Hello, I'm Signalizing. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Michael Tonkin, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Signalizing (talk) 18:57, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Michael Tonkin has been reverted, as it removed all content from the page without explanation. Please do not do this, as it is considered vandalism; instead, use the sandbox for testing. If you think the page should be deleted, see here for what to do. Thank you. Lugia2453 (talk) 21:17, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for reaching out to me, and for clarifying your intentions. I have placed an under construction template on Michael Tonkin, so that other editors know you're doing major work on the article. I appreciate your enthusiasm to improving our baseball coverage. I'd encourage you to try our tutorial, to hone your skills as an editor. If you're interested in baseball, you may be interested to know that we have a working group of editors that focuses on Baseball, which we like to call WikiProjects. Not only are they more than willing to help you hone your article, but if you'd like to help Wikipedia's baseball coverage, they could definitely use an extra editor's assistance. Finally, one of the key policies I'd like to caution you on as your write this article is our notability policy for baseball players. If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to reach out to me. Also, welcome to Wikipedia! Signalizing (talk) 13:45, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of deaths from drug overdose and intoxication, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. General Ization ^Talk 03:51, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your good faith edit but this subject's obituary indicates he was born in 1936, not 1938. Quis separabit? 23:04, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! 32.218.40.105 (talk) 03:00, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

August 2017

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Rob Pilatus, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 20:41, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Please stop

Please stop changing content on Wikipedia without adding a reference to support your changes, like you have been doing at List of deaths from drug overdose and intoxication here [1], here [2] and here[3]. Whether your information is correct or not is irrelevant. If you wish to make changes, you will need to provide reliable sources to support your claims.

Please also start using edit summaries; you have already been told to do this. Freikorp (talk) 09:35, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure what it was about the above message that you did not understand. You cannot change information in the List of deaths from drug overdose and intoxication without providing a reliable source like you have done again here :[4]. Even if Chet did say he would kill himself on stage, that's not a reliable indicator that his death was accidental. He could have changed his mind. In any case, whether you are correct or not is irrelevant. You need a reliable source. Please do not make any further edits to this list unless you find a reliable source to support your claims. Damien Linnane (talk) 09:34, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

List of oldest living Major League Baseball players

Please stop adding more players to the hidden list. There are many reasons for this, among them WP:SIZE. Please use the talk page for further discussion — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.246.129.15 (talk) 02:58, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Namiba. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Mark Belanger, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so!

Hello CRussG!

Just today, I read your message posted on March 30. Due to some personal circumstances, I decided to take a break from Wikipedia, beginning in mid-March and probably lasting at least a month. In the meantime, I hope to check in occasionally to do some minor and check my talkpage. I hope to return as soon as possible to continue my contributions. Thanks for your attention. MusiCitizen (talk) 13:39, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

I noticed your recent change to Mari-Rae Sopper, noting that she "...was born here according to the 9/11 memorial". Do you have a link to demonstrate this? Thanks, GauchoDude (talk) 23:11, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Clay Buchholz. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:44, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Christopher Amoroso, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New York (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Timeline for the day of the September 11 attacks. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You have been warned previously for inserting unsourced/unreferenced material to articles. David J Johnson (talk) 11:29, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Toddst1 (talk) 23:25, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

This is your last warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Greg Page (musician) ‎, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Carolyn Beug

Hi. I have reverted your addition of uncited material to the Carolyn Beug article. Since you have already been given a last warning violating Wikipedia's No Original Research, Verifiability or Reliable Sources policies by adding uncited material to articles, I'm leaving you this message to let you know that an appropriate administrator will be notified of it. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 00:02, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello. Since you have continued to add uncited material to articles, as with your most recent edit to Carolyn Beug, and have ignored the numerous warnings left here going back to at least as far back as 2017 (despite having accumulated well over 13,000 edits here since 2013), I wanted to let you know that I will notify an administrator regading your repeatedly violations of Wikipedia's policies. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 18:48, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Can you please add your references to George Foss (baseball)? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 06:45, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, can you please add your references? 'External links' just means 'suggestions for further reading'; what were your sources? Boleyn (talk) 16:47, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Can you please respond? WP:Communication is required. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

George Foss (baseball) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, George Foss (baseball), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Boleyn (talk) 14:19, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

George Foss (baseball)

Hello, CRussG. I moved the above article to draftspace as part of New Page Patrol. We do this when a topic has merit (a an MLB player, he should have an article) but it doesn't yet meet the requirements for the mainspace. In this case, it is a biography of a living person with no references, so would be at risk of being proposed for deletion. It is a requirement that biographies of living people have WP:INLINECITED references. This only has 'external links' which means 'suggestions for further reading' and doesn't tell us what your sources were for sure. You moved it back to the mainspace with no attempt to fix the identified problem. Could you now please fix it? Before moving it, I sent you a message (which you ignored) giving you extra time to solve the issue. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 08:45, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Communication

Hello, can you please respond to my messages at User talk:CRussG#References? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 10:26, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

CRussG, please be aware that WP:Communication is required, as part of the policies WP:DISPUTE and WP:CONDUCT. Please respond to the above messages. Boleyn (talk) 21:09, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Preview and consolidate, summarize

Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:

• Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
  • The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
• Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric ^talk 00:00, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Mel Stottlemyre obituary

Hi CRG. Thanks for your suggestion regarding this topic. I simply added some omissions and rewrote the text content. Have you a good day. MusiCitizen (talk) 18:08, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Communication and references

In 6 years you have never responded to a message from another editor. This is a collaborative project - we need to talk to each other at times. WP:Communication is required, it is a key element of the policies WP:CONDUCT and WP:DISPUTE.

Referencing is also really important. Can you please respond to my messages at User_talk:CRussG#References. Boleyn (talk) 17:10, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

I've had problems with this editor changing referenced content over at List of deaths from drug overdose and intoxication for years without providing any sources to support their claims.

CRussG, this has continued long enough that it may now need to go to WP:ANI. Can you please respond to my messages - I am trying to work with you. Boleyn (talk) 06:29, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

In addition to Wikipedia's basic principle of citing sources (Wikipedia:Citing sources), a special need for citations applies with regard to elements of a biography of a living person (WP:BLPPRIVACY). Feel free to add a date of birth when it is accompanied by a citation to a reliable, published source. Eddie Blick (talk) 03:44, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

I found their birth years on their IMDb pages.

Thank you for getting back to me. CRussG (talk) 04:17, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately, IMDb is not a reliable source for use as a citation in Wikipedia articles. Please see WP:IMDB. You might also want to look at WP:USERGENERATED for names of some other websites that are similarly not valid sources. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:15, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

CRussG, I really don't like the idea of final final warnings. It turns Wikipedia into some kind of absurdist joke about bureaucracies. But, as pointed out on my talk page, you've got a talk page full of warnings. If you have questions about when to source content, you can consult other editors on an article's talk page, or you could ask at one of our noticeboards, such as the help desk or Teahouse. If you have questions as to whether sources are reliable, you can raise them at the reliable sources noticeboard. As you can see Wikipedia has places where you can communicate and seek advice; this is an important part of editing Wikipedia. If you refuse to communicate, ignore warnings, and continue to add poorly sourced or unsourced content, you'll simply be blocked from editing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:54, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm now aware of this. CRussG (talk) 20:43, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

You were made aware of it in April 2017. And yet you continued to add uncited content many times subsequent to that, including in August 2018, when I first contacted you about your addition of uncited content to Carolyn Beug, and again many times after that, right up until four days ago, when you again added uncited info to that very same article. I'm not trying to turn the screw here, but the rest of the editing community here would be appreciative if you acknowledged these attempts to communicate with you, and ceased that behavior. Thank you very much, and have a safe and Happy New Year. Nightscream (talk) 23:18, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to The Magnificent Ambersons (film), please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello CRussG!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!
