I've learned quite a bit since I first started editing in 2009, but there are so many more things for me to learn as well. I've made several mistakes over the years and have experienced my fair share of getting scolded for not following policy, but I am trying to do better. Of course, there are times when I feel like people take things way too seriously and end up making it impossible for interested contributors to share what they know. On the other hand, it makes sense to be as critical as possible when attempting to verify information on the Free Encyclopedia as a whole. Feel free to discuss anything you like with me in here.
Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Ayumi Hamasaki, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you.
About your edits
[edit]Everything added to Wikipedia must be proven by a reliable source. The source used to back up the 70 million claim does not support what you wrote, also A Song for XX was released in 1999 and My Story was released in 2004. And the part about Duty selling 3 million was, like the 70 million claim was not proven by the source. I welcome you to make more edits on Wikipedia, however make sure that what you add is supported by sources, reliable sources. MS (Talk|Contributions) 21:32, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Ayumi Hamasaki. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. MS (Talk|Contributions) 21:36, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Ayumi Hamasaki discography. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. MS (Talk|Contributions) 21:46, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article Ayumi Hamasaki, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Ayumi Hamasaki
[edit]Stop adding bad sources and unsourced information to the Ayumi Hamasaki pages. You have been doing so ever since you started to edit Wikipedia and you have ignored all warnings given to you and continue to do so. If you refuse to stop I will ask a admin to handle it. Also stop editing as User:Zakdos. You need to edit under one account. If you chose not to then I will report your other account and have it blocked. MS (Talk|Contributions) 20:48, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- Fan sites are also bad sources. MS (Talk|Contributions) 14:54, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Please do not add hat notes to every article that coincidentally contains the word "Rainbow". For other albums named "Rainbow", there might be an argument to have it, but certainly not for entries whose full name is different and are unrelated to music. It's already listed at Rainbow (disambiguation), which is more than sufficient. Additional links on all the other articles appear to be promotional linkspamming. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:07, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Ayumi Hamasaki
[edit]Hello! Thank you for all your contributions to Ayumi articles. I hope you continue contributing. Do you happen to know anything about Ayumi's album reviews (like Rainbow)? I've expanded the article a lot. Novice7 | Talk 10:23, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Just FYI: I reverted your edit to Harry Potter. It was in entirely the wrong place - not just in the article - the entire article is about the book series, not the films. I am sure that the film grosses of that release are adequately covered in the article, Harry Potter (film series). Elizium23 (talk) 05:11, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Please quit equating Lucifer and Satan in Peter Binsfield's classification of demons, as you have done in Classification of Demons and Seven princes of Hell. If you examine the sources provided in those articles, you will find that Binsfield treated those figures as separate, and did not list Amon as the demon of wrath. If you have sources for another historical list of demons that lists Amon and combines Lucifer with Satan, you are welcome to present them for a separate entry.

Enemy of the state edit
[edit]Hello Sapphire. Please take a look at your recent edit on "Enemy of the state". Why do you have <nowiki>text</nowiki>? (This is a problem that comes about from VisualEditor.)– S. Rich (talk) 14:27, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
- Greetings, S. Rich. I apologize for that. I didn't realize it would end up looking like that after editing. Thank you very much for correcting my mistake. Sapphirewhirlwind (talk) 07:12, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi, and welcome back to Wikipedia! :P
[edit]Hi, Zach, and welcome back to Wikipedia, I hope! :P
Anyway, please feel free to help me out with the Manila Metro Rail Transit System article, which is currently undergoing a featured article review, which is here. Feel free to take liberties with it, and contribute to the FAR discussion. :) --Sky Harbor (talk) 05:03, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
(P.S.: If you're looking for Filipino Wikipedians, just head on out to WP:TAMBAY. Or don't hesitate to ask for help as well at the Teahouse.)
- Thank you so much, Josh! I owe you a lot for getting me to enjoy editing again :) Sapphirewhirlwind (talk) 13:19, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Nice to meet you, Barnstar Fan.
[edit]Hi Zach. :) It was so nice to meet you in Manila last week. I looked for your user page on TLWP, but it doesn't look like you have one yet. I wanted to share with you the WP:Barnstars page since you liked the barnstar buttons I brought so much. One that's not included there is the illustrious Philippine Barnstar! :) You can see it deployed on a user page here. I'm very proud of your participation on Project Kisame and I hope you will continue your contribution to the Wikimedia projects, especially in Philippine languages and on Philippine topics, just like Kuya Xiao Chua said. :) Ingat, Anna Koval (WMF) (talk) 10:33, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Ate Anna! Kamusta ka na? It was really great to meet you too in at the Edit-a-thon. Yes, I absolutely love the barnstar pins (as well as the generic Wikipedia and Creative Commons pins), I still have | them actually. As for the TLWP, I'll get to work on that eventually, just as soon as I'm finished with [stuff] here. Marunong naman ako mag tagalog, pero mas madali lang para sakin ang paggamit ng Ingles. Minor correction though, | Project Kisame is not part of Wikimedia or Wikipedia, but a separate operation under the jurisdiction of the | National Commission for Culutre and the Arts. You must have meant the CHMP of Wikimedia Philippines. Oh, and belated Happy Halloween! We're all hoping you and Ate Carolynne come back to visit some time soon. Maraming salamat po :) Zach Hontiveros Pagkalinawan (talk) 07:05, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Osaka Castle, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. DAJF (talk) 08:28, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm Doniago. I wanted to let you know that I undid your recent edits to the Stardust (2007 film) plot summary because they added a significant amount of unneeded detail. Please avoid excessive detail and high word counts when editing plot summaries/synopses. You may read the plot summary edit guides to learn more about contributing constructively to plot summaries/synopses. There are also specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- DonIago (talk) 14:34, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the compliments. KotOR II was a fantastic game, for all its shortcomings, and Kreia was beautifully complex. It's great to see her with her own article again, and I'd meant to do it a while ago. You don't, of course, have to ask my permission before editing. Watch out for original research, though, stifling as it may be at times. – The Millionth One (talk) (contribs) 16:49, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Help decide the future of Wikimania
[edit]
The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).
After reviewing the consultation, we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey.
In addition, feel free to share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.
With thanks,
I JethroBT (WMF) (talk), from Community Resources 23:46, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Last December, I invited you to share your views on the value of Wikimedia conferences and the planning process of Wikimania.
