:Hi Dannyboybaby1234. I come to your talk page from the post to Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents that Pyrrhus16 linked above. Thank you for creating that page a few weeks ago. It's only natural to feel some sense of ownership of something you created, but Wikipedia does not work that way. On Wikipedia, "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then [you should] not submit it here." (It's at the bottom of the editing window when you click "edit this page".) No one has [[Wikipedia:Ownership of articles|ownership of articles]] on Wikipedia. Not you, not Pyrrhus16. Wikipedia is a collaborative project to produce articles. We follow the [[WP:BRD|bold, revert, discuss cycle]]. You and Pyrrhus16 have already gone through being bold and reverting each other, so now we're at the '''discussion''' part.

:You two seem to have two principal disputes. One is [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Aaron_Livesy&diff=355327781&oldid=355327555 capitals in section headers]. Wikipedia's house style, found at [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Section_headings]], is to just capitalize the first word. If you're not happy with the house style, then the solution is to suggest a change. In this case, I think a change is unlikely. This convention has been around a long time. Changing it would require changing 3 million pages. That's not going to happen without a good reason. Your [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Aaron_Livesy&diff=355326716&oldid=355326479 second dispute] is about whether "fancying" is good prose in the section header. That issue is less clear and could benefit from some discussion at [[Talk:Aaron Livesy]]. In any case, you should stop [[WP:EW|edit-warring]] on the article and start discussing this or any other disputes on the talk page. Thank you.--[[User:Chaser|Chaser]] ([[User talk:Chaser|talk]]) 16:20, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
