Hello, I'm Wtmitchell. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Alexander Gesmundo— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 12:34, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

It looks like you've targeted my reversion instead of the actual nonconstructive edit. I've undone your reversion. Newslinger (talk) 12:39, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Newslinger. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that there is consensus that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and/or content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, as you did at Xoxzo. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course still be tagged and deleted immediately. This also applies to A7(waiting to tag it).Template:Z149 331dot (talk) 11:08, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I'll follow these guidelines in the future. Newslinger (talk) 11:15, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Spam Blacklist edits

Thanks for cleaning these up, but in some cases, removing those sources leaves a section of text completely unsupported by a reference. You might consider tagging those cases with {{citation needed}} so that the issue can be addressed by future editors. — AfroThundr ^{(u · t · c)} 12:50, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me. I'll look over my edits and I'll either add the tag or make content adjustments. Newslinger (talk) 12:53, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I came here to say the same thing. This edit [1] left behind an unsourced quote, which is not good. Also there was no edit summary, which made me hunt around in your contributions and talk page to figure out whether this was vandalism or not. Kendall-K1 (talk) 13:50, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

I accidentally omitted the edit summary for this edit. Sorry about that. I'm going to review my previous edits and add tags or replacement references before continuing. Newslinger (talk) 13:53, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

About Shared source

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Shared source a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Source available. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polyamorph (talk • contribs) 19:18, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. I'll request a move to avoid fragmenting the article history. — Newslinger talk 19:21, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Great! I think I made the same mistake the first page move I ever made too! Polyamorph (talk) 19:22, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

This is your first and last warning!

You have the COI here and are unfit to moderate and edit this page because personal dispute unjustified reasoning you have nothing contributed to the talk page of the ferrolens just issued you retarded delete tag.. . Three senior editors have passed this page and an administrator prior. I will report you for vandalism, harassment and COI. Also ask for Administrative Enforcement to make sure you get blocked from WP.

The next time... This WAS YOUR LAST WARNING!!...

I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN KEEP UP ALL THE TIME WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU!

Hi Markoulw, please join the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ferrolens. My nomination of the article is based solely on the general notability guidelines, and I have no personal dispute with you. — Newslinger talk 18:08, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
