  Hello, I'm Glman. 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. glman (talk) 14:12, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at ...And Justice for All (album), you may be blocked from editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, sorry for the error. Do you know how I could provide citations so I can keep that information in there? Nolan1scool (talk) 16:54, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

National varieties of English

edit

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page Katimavik, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:55, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Learning about citations

edit

Hi there! I saw your Teahouse post and wanted to stop by. You've had the referencing/citation links shared with you, but I also wanted to offer some peer support if you'd like, while you work through understanding them.

Believe it or not, I have a whoooole library science degree, lol, and the minute details of Reliable Sources and referencing still intimidates me despite that degree! I'm trying to psych myself up to jump into it, because I know providing reliable sources as references is some of the most important work we can do for the encyclopedia. I understand allll the topics being discussed in the RS/referencing pages, it's just a LOT to process all together, so I definitely think it would help me to message back and forth with someone else who's learning too!

So, feel free to ask me any questions, either by pinging me here or going to my talk page, and I'll do my best to answer. Anything I don't understand, we can take to back to the Teahouse for clearer answers! I just think it's a lot less intimidating to go down this path with a wiki-buddy, so I wanted to offer. I don't have many things I want to *add* to the encyclopedia, either (I'm more of an editor/text-improver type) so maybe we could start by trying to find proper citations for some of the info you were trying to add to pages before!

Let me know what you think, and happy editing either way :-D ~Chelsea aka Chiselinccc (talk) 17:18, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hi Nolan1scool! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. glman (talk) 22:45, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please stop

edit

Hello, please stop adding completely unnecessary text to prominent articles. Even worse, you're adding it in the lead section, which is supposed to summarise a page and also doesn't normally have citations. Basically all of your edits have been reverted, often not by me. If you continue your current editing pattern, you may be blocked. You might find the page about Guidance for younger editors useful ... basically please slow way, way down.

Hello, I’m very sorry about the Taylor swift thing. That was my friend JJ that took my computer and did that. Could you re add my editing privilege? Nolan1scool (talk) 13:32, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
No. We've heard that sort of excuse before. And your reply to myquestion above shows that you really shouldn't be editing Wikipedia. Graham87 (talk) 17:30, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
