Welcome!

Hello, Howserman, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Sebastian Gorka, have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can place {{helpme}} on your talk page along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:28, 21 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm LcawteHuggle. I noticed that in this edit to Al-Jabiri, 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. Thanks. LcawteHuggle (talk) 19:26, 7 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi

Pr WP:ARBPIA3#500/30, editors "with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict."

Please respect that, thanks, Huldra (talk) 21:11, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mika Rottenberg, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Israeli (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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 TJRC. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Joshua Bell, 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 19:04, 24 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Thomas Jefferson and Native Americans‎, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Those weren't Jefferson's words, Congress rewrote that part. Your source doesn't attribute them to him. Doug Weller talk 15:32, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Replacing straight quotes with curly quotes

edit

Hello. I don't know why you made this edit, please don't replace straight quotes, which are preferred on Wikipedia, with curly ones per MOS:CURLY. You didn't "fix" them. Thanks. Ss112 01:25, 29 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Varlık Vergisi. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. You have a large streak of articles affected your mass curly quote edits, MOS:CURLY, and have been cautioned by others in the past. FutureFlowsLoveYou (talk) 17:50, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Browserman20: I assume you're not aware of the reminders, but again, please don't replace straight quotes with curly quotes in your edits, which you're still doing. FutureFlowsLoveYou (talk) 15:00, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
