What should I clarify the lead section and short description for "Flag of the United Kingdom"? 49.150.13.247 (talk) 22:16, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also as per Wikipedia talk:Short description#"National flag" as short description for flag articles of UN member states. 49.150.13.247 (talk) 22:41, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thrakkx. I do believe you have made a mistake in choosing to revert my edits on the page listed above. The edits do not substantively change the page, just standardize this name list page with others, such as Brady (given name), Austin (given name), etc. Additionally, my edits added new Liams that were not listed already, and removed Liams that did not have individual articles. I do not see why this warranted reversion as, again, the content itself did not change. Thanks, Debartolo2917 (talk) 17:50, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Debartolo2917: You completely changed the article. You removed all of the ((annotated link)) templates and replaced them with custom-defined short descriptions, which necessitate tons of manual work. You changed all of the level 2 headings to level 3 headings and added a new level 2 heading People with the surname "Liam" include, though "surname" is incorrect in this case because this article is for first names, not last names. You overrode the default table of contents, which makes it harder to navigate the article when using the default Vector 2022 skin. You removed all of the names under "See also" which were relevant to the article. You moved all of the fictional character Liams to their own section. While you did add missing Liams and remove Liams whose articles were deleted, you sandwiched them inside these massively unproductive and unannounced revisions. So when you said again, the content itself did not change, that was absolutely not true. Please build consensus before completely rewriting an article that other editors have worked hard on, and that includes revisions in the name of standardization. By the way, I'd be interested to see written documentation of this standardized format you claim to be using. Thrakkx (talk) 00:02, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted a proposal to the article's talk page — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:17, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ: You're not the same person. What's happening? Thrakkx (talk) 21:42, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course I'm not the same person! Why can't two people take an interest in the same article? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:52, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
