Hello, I noticed that on the summer 2016 Olympics page it says "Winter Olympics" in the first paragraph. This is obviously a mistake. I do not have access to edit this so I hope that someone who is a senior wikipedia editor sees this is and is able to change it to "Summer Olympics" for that year. --MrMike413 (talk) 02:52, 16 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

December 2016 edit

  Hello, I'm Laser brain. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Synthesizer without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Laser brain (talk) 23:13, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply


Hello Laserbrain. I edited the section back to where I first edited it the first time(the synthesizer section) because I have knowledge in this area and know that the way I changed it to is incorrect. I explained it the second time. If you have any further questions please contact me.

Disambiguation link notification for April 29 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of progressive rock artists, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Magic Pie. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:13, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

There was no official wikipedia page for that particular artist. The link was the default page for that name. --MrMike413 (talk) 02:53, 16 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

I recently tried to update a page but I accidentally deleted some previous content. I tried to do the whole thing over again but was not able to properly restore what I deleted. I would like some assistance with this. Please get back to me and I will give more details.

MrMike413, it's hard to give you assistance when you don't say what article this is about. But I recommend that you move this section to the bottom of this page (the normal place to put new talk page sections), as that's where potential helpers are likely to look for it. Maproom (talk) 21:53, 1 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure what you mean by move it to the bottom since there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to post this. The only thing I could think of would be to delete all the old posts(which I do not know how to do anyway). Even if I did that there would still be posts at the bottom that aren't ones I created.

I've moved it to the bottom of the page for you. Maproom (talk) 07:09, 2 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
MrMike, new sections of a talk page generally go, as Maproom says, at the bottom of talk pages such as this. This happens automatically when you use the "New section" tab at the top of the page next to the "Edit" tab. If you want to link to a Wikipedia article, it's generally as simple as putting the page name in double square brackets in the edit window, [[Like this]]. Wikipedia software automatically creates the link behind the scenes. If you do that here, then we will know which article you need help with. I hope this helps.

Ok, I will try to pay attention to that in the future. Anyway, to the issue at hand, what I did was try to edit the television section for musician Trevor Rabin on his page. I wanted to add the latest one(which I did)but in doing so I accidentally deleted most of it and had to re enter that information again. However, when I did this I was unable to add the link that directs to the page of those tv shows(that he did the soundtracks for)that was mentioned and so that's why they appear in red and not blue. I couldn't figure it out(despite having done it before successfully)and so that is what I was requesting help with. If someone wants to redo it that's fine by me as long as they include the latest one(2020)which, however, does not have a page.

Ok, it's fixed. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, walk in, sing a bar of Alice's Restaurant, and walk out you can usually use the "View history" tab to undo your changes. I hope this helps. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:44, 2 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

02:42, 8 October 2020 (UTC)MrMike413 (talk)== October 2020 ==   Hello, I'm Andrewgprout. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Big Big Train, 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. While this is true - you have to provide a reference for such detail Andrewgprout (talk) 01:31, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

I just added it back on. It hasn't been listed on the band's website yet but it was mentioned on their mailing list so I used that as the source. However, there was only a place for one. If you look at the source you will see that it applies to both. MrMike413 (talk) 02:42, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
