Your message regarding List of Medium episodesThank you for reverting my "test" of the page List of Medium episodes. It was a probably pointless since all I did was add a single space after a period. When I made the edit the page was included in Category:Pages with broken reference names. Probably because for a short period of time the tranclusion of List of Medium episodes (season 7) in List of Medium episodes was causing a ref error. It has been my experience that after such a tranclusion based ref error that saving the origional pages is needed to update the category. I have never been able to tell but simply waiting would probably work as well. My edit simply forced the category to be updated. See Categories#Why might a category list not be up to date. In any case I wrote test in the edit summary because it is polite to include an ES. 24.34.148.49 (talk) 23:09, 26 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Actually, that was because of a shared reference on the Season 7 page. I placed the main body of the reference on the page preview, so when the shared ref on the title/date sections appeared via transclusion on the main list page, it appeared without any data. When I moved the main body of the reference to the RTitle section, and the shared reference to the season 7 preview, the problem corrected itself. The same thing happened on the List of The Good Wife episodes, though that wasn't the edit you created on that page; that one had the curious side effect of shifting the placement of the link so that when it jumped to the Season 2 section, the header is right at the top of the page. Before your edit, without the space, it included the last title from Season 1, and I'm curious if eliminating that was your intention with that one? Because if so, Bravo!

The only result I wanted was to remove the two pages from [[Category:Pages with broken reference names]]. And yes, on pages that are going to be transcluded, the full reference needs to be between the <includeonly></includeonly> tags or it can cause a very hard to find cite error if there are shared references. 24.34.148.49 (talk) 00:11, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Maybe I misunderstood you, but I feel like I might have explained that poorly. The problem was, it was a <ref name=copy/> tag that was transcluding, and it worked fine on the Season 7 page, but the full <ref>data</ref> got left behind on the season page because it was on a part of the page that doesn't transclude. The list page didn't know what <ref name=copy/> meant as a result. The <ref>data</ref> had to be on the shared portion for both pages to work. KnownAlias contact 00:28, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Prasthanam edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page [[:]] has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.southstylish.blogspot.com. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Get Yourself Up (album) edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page [[:]]. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you.   — Jeff G.  ツ 06:38, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your message regarding Get Yourself Up (album)Hello. Please look again at the edit you are complaining about. I added a reference section and a reflist. I also removed brackets from the 2 references in the article so that they would display more clearly. My efforts removed the:

Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page, but the references will not show without a {{Reflist}} template or a <references/> tag; see the help page.

warning message that was displayed. You have restored it. Nothing that I did warrants a vandalism warning. I will shortly be reverting you edit. Thank you. 24.34.148.49 (talk) 06:49, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello Bot edit

 

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Dingoo, you will be blocked from editing.
Your edits have been automatically marked as vandalism and have been automatically reverted. The following is the log entry regarding this vandalism: Dingoo was changed by 24.34.148.49 (u) (t) deleting 11383 characters on 2010-08-27T09:50:11+00:00 . Thank you.

This was vandalism repair and a false positive. False Positive Report - As I said in the edit summary "Undoing largescale cut/paste vandalism that has repeated the entire text". The previous editor had pasted the entire article twice. This doubled the size of the article and produced cite errors. The fastest way to repair the vandalism was to undo that edit. I did and am declaring the bots actions to be wrong. 24.34.148.49 (talk) 10:19, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
