Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Thank you. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 15:08, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Space Shuttle Columbia disaster

[edit]

Please begin a discussion on the Talk:Space Shuttle Columbia disaster before making any large changes. While this article is certainly not perfect, it has already passed a community review. You should solicit community input before removing large chunks of content and changing formatting. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 15:46, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

February 2023

[edit]

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Wisconsin Territorial Centennial half dollar did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 04:06, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

[edit]

I can't help but notice some of the... bizarre choices you make when editing. Such as the manner in which you pipe links, as already pointed out by Parsecboy. But on an especially important note, the manner in which you "communicate" with others on talk pages is not only bizarre, but if continued, I'm sure you will learn that it is unacceptable. (eg: posting short blurbs, mostly with piped links, and expecting people to decipher these posts, such as the post just above, etc.) On WP, Communication is required. Surely you are capable of a normal two-way dialogue? If not, then there may be a WP:CIR issue here. If you need assistance, contact the help desk. If English is not your primary language, then consider editing a Wiki in your language. Good luck - wolf 20:36, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again

[edit]

In case you missed it before the charming host of that page removed it, I'll re-post here: "Just a quick note; when copying within WP, (eg: copying text from WP:REVEXP) you should provide attribution." You may find the linked guidance useful in future edits. Have a nice day - wolf 23:38, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did. (Miss it.) Thanks. --Olivetheother (talk) 01:36, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Charming

[edit]

Indeed. Olivetheother (talk) 15:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you continue to WP:HOUND me, we will head to WP:ANI. Consider your next edits carefully. Parsecboy (talk) 16:02, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you stop messing around with this article? Your cosmetic changes removing spaces etc are pointless and merely serve to clutter up the history, and your continued tweaking of the section header is not an improvement. Frankly, based on how frequently your edits are being reverted, you may want to reassess your editing style, as your idiosyncratic changes are clearly viewed as unhelpful more often than not. ♠PMC(talk) 23:05, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alt texts

[edit]

Stop messing around with the alt texts of articles unless you know for sure what you're doing. Looking at your talk page, it appears you are already on thin ice, so I would take all advice quite seriously. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 21:23, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

[edit]

Even after I've told you about not fiddling around with things unless you know for sure what you're doing, and others have warned you about needless fiddling with section headers, etc., you have continued to do such things, so I have had no choice but to revoke your editing privileges for the time being. Once you've thought about your editing behavior and how it was unconstructive to the encyclopedia, as well as how you'll improve in the future, you may ask to be allowed to edit Wikipedia again on your talk page.
