January 2018[edit]

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to MonsterVerse while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. As 2600:6C44:C7F:F204:712C:B975:7D3D:9DC1 JesseRafe (talk) 16:02, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to MonsterVerse does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. #1, please use descriptive edit summaries for every edit you are making. #2, please use the preview function or your own sandbox for experiments and not a bunch of edits in a row for an unfilled chart JesseRafe (talk) 16:37, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

February 2018[edit]

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to the Terminator Salvation plot summary have been removed because they added a significant amount of unnecessary detail. Please avoid excessive detail and high word counts when editing plot summaries/synopses. You may read the plot summary edit guides to learn more about contributing constructively to plot summaries/synopses. There are also specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! DonIago (talk) 05:13, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Character table for MonsterVerse[edit]

It seems you have your heart set out on putting a character chart on the MonsterVerse article. I understand what you're trying to do but it seems a bit necessary, given since the series is about the monsters and not the humans, but if you feel like you have a case for this, it would be best to bring it up on the MonsterVerse talk page so it can be discussed with other editors to see if it's notable and necessary to add or keep in the article. Armegon (talk) 06:38, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Character table for MonsterVerse 2[edit]

I see you restored your character chart again. I've taken the liberty of removing it once again because you did not bring its notability to the talk page like I've asked you to many times before. For your sake, I urge you to please head to the MonsterVerse talk page & discuss it with the other editors as to why the chart is necessary. I and another editor have already undone your chart quite a number of times, I already left a message on your own talk page asking you to take the issue to the talk page. This is now my 2nd message for you to take the issue to the talk page. With that said... If you restore the chart again without consensus, it would be considered vandalism by this point and I would have to bring this issue up on the dispute resolution noticeboard.

March 2021[edit]

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to the Jurassic Park (film) plot summary have been removed because they added a significant amount of unnecessary detail. Please avoid excessive detail and high word counts when editing plot summaries/synopses. You may read the plot summary edit guides to learn more about contributing constructively to plot summaries/synopses. There are also specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books.

Speedy deletion nomination of Watsonian date[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Watsonian date requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. – NJD-DE (talk) 19:09, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Watsonian date moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Watsonian date, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:09, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Gavinmccalmont,

Rather than delete this page, I moved it to Draft space. If you move it back without supplying some reliable sources validating the concept, it will be deleted. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:11, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Watsonian date (December 29)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Clarityfiend were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The only "Watsonian date" cited in the real world refers to John Watson, not films.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Watsonian date and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Watsonian date, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

May 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Last Stand (2013 film), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Uncredited roles must be sourced. DonIago (talk) 04:30, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
