Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Behind Enemy Lines (film), without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. BLGM7 (talk) 12:27, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Behind Enemy Lines (film). When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. 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.

July 2011

When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Jesse Ventura, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. I've reverted you as the YouTube videos were all copyright violations. Also, if you replace your edits with non-copyvio sources, can you make sure that you don't add anything not in the source, I wasn't sure if the comparison with Washington was your comment or in the source.

Opie & Anthony Show on YouTube

Where is it clear that this is not copyvio? Dougweller (talk) 06:11, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Jesse Ventura, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Rocky Horror and Jim Norton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura

I suggest you read Wikipedia:Offensive material on the use of profanity in articles. Although Wikipedia doesn't censor articles, the use of profanity should be avoided unless it's pivotal to the article content. Mentioning that Icke told Ventura to "fuck off" (which was bleeped out on the show anyway) is trivial info. Cyberia23 (talk) 09:24, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

June 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Dumb and Dumber 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.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary with every edit. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history.

The edit summary appears in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! SummerPhD (talk) 22:53, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

September 2014

Hello, I'm Amortias. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Megadeth, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for January 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Richard Marcinko, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PC. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

April 2017

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Antifa, 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 the sandbox for that. Thank you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia. I see a mixture of normal edits and vandalism coming from your account. I hope you can stop the vandalism but if you continue to make edits like this and this then you will be doing far more harm than good and you will have to go. Please stop. DanielRigal (talk) 23:26, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent vandalism. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.
