External links

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Kristina Davis do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Active Banana (talk) 21:45, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Samantha Smith (actress)

The article Samantha Smith (actress) has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — Timneu22 · talk 13:15, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Samantha Smith (actress)

The article Samantha Smith (actress) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no notable roles a/c imbd, no additional information.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DGG ( talk ) 04:40, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

July 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Julie Gonzalo, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 22:21, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to Alexandra Daddario. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Elizium23 (talk) 03:23, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, Wikipedia. 2600:1700:B930:1D70:694E:7E91:9EDF:8BEE (talk) 16:53, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

November 2014

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Quartermaine family, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. livelikemusic ^{my talk page!} 18:34, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!

Hello, Aboutnici. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

April 2020

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, 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, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Britt Westbourne, you may be blocked from editing. Your continued ignorance of policy and set up with soap articles is glaringly alarming. Please re-consider your editing habits. livelikemusic talk! 15:29, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Days of Our Lives characters (2010s), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Claire Brady. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:02, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

December 2020

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to List of Days of Our Lives characters (2000s). Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Thank you. livelikemusic (TALK!) 20:01, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Continued addition of unsourced content to articles

I see from your talk page that multiple editors over the years have requested that you include reliable sources when adding or changing information in articles, yet you continue to make edits such as this. Note that the requirement for verifiability is policy and that the inclusion of reliable sources, especially to biography articles, is not optional. Please ensure that your edits are reliably sourced in order to avoid possible sanctions on your account. Thank you, -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:40, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Kate Mansi edit

I have reverted your addition of an unsourced date of birth to Kate Mansi. In addition to Wikipedia's basic principle of citing sources (Wikipedia:Citing sources), a special need for citations applies with regard to elements of a biography of a living person (WP:BLPPRIVACY). Feel free to add a date of birth when it is accompanied by a citation to a reliable, published, non-primary source. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:14, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

October 2023

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. livelikemusic (TALK!) 00:56, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2024

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style.

Also, worth noting: soaps do not use real-world dates. livelikemusic (TALK!) 16:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
