November 2011 edit

 

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to The X Factor (TV series), did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

  • Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
  • ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
  • If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "{{helpme}}" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
  • The following is the log entry regarding this warning: The X Factor (TV series) was changed by XFactorfan2011 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.96227 on 2011-11-23T21:45:30+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 21:45, 23 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Britain's Got Talent, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Deletion discussion about List Of Celebrity Performers On X Factor edit

Hello, XFactorfan2011, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List Of Celebrity Performers On X Factor whether the article List Of Celebrity Performers On X Factor should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.

The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving List Of Celebrity Performers On X Factor, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

Thanks again for your contributions! ----Bruvtakesover (talk!) 18:07, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Edit summaries edit

Please read Wikipedia:Help:Edit summary. Edit summaries are to be used to help other editors understand the reason(s) for your edit. The edit summary you are using fails that standard. Tiderolls 21:04, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Talk That Talk(Song), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will be removed shortly (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 22:07, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning; if you create an inappropriate page again, as you did at Talk That Talk(Song), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 22:11, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Your contributed article, Talk That Talk(Song) edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Talk That Talk(Song). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Talk That Talk. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Talk That Talk - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ItsZippy (talkcontributions) 22:16, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to You Da One. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 22:36, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Unsourced info edit

Stop adding unsourced information to The X Factor (TV series). ----Bruvtakesover (talk!) 18:04, 30 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

December 2011 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edits you made to Mylo Xyloto Tour, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Itsbydesign (talk) 13:24, 10 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • Your editing has become disruptive. You need to stop adding unsourced speculation to the article mainspace. Furthermore, edit warring to add this content will lead to the loss of your editing privilege. If you need clarification on Wikipedia's policy regarding edit warring, you can read the policy by clicking here. Develop the practice of posting to article talk pages and follow my previous advice to employ edit summaries. We need editors to help with expanding this encyclopedia but there are policies and guidelines that need to be followed so that co-ordination is achieved and chaos avoided. I will watchlist this page in the event you have any questions. Regards Tiderolls 15:45, 10 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for disruptive editing, as you did at Mylo Xyloto Tour. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Tiderolls 16:24, 10 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • I have acted to stop your disruption. Please do not return to this behavior upon the expiration of your block. Again, if you need help understanding Wikipedia's policies and guidelines all you have to do is ask. Tiderolls 16:24, 10 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
