National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. CMD (talk) 08:29, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

November 2021

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! — Hydrogenation (talk) 20:00, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination for deletion of Template:Use Talossan English

Template:Use Talossan English has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the entry on the Templates for discussion page. — Hydrogenation (talk) 20:52, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

February 2022

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Cristabel0 (talk) 12:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 2022

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Finland. 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. You have already been warned multiple times to not change spelling variations without good reason.

Disambiguation link notification for March 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Eric Monkman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oakville. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:05, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Page splits require attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Xlendi into Caroline Cauchi. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 13:18, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May 2022

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to 2022, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

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

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Still changing national varieties. TylerBurden (talk) 13:25, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Related to this, familiarising yourself with WP:ISE and MOS:IZE would be worthwhile. No edit summary was given here (you should get in the habit of making them) but, if a supposition of MOS:TIES was your basis, please be aware that both -ise and -ize are acceptable in British English. You should not make such changes purely on personal preference. Mutt Lunker (talk) 10:05, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Caroline Cauchi

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page Caroline Cauchi has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://web.archive.org/web/20101126102001/http://philatelydominicanorder.org/caroline_cauchi.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review.

I realize that you split this article off from Xlendi and were not the original contributor, but unfortunately all of the text was copied from the singular reference. DanCherek (talk) 23:56, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Top of the Lake, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Several editors have given you warnings about you apparently making style changes based solely only on your personal preference, changing perfectly valid stylings, in many cases going against MOS:TIES. You have responded to none of them and you are continuing to edit to force your preferences. Please engage and desist from your campaign. Mutt Lunker (talk) 15:22, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.TylerBurden (talk) 15:00, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please note the essay WP:Communication is required. If you don't respond, the community will likely assume you are acting in bad faith and simply block you. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 19:41, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dennis Brown and @JBW, since the ANI thread was archived when this editor seemingly went inactive, I'm pinging you here. The inactivity didn't last long, and Maxwell unfortunately doesn't seem to have listened much because they are still making WP:BLP violating edits as seen here and here, there could be others as I haven't checked all their recent edits. TylerBurden (talk) 19:27, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@TylerBurden: See below. JBW (talk) 21:34, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're still making unsourced changes to WP:BLP articles. Please desist. Seasider53 (talk) 11:04, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Block

You have been blocked from editing for 48 hours because you persist in making changes in articles without either citations to sources or edit summaries explaining what you are doing, and because of a total lack of response to messages from other editors. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and communication among editors is an essential part of the process.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. JBW (talk) 13:05, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nullah Road moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Nullah Road, 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. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:41, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Block 2

Unfortunately blocking you from editing for 48 hours had no effect: you have continued to do all of the things which were cited as reasons for the block. I have therefore blocked you from editing again, this time for two weeks. I really do not wish to prevent you from editing, but I see no other way of getting you to start communicating. If you are willing to undertake that in future you will provide edit summaries explaining what you are doing and citations to sources for information you add, and that you will start responding to messages from other editors, then please make an unblock request, as explained above. If you will make those changes to your editing practices then I will be happy to unblock you, or for any other administrator to unblock you, if they see doing so as appropriate, without consulting me. If, on the other hand, you continue in the same way after this block is over, you are likely to be blocked for a far longer time, perhaps even indefinitely. I hope you won't choose to make that necessary, as it would be unfortunate to lose you as an editor. JBW (talk) 21:32, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
