Disambiguation link notification for November 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wagner Reloaded-Live in Leipzig, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages 7th Symphony, Genesis and Alex Silva (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Wagner

Hi! I have reverted your addition to Richard Wagner and given a rationale for this on the talk page of that article. By the way, do please be aware of the WP:3RR rule which you appear to have broken. Best, --Smerus (talk) 14:14, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:56, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Album page formatting

Hi there. I came across your new article The Lucky Golden Stripes and Starpose. I fixed it up quite a bit. Please look over how I formatted it and perhaps, if you make another article, this could be a reference to it. I am following the album style guide located here: WP:MOSALBUM for consistency. There were several formatting discrepancies.--Jennica✿ / ^talk 03:17, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and added a source to back up your recent addition to July 12. Please try to find sources for additions to these pages as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you.

September 2019

Please do not add or change content, as you did at September 26, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. We're not kidding about the note above about WP:DOY pages.

day-of-year articles

Thanks for including inline citations with your additions to day-of-year articles. It's a relatively new requirement and not everyone has gotten the word, so it's great that you're setting an example. Schazjmd (talk) 01:21, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They need to be reliable, too. Toddst1 (talk) 00:46, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Transfermarkt

Since much of its content is user-edited, Transfermarkt is not considered a reliable source. Please do not cite the website in articles. Thank you. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:05, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited January 13, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arthur Stevens (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.)

WP:DOY

A goal of this project is to ensure that all entries in the wiki-calendars are noteworthy as against merely newsworthy. Although professional footballers may comply with WP:FOOTY, they do not automatically qualify for a date of birth list. Of the five you have added in the last three days, only Ian St John can be considered noteworthy as he was an international who twice won the English league championship. Please ensure that sportspeople have accomplished a major achievement and not merely played for a club like Millwall. Thanks. No Great Shaker (talk) 16:02, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stats

Hi there - thanks for updating Gazzaniga's stats, but when doing so please can you also update the "stats correct as of" date, like this? [1] After your edit it said that he had played one EFL game for Fulham as of June this year, which of course isn't correct and could confuse readers. Thanks! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:35, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And your stats update to Bobby Decordova-Reid was incomplete... Giant Snowman 08:15, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

September 2022

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Tosin Adarabioyo. 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. Thank you. Telfordbuck (talk) 12:55, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:2preciious - cover - Europe.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:02, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
