[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Arjayay. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Prabhas. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. 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. - Arjayay (talk) 10:26, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed in some of your edits that you have added references to user-generated content sites. Please understand that user-generated content is not a reliable source for a Wikipedia article. You may find it useful to study reliable sources and peruse the list at perennial sources to get an idea of the types of sources acceptable in articles.

John, I just wanted to reinforce this after looking at several of your recent additions. Please be more careful when selecting sources; some of them were just obviously not appropriate. Kuru (talk) 13:37, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
John, again here - this is a very clearly identified mirror. Please slow down and carefully evaluate the sources you are adding. While I realize some mirrors do not identify themselves very well, that is not one of them. Kuru (talk) 12:52, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Robvanvee. An edit that you recently made to The Notorious B.I.G. seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Robvanvee 06:40, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Linking

[edit]

I've reverted a bunch of your edits as you're unnecessarily linking "Everyday words understood by most readers in context (e.g., education, violence, aircraft, river)", per MOS:OL. – 2.O.Boxing 11:59, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

JohnCollin18, please stop adding junk sources to articles. What you're using are not WP:RELIABLE sources. This has been explained several times before. If you continue you may well be blocked. Thank you, JNW (talk) 05:24, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please stop adding links to poor quality sources. Please review WP:RS.

Your editing has continued to exhibit all of the problems mentioned in the messages above. You show no sign whatever of taking notice of those messages, either by amending your editing practices or by providing answers to the messages. Furthermore, while many of the unconstructive things you have been doing could be due to lack of understanding, there are some which are unambiguously done in bad faith, such as this edit, where your link to an article about football cannot possibly have been an innocent mistake. Deliberate vandalism such as that also casts doubt on your good faith in other edits. In view of the above concerns, you have been blocked indefinitely from editing. If you are willing to take notice of what has been said to you, and to start editing more constructively, you may make a request to be unblocked. To do so, first read the guide to appealing blocks, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of this page. JBW (talk) 17:53, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
