Alternating Primary Residence?

Userfied from talk:fathers' rights movement

It just occured to me that if one person was given Sole Custody (other than because the other parent was rotten) or both given Joint Physical Custody, why does this have to stay that way until 18 or 19 years old? Why couldn't the courts alternate the years for Primary Residence? Especially in the case of those with nearly 50% custody, changing primary residence would hardly impact anything unless they are older kids and you live outside the school district.

APPEAL TO YOU Reg: [BRAHMAN PUJAN] , [UNIVERSAL PRAYERS] . written by [Naresh Sonee] On wikipedia , These above two pages are far older than the present article [Brahman] References of above titles are also available on New York site - http://www.printsasia.com/BookDetails.aspx?Id=445813482 Meanwhile, Can your good selves in Wiki Project Indian Community re-create a precise pages on [Naresh Sonee] & his book [Brahmand Pujan] – [Brahmaand Pujan] . However, Sonee is the writer of this book [Brahmand Pujan] written in 1999 . registered with Government of India- HRRD. Details of the registration is provided here on http://brhmaandpujanbook.tripod.com/ . More than sufficient, news and reviews are there on http://brhmaandpujan-news-reviews.tripod.com/ Since 5-6 yrs, for one or the other reason pages of [Naresh Sonee] & [Brahmand Pujan] are faced by communal bias from outside India so these articles over and again get deleted here in Wikipedia for minor reasons. However, many hits of - Naresh Sonee reflects on google search engine also. So, I request Wiki Indian community to kindly come forward and generously help these two pages to grow, as I am fed up to fight my case alone here [left] and moved out long back. Meanwhile, such an important info/issue on ‘Indian literature’ which adds & spell ‘new meaning /dimension’ to Brahman -should it stay lost else ignored? Your community panel has to judge at last. Myself, will not be on Wikipedia, for the same i apologise, but- pls. help these two pages to get reinstalled, reap, sow and grow, if you too feel so, I appeal to do this munificent favour.

Your recent edit to the page Duke lacrosse case appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in this encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite the references or sources or before making the changes, discuss them on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for any tests that you wish to make. Do take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you.

In particular, I point out this edit, where you changed the title of an article that is used in a reference. Titles of articles, as well as direct quotations, must be preserved verbatim. (Note: while the edit in question was made by an unregistered account, a comparison of the edit summary to your succeeding edit indicates that both edits were made by you.) —C.Fred (talk) 01:03, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Royce Gracie

You were on the talk page of Royce Gracie discussing his match with Harold Howard. I was wondering if you could place your opinion so that a consensus can finally be reached. Thank you. CrazyAces489 (talk) 03:39, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

March 2018

Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Heracles, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. You appear to be removing content about sexuality on a variety of articles. Wikipedia is for all users, not individuals tailored beliefs. Please form a consensus on the respective talk pages before making these mass changes. — IVORK _Discuss 00:49, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

July 2018

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Family structure in the United States. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. What are you doing? You undid more than one year of edits to your last version with the summary "don't troll edit", and you call that a minor edit? Meters (talk) 20:33, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Jessica Aguilar, you may be blocked from editing. You have already been warned about making these types of edits concerning sexuality. And again, these are not minor edits. Read WP:MINOR Meters (talk) 20:39, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in I Love Lucy, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please read MOS:TVNOW for more details. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 08:07, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
