[edit]Hi; you left a message on my User page concerning the above articles. As I have never edited either of the articles, and know nothing about the subject, I think you may have sent this message to the wrong user.Anaxial (talk) 07:59, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit]There is no need for the complete listing of each program on this page. There is a link to the main page that has the identical list already in the article, this is just redundant and unnecessary. Please do not revert this again, it's a waste of time and could arguably perceived as spam. Thank you. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:19, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
- Moneymaker? I don't have a moneymaker on Wikipedia and there's nothing to accessed on or from a Wikipedia article that does that. However, there are specific policies regarding what can and cannot be direct linked on Wikipedia pages and links that directly trigger a download or require other applications to access may not be directly linked. The links you've tried posting to Bob Hope fall under that policy. A link to a page that lists files is acceptable if those files are directly relevant to an article's subject, but not the file itself. Wildhartlivie (talk) 10:02, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- First of all, don't repost the response I make here onto my talk page, if I felt the need to post a response there, I would do so. Secondly, the link that is already on Bob Hope is http://www.freeotrshows.com/otr/b/Bob_Hope_Show.html, although it isn't "my website", it is the website that was added by someone else at some point in time. You are well aware of that since you posted direct links to the files that are also located on that site. Thirdly, I'm not sure that I appreciate the confrontational tone in your posts to my page, please be civil. Finally, the policy regarding external links is at WP:EL and the list that specifically cites media rich links is at WP:ELNO. The link to the archive page is already there, the individual files do not need to be listed as well, especially when it triggers a download when clicked directly from the Wikipedia page. Wildhartlivie (talk) 11:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Regarding this edit, we do not link via imbedded external links like this. We especially do not link to user comments on IMDB. They are opinions submitted by users and are in no way considered anything other than someone's personal opinion, which has no place in an encyclopedia article. Please do not imbed external links into articles in this way anymore. Thank you. Wildhartlivie (talk) 10:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit]This is your last warning. The next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Cuban missile crisis, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. — raekyt 22:56, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
- Unacceptable linking behavior, according to WP:EL we DO NOT use external links within the body of an article. You've been having this issue for years apparently and have done nothing to change this behavior. Recent survey of your edits turned up the following edits. I chose to do an immediate final warning since this behavior has persisted so long. Take heed of this warning, since next action against your account may be a temporary ban. — raekyt 23:16, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
Edit to Harlem Shake (song)
[edit]Thank you for your edit to Harlem Shake (song). Unfortunately, the material you added is already present in the article Harlem Shake (meme), where information dealing with a video description seems relevant. If you have any questions about the content's removal, feel free to ask me at my talk page. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 03:49, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- YouTube should not be used as a source, as it involves self-published material. The artist posting the song on YouTube is not an official release, and the song's earliest appearance is discussed in the article's background section already. This addition disrupted the flow of the section's prose and introduced an anachronistic overview of YouTube post, meme going viral, and something about the dance in the video not being the actual Harlem Shake dance, which is explained at Harlem Shake (meme). The "commercial performance" section covers the idea that "The 30-second video featured people dancing to the song" and makes no allusion to the Harlem Shake dance. The meme going viral is also covered in that section's first paragraph. The only connection of the dance to this song is the vocal that is sampled, which is discussed in the "music and lyrics" section. Dan56 (talk) 04:45, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Lester Foster. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Harlem Shake (song), because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Lester Foster (talk | talk) 08:22, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Harlem Shake (song). Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 03:35, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Linking copyright pages
[edit]YouTube
[edit]- As an external link: Sometimes. Videos from "official channels", like the United States' Naval History & Heritage Command, are more likely to be accepted than other links.
- As a reliable source: Sometimes. If the source would normally be considered reliable (e.g., a segment from a well-known television news show, or an official video channel from a major publisher), then a copy of the source on YouTube is still considered reliable.
- Common issues:
- Videos must be carefully screened for copyright violations (WP:ELNEVER, WP:COPYLINK, WP:YT). The creator of the video must be verifiable as an official channel for the source. Do not link to copyright violations in citations, even if they reproduce information, such as news reports, that might otherwise be considered reliable.
- Many readers (especially users on restricted or metered bandwidth, or those behind restrictive corporate or educational firewalls) are unable to view video.
- Videos often contain less information than alternative websites or the Wikipedia article itself (ELNO #1).
- Videos must be labeled with software requirements (Rich media).
- Editors enforce a particularly high standard for links to videos.
- General comment: Because the Commons and Metawiki have a 100MB limit on files some files are added to YouTube for use in Wikipedia that are gathered from United States government sources such as the National Archives by WikiProject FedFlix or other projects. These files can be used on Wikipedia articles if available.
John Leguizamo and IMDb
[edit]Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to John Leguizamo. See Wikipedia:External_links/Perennial_websites#IMDb - IMDb is NOT an acceptable source for Wiki. If you still want to push the issue take to WP:RSN, or better yet search the archives for the copious discussions about this. Geraldo Perez (talk) 21:28, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
- You well-know by now that IMDb is not an acceptable source for bio info in Wiki - stop it. Find a reliable source. The only reliable reference that can be used is the credits for Ice Age: Continental Drift and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs had an actor named Lucas Leguizamo in those films. The film itself is a reliable primary source of its own credits. IMDb editors just transcribe credits into articles and may or may not do so reliably. Any link of Lucas Leguizamo being another name for Ryder Lee Leguizamo requires a reference that is NOT IMDb. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:20, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

[edit]In answer to your statement that my revert was not justified as it was "bot, not a Good reason for deletion [sic]", please be aware that CC is a featured article and that anything being added needs to be in keeping with the rest of the article in terms of quality. I had no problem with the source, but it was the formatting which left a lot to be desired. Dodgy edits, such as yours, will always be challanged no matter what as it is imperative that we keep CC in great condition. Thanks. Cassiantotalk 10:06, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on S.M.A.R.T.. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Aoidh (talk) 20:34, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. However, please remember that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors on Ukraine Is Not a Brothel. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

[edit] When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Landmark Worldwide, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
- If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
- If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
- If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;
If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. Bbb23 (talk) 05:43, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Landmark Worldwide shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi,
We do not link to Twitter or other social media when the subject has an official web site. Those links should be on the subject's website, and if they are not it is because the subject does not want to advertise them to the public. Please see WP:ELPEREN. Please do not keep re-adding the Twitter link to Steve Gibson (computer programmer). Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 18:27, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
Also, if an external link is used as a reference, then it does not also get listed under external links. Thanks. Skyerise (talk) 18:35, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
Do you have a conflict of interest?
[edit]Hello, Xb2u7Zjzc32. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Steve Gibson (computer programmer), you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 22:29, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Searches as citations
[edit]Wikipedia does not allow searches of any site to be used as citations. Citations must be to independent, third-party sources that explicitly state the fact being represented in the article. We do not allow original research, and web and site searches are exactly that, research. Skyerise (talk) 23:22, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Talk page etiquette
[edit]Please review WP:USERTALK. It is considered harassment to repeatedly restore a message on another user's talk page. I read your message, it was not deserving of a response. I removed it. Please do not restore it again. Thanks. Skyerise (talk) 22:23, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
[edit]This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 16:25, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

I noticed that you requested full protection [1] and used a news source with the request and said there was "*vandalism by editors, removing signatures". I don't understand. There were no signatures removed from the talk page and I'm about the only one who has edited the page. I am unclear what you are stating.--Mark Miller (talk) 00:59, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a good deal of freedom in what you write. Alex2006 (talk) 13:41, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Capicola. Alex2006 (talk) 14:29, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of FBReader, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.wikipediatldr.com/wiki/FBReader.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 01:27, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of FBReader
[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.
A tag has been placed on FBReader requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.wikipediatldr.com/articles/803568/fbreader. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. reddogsix (talk) 01:37, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article FBReader is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FBReader until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Shii (tock) 09:04, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Cut & paste moves
[edit]Hello, Xb2u7Zjzc32. The copyright problem at FBReader was created, not by copying from the external site, but by cutting & pasting material from one page to another on Wikipedia. The bot often helps detect such problems.
Content on Wikipedia is not public domain, but is licensed liberally for use and modification if the terms of the license are met. One of the terms of the license is that content must be attributed - we must maintain a list of contributors connected to the content itself. When you cut & paste content from one page to another, you do not comply with the license and the resultant content becomes a copyright infringement.
I have fixed this by putting the history of the article back with the material you placed in article space. If you have moved content by cutting and pasting in the past, please request a history merge so that the copyright concerns can be resolved.
If in the future you wish to give a page a new name or relocate it, please move it instead of copying & pasting it.
As an additional note, if you just wish to duplicate content between pages - for instance, if a paragraph is more appropriate in another article or is appropriate in both - you handle attribution differently, although attribution is still required. The process is explained at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:00, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, that is copying. You didn't actually undelete it, because you cannot undelete it. Only administrators can do that. Any time you move content from one page to another that was edited by somebody other than you, that's undeleting.
- However, you didn't actually have to undelete the content; it was not deleted at the time you created the new space. It was in Wikipedia:Draft space. What should be done in such cases is a page move. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:28, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

authorlink
[edit]Hi,
I saw your change to New York Singing Teachers' Association, adding links from the author's first name and last name to Gerald Nachman (journalist). Rather than code it as:
- *{{cite book|ref=harv |last=[[Gerald Nachman (journalist)|Nachman]]|first=[[Gerald Nachman (journalist)|Gerald]] |title=Raised on Radio |year=2000}}
a neater way is to code it as:
- *{{cite book|ref=harv |last=Nachman|first=Gerald |authorlink=Gerald Nachman (journalist) |title=Raised on Radio |year=2000}}
You can add ... |authorlink=author name ... with any of the citation templates (no square brackets needed).
With citations that do not use templates, you can link the whole name, so instead of:
- <ref>[[Gerald Nachman (journalist)|Nachman]], [[Gerald Nachman (journalist)|Gerald]]. ''Raised on Radio'' (Pantheon Books 1998), p. 186.</ref>
you can code:
- <ref>[[Gerald Nachman (journalist)|Nachman, Gerald]]. ''Raised on Radio'' (Pantheon Books 1998), p. 186.</ref>
Either way, the result is minutely better because when the reader hovers the mouse over the name they do not get a gap between the first and last names.
- Before: Nachman, Gerald
- After: Nachman, Gerald

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:04, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
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.
A tag has been placed on Association For the Protection Of Internet Copyright requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.a-w.org/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:49, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
Please stop changing references and adding unreliable secondary sources to Lada St. Edmund
[edit]Hi there. Thanks for editing Wikipedia! I don't really understand why you are changing the references on the Lada St. Edmund article. I cleaned up the reference that was broken (the Neilsen) however, using Facebook and Photobucket as references doesn't fly on Wikipedia - they are unreliable sources. We have to use reliable secondary sources which the article uses. Feel free to review that here: WP:RELIABLE. Thanks again for editing Wikipedia. Missvain (talk) 18:07, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

"BloodPop"
[edit]I actually do understand Wikipedia biographies, having worked on them for many years. I've also read what you've written so far for this man; this is not a biographical article, but a squealy fan page. For that matter, perhaps I'm just missing it, but what reliable source gives his name as "Michael Tucker"? I'm seeing several saying it is Michael Diamond; for example, [2] [3] [4] [5] [6], etc. Regardless, have your fun, I'm removing all music articles from my watchlist; they've simply grown too toxic. — Huntster (t @ c) 02:26, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
- Actually, it is a well researched stub. Unfortunately, some of these sources have sloppy errors, needing corroborating references. You may need to read all the sources to gain an understanding of his biography. I hope you see the NPOV. THERE IS NO "squealy".

[edit]"Which articles do you think are good examples of similar biographies?" - Mako, Martin Garrix, Ookay, etc.
"Remember this is not a good article, just a stub, a start, and you are encouraged to improve it." - Of course I know that. I added the tags to remind other editors who want to improve this article. I would improve it myself, but I've been busy (since adding the tags).
"Please read all referenced articles first. Is English not your first language?" - I don't want to read them because I can figure out how a DJ/Musician article should look like and what's with the sarcasm?

- (this was meant as friendly encouragement)
- Please read all referenced articles first.
- (this is meant as a nota bene)
- (because most of the reference articles are sloppy {with the exception of a couple} and thus, a good wikipedia article for this bioigraphy requires a synthesis of facts, corroborated between articles)
- Is English not your first language ?
- (your page, and your usage of the language, and where you say you live , lead me to conclude that your first language is not english, it was not intended to seem sarcastic.)

- All sources are recipes so it fails WP:NOTE and this also conflicts with WP:NOTRECIPE
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Drewmutt (talk) 01:49, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Kat Dennings. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
Quit adding those links to Kat Dennings' page. Details of when she started tweeting or her YouTube activity are not at all pertinent to her page and fall under WP:IINFO and WP:TRIVIA, especially when the sources are not independent. snapsnap (talk) 17:46, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Kat Dennings, you may be blocked from editing.
No, the information you're trying to add is not notable at all. Spamming the page with a bunch of social media links is certainly not an improvement. Did you even bother to review Wikipedia policies? Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Using reliable sources over social media is not "misleading". In fact, all information must be verified by third-party sources that are not closely affiliated with the subject, which is not the case with your edits. snapsnap (talk) 02:53, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
References
[edit]Reliable sourcing
[edit]In October, you added a number of references to Computer Networks: The Heralds of Resource Sharing. I have removed most of them, as they were not good sources. Several copied from Wikipedia, others were self-published books, most were in passing mentions. Also, listing a series of references like that (even if they were reliable) without using the references in the article is poor practice. I made use of a couple of your sources i.e. cited facts from those sources, and found some better sources. Fences&Windows 23:29, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

[edit]This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at Jessica Chastain, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 11:54, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Jessica Chastain shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 12:01, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Juan M. Thompson until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. -KAP03(Talk • Contributions) 18:55, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Juan M. Thompson
[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.
A tag has been placed on Juan M. Thompson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Speedy deletion nomination of Juan M. Thompson
[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.
A tag has been placed on Juan M. Thompson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Bad category
[edit]Pls do not add bad category. DePiep (talk) 22:30, 4 June 2017 (UTC) DePiep (talk) 22:30, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Warning
[edit]Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to MasterChef Australia (series 4). It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. WWGB (talk) 01:23, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
Suggestion
[edit]If you want to do something constructive, I suggest you write a Ben Milbourne article to include his stints on MasterChef, Ben's Menu and Food Lab. That is preferable to inserting bad links into existing articles. WWGB (talk) 02:06, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Not ignoring electric power lines besides mains, at fire alarm call box
[edit]I tried to improve fire alarm call box (with this dynamic IP address) by specifying that VoIP equipment needs external power to run, rather than just "power" period. But that improvement got reverted by a user who doesn't understand telephony enough to know that PSTN lines have their own power that basic phones run on. ("Well, DUH, what did you think the basic phones ran on: magic fairy dust?") So before I added the improvement that he faultily reverted, the article made the errant implication that the only kind of line power comes from mains, hence my having added clarification words such as "external" to "power," to indicate to the people whom my above parenthetical phrase applies to that PSTN lines have their own power, while the article already covers that VoIP and the charging of cell phones takes another source of line power. So let's agree to use my improvement in this regard, rather than regressing the article to a less correct form, shall we?
I left this at the talk page there. Will you please come and try to help out?
Thanks, if so,

editing Eliza Pittsinger
[edit]Hi -- I'm helping organize an edit-a-thon in a few weeks. Someone suggested that your background work on Eliza A. Pittsinger would be good fodder for someone to incorporate more content in that article. It sounds like a good idea, but I don't want to step on your toes. Would it suit you if someone were to do that? Please let me know what you think. Thanks! -Kenirwin/(talk) 12:55, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
