August 2024

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Tina Turner, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 18:49, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Tina Turner 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 by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:48, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

September 2024

Hello, I'm Donald Albury. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to St. Petersburg, Florida have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Nicknames generally need to be supported by a reliable source to show that such a nickname is in public use. Donald Albury 16:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Frank Williams

Hi Sekundenlang. I have reverted your move of Frank Williams (Formula One) to Frank Williams (racing driver). Williams was much better known as a Formula One team owner than as a racing driver. If you believe the article should be renamed, please start a discussion on the article's talk page. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 11:22, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

WikiProject Banners

Please stop repeatedly removing WikiProject banners without consulting the affected WikiProject, as you have done at Talk:Lambda. Per WP:PROJSCOPE, WikiProjects define their own scope, and non-participants should not edit-war to remove a WikiProject banner if a project has marked an article as of-interest.--Trystan (talk) 19:53, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Europapa

On 7 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Europapa, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that "Europapa" was the first song in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest to be disqualified after the start of the contest? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Europapa. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Europapa), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

October 2024

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Roberto Rojas. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Andria Putkaradze moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Andria Putkaradze, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
