Hello, I'm SnapSnap. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SnapSnap 03:30, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Dan56. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Pour It Up, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! After all, readers need to know that the material in an article is not just made up. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 04:06, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Josh3580. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User:0ATRL/Satellites with this edit that didn't seem very civil, so I removed it. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it’s one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Josh3580_talk/hist 07:51, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi,

I noticed you adjusted the Template:2020 Democratic Party primary results table template here: [1] to account for Delaware's shifting of their primary date. However, you forgot to update the delegate totals for those two days. I got you covered in my edit here: [2]. Thanks for the initial update. David O. Johnson (talk) 22:31, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for catching that! Piratetales (talk) 03:47, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Ava Max. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

How is Ava Max's own Myspace page unreferenced or poorly referenced? There is nothing defamatory about someone's real age. Please don't try to censor the truth: that's undemocratic. Piratetales (talk) 23:56, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

1. The MySpace page is for someone named "Amanda Kay". Nowhere in our article does it say she went by this name. So we have not established that this is hers.
2. MySpace had no mechanism for "verified" or "blue check" pages, which is what Wikipedia standards require when citing social media.
3. Her profile says she's 15, but she created it in 2006, so she could have been 17 by the time the snapshot was taken, if she didn't bother updating.
4. We already have a reliable secondary source listing her birthdate. If she claims a different one, and that is also found in a reliable source, then we have a discrepancy that needs to be addressed, not by changing it unilaterally.
5. Don't remove valid sources and information. That's disruptive. Elizium23 (talk) 00:01, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Re: Decade-end charts

Probably yes. The problem is that this link -> http://www.billboard.com/#/charts-decade-end/billboard-200-albums <- cannot be properly archived due to the hashtag, which will be detected by the archive simply as "http://www.billboard.com/" like what happens here when you search for Song #1. Probably there is a link somewhere (or maybe it is available in the printed edition), but it cannot be from a forum, because they are deprecated. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 03:56, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Ss112. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Tiësto discography, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Ss112 20:39, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Ss112. I noticed that you made one or more edits to an article, Lasting Lover, concerning the updates of review statistics, box office numbers, sports statistics, or some other frequently updated data with a fixed web address, but you did not update the |access-date= parameter in the citation template. The |access-date= parameter is the full date when the content pointed to by the URL was last verified to be working and supporting the text being cited in the article. This means that the parameter needs to be updated whenever the content is updated. 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.

Please do not make edits concerning the updates of review statistics, box office numbers, sports statistics, or some other frequently updated data with a fixed web address, , as you did at Daya discography, without updating the |access-date= parameter in the citation template, as you did at Daya discography. The |access-date= parameter is the full date when the content pointed to by the URL was last verified to be working and supporting the text being cited in the article. This means that the parameter needs to be updated whenever the content is updated. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to update the |access-date= parameter in the article. Thank you. Ss112 19:37, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Oops, sorry about that! I'll definitely remember that in the future. Piratetales (talk) 20:49, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

February 2024

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Strike It Up. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. As the article clearly states, Wash is uncredited. Stop crediting her as featured. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 02:05, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
