Wikipedia:Non-free content policy and guideline edit

Please do not place or replace any non-free images to any pages except for actual articles, as you did at Template:France Télévisions. Such use is a clear violation of point number 9 of our policy concerning the use of non-free images. Continuing to do so can be viewed as disruptive behaviour and you may be blocked from editing.

Not supplying an edit summary for your revert edit

Hello

Please supply an edit summary for every revert, unless it is a non-controversial revert of vandalism. In addition, reverts, in case of content dispute should not be marked as minor.

As for this edit in Windows 8, template {{Windows 8}} is already integrated in infobox. There is no need to use it again. It is for the other articles of the series only.

Best regards,

June 2013 edit

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Kompas TV may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • * ''LOL :-)''

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 05:37, 28 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Edit warring edit

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Fleet Command (talk) 19:56, 30 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Distinguish template edit

Note that I have reverted your use of the {{distinguish}} template at Jesse McCartney. The template is meant to be used to help readers differentiate between two (or more) very similar spelled or sounding names (e.g. Jessie McCartney). I cannot imagine how a reader could ever confuse the two other than the fact that their given name startes with 'J' (Jesse and Jenette are too dissimilar) and their surname begins with "Mc". --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 15:37, 31 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Similarly, readers are unlikely to confuse Miranda Cosgrove with Miranda Lambert. - SummerPhD (talk) 17:09, 12 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Please stop using the {{distinguish}} template disruptively, as you did, yet again, here. Yes, there are people with the same first name. In fact, there are lots of them. We do not add this template in those cases. We use it when names are similar enough that people are likely to be confused. "Ashley Tisdale" is no where near similar to "Ashley Greene". "George W. Bush" and "George H. W. Bush", OTOH, are easily confused. If you do not understand this, please stop using the template and ask for help. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:14, 21 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

September 2013 edit

  Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Template:Microsoft Office: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 15:19, 20 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Talkback edit

 
Hello, Pai Walisongo. You have new messages at Talk:Winx Club.
Message added 22:51, 22 September 2013 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Unsourced alias edit

You added a new alias to the infobox of Jennette McCurdy but provided no sourcing for it. If the alias warrants being mentioned in the infobox, it should be sourced. Really, it should be mentioned somewhere else in the article when talking about the work she performed under the alias. —C.Fred (talk) 22:27, 12 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Your nonconstructive reverts at SuicideGirls edit

Twice you have replaced a block of text at this article that, on top of being pretty clear POV soapboxing, was expressly sourced to "eyewitness account" (i.e., WP:OR). And you blandly accused the removing editors of "blanking." You're not paying close enough attention, and obviously not reading the edit summaries of the edits that removed the text. Try harder. postdlf (talk) 16:00, 14 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

And it looks like this is not the only time you've done this... That edit you reverted at Taxicab as "blanking" was reasonable with a reasonable edit summary (regardless of whether you agree with it), and the removed paragraph was largely incoherent. It is inappropriate to label such edits as "blanking," which is a form of vandalism, and it is a misuse of Twinkle to apply it to an edit just because it removed text without regard to the merits of that removal. postdlf (talk) 16:08, 14 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

October 2013 edit

  Hello, I'm 117Avenue. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Disney XD, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed 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. 117Avenue (talk) 03:37, 18 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at User talk:Louis Erisson, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please read Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. He gave an explanation for the content he removed. Discuss the issue with him or give a better reason than "blanking" for the revert and vandalism warning if you think the content removal was in bad faith. Geraldo Perez (talk) 15:45, 22 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Pai, as I noted above, this is a continuing problem with you. And you have yet to respond to any of these concerns here; you have never even made a talk page comment that isn't automated. You need to start discussing this issue and how you will improve. Abuse of editing tools may result in them being taken away. postdlf (talk) 15:59, 22 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Discussion at Talk:Sarah Azhari edit

 

 I invite you to please join the discussion at Talk:Sarah Azhari.

Hello, we are seeking help with the Sarah Azhari article, created in 2013 & recently the subject of a deletion proposal. At issue was whether or not the Indonesian language sources establish notability. I am inviting you to the discussion at Talk:Sarah Azhari#Help with Indonesian language sources because you are in the Category:User id-N & have a minimum of 1,000 edits across all Wikimedia projects.

I realize that some of you are very busy while others may no longer be editing. Nevertheless, I thought it wise to consult with you.

Thank your for the work that you do on Wiki[mp]edia! Peaceray (talk) 21:06, 11 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
