Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Engr.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to A. J. Edu, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited A. J. Edu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Power forward. 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.)

  Hello, I'm Clarkcj12. I noticed that in this edit to A. J. Edu, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. Clarkcj12 (talk) 10:04, 8 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. CalDoesIt (talk) 06:52, 12 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Bagumba. Your recent edit to the page Dennis Schröder appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now.

@ThePongster: At Wikipedia, editors must collaborate with others. That means you must respond appropriately to the many notices above, including the warning I left earlier. Do not perform these kinds of edits against consensus. Also, you must stop using an edit summary of "fixed typo" when you obviously are doing something completely different. Questions can be asked at WP:Teahouse. Johnuniq (talk) 22:18, 22 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

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. Not everything is a typo Engr. Smitty Werben 12:24, 17 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Engr. Smitty. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, JJ Redick, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

  Hi ThePongster! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Joseph Stalin 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.

Concern regarding Draft:Lervin Flores

edit

  Hello, ThePongster. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Lervin Flores, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 06:02, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

edit

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Kai Sotto. Engr. Smitty Werben 04:00, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Kai Sotto. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you. Engr. Smitty Werben 12:57, 18 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Lervin Flores

edit
 

Hello, ThePongster. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Lervin Flores".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 05:26, 26 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, Dreisar20, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Aeiou001 (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:17, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dreisar20, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not blank SPIs filed against you and allow us to process the full case. Thanks. --Blablubbs|talk 09:56, 15 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppet investigation

edit
 

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dreisar20, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community. Sabbatino (talk) 18:28, 9 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
