editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Hoschton, Georgia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Jeb3Talk at me here 16:47, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Hoschton, Georgia, you may be blocked from editing. Jeb3Talk at me here 16:55, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Stating facts clearly and legally documented in public forua (such as the Atlanta newspaper) and republishing those facts on the wikipedia site (with citation) is not vandalism. I'm not sure of the source of your "concern" about vandalism - thinly veiled racism, affiliation with the town, or some other issue. Regardless, vandalism is some sort of destructive action. If you wish to be indignant about vandalism, perhaps condemning the actions of the racist city government and the individuals would be viewed as vandalism..they're hurting actual people and the city. Or, you can be a bully, cry "more vandalism", and ban me. Up to you, since you're the one with all the power. Make good choices...or not.
Jebcubed's public profile listing shows he is "White & Nerdy". There may be personal and racist reasons for the removal of text noting the City of Hoschton is led by a group of white, racist individuals. Editing reported.
Wikipedia and copyright
editHello 152.13.249.80, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to UNCG College of Visual and Performing Arts have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:16, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

editPlease do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Sade (singer). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 16:16, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

editHello, I'm SunDawn. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Eastern Europe, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 22:56, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

- The wikipedia article for Europe also mentions that it is called a peninsula of peninsulas. 152.13.249.80 (talk) 00:01, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

editHello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to University of North Carolina at Greensboro, did not appear to be constructive and have 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 the 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.
