Not sure what you were doing here, or why you were trying to blackball a pope in Devil's advocate based on a news article, where you changed "some critics maintain" to "many contended". Drmies (talk) 00:26, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

March 2022

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Sunday sporting events, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:06, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

August 2022

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Have a nice day. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Lord Belbury (talk) 15:42, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Newfoundland (island) seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DBaK (talk) 20:32, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Willis V. McCall, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Meters (talk) 07:28, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at United Church of Canada, you may be blocked from editing. Meters (talk) 07:30, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at John Dearden. Bump to level 4 for earlier unsourced POV editing. Enough. Don't include your unsourced opinions and WP:OR Meters (talk) 07:34, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have had multiple previous warnings about unsourced, OR, or POV edits. Meters (talk) 07:36, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

February 2023

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Mark_Brnovich, you may be blocked from editing. BBQboffin (talk) 07:15, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We don't understand why you're making things up, like you did here. If you don't provide a rational explanation, you are very likely to be blocked. Pinging @Drmies:, who warned you above. Celia Homeford (talk) 17:04, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is well known that Queen Victoria, the Grandmother of Europe, (unwittingly I am sure) spread hemophilia throughout the royal houses on the continent. The problem was exacerbated by the practice of marrying close cousins. In addition to the suffering the disease brought to its victims and their families, there were particularly tragic results in Russia. The heir to the throne had hemophilia, but that was state secret. With the Tsar away at the war, and his wife and Rasputin at home, people began to talk, and that helped to destabilize the monarchy, contributing to its eventual demise and the murder of the entire family. The Romanovs were close relatives of the British royal family.

The article already mentioned “modernization.” One aspect of that may have been a realization that marrying royal princesses of Europe, many of whom were their close relatives, and who might be carriers, was a bad idea. Thus, the Duke of York’s decision to marry outside the family may have been motivated by a desire to reduce the risk of disease as well as for any benefit in public popularity.Alexander Springstea (talk) 23:41, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa--what was this? BBQboffin, thanks for reverting that--that's insanity. Same with the hemophilia edit: this needs to stop. Drmies (talk) 21:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To which article are you referring? Alexander Springstea (talk) 23:42, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Patrick Francis Healy. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Ergo Sum 15:12, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at The Wizard of Oz (1939 film), you may be blocked from editing. DonIago (talk) 07:17, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
