Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:Major general (United States), (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. - wolf 00:58, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please stop your disruptive editing

Your additions to the High Guardian Spice page clearly violate WP:DISRUPTSIGNS in more ways than one. I do not want to request semi-protection for that page, but will if you persist with your disruptive activity. Historyday01 (talk) 18:26, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My activity was not disruptive. The fact that you don't like it does not make it disruptive. Quite abusing WP:DISRUPTSIGNS 70.19.45.61 (talk) 14:02, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was disruptive. The page has to be neutral and your action goes against existing policy. Please stop with your disruptive edits which clearly violate WP:DISRUPTSIGNS, especially point 5. --Historyday01 (talk) 20:28, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The Silmarillion. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Please do not edit-war; you have rightly been reverted, as the Silmarillion is stated by multiple scholars to be mythopoeic; if you have a point to make, do it on the talk page. You cannot force through changes by edit-warring, it never works, and you can be blocked from editing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:06, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On the Silmarillion, it really isn't easy to understand why you might think that any part of it (or the whole) is a "short story". If you would take the time to read that article – or any introductory text about English literature and what a "short story" is – you will immediately see that the Silmarillion does not resemble such a thing in any way. More to the point, you are (repeatedly, which is forbidden) trying to modify the lead (i.e. summary) section of the article to claim something that the article text DOES NOT SAY, i.e. you are falsely claiming that the article text, which the lead summarizes, talks about short stories when it (quite rightly) doesn't. I'd be very grateful if you'd stop, as your editing is becoming disruptive, even if it began in good faith. If there's anything here you don't understand, ask me or the help desk and we'll explain further. I see other editors have also noticed your disruptive editing. Obviously, action can be taken against disruption. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:18, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Listen fanboy, I have an advanced degree in literature from an world-renowned Ivy League university, I do not need to read an "introductory text" to know a short story collection when I see one. Your need to validate yourself by elevating a collection of stories that have no central plot, protagonist, narrative, or dramatic question and are loosely linked by a common fictional mythology is a hang-up not appropriate to Wikipedia. There is nothin unique about the format of the Silmarillion that would set it apart from a collection of short stories by Chekhov or Hemingway. It is just that: a collection of short stories that taken together comprise Tolkien's posthumous body of work. Stop trying to make it something more that what it is: A BUNCH OF SHORT STORIES. 70.19.45.61 (talk) 17:08, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to South of the Border (attraction)! If you are interested in editing more often, I suggest you create an account to gain additional privileges. Happy editing! InvadingInvader (talk) 22:13, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:70.19.45.61#September 2022. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. - wolf 00:06, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
