  Hello, I'm JudgeRM. I noticed that you made a change to an article, B, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

  Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Blue shell for general discussion of the topic or other unrelated topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article; not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information.

Proposed deletion of Mega Mushroom edit

Hello, IggyKoopa408. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Mega Mushroom, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Copying licensed material requires proper attribution edit

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Thunder Cloud (Mario Kart Wii) you included material from the Mario Kart wiki. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this legal requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:27, 4 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Not sure what you were going for here, but the sentence was perfectly fine, with its elegant use of singular they. Drmies (talk) 21:47, 20 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Distribution categories edit

Hi, we don't include both parent and child categories. When an organism is present in a "reasonable proportion" of the parts of a larger geographical division, then we just categorize it under that division (e.g. Category:Spiders of South America). When it's only present in a smaller proportion of the larger category, then we just categorize it under the smaller parts (e.g. Category:Spiders of Argentina‎ and Category:Spiders of Brazil, but not then Category:Spiders of South America). What a "reasonable proportion" amounts to is a matter of opinion; for South America I would say that Brazil + a couple of other countries is enough.

The idea is that categories form, so far as is practicable, a tree, so you don't have different parts of a branch present on the same article. Peter coxhead (talk) 13:27, 4 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Spiders of Bolivia edit

 

A tag has been placed on Category:Spiders of Bolivia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

September 2022 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to July 1, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 06:06, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
