March 2016 edit
Hello, I'm GoneIn60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Vertical Velocity (roller coaster), 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.

Disambiguation link notification for March 5 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lake Compounce, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page LSM. 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.

March 2016 edit
Hi there! 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)
I noticed your recent edit to Bolliger & Mabillard does not have an edit summary. 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:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! GoneIn60 (talk) 17:03, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Hurler edit
I reverted a recent edit of yours for several reasons. First and foremost, Wikipedia doesn't have a deadline (see WP:NORUSH). We can afford to wait until a newspaper or other major news outlet confirms the claim. That's not to say Screamscape.com isn't reliable, but it's clear from their Kings Dominion page that they are simply regurgitating a report from KDFans and didn't independently confirm the report themselves. Also keep in mind that referencing Screamscape is not usually recommended. The page changes pretty often with older news falling off as newer posts come in. So while it may be an acceptable reference today, several weeks or months from now, it wouldn't be. That's another reason to wait for a better source.
Please don't take this the wrong way, as your efforts to improve articles on Wikipedia are definitely appreciated. We just need a little more patience here while we wait for the dust to settle. An encyclopedia doesn't need to operate at the same frequency as a social media entity like Twitter or Facebook. Wikipedia is quite the opposite: it prefers a more stable, long-term approach. If you'd like to discuss it in more detail, or if you'd rather solicit 3rd-party opinions on the matter, consider posting a new discussion on the article's talk page. That's usually the best move when two or more editors disagree on content. --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:23, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
Ongoing disruption edit
This is not the first time I've attempted to discuss your edits with you on your talk page, and you have yet to respond. You should carefully read over WP:V and WP:RS to learn more about the importance of citing content you add to Wikipedia, especially after content you add has been contested. Those policies will also further explain what sources are acceptable and which are not. Typically, YouTube is not a reliable source, unless the content is published by a reputable publisher and doesn't violate copyrights. In some cases, a source may need to be verified at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard when there is a disagreement about its reliability. Do not simply rely on the edit summary for justification. If you need help, feel free to respond here or on my talk page. You may also visit WP:Q for additional ways to seek assistance on Wikipedia. Thank you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:26, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Operating status edit
When we say a ride is "operating", we are referring to it as an active ride in general terms. This means at any given time it might be closed for maintenance or repair, but it is still considered operational and active. We don't update statuses on Wikipedia on a daily or weekly basis. That field is really meant to track long-term status, and right now at El Toro, the long-term outlook is unclear. Hope that helps. --GoneIn60 (talk) 06:21, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

December 2021 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Bizarro (roller coaster), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. GoneIn60 (talk) 02:44, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
Okay. Thanks for the clarification. Harryh2112 (talk) 03:10, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
