 Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • 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.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Koshchki123 (they/she) (talk) 16:18, 23 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Cape Coral, Florida, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:30, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please stop adding original research. Please read the policy. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:44, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.)

  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! HorrorLover555 (talk) 11:43, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm ResolutionsPerMinute. I noticed that you recently removed content from Ooh La La (Goldfrapp song) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

  Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, you may be blocked from editing. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:19, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Final warning

edit

If you continue to either add unsourced content, personal commentary and opinion, original research, or change encyclopaedic text into wordy high school essay type text that sounds like you just got a new thesaurus, you will be blocked for disruptive editing.

  Hi, your edit at Karl Lagerfeld had two problems:

  1. It was incorrectly marked as minor. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia: it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word.
  2. It added an external link in the article body.
