A reference problem edit

Hi! Some users have been working hard on Category:Pages with broken reference names.

Here you added a new reference <ref name="BCC archives"/> <ref name="UB archives"/> but didn't define it. This has been showing as an error at the bottom of the article. "Cite error: The named reference REFNAME was invoked but never defined (see the help page)." Can you take a look and work out what you were trying to do? Thanks -- Frze > talk 13:30, 31 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Baltimore News-American edit

Hi Duane, welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your edits! The trouble is you are not citing any references or sources, or giving reasons for any of your edits. Unsourced and unexplained edits tend to get reverted, because there is no way or verifying whether or not any of it is true. Do read these pages:

Baltimore City College edit

Hi Duane, I read your recent contributions to the Baltimore City College and while I find the more detailed history of some of the early buildings interesting, the descriptions tend to diverge from the actual purpose of the article. Several editors, including myself, several years ago worked to bring the article to featured article status. One of the criticisms we had to overcome was that the article was too long. Your edits increased the length of the Baltimore City College article from roughly 70,000 bytes to 85,000 bytes without making references to Baltimore City College itself. I hope this note is helpful in provdiing some insight as to why the edits were reverted.«Marylandstater» «reply» 17:42, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Education in the United States; and many others, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. You seem to be operating to a different drummer, which is fine, but before additional edits, you really need to fix the wide-spread errors you have introduced into numerous articles. Slowdown and read some of the guides that have been provided to you. Sorry to sound harsh, but if you continue to break article styles, adding capitalization and other grammatical errors into multiple articles, your editing privileges will be suspended or blocked. If you need guidance, I can help guide you. Thanks. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 09:16, 8 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Daniel Ullman. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators can block users from editing if they repeatedly vandalize. Thank you. Disruptive: Introduction of non-sourced minutiae and opinion; weasel wording; grammatical errors and punctuation; soo; over-linking; link-breaking. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 19:14, 8 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Extraneous information and formatting edit

Thank you for your edits to Education in the United States.

The text of an article should really be directly relevant to that particular topic. I have removed some extraneous information you added; for example, we don't need to know detailed information about a promoter of an education amendment (Blaine) -- that's what links are for. Anyone who is interested can just click to find out more.

Also, capitalization is reserved for proper nouns. The states of the United States, a federal tax is imposed by the Federal Government.

I hope this is helpful! HGilbert (talk) 21:34, 8 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

I notice that your latest edit (to John Boynton Philip Clayton Hill) has a problematic Wikilink. Perhaps you can fix this, and -- as many of your edits have had problems with Wikiformatting -- I strongly recommend using the Show Preview button before saving a page; you will then be able to review your work first.

Warning edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Thomas Sumter, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 17:58, 10 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Robert Oliver, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Although I believe you are trying to do good, your edits are becoming disruptive; too numerous to fix; and therefore must cease; you are breaking WMoS; you are breaking templates; you are breaking info-boxes and REFUSING to fix your own messes or discuss. This is, unfortunately, going to have to go to administrative intervention, as you are harming the project. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 05:06, 12 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Somerset County edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Quasi-War. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing.

Final Warning edit

  This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Montgomery C. Meigs, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Your continued editing of multiple articles, leaving scores of broken templates and brackets; and additions of off-topic trivia, life-span dates, and over-linking in your wake amounts at this point to vandalism. Your refusal to discuss any of this with me (or any of the several other editors who have been correcting your damage) is further indication of a basic non-caring attitude towards the articles you, on the surface, seem want to help, but which, in reality, you are damaging. You really, really need to educate yourself about what proper encyclopedic content is. The first step to that is discussing this issue with those that can help you Further refusal to do so WILL RESULT IN AN ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW. Sorry it has come to this. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 22:38, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

I've come here as a result of a report at the Administrators' noticeboard for reporting vandalism. Unlike GenQuest, I don't see your edits as vandalism per se, and so I'm not going to block your account at this time. However, your editing, whilst presumably well-intentioned, is causing a lot of work for other Wikipedia users, and is becoming disruptive. Could I therefore please ask that you refrain from adding technical markup elements (such as wikilinks to articles for the time being, and that you discuss any potentially controversial changes in wording on article talkpages before implementing them. If your current pattern of editing persists, you will be blocked from editing in order to protect the encyclopedia. Yunshui  12:54, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

You may not wish to communicate with other editors, but I'm afraid that collaborative editing is a core element of Wikipedia - if you aren't willing to discuss your edits or refrain from introducing inappropriate markup, then your presence here is more disruptive than productive. As a result, I have blocked your account again, for a week this time: if, after the expiry of this block you continue to edit in the same manner you will be blocked for increasing periods of time, culminating in an indefinite block. Please - communicate. It's the only way that you're going to be able to continue editing here. Yunshui  10:38, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppet investigation edit

 

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Duane E. Tressler, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

LorChat 03:20, 11 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Me again. Whilst I don't think you've been deliberately engaging in sockpuppetry, it does look remarkably as though you've been editing whilst logged out - please don't do that. I also note that you have continued to make changes with no regard for Wikipedia's Manual of Style or the opinions of other editors. This needs to stop, now. The next block that comes your way is liable to be of indefinite duration (and will also prevent logged-out editing); I'd prefer not to see that happen but you need to start working with the community and abiding by its guidelines right now if you want to avoid it. We are here to help, and we're happy to do so, but stubbornly ploughing your own furrow and ignoring everyone who tells you to do otherwise is not going to work here.

Hi there.

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

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead.

There is something to be said for brevity when editing Wikipedia. The nature of the encyclopedia means readers can follow a wikilink to learn more information about a subject. For instance, on Kansas, is it really necessary to describe the Missouri River as "one of the major continental tributaries of the Mississippi River Valley and its "Father of Waters", the Mississippi River itself, draining into the Gulf of Mexico through New Orleans", when any reader could follow the link to the Missouri River article and find that information out there? This is an article on Kansas and doesn't need undue information on the Mississippi, which doesn't even run through the state. Just a thought. clpo13(talk) 05:50, 27 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Please stop adding:

  • non-encyclopedic life-span dates to people and events mentioned in articles, per MoS;
  • tangential and excessive coat racked information to articles better found through the blue links (these are causing overly long, run-on, and often confusing sentence structures in your additions);
  • edits with no edit summary (please see below).

These additions are becoming disruptive to the encyclopedia, and I remind you that you have been advised of this in the past. Please re-visit the Manual of Style link for guidance with these issues. If you think I can help you be a better editor, please feel free to ask. Regards, GenQuest "Talk to Me" 08:49, 27 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Edit summaries edit

 

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)

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead.

  Hello, I'm GenQuest. I noticed that you made a comment on the page [[:User talk:Chewings72 & User talk:Bbb23]] that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. This is a community here. Let's keep it civil. If you don't understand the basic encyclopedic writing style, please review the Wikipedia Manual of Style. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 09:34, 27 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • I was considering blocking you per WP:NOTHERE, but you are actually here to improve the encyclopedia--you're just not doing it. I found, in a brief investigation, plenty of negatives. In this personal attack, besides the violation of WP:NPA, you say someone is "almost as bad as the automatic software machine "bracket-bot"". Well, that BracketBot left a million messages on this talk pages, and every single one I looked at signaled a problem that was subsequently solved by other editors. Why you don't follow up on those things is a mystery to me, but creating work for other editors is typically frowned upon, and you did that so many times that it's hard to believe. Then, you've been asked to be less wordy, to stick to the topic, and yet all your recent edits suffer from that same loquacity, reason enough for your edits to be reverted on Original six frigates of the United States Navy, Naval Act of 1794, United States Congress, The Day of the Jackal (film), USS Congress (1799), Louisiana, and The African Queen (film) (what you did to the lede of that last article brought tears to my eyes). Those reverts were done by at least three different editors using similar arguments, indicating broad consensus that your edits were severely problematic. Considering that warnings and blocks for this behavior go back at least a year and a half (I invoke the hallowed name of Yunshui), I have no other choice than to protect the project and block you, though I do so with a heavy heart.
