Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Future of the Royal Navy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ministry of Defence (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.

I know you're a bot and all, but I fixed it. Antiochus the Great (talk) 01:36, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. --Hakan Erbaslar (talk) 12:48, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will add on a warning about edit warring - it takes two to tango so to speak, I know you believe the behaviour of Hakan is improper, but it's not acceptable to be edit warring. If you could in future raise issues such as these at WP:AN or similar to bring these issues to attention, in order that they may be resolved before page protection and the like becomes necessary.

Fair comment, but I was under the impression that exemptions are made in the case of obvious vandalism (as said here Wikipedia:Edit warring#3RR exemptions). Had the dispute been over a sentence or a paragraph as per usual edit warring then no, I would have refrained from engaging in reverting his edits, but blanking half an article? Anyway, thank you for help in dealing with the issue and yes, reflecting on the matter I should have brought the issue up with the admins sooner.

Hi, I've left a message at WP:AN, but in looking into how to resolve the dispute, I discovered the SIPRI data needed to update Table 2 is now available online (please see) http://www.sipri.org/research/armaments/milex/milex_database - The data there will allow Tables 1 and 2 to match, with up to date data which can be added to Table 2 matching the latest data in Table 1. If you and Hakan can confirm by updating Table 2 the dispute can be resolved amicably, I will unlock the page and allow both of you to resume editing. Nick (talk) 15:30, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
