  Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! MCMLXXXIX 14:25, 11 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

It is possible that some of the huge number of redirects that you recently created would have been useful, but most of them would have either not been useful or only been marginally useful. It is not desirable to have redirects from every possible combination of capitalisation that one could think of, only ones which have a high likelihood of being used. Also, there is no point in doing things like redirecting "Mario (fictional character)" to "Mario", because anybody wanting to find information about that character is vastly more likely to type "Mario" than "Mario (fictional character)" anyway. In fact it is difficult to think of any situation where a redirect from a title with a disambiguation term added to the same tile without disambiguation would make sense, except when an article has been moved, and people are likely to look for it under its previous title. Please don't create any more redirects until you have enough experience of how Wikipedia works to know what kinds of redirects are considered suitable.

It may also help to warn you that editors who do things like creating hundreds of redirects one after another like this are likely to be suspected of dubious motives, such as trying to game the system to get round editing restrictions by rapidly becoming extended-confirmed. I recently saw an editor blocked for that reason, so I urge you to be careful. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:59, 4 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
