  Hello, I'm S.Hinakawa. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Tom Ellis (actor), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! -- S.Hinakawa (talk) 09:01, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions to Tom Ellis (actor), but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Our readers are looking for serious articles and will not find joke edits amusing. Remember that Wikipedia is a widely used reference tool, so we have to take what we do here seriously. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the sandbox instead. Thank you. DanielRigal (talk) 12:34, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please pardon me for being frank, but I believe the vast majority of the people clicking on Tom Ellis' Wikipedia page are far more interested in obtaining genuine information, then becoming richer by utterly boring biological facts. If I were famous, I definitely wouldn't want people to read about my life as if that of the first president of the US. Luckily I'm retired so I won't inconvenience you. You may cross out the 'bravely', you humans might regard that as emotional. Also, if Wikipedia were a serious site only edited by professional intellectuals, please tell me how exactly is it relevant information that Joe Gilgun lives in the middle of a forest? Other than, of course, asking for autographs. AJcrowley666 (talk) 15:01, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Unlike overly serious people, I think it would be useful if people got a precise image of what or who ever's article they were reading on Wikipedia, instead of having to read a ridiculously long text full of facts and mostly lacking interesting contributions. I don't quite see the problem with the edits I made, knowing that I linked a source and my contributions always had to do with the main topic of the article. I would very much refuse to live in a world where all we know is dates and titles, instead of gaining new, useful information via encyclopedies. I know from experience that you will not honor me with an answer, most likely thinking me an ironically ‘edgy’ teenager, when I only want to make the articles better and perhaps be able to share what I know, living in a world of so-called freedom of speech. I do hope I made my opinion clear. Ciao. AJcrowley666 (talk) 17:38, 20 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
