Calgary Highlanders

You really fucked up the page on the Highlanders by your revert, since there had been more edits to the page after the move, which you then zapped with a speedy delete. Any chance you will go back and fix what you've broken? The deleted page would need to be resurrected in order to capture the edits made in the interim. In particular the lineage chart is out of whack.

It's amazing how much useless bureaucracy has pervaded Wikipedia - I don't think the people who edit here as a lifestyle realize how much damage you do by turning people off of contributing. The edit history will show how long I spent sweating on getting the chart just right as I struggled to figure out the formatting (or would do if not for the speedy delete) - and now with a poorly thought out revert it's almost back to square one. Shit like this is exactly what turns people off of editing WP.Michael Dorosh (talk) 15:05, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

All of your interactions on Wikipedia must be civil. I don't appreciate you starting a conversation with [y]ou really fucked up. To use your own phrasing, you really "fucked up" in the first place by copying and pasting the article to another page rather than moving the article properly. There have been 575 edits to Calgary Highlanders over the years by dozens of contributors, and by copying and pasting the article you would have effectively erased the attribution to those editors. This is why there is a well established, easy to follow process for moving pages, in order to maintain attribution to all of the past contributors. Wikipedia are required under copyright law to properly attribute all of the contributors to its articles and the page move policy must be properly followed at all times.

I am sorry that you have lost some of your work, and I appreciate how long it can take working to get formatting just right, but it is also not my fault that I followed policy and applied a CSD6 tag after noticing an improper copy-and-paste move.

I did not delete the page Calgary Highlanders (10th Canadians). This was done by The JPS. They may be able to assist you with recovering the deleted edits - I cannot as I am not an administrator - but I recommend reaching out to them with far more civility than you did here if you expect assistance.
