Just a small note

[edit]

There is no need to "update" maintenance templates, as you did here and here. Rather, they shouldn't be updated (if the same problem applies), as dating the maintenance tags sorts them under subcategories of Category:Articles lacking sources (or whatever problem was tagged) to allow the oldest problems to be gradually worked through and fixed first. I've put the original November 2008 dates back in a few places you changed them. • Anakin (talk) 00:46, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you added "Christian fundamentalist" to the KKK article, but the sentence you added it to was cited to an offline source. Does that source mention Christian extremism? If not, there should be another source cited. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 05:01, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BLP issue

[edit]

Hi Motorizer, I've just removed an unsourced paragraph from Freaks, Faggots, Drunks and Junkies due to a WP:BLP concern. I appreciate this was some time ago, but if you still have access to a reliable source for that info feel free to restore and cite it, however I'm afraid that sort of claim needs very good sourcing. Cheers. ϢereSpielChequers 16:55, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Stormfront (website), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

June 2011

[edit]

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to American Third Position Party, as "minor" only if they truly 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. Jrtayloriv (talk) 05:58, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization edits

[edit]

I have some concerns about your recent edits. You appear to be removing "anti-Communist" categories from American presidents and adding "anti-Communist" categories to Nazi generals. That might be fine, but not with misleading edit summaries like "Category alphabetization". Could you explain why you are doing this? 28bytes (talk) 07:03, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:DocDart.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Acather96 (talk) 10:12, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited The Pogues, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Irish and Celtic (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Removal of cited innformation

[edit]

You recently removed a claim from the punk rock article that cited a source. Normally, editors should not remove sourced material without at least mentioning a reason on the talk page to see if the removal will be uncontroversial. I reverted your edit. Thanks. —Mark Dominus (talk) 15:03, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In fact I now see that someone else reverted your edit even before I did. —Mark Dominus (talk) 15:04, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Strasserism does not have 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! Andy Dingley (talk) 09:50, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Helen Keller, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Radical left (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
