 (talk) 23:10, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

First, I made a copy paste error for "CharCommand Piloter". No mention of "italics" at WP:CANLAW. Please explain? Absolutely Certainly (talk) 23:21, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

For what it is worth, what are the "Canadian practises for citing legislation"? Absolutely Certainly (talk) 23:26, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

From MOS:CANLAW: In Canada, per the McGill Guide, Act titles are italicized.. It's the McGill Guide that says how Canadian legislation and cases are displayed. Singularity42 (talk) 23:43, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Still don't see it. Try an written explanation of your viewpoint with references, Absolutely Certainly (talk) 23:48, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Absolutely Certainly! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Singularity42 (talk) 23:49, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
