April 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Napoleon, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. R'n'B (call me Russ) 23:15, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

May 2021

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear constructive and has been reverted. 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 your 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.

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Galileo Galilei. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Please tone down the "seminal" and "revered" stuff.

Hi, just a quick tip. You can preview your changes in the editor before you publish them. That way there is only one edit when adding something. Instead of many, each with a little tweak. Kardoen (talk) 14:19, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, friendly notice that signatures go at the end of posts, not at the end. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 19:40, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Deedman22. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Alexander the Great have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks!

Signing posts

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. - wolf 23:43, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Alexander the Great
