  Hello, I'm Rdp060707. An edit you recently made to Brandon Cox (politician) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to 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. ----Rdp060707|talk 10:46, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your 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. Please do not add citation needed maintenance tags to inappropriate sections of an article, such as the lede (which per WP:LEDE is not expected to contain citations anyway) and to article section headers (which cannot be cited). It also appears that you are adding these tags without regard for whether the material is already covered by existing references. Please be more careful in the future.

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to President McKinley Inauguration Footage, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your 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. Please do not add inappropriate maintenance templates, such as citation needed tags in the lede of an article, or in places where the material is already adequately referenced by existing citations. It appears that you are not actually reviewing the material before adding these maintenance tags; this is disruptive editing, and if it continues you may be blocked.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Crusader (speedboat). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Do not continue to add citation needed maintenance tags for material that is already referenced by existing sources in the article. It appears that you are blindly adding these tags to articles without regard for whether they are accurate or not. If you continue to do so you will be blocked from editing without further warning.

In particular, please have a look at WP:DRIVEBYTAG, WP:OVERTAG, and WP:TAGBOMB which describe the kinds of behaviors with citation needed tags that can be disruptive. SWATJester Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 19:14, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Dudley Williams (dancer). Do not add inappropriate Citation Needed tags for content that is not controversial and is already directly covered by an existing citation. You have once again done so at Dudley Williams (dancer). You've been warned repeatedly for overtagging without applying the appropriate due care in the past. This is your final warning; if you cannot use our templates appropriately, you need to either cease using those templates, or you will be blocked from further editing.
