  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.★Trekker (talk) 17:45, 31 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Centaur (minor planet), you may be blocked from editing. Shearonink (talk) 23:20, 31 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  In your entire editing history you have not - even once - used an edit summary. WP:FIES means always provide an edit summary. Please do so. Shearonink (talk) 23:38, 31 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistent disruptive editing, including, but not restricted to, continuation of an edit war for which you had already been blocked at 86.134.3.228. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:23, 1 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Edits to taxonomy templates

edit

Please don't edit taxonomy templates until you are much, much more familiar with them and the way they are set up. For example, your edits to Template:Taxonomy/Mammalia and Template:Taxonomy/Synapsida completely messed up the order of ranks in the taxonomic hierarchy. The taxonomy templates are very carefully set up, because different groups use different classification systems, e.g. mammals are treated as class by WP:MAMMALS but not by those editing dinosaur articles. If you want to change the taxonomy encoded in these templates, discuss your idea first at the relevant Wikiproject talk page. Peter coxhead (talk) 20:08, 5 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 20:09, 5 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia. Please stop your disruptive editing to taxonomy templates or risk being banned.   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  20:40, 5 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Most few of your edits are, as far as I can tell, perfectly constructive. A few of your edits appear to be just playing around. In between those two cases there are various edits which seem doubtful. If you wish to continue editing Wikipedia then please start responding to messages on this page, and if you believe you have good reasons for edits which other edits call into question then explain your reasons; otherwise it is likely to look as though you are being unconstructive. Edits such as this and this, and pairs of edits such as this and [1] are likely to discourage other editors from giving you the benefit of the doubt, so you really do have to start removing such doubt by explaining what you are doing, especially when your edits are challenged. There are two ways you can do that: (1) fill in a brief explanation of what you are doing in the box labelled "Edit summary" below the editing area whenever you edit a page, and (2) whenever another editor challenges or questions your editing please reply, explaining why you think you are right (or if you have decided you made a mistake then saying so.) As I said above, it looks to me as though most of your editing is constructive, so I really don't wish to see you permanently banned from editing, so please take note of the advice I am giving you.
