December 2008

edit

  Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Rocsi, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'

Name changes

edit

Saying that certain names like "Nick," "Charlie," and "Lily," are short for "Nicholas," "Charles," and "Lillian," in specific contexts is original research and should not be included in articles at all. There is nothing that tells us that the names are the full versions that you claim they are. As such, do not make these changes, again.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

The same goes for "Daltanius." While the name does come from d'Artagnan, it is not proper considering that the most common translated name is Daltanius, which is why the article is where it is.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 04:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Addition of unsourced birth dates

edit

  Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Pitbull (rapper). Thank you. — ξxplicit 23:18, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sentai titles

edit

There is no reason to put English translations of the Japanese titles if they are going to either be identical to the Japanese title with "Squadron" instead of "Sentai" (like you did for Go-onger, Shinkenger, and Kakuranger) or if you are going to use the entirely wrong translations. The text of the articles on Gekiranger, Go-onger, Shinkenger, and Goseiger give the translations for the first word in the title so there is no reason to give a translation. And FYI, the "shinken" in "Shinkenger" has nothing to do with "fist", "Shinken" is a phrase that translates as "True Sword" which is already on the page.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:15, 12 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Another reminder that birthdates and other information should be accompanied by citations to reliable sources. Wikipedia:Citing sources gives information on how to add sources to your information. It can be as simple as adding <ref> and </ref> with the web page address of your source between, or the name, author, and page of the book or magazine you got the information from; others can clean it up from there. Adding a source is very important because it allows others to quickly verify the information; information that cannot be easily traced to a reliable source can be removed from Wikipedia. --Closeapple (talk) 16:59, 24 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello, as per Closeapple above, please provide a source for your birth date claims. Wikipedia only works when other readers are able to verify the claims made within articles. If you don't provide the source for your claim then future readers and editors cannot really be sure if it's factual. If you have any questions or comments for me please see my talk page. Thanks.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Case (singer), you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Thank you. You've been asked several times now to please provide a source for your birth date claims. SQGibbon (talk) 19:22, 1 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to April Stewart. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SQGibbon (talk) 17:34, 16 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited WordWorld, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Giant (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Andrea Feczko, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. You have to provide a reliable source for birth dates. People have been telling you this for years now. SQGibbon (talk) 15:11, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
