Editing textual quotations
[edit]Hi. You edited a quotation in Goju ryu article. I reverted the change because quotations are never edited. Please, refer to the Wikipedia Style Guide.

Kenpo Schools
[edit]Hi! I returned some of kenpo articles to the list of schools. I was wondering why you had removed them. jmcw (talk) 15:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
- And I thought a bit more and thought "Why not remove all of them?" Talk:Kenpō#Proposal_to_Remove_the_List_of_Schools jmcw (talk) 15:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Shorin-ryu articles
[edit]I noticed that you have been adding {{Karate schools}} to all of the articles of Shorin-ryu branches. I do not think this template belongs on these pages. The {{Karate schools}} template is growing too large, and should not contain branches of styles. For this reason, I created {{Shōrin-ryū styles}}. The current (rough) organization of martial arts templates is the all-encompassing {{Martial arts}}, with {{Karate schools}} as a subset of that, and {{Shōrin-ryū styles}} as a subset of that. Even though the Shorin-ryu branches are martial arts, the martial arts template would not be used on these articles. Similarly, the karate schools template should not be used on these articles. The general philosophy on navigation templates is that a template should only be used on an article that is linked in the template. Since the Shorin-ryu branches are on their own template, they should not also be on the karate schools template.
Also, are you aware that some of your edits removed the Japanese kanji for the names of the style? I think it would be nice to keep this information in the article. --Scott Alter 23:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing these. --Scott Alter 03:47, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

Notability of My Favorite Bullet
[edit]A tag has been placed on My Favorite Bullet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Corvus cornixtalk 22:36, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of My Favorite Bullet
[edit]A tag has been placed on My Favorite Bullet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Woland (talk) 21:53, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of My Favorite Bullet
[edit]A proposed deletion template has been added to the article My Favorite Bullet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. CalendarWatcher (talk) 01:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
December 2008
[edit]Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Gimme danger (talk) 05:42, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
My edit on Northern Shaolin (martial art)
[edit]I just wanted to let you know that I changed what you had just added to the Northern Shaolin article. My source is the book The Shaolin Monastery (2008) by Prof. Meir Shahar. It is the definitive book on the subject. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 20:04, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Articles for deletion nomination of Linda King
[edit]I have nominated Linda King, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Linda King. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Burpelson AFB (talk) 03:13, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Linda King
[edit]Hello Rossen4, this is a message from an automated bot to inform you that the page you created, Linda King, has been marked for speedy deletion by User:C.Fred. This has been done because the page seems to be about a person, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant (see CSD). If you think the tag was placed in error, please add "{{hangon}}
" to the page text, and edit the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. If you have a question about this bot, please ask it at User talk:SDPatrolBot II. If you have a question for the user who tagged the article, see User talk:C.Fred. Thanks, - SDPatrolBot II (talk) on behalf of C.Fred (talk · contribs) 17:23, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Philip Corbin
[edit]An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Philip Corbin. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Philip Corbin. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:09, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Friendly request
[edit] Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Chromium (web browser) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - Ahunt (talk) 20:12, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Your recent editing history at Modern Buddhism shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Also, please use edit summaries. Singularity42 (talk) 00:57, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- I have started a discussion at Talk:Modern Buddhism so that you can explain why you are making the changes. Please comment there. Singularity42 (talk) 01:02, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! I noticed that you have never used edit summaries in your entire 5 years on Wikipedia. This can be considered disruptive editing, and contrary to the collaborative spirit of Wikipedia.

ANI discussion
[edit]Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:Rossen4's conduct. Thank you. Singularity42 (talk) 13:32, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Rossen, After Singularity left the above notes on your talkpage, you have continued editing, but haven't responded here, or on the talkpage of Modern Buddhism. That gives me the idea that you either not reading the messages on your talkpage, or are unwilling to discuss differences. That makes me concerned you may be pushing your own view through, which would go in to the collaborative project Wikipedia is. I would appreciate it if you could comment here, to avoid things getting out of hand. Regards, Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 14:10, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
Rossen4: I simply deleted a doubled link. The link in the third entry of the page went to the same page as the link in the second entry of the page. I didn't actually delete any info. Just removed the second instance of the same link.
- Rossen4, thank you for responding. I now understand your edit, and have no issue with it. Please in the future, use edit summaries, especially when another editor is challenging your edits. That would have avoided this from escalating in the first place. Singularity42 (talk) 20:40, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Ian Wright (traveller).jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Ian Wright (traveller).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) 17:59, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Content on flag of Tibet
[edit]Hi! I just wanted to apologise about the reversal of your edits on flag of Tibet. What you said in the SPI is correct, the linked war was indeed not the one the article should've referred to. I might have got a bit too revert-happy on China-related articles because of my experiences on other pages (like Amazing China). It is of course my responsibility to make sure that I'm not reverting good additions of content (like yours), but I would still like to ask you to consider using the edit summary a bit more often, to explain yourself and to avoid situations like this one. Sorry for the mess! Doanri (talk) 18:52, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
"but I would still like to ask you to consider using the edit summary a bit more often, to explain yourself and to avoid situations like this one." That's certainly a good idea. Sorry for not using it. I'll remember to do so in the future. Thanks.

[edit]Your recent editing history at White Helmets (Syrian Civil War) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. VQuakr (talk) 00:25, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Request for a self-revert, and a note about BRD
[edit]Hello, I have recently been following your contributions at White Helmets (Syrian Civil War). From the history, it seems multiple editors have been contesting the content you have been adding by way of their reverts. I myself reverted one of your edits [1]; I did this not because I explicitly disagree with your edits, but rather I am requesting that all involved parties discuss the content at Talk:White Helmets (Syrian Civil War). This is a core part of WP:BRD, in which discussions take place to determine if there is a consensus to add objected to content to an article. Given that multiple editors have contested to the content you have been adding, I would like to request that you self-revert your recent edit so that a discussion can talk place on the relevant talk page. If you have any questions of me, feel free to ask. Best.--SamHolt6 (talk) 00:54, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Note
[edit]A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Stikkyy t/c 04:13, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
It's worth noting that you've went 5RR already in 24 hours. It's your content that you're adding, and if it's attracting opposition, I reckon the onus is on you to try to communicate with others and to argue your own point besides slapping your own "verified" stamp on contentious sources.

The article Angela Minervini has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 03:20, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ksudraka Agama
[edit]Hello Rossen4,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ksudraka Agama for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Āgama (Buddhism) into another page. 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. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 11:42, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

[edit]An article you recently created, Samyukta Agama, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

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.

Contentious Topics notification
[edit]Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
