Disambiguation link notification for January 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of trees, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Leggett and Orick (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.

How do I chat with other users?

I need to ask because (I hate to admit) I might not have read all of the tutorials as a newbie user, and I'm trying to figure out the how and where of communicating. I would like to occasionally chat with my fellow users, especially if a more experienced editor reverts one of my changes. (For example: AussieLegend) I do try to be careful with my revisions, taking into consideration any cultural differences that might influence my grammatical contributions and those of my fellow info geeks. Thanks! Rustypup49 (talk) 10:08, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

To leave a message for another user, click on "talk" after their name in a signature to get to their talk page. New messages should go at the bottom of the page: if you click "New section" at the top, a form opens where you can enter a heading and your message. See Help:Using talk pages for more.

Don't worry about not having read all the guidelines, no-one expects that, there are far too many. A useful one describing how to handle reverts etc is WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:28, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

January 2023

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Second Coming (poem), 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. Please review WP:IPCV as well. DonIago (talk) 05:10, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, and sorry! I'll work on adding a reliable source. Happy New Year to you, btw! Rustypup49 (talk) 06:29, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

No worries! Hope your 2023 is going well! For what it's worth, it's common that editors don't realize that "in popular culture"-style items need sources that don't just verify that the reference occurred, but that discuss it in some level of detail. Otherwise every single episode of The Simpsons would probably end up mentioned at multiple other articles. I like to explain it as, "we need to prove not just that the tree fell in the woods, but that it made a sound when it fell". Cheers! DonIago (talk) 06:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
