Thanks for uploading File:WWE SmackDown Logo 2019.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:13, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

COVID-19 pandemic in the post-Soviet states

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into COVID-19 pandemic in the post-Soviet states. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. --John B123 (talk) 18:30, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of COVID-19 pandemic in the post-Soviet states

Notice

The article COVID-19 pandemic in the post-Soviet states has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The Soviet Union ceased to exist nearly three decades before the COVID-19 pandemic, and it doesn't make sense to have an article which consists of a list of ex-Soviet countries and summarises the pandemic in these countries.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of COVID-19 pandemic in the Commonwealth of Independent States for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article COVID-19 pandemic in the Commonwealth of Independent States is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/COVID-19 pandemic in the Commonwealth of Independent States until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Starzoner (talk) 21:03, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Arbcom

When you filed your case at Arbcom, you failed to notify the users who you listed as parties to the case. You also failed to link to the previous attempts at Dispute resolution. I've completed these steps. For future reference, these are things that should be done when filing a case. — Ched (talk) 09:17, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

China-Taiwan articles case request declined

The arbitrators have voted to decline the case request you filed, China-Taiwan articles, for reasons including it being a content dispute and because previous conduct dispute resolution had not been attempted. Arbitration is the last step in the dispute resolution process. Arbitration cases are lengthy (usually 1 month in length) and as such less time consuming dispute resolution such as at the talk page, at the dispute resolution noticeboard, or at the administrator's incidents noticeboard is worthwhile to try first. You can view the declined case request in this permalink. For the Arbitration Committee, Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 08:23, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Silence of Lambs, Please don't unnecessary and obscure request the the arbitration commitee about any topic you can want to request. If you do this again, i want to report you to WP:ANI or WP:AIV for the distruptive edits. 180.254.167.18 (talk) 22:37, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CS1 error on North Korea

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page North Korea, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

  • A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 11:16, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited North Korea, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dongye. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:08, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox changes

You've made changes like the one to Beijing several times, which have now been reverted several times. At some point, this behavior is considered disruptive. On high-attention pages, there is very often a reason things are listed the specific way they are. Please ask on the relevant talk page if you have questions before making edits that seem increasingly tendentious. Cheers! Remsense诉 00:29, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

South Korea

Hello, I noticed you changed South Korea to Republic of Korea in some info boxed. Please don't. And please read Wikipedia:COMMONNAME. Thanks! Masterhatch (talk) 21:03, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you did it to North Korea too. And there are no sources for your edits of other or previous names for places. Can you please add sources? Masterhatch (talk) 22:22, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They are. It's in here or here. Look up the old CIA documents or Google Books via a search term. As for the name, we know people outside of the ROK or DPRK use South Korea or North Korea as they don't recognize each other's legitimacy.I humbly apologize if my edits aren't right. Silence of Lambs (talk) 00:36, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Please add edit summaries to your edits. I noticed you rarely use them. Thank you! Masterhatch (talk) 16:30, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you're still not using edit summaries. Please use them. They really help other users. Masterhatch (talk) 01:28, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more communicative

Editors routinely have to undo your edits because they go against site guidelines. Please make sure to read our style guidelines on China- and Chinese-related subjects, because many of these edits are specifically addressed there. You also haven't responded to anyone previously trying to communicate about your edits, which is troubling. Please begin doing so, or your editing could be considered disruptive. Remsense诉 02:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You've been warned on many occasions, and no one makes this edit without being deliberately disruptive and trying to have fun. It's starting to appear you're not interested in building a collaborative encyclopaedia, but are instead just here to entertain yourself or WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. When you return from your block I advise you to read Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (something you should already have done and have been pointed out to you) and engage in the community in a collaborative manner. If you continue with your unsourced and disruptive edits, you will be blocked again. Canterbury Tail talk 11:31, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Continued disruption

Okay, now it seems you're just being deliberately disruptive. Changing links to Taiwan to be to Taiwan Province, altering things to include them more in mainland China, this is disruptive and it's quite clear you understand this. If you do not desist from such continued disruptive editing you will be blocked. Canterbury Tail talk 12:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually @Canterbury Tail there is a misunderstanding. You do really realize that Taiwan Province is actually one of the ROC's two nominally active provinces right? This and Fuchien along with Taipei and five cities form 8 subdivisions. You may have to go deeper than that. Silence of Lambs (talk) 17:21, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
