Hello, Oompaloompa1971!

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at List of Jeopardy! contestants, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. CycloneYoris talk! 00:47, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to remove Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did at David Madden (Jeopardy! contestant), you may be blocked from editing. CycloneYoris talk! 00:50, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
Find and replace?
It looks like you've been going through the articles on Timothée Chalamet and Denzel Washington and substituting instances of "he" or "him" etc. with the actor's name (and sometimes the other way around). What is the purpose of these edits? ---Sluzzelin talk 00:51, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Pronoun redundancy. Oompaloompa1971 (talk) 02:41, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Please stop doing it. Endless repetition of the name is pointless, bad writing and makes for a poor reading experience for the reader. Not repeating the name (as long as it is clear who the 'he' or 'she' refers to) is infinitely superior. In other observations, please stop moving the punctuation on quotes (per WP:LQ), and stop moving "however" to the start of a sentence: in nine out of ten times, it's a grammatical faux pas to start a sentence with 'however'. you should also look at WP:NUMBERS, and not mix up number as numerals and words in close proximity. - SchroCat (talk) 13:03, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! — Gor1995 𝄞 18:07, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Please add an edit summary with your edits, to explain why you are making changes. Your edits have been reverted because it was not clear to other editors that they were an improvement. signed, Willondon (talk) 14:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Cam Newton
In your edit to Cam Newton [1], why have you changed a number of 'access-date' parameters to a seemingly arbitrary date further back in time? That parameter is supposed to record the most recent date the source was checked. Because there were so many of them, I reverted the edit again. Your edit summary says "Added content because it is important [...]" Maybe redo just the adding content and its source part. Other unexplained parts of the edit will likely get the whole thing reverted again. signed, Willondon (talk) 17:09, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Possessives and punctuation
Hello. I have noticed that you have been changing possessive nouns that end in an "s" by removing the apostrophe-s. Please note that possessive nouns that end in an "s" do indeed receive the apostrophe-s. The only time the apostrophe-s is inappropriate is when the possessive noun is a plural noun.
As well, per MOS:LQ, the logical quotation style of punctuation should always be used in Wikipedia articles. milladrive (talk) 15:38, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Again, please stop moving periods and commas inside quotation marks. Wikipedia uses the logical style of punctuation. MOS:LQ milladrive (talk) 17:01, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for June 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Brad Stevens, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Notre Dame Fighting Irish basketball. 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) 06:23, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
"At the age of" and punctuation
Hello. I notice you have been changing age lead-ins from "age ##" to "at the age of ##". Those extra words are superfluous and thoroughly unnecessary, and are known as "weasel words".
For instance, "so-and-so did something at age 20" is correct. However, "so-and-so did something at the age of 20" is incorrect.
You also continue to incorrectly move commas and periods, disregarding Wikipedia's rules of punctuation and causing other editors extra work. I ask again that you stop doing it. Thank you. milladrive (talk) 19:08, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Can I see the manual that shows Wikipedia's rules of punctuation? Oompaloompa1971 (talk) 19:19, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
