editHello, I'm GiantSnowman. An edit that you recently made to Shawn Lawes seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! GiantSnowman 08:47, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Regarding the false positive of the edit filter you hit; I've made the edit on your behalf, and adjusted the filter to be less sensitive. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie Talk 12:15, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

editHello, Weliviewf. I noticed that your recent edit to Åsvær Lighthouse 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. (talk to me) 09:18, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Liaden universe, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. --Jaellee (talk) 23:11, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
editYou have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

editPlease stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at The Newsreader, you may be blocked from editing. CodeTalker (talk) 21:45, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at John Kufuor, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. PEPSI697 (💬 • 📝) 07:48, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- To note about the revisions on the article provided above, I had to manually reverted it because it wouldn't let me revert or restore revisions because of a blacklisted site. It took a painfully long time and got me really frustrated and angry. Anyways, I'll calm down and take a deep breath after all this frustrating moment on Wikipedia. PEPSI697 (💬 • 📝) 07:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Also, please do not remove bold formatting from the first mention of the article subject. Per MOS:BOLD, the first occurrence of the name of the article in the lead sentence should be in bold. Thank you. CodeTalker (talk) 21:54, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Ateneo de Davao University, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.
