April 2012

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to History of the Baltimore Colts, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use your sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Theopolisme (talk) 17:22, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

I do not agree with Theopolisme's above message. It appears that Theopolisme is (relatively) inexperienced and was using automated tools too fast without checking the edits they were reverting. It appears you were in the process of creating the page in question and made a mistake when Theopolisme came along and acted too quickly. I would ignore the above erroneous message if I were you. Rgrds, (Dynamic IP, will change when I log off.) --64.85.216.181 (talk) 13:06, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Lee McGriff

The article Lee McGriff has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Jeremy Lin does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! —Bagumba (talk) 09:53, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your recent edit to the page Ray Allen appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in this encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite the references or sources or before making the changes, discuss them on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for any tests that you wish to make. Do take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you. All NBA deals are unofficial until the July moratorium ends on July 11. Please refrain from updating unsourced official deals. If you want to form a new consensus, please discuss at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association#Free_agent_signings. —Bagumba (talk) 00:22, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Lugia2453. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to New York Yankees, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Lugia2453 (talk) 15:39, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at New York Yankees with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you. Lugia2453 (talk) 15:39, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to New York Yankees with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. — MusikAnimal ^talk 15:44, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sports in Massachusetts, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Boston Shamrocks. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello. When citing Internet sources, please use the Template:cite web format as opposed to bare URLS. Using bare URLS is less professional, and in the information is rendered inaccessible if the version of the page is archived. Using the template allows for easier retrieval of the source.

Just an Alert

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Yeah an alert, and like I said, you should read the comment next to material you changed. Galobtter (pingó mió) 16:20, 9 January 2018 (UTC) +Donald Trump has a lot of restrictions - WP:1RR, consensus required before restoration etc - see it on Talk:Donald_Trump Galobtter (pingó mió) 16:22, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

From your editsum: "Who the hell needs consensus to such a minor edit." Answer: Everybody at that article. Proceed with caution. ―Mandruss ☎ 17:07, 9 January 2018 (UTC) As explained, a consensus has determined it to be just New York City (because its redundant to state it's in new york and united states)and so it shouldn't be changed without consensus for your change. Further reversion will result in a block. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:08, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bergeronp! Questions about the above “Alert”? I wrote a quick & dirty FAQ—check it out here. If you have any questions about policies or editing or anything else just ask me on my talk page :-) – Lionel^(talk) 05:08, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request for Abraham Lincoln

Some sources I found that could be added for the "assassination" section on the Abraham Lincoln page. These have mentioned by some respected sources, and even a few historians.

“As he died his breathing grew quieter, his face more calm. According to some accounts, at his last drawn breath, on the morning after the assassination, he smiled broadly and then expired. Historians have emphasized Lincoln's peaceful appearance when and after he died. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Lincoln Administration, Maunsell Bradhurst Field wrote, "I had never seen upon the President's face an expression more genial and pleasing." The President’s secretary, John Hay, saw "a look of unspeakable peace came upon his worn features".“

Disambiguation link notification for July 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Presidency of Gerald Ford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republican Party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
