When will I hear back about my changes?
[edit]I shortened this alot, yet the notice about it being long is still there? When someone edits an article, do they get any feedback? Is there anyone ever reviewing this stuff? 1218jmm (talk) 22:35, 6 May 2012 (UTC) 6 May 2012
Thank you for telling me that, I removed the template. Thank you for your feedback and thank you for your contributions! For more help on getting started, please look at Help desk and the help pages.
Cheers,

When writing an article about a person, all the information about her/him should be on the article. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article

Why am I receiving this? What feedback are you talking about? I didn't write any article about anyone! Also, I am not a child. I don't like being lectured to by strangers. You come off as elitist. 1218jmm (talk) 16:45, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Protected articles are articles that have a high vandalism rate. A move-protected article is generally move-protected to stop people from messing around by moving the page to an entirely different name. Admins, however, are still allowed to move pages. So if the majority of people in a discussion agree that it should be moved, an administrator will move it.

[edit]Hello 1218jmm, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Teresa Heinz has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 23:13, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Gavin Newsom may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
- List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
- '''Gavin Christopher Newsom''' (born October 10, 1967) is an American [[politician]. He is a member of the Democrat Party. He is the [[List of lieutenant governors of

Buck Sexton
[edit]I'm just wondering why there is a page entitled "The Buck Sexton Show", but not one on Buck Sexton himself? He has a whole history other than just his show. I must say, I've never heard of a national media host with that many listeners who is not on Wikipedia. Can someone explain this? 1218jmm (talk) 09:05, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
