Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia

It was actually a test edit that I accidentally labeled as vandalism and since you can't edit the title I couldn't change that, but still the test edit removed a entry so don't edit it, thanks. Wgolf (talk) 20:02, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

And actually the IP did remove the entry at first, so it does count as that, either way it is fixed now. Wgolf (talk) 03:03, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

August 2019

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:07, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

"standard" (2019 EFL Championship play-off Final)

Hello. Just a quick note on your claim of what is "normal" on final articles. I've taken a number of these to GA and at least two to FA now, and unless the nationalities and positions are verifiable within the article itself, they can't be there. We can't rely on Wikipedia articles to verify claims, such as nationalities, because Wikipedia is not a reliable source. I'll take a look at the source you've added for the positions to see if that's RS, and if it's not, it'll go too I'm afraid. If it is reliable, then good news and perhaps it could be used in other such articles. Cheers for your understanding in not violating two of Wikipedia's core policies, i.e. WP:V and WP:RS. If you feel this needs further discussion after I've assessed the sources you've added, I suggest you take it to the talk page of the article so we can encourage a wider discussion to determine if the core policies are being met by your additions.

Composition/song

You wrote on Song for My Father (song) that 'jazz compositions/standards with a parenthetical part in their article's title should use "composition" rather than "song"'. Why? Is that a policy? That composition/song has lyrics. EddieHugh (talk) 18:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. I think you'll find if you go listen to this track as it originally appeared on the Song for My Father LP, that it does NOT have any lyrics. Lyrics may have been added later, but that doesn't count because this composition lacked lyrics in its original form and therefore is not a "song". CitizenKang414 (talk) 20:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Do you mean the original performance had no lyrics, or the original publication had no lyrics? The former is a hazardous choice of criterion; the latter can be hard to ascertain. EddieHugh (talk) 20:10, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

January 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in 2020–21 UCLA Bruins men's basketball team, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically per MOS:ACRO1STUSE, acronyms like "ACL" are spelled out in full on first use. —Bagumba (talk) 02:02, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

College Basketball Rankings

• Have you read the week designation at 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's basketball rankings? One is week 10, the other week 9. Why the difference? Socalphoto (talk) 00:46, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
  • It's because the "week 2" used by the coaches poll is one week after the "week 2" in the AP Poll. CitizenKang414 (talk) 06:42, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi – just to let you know that I removed the full stops that you added to the captions at Chess World Cup 2021 and Women's Chess World Cup 2021 – see MOS:CAPFRAG. Joriki (talk) 14:30, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

UCLA Football Scoring Drives

I noticed your remarks on the Stanford scoring drives edit that you made on Saturday and I would like you to know that I would be willing to input them for you for future games if you like. I promise that if you want me to do them that they will be done in a timely manner (within 1-2 hours of the completion of the game). I don't mind taking it. Please respond when you have time. Thanks and Go Bruins. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 09:15, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

September 2021

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in 2017 UCLA Bruins football team. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Specifically, words like "remarkably" are generally avoided per MOS:PUFFERY. —Bagumba (talk) 01:57, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for contributing to the article 2017 UCLA Bruins football team. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 01:58, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

October 2021

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Brandon Brown (racing driver). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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, 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. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please do not add disputed content while the RfC on the Talk page on this article is pending. Please note the RfC process is discussed further at Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment#Responding_to_an_RfC. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 18:59, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

UCLA mens basketball

I was wondering if I could please have the first opportunity to update the UCLA mens basketball season page for all home games. You can have first crack for all road games and neutral site games. Please respond when you have time. Thanks. GoWarriors151718 (talk) 23:38, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

@GoWarriors151718: Lol sure! I don't really care too much, so sounds good to me CitizenKang414 (talk) 01:52, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Alright. Thanks. I had a hunch that you wouldn't mind but I just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page. I appreciate it. Just cause we share the same interest in UCLA basketball...what do you think of our team? Do you think we can live up to the hype? GoWarriors151718 (talk) 05:15, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

February 2022

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

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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, 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. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You are well aware that was not a minor edit, either, yet you marked it as such. Your edit added undue weight to an aspect of Byrd's life that he later strongly repudiated, and it is already covered in the lead anyways. Please also see [1] Trainsandotherthings (talk) 13:53, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

@User:Trainsandotherthings – uhhh... I was not the one who added the KKK thing to the lead; all I actually did was link to the "Exalted Cyclops" article. The mention of Byrd's former leadership in the KKK was already there and had been added by an earlier editor. Please look more carefully at what my edit actually constituted before you make accusations like this of "unproductive editing" or whatnot directed at me. CitizenKang414 (talk) 00:03, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Shit, you are right. Self-trout. I fucked up. I'm sorry. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 00:06, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

No worries at all, I just wanted to clear up the confusion I was having. Cheers CitizenKang414 (talk) 00:09, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Your edit summary on Tjin-A-Djie family

I noticed this edit summary on a revert that you made on Tjin-A-Djie family, "Requires discussion first. You cannot just take down the deletion proposal unilaterally." You are wrong in your assertion. A PROD can be removed without any discussion and can be done unilaterally. Once an article has had a PROD placed on it, another one can not be placed on it ever. If you believe this article should be deleted you will need to use the Articles for Deletion process. ~ GB fan 14:21, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Parental Rights in Education/"Don't Say Gay" Law

I was looking through the edit history and noticed that you added the words "by opponents" to the lead, but wanted to say that this is not something that can be added until after the closure of the RfC[2] on the issue. You can vote how you wish in the RfC, but the addition of "by opponents" requires consensus that has not been established. Bill Williams 00:14, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Heavy Water. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User talk:Renamed user 1n2n3n4n5n that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed.

July 2023

In the past year or so, many of your edits to musical artist infoboxes have not followed the template guidance nor WP guidelines and have been reverted. Some have involved adding unnecessary duplicated country names and linking of major geographical place names. As has been pointed out numerous times:

• Omit the country if it does not differ from that specified at the field "birth_place" (Template:Infobox musical artist#death_place)
• Do not link major examples of: countries (e.g., Brazil/Brazilian, China/Chinese) ... locations (e.g., New Delhi; New York City, or just New York if the city context is already clear; London, if the context rules out London, Ontario; Southeast Asia) (MOS:OVERLINK)
• For geographic places specified with the name of the larger territorial unit following a comma, generally do not link the larger unit, e.g., if the city is linked, do not link the state and/or country (MOS:GEOLINK)

Additionally, it has been explained that if you are in disagreement, please raise your concerns on the template and MOS talk pages. Continuing to ignore the recommended practices will be reverted as disruptive edits, which could result in sanctions.
