editHello, I'm Centcom08. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Thor: Love and Thunder, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Centcom08 (talk) 04:28, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}}
on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes
~~~~
at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

editPlease stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Ingemar Stenmark, you may be blocked from editing. TylerBurden (talk) 02:44, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- You're correct that I neglected to add a source; that's my mistake. However, that was a good faith edit; there's no need to get threatening. By the way, the article is out of date. Mikaela Shiffrin did surpass his record. Wcdowchb (talk) 03:29, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
- It would not be such a stern notice if you hadn't been warned for doing this multiple times before. TylerBurden (talk) 22:09, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

CS1 error on 2023–24 NBA season
editHello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page 2023–24 NBA season, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
- A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 02:55, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Please help me with... I'm having trouble figured out why the references I added to 2024 Cleveland Browns season in the Draft section aren't working. Wcdowchb (talk) 02:36, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Wcdowchb. Could you try adding
{{reflist|group=upper-alpha}}
either above or below the existing Template:Reflist? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:54, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Removal
editHello, I noticed that you removed an accurate piece of information from the Timeline of geopolitical changes (2000–present) about the Alliance of Sahel States and was wondering the reason for the removal? A valid source was provided. Brokenalarmclock (talk) 23:31, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, I don't think it fits the parameters of the page. It's not a change in territory or geographical name. Wcdowchb (talk) 02:06, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, the joining of Sweden into NATO or the Transitional Government change in Haiti were also not explicit territorial changes to the world map, but they are still listed on the page and have been for months. If you would like a page that explicitly only allows border/territorial/geographical name changes on it's list, I highly recommend List of national border changes (1914–present). Have a great day/night! Brokenalarmclock (talk) 02:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- That's a fair point. You as well! Wcdowchb (talk) 02:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
