Disambiguation link notification for November 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Christo and Jeanne-Claude, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kansas City (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Apologies for a previous incorrect warning tag

Hello Mr. Reed, this is Harryzilber. We briefly wrote a series of notes to each other about six weeks ago when I added a warning tag to your I.P. Talk Page (which you were using at the time). A Wikipedia admin, Toddst1, advised me that my warning tag was inappropriate and after investigating the link that you removed I came to realize that your edit was absolutely not improper. The warning tag I previously added on your I.P. Talk page has been removed and a reminder that edit summaries should be used (when making edits) was left in its place. Please excuse my slip in that regard. Best: HarryZilber (talk) 17:01, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Season's Greetings!

Happy children want you to be happy too!

Happy children join me in extending the best possible Season's Greetings to you and your loved ones at this time of year, and if you don't celebrate the usual holidays (Diwali, Xmas, Hanukkah, Eid, Kwanzaa, etc....), then we will still wish you a Happy Festivus. All the best: HarryZilber (talk) 20:14, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Inaccuracies in the Da Vinci Code

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edits to Inaccuracies in the Da Vinci Code, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

In addition, material in Wikipedia must be written in a neutral, formal tone. This precludes unattributed comments about what readers find surprising, and the use of emotive wording, such as exclamation points.

Also, only the first word and proper nouns are capitalized in headings, as per WP:SECTIONHEAD.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 01:40, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

I understand that difficulty in finding sources can be frustrating, but that is what is required when adding information, especially (thought not limited to) information of a critical or controversial nature.

I'm not familiar with what JSTOR is, but Wikipedia does not require peer-reviewed journals. It merely requires that sources be reliable, which is detailed at WP:IRS. Peer-review is certainly something that may be needed in certain cases in science-related articles, but not on pop culture or book-related articles like The Da Vinci Code.

I'm not following your comment about the two colons. Can you clarify? Nightscream (talk) 17:16, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced material and personal viewpoints to Wikipedia, as you did with your edits to Cryptex and List of The Da Vinci Code characters. As I mentioned above, this is prohibited by various policies and guidelines. Nightscream (talk) 16:23, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

May 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Hannibal Rising may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:57, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
