- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.

December 2023 edit
Hello, I'm Alexeyevitch. An edit that you recently made seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Alexeyevitch(talk) 01:11, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Taylor Swift. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 01:15, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Tokyo. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to being blocked from editing. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Drmies (talk) 02:12, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- what is considered a test edit? Kindbank (talk) 02:14, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Let me rephrase that. I just spent twenty minutes going through your edits, undoing the "grammatical corrections" you made. Wherever you said "fixed grammar" or "stopped run-on sentences", you introduced grammatical problems and created sentence fragments. The worst was probably in Kidult. So, stop doing things that you don't master. In addition, did you look at WP:OVERLINK? Wikilinks are not inline citations. And IMDB is not a reliable source. Drmies (talk) 02:48, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- And I've just had to revert more of your edits, you created clunky sentences, text that didn't flow and quite a lot of sentence fragments that aren't useful in an encyclopaedia article. In short you're making "grammar" fixes but you're actually using incorrect grammar. As a result you're causing other editors time and effort to clean up your edits. At this point the vast majority of all your edits have been reverted. Canterbury Tail talk 13:12, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

- That's if you make a small mistake in an edit. When the entire edit is a mistake, repeatedly, it's different and comes under WP:CIR. Canterbury Tail talk 20:26, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

English variation edit
Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Canterbury Tail talk 13:08, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
Disruption of Taylor Swift article edit
Please stop adding uncited information to the article, If you continue the same thing, you may be blocked from editing. You should read WP:NPOV before editing so that you won't cause trouble, and if you need help kindly visit the Teahouse. Thank you. Yotrages (talk) 18:12, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
