Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Survivor: Redemption Island. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:36, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to Survivor: Redemption Island. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This is your last warning; the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Nlu (talk) 11:57, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

How Wikipedia works
[edit]Hi. Please read WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle and WP:3RR. The idea is, if you see a change that you think will improve the encyclopedia, be BOLD and make it; but if it is reverted, do not re-revert, which may lead to an WP:Edit war. Edit wars are not allowed because, if they are allowed, articles end up in the state preferred by the most obstinate edit-warrior. Instead, discuss your proposed change on the article talk page and try to reach a WP:Consensus. If you cannot, there is WP:Dispute resolution. Please also read WP:Verifiability, a very important policy: Wikipedia is not for guessswork or gossip, we wait until something is confirmed by reliable sources.

Hi Gbold1. I noticed you created a Requests for Adminship page some time ago; I was wondering as to what the status of that request might be. I think it's fair to warn you that new users are rarely successful at RfA and that the Wikipedia editing community sets very high standards for editors running for adminship. That being said, I strongly urge you to read Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship, User:Davidwr/Administration is not for new users, and Wikipedia:Not now, and ask you to reconsider whether you really do wish to go through with your candidacy; please understand that you stand very little to no chance of passing RfA at this point and that you are strongly discouraged from running for adminship. If you are still intent on running for adminship with that request and are absolutely positive this is what you want, please do let me know; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete the RfA page for you in about a week or so from today.

- Your problem was with an IP user from Israel, informally known as the "Biggest Loser Vandal". Easily recognizable by the insertion of fake and/or unsourced material. Report to admins at WP:AIV, or drop me a line. Drmies (talk) 16:47, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello!

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Ranoclue (talk • contribs) 00:12, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

[edit]
Hello, I'm G S Palmer. I noticed that you recently removed some content from The Biggest Loser Australia (season 2) without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, 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!

Taigum/Tighgum
[edit]Hi, Gbold1! Regarding your changes to a number of articles in relation to Taigum/Tighgum. It's fine to provide information about the use of "Tighgum" as the earlier name and use it when discussing that period of time in history information. But "Taigum" is the official suburb name and the spelling in common use today, so it's not appropriate to use the older variant of the name when referring to the modern suburb in the Taigum, Queensland articles or in other articles. It would be OK if you said "Taigum (formerly Tighgum)" or something along those lines so it is clear to the reader which is the current name. And in a history section it would be reasonable to say "Tighgum (now known as Taigum)". If I can be of any help, please ask. Kerry (talk) 20:28, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
