 Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

  Hi Stewikiaman1! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of 2023 Formula One World Championship 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 at Talk:2023 Formula One World Championship, 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. Cerebral726 (talk) 17:30, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

  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 and 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. Cerebral726 (talk) 17:41, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please revert this edit. You are violating Wikipedia policy regarding edit warring. Start a discussion on the talk page if you think your edit is worthy of inclusion.--Cerebral726 (talk) 17:43, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Star Wars: Duel of the Fates into Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 21:38, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for contributing to the article Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, wikis, personal websites, and websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. These sources may express views that are widely acknowledged as pushing a particular point-of-view, sometimes even extremist, being promotional in nature, or relying heavily on rumors and personal opinions. One of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:05, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sources

edit

They must be completed. Adding <ref> url link </ref> is not sufficient. That said, for a better reading and less grammar mistakes, you have to improve your spelling. Island92 (talk) 22:04, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

My advice is you ignore most of this rude comment from Island92. For help on how to include full referneces, please see Help:Referencing for beginners. SSSB (talk) 22:32, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
This user is @MKL123:. They both the same people. I had already warned also MKL about the same thing but I see no improvement. He's not a new user at all. Island92 (talk) 05:15, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Stewikiaman1: Please follow the advise given above regarding references and spelling. Please use proper citations as explained in the helpful guide linked by SSSB, and refrain from just storming ahead without improving like you did in this edit. It would also be considerate to other editors if you took the time to proofread your additions.-- Cerebral726 (talk) 14:13, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, Stewikiaman1, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Cerebral726 (talk) 13:45, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Images

The infobox image for a racing driver should be that person, not the person's car. Regardless of how old the photo may be. SSSB (talk) 21:52, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Andy Murray, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 2023 US Open. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

You are wrong on some Ford information. Island92 (talk) 16:49, 4 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ref

edit

A ref must be completed rather than adding only the url link. Island92 (talk) 18:03, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

What's not clear? Island92 (talk) 13:50, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Probably the fact that it isn't true. It is a courtesy to do a complete ref, but the person who adds the ref isn't compelled to do it (primarily for new editors who may not know how to do it, or if you add something quickly and haven't got time to do it properly. User:Stewikiman, please learn how to do a full ref, using {{cite web}} or similar. Island92, stop biting. SSSB (talk) 13:55, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ok, but just point that this user is not completed new. Island92 (talk) 15:58, 20 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
