August 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Library and Archives Canada. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

List of metonyms[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, including additions to List of metonyms. Any additions to the list must be verified by citing a reliable source that discusses the metonym. Unfortunately, the examples you added were either unsourced or were attributed to an unpublished manuscript currently located on the user-generated web site, Scribd. Therefore, I have removed the additions. Please see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources for more information on what constitutes a reliable source. Thank you, and happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 00:34, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

December 2014[edit]

Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Sodom and Gomorrah without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
