Invitation to Project 1989

Hey, hey, hey! Just thinking while you've been getting down with all these article reviews and DYK nominations in this platform, so I have invited you to this. sick. project.

All puns aside, I, have invited you to join my little project, Project 1989, which is made to expand Wikipedia's coverage of Taylor Swift's 1989 era. It would mainly focus on creating articles and improving them to GA/FA statuses, but given your track record with articles on Wikipedia, I know places where you can put your experience to good use.

Interested? Drop by this project's article and sign your name on the list, there is too many blank spaces there. You can still help out a bit if you want to. Thanks! brachy08 _{(chat here lol)} 02:35, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Duplicate parameters

When removing deprecated parameters and replacing them, please make sure you are not duplicating them. I have noticed in a lot of your edits, you are duplicating parameters which are causing them not to appear in the infobox. Please be careful when making future edits.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.
