WP:DISINFOBOX

Please see WP:DISINFOBOX. Per ArbCom, infoboxes should not be added to or deleted from existing articles unless there is a WP:CONSENSUS to do so among the editors of the page. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:17, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

November 2020

Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 1974, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 20:01, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Edit summaries, please

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! Eric ^talk 03:13, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Fantasy depictions

Hi. I reverted your additions of Jacob de Wet portraits of Scottish kings because they add little value. Those are fantasy depictions that are virtually never encountered in modern academic biographies or reference works. They may be useful in legacy sections but in the infobox itself they act as little more than placeholders. Surtsicna (talk) 22:08, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

July 2022

Hello, Telephone Directory. I noticed that your recent edit to 1991 Madrid City Council election added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you. Sumanuil. 22:00, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Signature file changes

Regarding your mass changes to infobox signature files, please see this discussion: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Infoboxes#Replacement_of_signature_images_with_svg_derivations. Eric ^talk 15:55, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

@Telephone Directory: Mass changes to articles is highly disruptive when others have raised objections. I do not know why you have suddenly decided to add contested signatures to articles soon after I blocked another editor to prevent them doing the same. The reason does not matter but I will have to take further action if anyone continues the campaign. To be clear, you will be blocked if you again change or add a signature before gaining a clear and positive consensus from a wide discussion on a noticeboard. Start at the above link although a new section will be needed for a discussion once people start communicating. Johnuniq (talk) 22:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

@Telephone Directory: I have had to revert your recent 35 edits performed from 14:04 to 14:55 on 28 February 2024. As above, please do not repeat edits regarding signatures until a clear consensus has been determined at a central noticeboard. Johnuniq (talk) 22:38, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

LXVI Legislature of the Mexican Congress moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to LXVI Legislature of the Mexican Congress. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it is primary filled with "TBD" information. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:19, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
