April 2019[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in River Phoenix, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Disambiguation link notification for April 22[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Preview – Consolidate – Summarize[edit]

Hello- Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:

  • Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
    • The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
  • Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions.Eric talk 20:42, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Elementals moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, The Elementals, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

Edit summaries[edit]

Hello, SebastianDrawsStuff. When you edit pages, as you did many times for Belle Gibson, please leave an edit description describing what you changed and why. Looking over your changes, many of them are not plain to see how they are improvements, so your comment about why you made each change would be very helpful. The cumulative effect of your edits (shown here) seems to be to replace specific information with generalizations. I can't imagine that was your intention, but without the benefit of edit comments I don't have anything more to work with... --Gronk Oz (talk) 23:49, 5 June 2019 (UTC) Just calling your attention to this from some months back, as it still seems to be an issue.

Hi and thanks for your edits to Sinking of MV Sewol. You may have noticed that I un-linked a number of links you inserted. In general, only terms that help with understanding the article should be linked -- for example related articles and obscure terms. Words that most people will know (such as "lighthouse" or "prosecutor") should not be linked.

An extended welcome[edit]

Hi SebastianDrawsStuff. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 00:29, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

March 2020[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions. About 1 year ago, there was a request from User:FlightTime for you to be mindful of the Manual of Style, in particular WP:OVERLINKING when editing pages. Just to help make it clear what that means, here are the relevant guidelines:

A good question to ask yourself is whether reading the article you're about to link to would help someone understand the article you are linking from. Unless a term is particularly relevant to the context in the article, the following are usually not linked:

  • Everyday words understood by most readers in context (e.g., education, violence, aircraft, river)
  • Common occupations (e.g., accountant, politician, actor)
  • The names of subjects with which most readers will be at least somewhat familiar. This generally includes major examples of:
    • countries (e.g., Japan/Japanese, Brazil/Brazilian)
    • geographic features (e.g., the Himalayas, Pacific Ocean, South America)
    • locations (e.g., Berlin; New York City, or just New York if the city context is already clear; London, if the context rules out London, Ontario; Southeast Asia)
    • languages (e.g., English, Arabic, Korean, Spanish)
    • nationalities and ethnicities (e.g., English, British, Chinese, Turkish, African-American, Hispanic)
    • religions (e.g., Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism)
However, try to be conscious of your own demographic biases – what is well known in your age group, line of work, or country may be less known in others.
  • Common units of measurement, e.g. units relating to time, temperature, length, area, or volume. If both non-metric and metric equivalents are provided, as in 5 centimetres (2.0 in), usually neither unit needs to be linked, because almost all readers will understand at least one of the units.
  • Dates (see § Chronological items, below)
  • Disambiguation pages, such as the Elsa page, should not be linked from articles unless the link is purposeful in a hatnote. Link instead to an appropriate choice on the disambiguation page. If necessary, the new link can be piped, such as in [[Elsa (Frozen)|Elsa]], which appears as Elsa and links to the article about the fictional character. Readers should not be directed to disambiguation pages unless there is no other option but to do so.

I also note that more than 2/3 of the messages on your talkpage here relate to Disambiguation link notifications, or "orange links" (example Caucasian, Fine or Realism). As per the above advice, orange links on regular pages are usually deprecated (and simply linking words in an article without checking afterwards if they become orange on the page simply creates extra work for you and other editors who have to then re-edit them). So first please avoid adding unnecessary links, and second, be sure to double-check the page after editing for any potential problems. Thanks. JabberJaw (talk) 23:38, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, as per MOS:SURNAME, please do not edit pages changing people’s names from surnames (eg Taylor) to first names (eg William) as happened in your recent edit to William Desmond Taylor. Again, please be careful about what you edit and change, as such tweaks are not necessarily improvements to articles and may create extra work for others to undo later on. So, to that end, can I ask you to go back and “fix” your edit to William Desmond Taylor (and other pages you have edited) in the light of this advice? Thanks again. JabberJaw (talk) 21:56, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your fixes to the surname use in the Taylor article. One other piece of advice is regarding MOS:NUMERAL. Please be sure to read that too. Basically, you should't change the format of numbers just because you prefer one style over another. If, for example, an article uses the word "thirty-eight", there is no reason to change it to "38" (and vice versa) since both are regarded as correct and acceptable. The only reason to change would be if the use is inconsistent within an article. Thanks. JabberJaw (talk) 05:27, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

April 2020[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

Hello again. Recently it was requested (by myself and others) that you be mindful of (and be compliant with) the following policies:

However, based on your edit history, problematic edits continue to be made. For example, to Murder of Graeme Thorne and Jennifer Pan. Given the scope/complexity of the changes to these pages, despite the advice provided to you, I have reverted the edits in full. Naturally, please feel free to re-add any appropriate and justified (as explained in clear edit summaries) to these and other pages (i.e. more detailed than just "I tweaked the text and included some links"). If problematic edits continue, they will continue to be reverted and this matter will be pushed through to Administrators. Regards, JabberJaw (talk) 02:29, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps let me offer some advice on how to go forward... it seems clear that you have some time and energy that you are willing to spend on Wikipedia. One (simple) thing you can do is to look for inconsistencies in pages that you visit and want to edit. If links, numbers or surnames are inconsistent (or unnecessary) then please go ahead and fix them (or in the case of links, work to remove them)... I note, for example, in some of your "beneficial" edits that you are editing to use surnames which is welcomed - however, when multiple people on a page share the same surname, then the primary person will always use the surname (eg. Thorne for Graeme Thorne) and other members should use their full name - and NOT first name only). You also seem to have an eye for grammar, which Wikipedia needs, so continue fixing those too. I think the sooner you can balance your editing energies for the positive, the less time people will need to spend undoing or restoring edits. Thanks. JabberJaw (talk) 04:56, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edits[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Murder of Graeme Thorne, you may be blocked from editing. Eric talk 03:45, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Eric moving reply from my talkpage to here):
I wasn't disruptively editing the Graeme Thorne page. I was editing it based on the instructions User:Jabberjaw gave me (and who invited me to edit the article again to those specifications). Please revert your edit. Regards, User:SebastianDrawsStuff
@SebastianDrawsStuff: When you continue to link common vocabulary words after being asked by multiple other users to stop, that can be called disruptive. Why don't you restore the beneficial edits you made to that article, but refrain from linking terms such as hoax, heart attack, confession, ransom, kidnap, etc. Eric talk 14:01, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Eric: While those terms are common, the reason I link to those terms is formal. Wikipedia is meant to be a source of knowledge, and I happen to think that advancing that knowledge is by linking to terms that are related to a particular article, even if that term is common. Thus I think it's appropriate that for an article about a ransom, I link to another article that explains what a ransom is. What I have in mind are those textbooks we used to have in school that put certain words in bold for you to remember later. I'm not linking to be disruptive, I'm trying to enhance the informative quality of the article. Do you see where I'm coming from? Regards, User:SebastianDrawsStuff

Manual of style[edit]

Hi Sebastian. I reverted some of your edits so I thought I'd explain why.

  • As per MOS:NUMERAL, numbers from zero to nine should be spelled out in words.
  • As per MOS:NUMNOTES, please avoid starting sentences with numbers.
  • As per WP:OVERLINK, do not wikilink common terms, such as the names of countries that are well known in the English speaking world.

There were additional issues but I don't have the time to explain them all and I thought that would be enough advice for one day. While your willingness to edit Wikipedia is appreciated, please avoid making edits like that in the future as they are not helpful. Have a nice day.

Edit Summaries[edit]

Information icon 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 HMS Hermione (1782) 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. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → check Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. You made a few good edits on this article, but your editing pattern and failure to summarize makes it a chore for others to work with you here. Eric talk 16:49, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please read the edit summaries other leave when they revert you. For instance, I deleted your addition of links to United States on the Mike Warnke article here and I linked to the WP:OVERLINK guideline. There was also MOS:CAPS and {{Reflist}} has not needed to be forced to be multi-column for over a year; it automatically goes into responsive width if there are more than ten references. You came back just now and added the links back and I have reverted them again. If you had explained why the links were necessary, it would have made it easier to understand, but without an edit summary, it's just a clear violation of OVERLINK, and it's not needed. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:15, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
While checking your edit history, this edit is a clear example of what not to OVERLINK. Pretty much every change you made was wrong for some reason. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:45, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • SebastianDrawsStuff, is there a reason why you think you can ignore all of the input from other editors, and Wikipedia's Manual of Style, to continue linking common terms according to your preference as opposed to long-standing consensus?-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 01:53, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Advice(?)[edit]

Hi SebastianDrawsStuff

If I may, let me draw an analogy that may be helpful re. the issue here:

Imagine going to your local library (or bookstore). You want to be helpful so you start rearranging the books in a way you think is logical. For example, by size, colour, or publisher. Then some workers come and ask you to stop doing that. But their system of sorting is not the way you prefer it, so you keep changing it. Then more workers ask you to stop and finally repeated incidents like this get you banned, even though you feel you are only being helpful.

So my point here is that Wikipedia, like other institutions, has established rules for organising and editing its articles that all users should follow, even if they don’t necessarily agree with them. Can I therefore ask you (again) to please be mindful of the advice here too. Thanks. JabberJaw (talk) 05:18, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
