October 2018[edit]
Hello, I'm JC7V7DC5768. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! JC7V-constructive zone 06:55, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
A belated welcome[edit]
Hi Soulinthemusic. Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.
Additionally, 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.
If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 04:20, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
May 2020[edit]
Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Lil' Kim, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. Materialscientist (talk) 22:21, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to drop you a note apologizing for reverting an edit you made to this article. I had forgotten that "Charles Evans Hughes H.S." was one of the school's names. OrangeMike caught the mistake and reverted, but I would have done so had I discovered the error before he did. Again, my apologies. Beyond My Ken (talk)
Please respond[edit]
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Ja'Net DuBois, 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. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 04:16, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 17[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Make Way for the Motherlode, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Clinton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:50, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
July 2020[edit]
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Ja Rule, you may be blocked from editing. Robvanvee 07:28, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
