Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Bryan Adams. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. See MOS:HASH. General Ization ^Talk 20:10, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to List of time travel works of fiction. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Not sure why you removed the description of Safety Not Guaranteed as a comedy when the article for the film describes it literally in that manner.

"do not introduce incorrect information"? "vandalism"? Wow. That 's a remarkably uncivil and antagonistic accusation of bad faith to begin a discussion over what amounts to a difference of opinion. I would expect an experienced Wikipedia editor to be better than that. 173.15.229.22 (talk) 18:19, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

It's not a matter of opinion. Reliable sources and the article for the film itself describe it as a comedy film. Did you have any basis for removing that description other than that you don't personally consider the film to be a comedy?

Also, re-read the statement. It says your edits "could be interpreted as vandalism" and asks that you please do not introduce incorrect information into articles. Additionally the comment I added at the end, IMO at least, makes it pretty clear that I'd just like to know what your motivation was. If you have a concern with the bulk of the message, as it's a standard notice, I would recommend you discuss the possibility of having it reworded.

I'll ask again: do you have any basis for having removed the word "comedy" from the description of the film other than that it's your personal opinion that the film isn't a comedy? Can you provide one or more sources that primarily describe the film as belonging to a different genre, as requested in the original message? DonIago (talk) 19:13, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Don't blame the poorly chosen insulting template for the fact that you chose it to be insulting. 173.15.229.22 (talk) 04:32, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Think I'm done here. I recommend you review WP:AGF, and if you have an issue with the template wording, bring it up at WT:UW. DonIago (talk) 05:24, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
