In response to your feedback

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your feedback

As every human, some Wikipedia admins could sometimes look or be pretentious, but you'll quickly find the majority of the admins are dedicated people who want to build a great encyclopedic project and serve the community.

Did you encounter a specific issue? If so, let me a message and I will try to clarify the situation, so you can understand all aspects.

Zoe Quinn Discretionary Sanctions Notice

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, 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 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.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.

Hello, I'm Binksternet. An edit that you recently made to Sheryl Crow seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Binksternet (talk) 05:19, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:David Gerard

If he talks with 'two different voices,' that's probably because he is both a content editor and an Administrator here. Or it could just be the martinis. Either way, it's irrelevant. 79.68.139.189 (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Long Live the Worker's Party of Korea

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 Long Live the Worker's Party of Korea 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 {{{value1}}}. 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.

Disambiguation link notification for May 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hawaiki, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Polynesian. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:15, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NPP

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your interest in keeping our articles upm to date. Howevr, I have removed a WP:PROD you recently placed on a redirect page. Please do NOT tag any pages in Wikipedia, and above all, no tags that infer deletion. With only 200 edits to mainspace, you do not have sufficient experience for maintenance tasks. If you wish to help the project, with 200 mainspace edits, you now qualify to enroll at the WP:CVUA and learn how to revert vandalism. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:24, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kudpung: Which page was that BrxBrx (talk) 14:57, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You can find out by checking your contributions and/or your patrol logs. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:30, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kudpung:, I made a number of speedies yesterday that were deleted. user:BrxBrx(user talk:BrxBrx)^{(please reply with { {re|BrxBrx}})} 15:44, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By all means continue to patrol recent changes for vandalism, but please do not patrol new pages, you do not have near enough experience and you are still not fully conversant with some of our basic editing principles. You will pick these things up soon enough if you concentrate on adding new content which is what we generally hope new users have joined Wikipedia to do and for which plenty of help is available.

RM about Luxe

Hi, I've closed your Requested Move on Talk:Luxe (app) because it's unnecessary. Luxe (app) redirects to Luxe (company). If I'm missing something, feel free to contact me. (not watching this page, please {{ping}} me if you respond). Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:25, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Anarchyte: The redirect was created by a user who did not move the page properly. Consequently, the page "luxe (company)" does not have the history associated with "luxe (app)". The user moved the page "luxe (app)" to "luxe (company)" by manually copy-pasting, and manually creating the redirect on luxe (app).

Homechallange55

Thanks for the message, but just to clear things up. I wasn't the one that started it, he did. He keeps saying the info is false, but really they are not. I've asked kindly to stop vandalizing the articles but he won't stop. Can you please ban him please. I was only trying to keep the articles sourced/correct for the way they are, because people are going to get confused to see them removed, and I was only trying to prevent that from happening. 2600:1000:B07D:E01E:24BD:5E66:77D0:D18C (talk) 03:26, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@2600:1000:B07D:E01E:24BD:5E66:77D0:D18C: I would advise you not to play the game of "s/he started it", as it does not support your position. At any rate, I can't judge on how reliable the source you are promoting is, although I suspect it may indeed not qualify under reliable, encyclopedic sources. If you believe that the editor in question is vandalizing, I'd advise that you take it up to an administrator, but also to keep the 3RR in mind, and to avoid the impression of owning the article, or edit warring. BrxBrx(talk)^{(please reply with { {re|BrxBrx}})} 03:30, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Look, I wasn't playing any game against anyone at all, ok!, don't blame me for it. By the way me and him as settled now, no need to worry. Sources are all set. 174.192.5.193 (talk) 03:42, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Potassium nitrate, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

March 2017

Your recent editing history at WikiLeaks 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.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Operation Flowers are Blooming into INS Vindhyagiri. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:18, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
