April 2021

Hello, I'm Laterthanyouthink. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Gwoya Tjungurrayi have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 22:26, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Variants of English

Please don't "correct" spelling and grammar without checking to see which variant of English applies as per WP:ENGVAR.There are two methods. One is check the article at the top to see if a variant of English is mentioned there. The second is common sense. If an article has a strong connection to a particular country, then that variation of English applies. In the case of Dunrobin, Queensland, it is both tagged at the top of the article as requiring Australian English, but, even if that were not present, the first sentence in the article states it is about an Australian place so obviously a strong connection to that country and its variant of English would apply even if not tagged. If you aren't familiar with that variant of English, it may be best not to correct such articles. Kerry (talk) 01:07, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

June 2021

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. 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. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Hi, you are making many edits stating you are removing overlinks. However, you do not seem to be checking carefully, as you are removing sole links to many articles when the keyword is just the name of a country (e.g. China) but the article is some aspect of that country (e.g. industry in China) - it does not follow that that is an overlink; nor does it fall foul of the rule that major country names do not need to be linked. Please take more care. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:50, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please respect the English language variation as previously requested

Do not correct Australian article's spellings with American spelling. 07:55, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in abortion. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

RfCs

In the future, I encourage you to discuss things individually more instead of submitting to an RfC. It can even take months before the other side is willing to compromise. If you want to know why, follow the links at User:Epiphyllumlover/ACE_2021. In retrospect, asking this question seems to have been a good idea because it seems like now I get less trouble.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 19:32, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Use of Wikis as references

In this edit, you used military-history.fandom's wiki as as reference. I reverted the change as the source you added is in no way a reliable source. Wikis are rarely reliable, and in this case the page in question is a copy of our page anyway, so we would be using our page to source facts on our page.Nigel Ish (talk) 17:27, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nigel Ish Thanks for letting me know I will be more careful in the future. Tepkunset (talk) 16:03, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
