Some notes for me on templates:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category

whenever a template is edited, all the pages that transclude it are put into the job queue to be recached during periods of low server load (but see The Mediawiki Manual, which appears to contradict this, emptying the queue only at periods of high server load). This means that, in busy periods, it may take hours or even days before individual pages are recached and they start to appear in the category list. Performing a null edit to a page will allow it to 'jump the queue' and be immediately recached.

If it is necessary to add the template itself to the category page as well, the 'includeonly' tags can be omitted, but this is generally not desired.

April 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gary Taubes. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Alexbrn (talk) 18:02, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Stalking?

Is it just a coincidence that out of the six million articles on Wikipedia, pretty much the first edits you make after several month's hiatus, and after attacking me[1] happen to be edit-warring on an article I've been active on, and which you have never edited[2] before now? Because it certainly smells fishy. Alexbrn (talk) 18:03, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

This accusation of stalking is completely inappropriate and bizarre. The above editor has a habit of inflammatory phrasing, edit warring with many people, and has been disciplined multiple times. I was engaged in a discussion regarding dietary standards, when I was drawn to the poor language. I was not aware of his participation on the article until after I made the correction. The coincidence must come from the full time multi-year editing of the other editor.

Hard to believe. And you've examined my editing behaviour have you? The evidence mounts. Alexbrn (talk) 18:14, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
