October 2018 edit

  Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to James (name). Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. Donner60 (talk) 02:46, 31 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

July 2021 edit

  Hello, I'm Rdp060707. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Boigu Island (Queensland), 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. ----Rdp060707|talk 06:37, 26 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

August 2021 edit

  Hello, I'm Rdp060707. I noticed that in this edit to Mudjimba, Queensland, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ----Rdp060707|talk 04:59, 12 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

March 2022 edit

  Hello, I'm Elli. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Ray Martin (television presenter), 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Elli (talk | contribs) 00:40, 30 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm LizardJr8. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Justin Gimelstob, but you didn't provide a source.

March 2023 edit

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Houseplant. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 02:02, 4 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Volkert van der Graaf. Thank you. Wikipedialuva (talk) 02:02, 5 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please 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 Rita Panahi, you may be blocked from editing. - FenrisAureus (talk) 23:34, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

1984 New York City Subway shooting edit

Hello! I just wanted to give you a heads up I reverted your de-capitalization of "Black" [1] While both "Black" and "black" are acceptable, MOS:RACECAPS says that we should be consistent throughout articles (and, separately, we should generally retain the status quo).--Jerome Frank Disciple 14:24, 5 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
