Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited László Papp Budapest Sports Arena, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Tini and All the Hits Live. 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.)

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, in your recent edit to Sweating sickness, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Graham87 (talk) 15:18, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 21:51, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I saw all the good work you did at Wildlife of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. Thank you. Please use edit summaries with each edit. That's how all us editors communicate why the edit was made. Keep up the good work and if there's anything I can do to help, let me know. SchreiberBike | ⌨  00:24, 20 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I recently reverted your edits on Trixie Mattel. I just wanted to let you know about the policy on bolding (MOS:BOLD), which stipulates you don't bold when introducing new/important terms. BappleBusiness[talk] 01:21, 17 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your contribution to the article Platycerium bifurcatum

edit

Hi Kekepalmer2001, thanks for your edit on this article. I have however, reverted it because it was not fully supported by scientific references. If you find quality references that support it please feel free to add it back in again. I also suggest you take some care with using observations on iNaturalist for a references—these are often inaccurate (e.g. I checked the observations in Argentina that you used, and all three are in urban areas and likely to be cultivated, thus they should not be "Research Grade" and they don't support the idea that the plant is spreading through the country). Also, avoid making your own conclusions about observed data, on Wikipedia personal research is strictly out of bounds - see WP:NOR for more information.

A reminder

edit

Hello, I would like to remind you that

  • you should provide an edit summary for all edits (see WP:FIES)
  • there is no need to link commonly-known words and expressions (see MOS:OL)
  • you must provide quality references for content that may be challenged (see WP:REFB)

I have reverted your edits on the article Pandanus spiralis – please see my edit summary for an explanation. Cheers, Steve  Junglenut |Talk  00:14, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Badly sourced, essay-like additions

edit

I have been going through several of your recent additions and have found it necessary to revert them wholesale; and it looks as if I will have to be looking at a fair few more. In brief, you seem to have a habit of writing needlessly expansive, flowery, and largely unsourced passages; not to put too fine a point to it, you are Making Shit Up. Take for example the following addition to Raggiana bird-of-paradise:

Essentially, the Raggiana bird-of-paradise may be viewed as an omnivore; however, more specifically, the species is largely a frugivorous (fruit-eating) insectivore, consuming numerous tree fruits, arthropods and other invertebrates, and occasionally their larvae.

The Raggiana bird-of-paradise is a valuable seed-disperser in the forest, along with many other arboreal, fruit-loving animals with which it shares its jungle habitat. In regards to certain endemic and unique fruiting trees on the island of New Guinea, such as several species of mahogany (Meliaecea) and nutmeg (Myristica).[1] As the birds forage throughout the day, they consume various fruits, which are swallowed whole, seeds and all. The digestible fibre and plant matter is utilised by the bird as energy while the seeds will largely stay intact as they pass through the bird’s digestive system, ultimately being excreted as guano wherever the bird happens to be. Thus, the birds are inadvertently assisting in the reduction of potential botanical monocultures, or species-dominated areas, in the forest, a scenario which can lead to stagnancy, a decline in biodiversity, and overall low natural productivity in the region.

  • "Essentially, the Raggiana bird-of-paradise may be viewed as an omnivore" - your interpretation, where is the sourcing?
  • "valuable seed-disperser" - value judgement, has no place in an encyclopedic article
  • "along with many other arboreal, fruit-loving animals with which it shares its jungle habitat" - this is plain waffle. More words != better
  • "In regards to certain endemic and unique fruiting trees on the island of New Guinea, such as several species of mahogany (Meliaecea) and nutmeg (Myristica)." - bad grammar, "unique" is a nonsense application, the entire first half of the sentence is unnecessary bloating
  • "As the birds forage throughout the day, they consume various fruits, which are swallowed whole, seeds and all. The digestible fibre and plant matter is utilised by the bird as energy while the seeds will largely stay intact as they pass through the bird’s digestive system, ultimately being excreted as guano wherever the bird happens to be." - 75% of this is superfluous, guano != all bird shit, and worst of all, none of this is sourced - it is certainly not present in the one reference already given in the paragraph. This is a cardinal sin on Wikipedia, and very much unacceptable.

Please desist from this type of editing. We don't need flowery and inventive rewrites of sufficient, brief summaries, and we absolutely do not need addition of unsourced material. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
