  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

September 2019 edit

  Hello, I'm Ifnord. I noticed that you recently removed content from Hunter Biden without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You have removed referenced material. Please use the article's talk page to discuss such changes first. Ifnord (talk) 18:44, 20 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

March 2020 edit

  Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Judy Rising Reinke, 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. Materialscientist (talk) 18:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Fulbright Program, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

  Hello, I'm Toddy1. On English-language Wikipedia, we use commonly recognisable English-language names. This is explained at WP:COMMONNAME. The commonly used name in English is Kiev (see Talk:Kiev), so changing it to "Kyiv" in the article on Irpin was unhelpful. Other languages have other names. But here on English-language Wikipedia, we use the English-language name. Please do not change them to transliterations of foreign words. Toddy1 (talk) 19:10, 26 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, 169.252.4.23. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Ralph J. Bunche Library, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:57, 11 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

January 2021 edit

  Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. At least one of your edits on the page Archelaus of Cappadocia, while it may have been in good faith, was difficult to distinguish from vandalism. To help other editors understand the reason for the changes, you can use an edit summary for your contributions. You can also take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. DawidGiertuga (talk) 12:09, 27 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

July 2021 edit

  Hello, I'm Justiyaya. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Fort Lee (Virginia) seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. 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. Justiyaya 14:57, 21 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello! I'm Perfect4th. Your recent edit(s) to the page September 29 added information to a page about a year or day of the year, but did not include a reliable source. Wikipedia has a specific policy about day of the year articles; if you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page.

  • Each addition to a year or day of the year article requires a direct citation from a reliable source on the page supporting it. Simply providing a wikilink is not sufficient, and additions without direct sources will be removed.
  • The births and deaths listed on year and day of the year pages are only for people for whom there is a Wikipedia article (no red links and no redirects). Please do not add yourself (unless there is a Wikipedia article about you), or anyone without a Wikipedia article. Any entry added for anyone without an article will be deleted.
  • The events listed on such pages should be notable in that society and for some reasonable amount of time. Further guidelines for what should and should not be included are provided at Wikipedia:Days of the year. Events not meeting these guidelines will be removed.

If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. 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! Perfect4th (talk) 04:35, 30 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
