Hello, I'm NinjaRobotPirate. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Bill Hader, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:24, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

April 2021

Hello. 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 diffs
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. 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. Thanks! 220 of ^ßorg 12:42, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Marilyn Monroe, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 01:05, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries!

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks!
Please use edit summaries when you can! It tremendously helps other users understand what edits are being made to Wikipedia articles. You've been contributing a lot, and I hope that you keep up the great work! --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 23:34, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cité de Carcassonne, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Roman. 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) 05:56, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Biased and slanderous.

Inappropriate warning by brand new IP user.
Wikipedia is supposed to be a non-biased website. It is not a site to push a certain political agenda or to slam another person. When people go to this site they want facts about a person, not personal opinion. Being an author on this site is a privilege and shouldn't br abused. 50.49.138.25 (talk) 18:48, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

November 2021

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. Hemiauchenia (talk) 02:53, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Hemiauchenia (talk) 03:37, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Twinkle?

Hi ActiveContributor2020. I just wanted to make sure I explained this diff of mine. With Twinkle, you can restore any version of an article history at the push of a button. I did it to prevent you from having to manually revert everything. I hope I understood your intentions correctly. JBchrch talk 18:05, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Eric Zemmour

I see you're trying to make changes to Eric Zemmour, and have been reverted twice. This is a topic that is both in the world news, as well as undergoing intense discussion at the Talk page of the article, down to the level of individual words that should or shouldn't be included. Heading to the article to make changes to the WP:LEADSENTENCE without being aware of this history or taking part in the discussions on the Talk page, is very unlikely to be successful. There has also been edit warring going on at the article before you got there, and you should be aware of that history as well, so you don't get caught up in it inadvertently. You're welcome to edit the article, as is any other editor, but a knowledge of the background and history, and especially exchanging ideas with other contributors before making changes, will increase your chances of success. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 19:15, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

December 2021

Hi ActiveContributor2020! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Éric Zemmour that may not have been. "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. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. JBchrch talk 15:39, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Zemmour again

Thanks for your recent contributions to Eric Zemmour. I had to remove them, for reasons explained in the edit summaries (see the article History tab). In brief, as a new user, I'd advise you to start with small edits to the body of the article (the part under the Table of Contents), and not to the WP:LEAD, which has special requirements, and especially not to the WP:LEADSENTENCE until you are more experienced. That said, this is not as serious as violations of WP:Verifiability, and I can see that you have taken that advice and are attempting to adhere to it, and that's great, so bravo for that! Keep up the good work, and keep on learning about Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and you'll be fine. Fee free to contact me with questions on my Talk page at any time. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:27, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
