March 2021[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm SSSB. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Max Verstappen, 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Per WP:BURDEN, it is your responsibility to provide sources for verification. It is not the responsibility of other editors to look it up to verify it for you.

Your recent editing history at Cannoli shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editingā€”especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's workā€”whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each timeā€”counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warringā€”even if you do not violate the three-revert ruleā€”should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. CUPIDICAEšŸ’• 15:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Further, Cannoli is used in the introduction and the plural is used further down in the article. It does not belong in the lead. Stop readding it. CUPIDICAEšŸ’• 15:47, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's clear you're either deliberately ignoring the talk page or possibly trolling based on other edits but read WP:Use English and you know, maybe the talk page where consensus has been established. CUPIDICAEšŸ’• 15:56, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Information icon Hello, SteveBrownIreland. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Bruno Simon, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 09:13, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

April 2021[edit]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Walmart. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

I made a coding mistake when adding information. I'm just fixing it. Please stop. --SteveBrownIreland (talk) 09:27, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't look that way to me. You're changing the content, and you're incorrectly formatting a note as a reference. Which is not an offence in itself, mistakes happen ā€” but you've done it four times in the past 24 hrs. And then you pretend that you're fixing mistakes, when you're the one introducing them. My reading of this is, your editing is disruptive, and you're violating the three-revert-rule, therefore I would advice you to stop now. Thank you. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:38, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Violent Thing move[edit]

Hi ā€” can you please explain why you've moved Violent Thing to Worst Song Ever? Is this your idea of a joke? Thanks, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:17, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ANI discussion[edit]

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:35, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate move[edit]

Information icon Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Violent Thing. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:46, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Kovic (musician)[edit]

Hello SteveBrownIreland,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kovic (musician) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Kovic (musician) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://kovicmusic.com and https://mcd.ie/artists/kovic/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image ā€” which means allowing other people to use it for any reason ā€” then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Incomplete DYK nomination[edit]

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Sandra Kim at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure.

April 2021[edit]

Information icon Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use your sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. ā€•JochemvanHees (talk) 13:17, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to move pages to bad titles contrary to naming conventions or consensus, as you did at Living Color, you may be blocked from editing. Did you gain consensus before moving this article? Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 13:51, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Consider this your last and only warning do not move articles without consensus. This is bordering on vandalism. It's clear you've either got an axe to grind or lack the required understanding to edit Wikipedia, given every single source there refers to the band with a u. EGGIDICAEšŸ„š

A tag has been placed on Template:Did you know nominations/Sandra Kim requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

@Ungle G: WP:G3 or G6 could apply. I could speedily decline the nomination, because it clearly is not eligible; but there's no reason to keep a record of it anyway
