Do not mark major edits as minor

Hi Dangerousalex! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. —J. M.

Date formats

Hey Alex :) Thought you should know that, per MOS:DATETIES, American BLPs and American-related articles use mdy dates, while European, Australian and New Zealand-related articles use dmy dates. Ridiculous, I know, but that's the way it works :/ Since Bree Runway is born and raised in the UK, it is required that her article be dmy, so please don't change it back to mdy. Thank you.

Six Flags (song) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Six Flags (song), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Edit summaries

Please explain your changes using edit summaries so that other editors know why you made the edits you did. For example, at Poster Girl (album), you reverted my edit without explanation after I left a detailed edit summary as to why my edit was constructive. Because you didn’t leave an edit summary, it might look to some editors like you ignored my comment and reverted my edit anyways. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 ^{(let's chat!)} 17:15, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021

Hello, I'm DarkGlow. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Foxes (singer), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! – DarkGlow (✉) 23:30, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sabrina Carpenter. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Do not remove valid sourcing of prior events just because of subsequent events – that is in no way a good edit. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 06:05, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sabrina Carpenter; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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 and 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. Elizium23 (talk) 06:06, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your usage of "would" in articles

Hi Alex, hope you're well. I've noticed that you still, and largely, make use of the word "would" in many articles you edit. Often, using "would" in a sentence, for example, such as "the song would go on to reach number one...", makes it sounds as though it is something that is yet to happen, or something that is predicted. Instead, you could just say "the song reached number one" or "the song went number one", which is effectively the same thing as what you are trying to convey, but in a more understandable way. Placing "would" in sentences in the manner you do is entirely unnecessary. This may not be your understanding of the word and the way you use it, but to the average reader, perhaps even readers who don't have a basic understanding of English, this could be confusing. I understand if this may be your everyday usage of the term, but could you please kindly try and adapt your writing to be more straight to the point? Thank you.

Your draft article, Draft:Six Flags (song)

Hello, Dangerousalex. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Six Flags".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:34, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Raye (singer), but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 09:16, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
