Hello, I'm Emir of Wikipedia. An edit that you recently made to Islamic socialism seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:33, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

It was plainly not a test. Please be careful how you use warning templates. Uncle Roy (talk) 14:35, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Jupiter, Florida

Your edit is still unsourced and will remain reverted without a source that supports it. The existing, cited source mentions the Hobe, but does not mention the Jaega and/or that they are the same tribe, nor does the article at Jaega mention the "Hobe". A link that says "Hobe" but targets Jaega is called an Easter egg and is not permitted here unless it can be shown that they are related (and how). General Ization ^Talk 16:11, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

The existence of Hobe Sound without a cited source that says there was a tribe with that name and/or a settlement of Jaega called "Hobe" (and that is not what your edit said) does not support your edit. General Ization ^Talk 16:14, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Logan Paul

Hi, I saw you changed the Infobox on the Logan Paul article but didn't leave an edit summary. What was your reasoning for making that change? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 19:35, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi. The infobox was broken, so I simply reverted the last change that broke it. If you'd like me to turn the infobox into a Infobox YouTube personality, I'm happy to help. Uncle Roy (talk) 20:40, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Ah, ok, that makes sense. Yes, it would be good if you could convert into a properly formatted Infobox YouTube personality. Thanks for that. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 20:52, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

I just went to change it, but then noticed that the existing Infobox person already contains an embedded module for Infobox YouTube personality. This allows the resulting infobox to contain much more information than if we were using Infobox YouTube personality alone. Uncle Roy (talk) 08:46, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Norton

As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article, but as copyvio not promotional. It was indeed somewhat promotional, but easily fixed by changing the language a little. However, like a great many promotional articles, it was essentially a copyvio of their "about" page on their website. -- hard to detect in google ,because it is not a static page but a slide show with text. For anything like this, I normally check the organizations website as well. Copyvio is a much more important and indisputable reason for deletion, and should be used when applicable , often in combination with G11.

Thanks for picking this up. It's been here for many years. A lot of editors have made minor copyedits and the like to it, but never noticed the real problem. My guess is we have between 50,000 and 100,000 similar. DGG ( talk ) 20:44, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for picking up the copyvio. But your deletion rationale was G13: didn't you mean G12? Uncle Roy (talk) 22:00, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
