February 2015[edit]

Hello, I'm Gilliam. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Iraq, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Gilliam (talk) 14:00, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 00:44, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

February 2017[edit]

Hello, I'm Mahveotm. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Nigeria 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. Thanks. ʍaɦʋɛօtʍ (talk) 03:54, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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)

I noticed your recent edit to Nigeria does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. The fact is, I have no idea why you were changing demographic figures in the article, so I reverted your edit. Rivertorch^FIRE _WATER 04:38, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

July 2017[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Babur. Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 20:28, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

April 2019[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Indonesia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Davidelit (Talk) 12:05, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
