Edit summaries

edit

  Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! – JuneGloom07 Talk 13:32, 20 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Teresa Palmer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sam Reid. 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.

Abraham Attah

edit

Dear NOVAASA, It was good to see your article on Abraham Attah. By "Linkrot" I meant that the links to newspaper articles can disappear over time and a text reference would be more permanent. I notice you include his IMBD as an external link. That is likely to be more reliable...I suggest placing that amongst the references rather than under Ext. Links. Thank you for your work James sinarau (talk) 12:26, 13 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm 5 albert square. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Margot Robbie, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! 5 albert square (talk) 23:52, 26 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Josh Mond

edit
 

The article Josh Mond has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. reddogsix (talk) 22:00, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Fun House (film) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. czar 18:17, 1 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Jenna Coleman, did not appear constructive and has been undone. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 23:11, 20 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jenna Coleman. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. clpo13(talk) 23:15, 20 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • NOVAASA, the Daily Mail is in no way a reliable source for the inclusion of personal information in a BLP. Wikipedia is not a who's-dated-who website and only well-sourced notable relationships should be included in articles. Leave the gossip to the tabloids. Please do not continue to edit war and instead discuss the issue on the article talk page.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 23:20, 20 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

The next time you engage in an edit war, as you are at Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes (actor), you will be blocked without further warning. Wikishovel (talk) 15:05, 21 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please don't remove this again without discussing it first on the talk page; it's reliably sourced and, at the time, true. If they have indeed broken up, then please provide a reliable source confirming it and add it to the page, not delete the info. JudgeRM (talk to me) 22:09, 23 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
