December 2015

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:43, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

File sizes

The image size is fine there is no reason to override user preferences per: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Images#Size. Mlpearc (open channel) 00:36, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

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

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• 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, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Mlpearc (open channel) 01:36, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

I resized and changed photos on this page myself but i wanted to resize them again so they can fit and look better, can i continue with that with your permission ?

Image size is set by each user in their preferences, there is no need to have |XXpx added to files in the articles. Mlpearc (open channel) 01:47, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Lady Gaga. Mlpearc (open channel) 01:24, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Leaving a reminder since you still don't seem to use edit summaries much and really should get into the habit of including them, especially for major edits to articles.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:25, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Snuggums (talk / edits) 01:32, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Lady Gaga. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 09:43, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
