Disambiguation link notification for March 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trixter, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kix. 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.

query re edits to an article

Dear Thief12,

I write about some edits you appear to have done on a particular article, specifically "Markland, Newfoundland and Labrador". Do you have some special interest in this article, or was this part of a large-scale automated editing project? One of the article references is to a photograph on Flickr, which we may not want to keep linked (it relates to my family), but am checking first whether there is an important reason for the link or if it's just something a program identified and linked automatically.

Thanks,

Not a particular interest, really. I have a penchant of editing random articles; I just hit the "Random article" link and then start researching whatever comes up to expand an article. I think this was one of those. As for the Flickr link, it's just there to confirm that, indeed, the Hodge River runs through the area, but I don't think we need the Flickr link to verify that. Let me know if you need my help with anything. Thief12 (talk) 00:48, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

August 2017

Hello, I'm SanAnMan. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to American Grit have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please do not add information without sources. SanAnMan (talk) 20:07, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Why are they not constructive when the "Occupation" and the "Hometown" are used during the show to identify the contestants during interviews AND the previous season does include them? The source is the show itself. Thief12 (talk) 22:06, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the information but added a source. I hope that was enough. If not, let me know. Thief12 (talk) 00:16, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Thief12: Much better, thanks. We can't just add information like that to an article without having it sourced. It's part of what makes Wikipedia reliable. Best wishes. - SanAnMan (talk) 20:03, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
