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) 16:28, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

February 2017

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Smoking (cooking), 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.

In this case it was especially problematic because you over-wrote part of an older comment by an ip user, but left their signature attached to your edit. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:29, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it up, ...

Please keep editing, to the extent you have somethings to say. Please enter something on your user page. Doing so enhances your credibility and facilitates communication with other editors. Smokefoot (talk) 19:51, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020

Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like you to assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not do on Stainless steel. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Your edit summaries on this page could be seen to be inflammatory and discourteous. Darren-M talk 19:21, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Stainless steel. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Enough. Keep your opinions of other editors out of the edit summaries. Meters (talk) 22:07, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The editor's restoration of the "When?" tag was justified. The cited source may be from 2013, but it says "nothing" to support "With the development of high performance glues, interest has recently developed in adhesive bonding". The brochure simply lists some useful glues for stainless steel. It does not say when glues started to be used, or that it was because of recent developments. Even if the source did give a date, it would still be appropriate to ask for a specific date in the article rather than the vague "recent". Meters (talk) 22:35, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Bacondrum. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Bacondrum (talk) 22:24, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Controversial topic area alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
