  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:D8DA:7D4C:8099:C3E4 (talk) 20:59, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Where is that vandalism? Can you give a WP:diff? Vanjagenije (talk) 08:55, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Vanjagenije, [1]; [2]; [3] may not all be straight vandalism, but are test edits or original research. Taken together, they're disruptive. Perhaps a level one notice would have been more appropriate, but most of their contributions have been reverted for various reasons. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:D8DA:7D4C:8099:C3E4 (talk) 16:01, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Not a single one of those edits constitutes vandalism. You should read carefully WP:VANDALISM and especially WP:NOTVANDALISM to learn what vandalism is and what is not. Accusing new editors for vandalism without evidence is a form of WP:BITING. You should refrain from such behavior. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:05, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Very well. Peoplelikeyou1234567, let me echo the welcome you received above, and explain why a number of your edits were reverted. This appeared to me to be either a test or vandalism [4]--perhaps you can explain; this was unsourced [5] and requires WP:RELIABLE to support it; this was an unexplained, unsourced and controversial content change [6]; this was unsourced and properly considered unnecessary by another editor [7]; this also appeared to be a good faith/test edit [8]; this was correctly reverted per MOS:OL [9]; and this was presumably a test edit [10]. Please do read more about our guidelines, and contribute here. Feel free to ask questions, too. Thank you. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 00:38, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
You haven't responded to the above. Please explain the rationale for this edit [11]. I'm wondering if these aren't intended to be disruptive after all. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:31, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I apologize if you find this edit disruptive. My goal was to add more information to this page. Peoplelikeyou1234567 (talk) 17:47, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at George Fox, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 15:29, 11 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:B5B5:46AC:4F0D:7F08 (talk) 22:35, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Pangram, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. No need to link the names of countries, see MOS:OVERLINK. Belbury (talk) 16:18, 27 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Raladic. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Non-binary gender, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. 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. Please refer to MOS:GENDERID. Raladic (talk) 20:19, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Color articles and verifiability

edit

I noticed that over a period of months, you have made unsourced and unjustified changes to the hex value or other color coordinates at various color articles such as Brown, Orange (colour), Fuchsia (color), and Aqua (color). In addition, they were made without leaving an edit summary. All of these edits have been undone, by various editors.

Please note that all assertions at Wikipedia must be Verifiable, and the best way to demonstrate verifiability is by adding a citation to a reliable source. In the case of hex color value for color articles, by convention and agreement at the Color WikiProject, a recognized source is the CSS Color Module Level 3. Please use that as a source if and when you plan to change the hex value at a color article, but under no circumstances should you change the value without a source or without leaving an edit summary.

And in general, please pay more attention to WP:Verifiability in all of your edits. Over your last 50 edits, 23 have been reverted; this indicates insufficient attention is being paid to finding sources which support your changes. If you have questions, you can contact me at my talk page, or feel free to ask any questions about editing Wikipedia at the Wikipedia:Tea house. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 00:14, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
