[edit] Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Mickey Mouse worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Thank you. - Eugene Krabs (talk) 19:44, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Hey there, TerraHikaru. Just wanted to let you know that the article Renminbi consistently uses the date format day-month-year and not month-day-year as you've changed it to a couple of times. To keep it consistent, you should leave it in the current format. See also our manual of style on dates. Thanks. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 01:33, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- In addition, please note the WP:ENGVAR policy - you should not gratuitously change from British to American spellings, or vice versa, without good reason, as in Banknote. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 23:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] In a recent edit to the page Obama, Fukui, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. DAJF (talk) 22:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Maihama Station. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 00:38, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Please don't change the format of dates without good reason, as you did to Junichiro Koizumi. Most British people and many people internationally write dates in day-month-year order, e.g., 12 December 1904. Most Americans use month-day-year order, e.g., December 12, 1904. If the article is about an American topic, use month-day-year. If it is a British or European topic, use day-month-year. If neither, leave it as originally written. Many Americans or British people take offence if an article about their country, written in their local version of English, is changed around to a version they don't use. So please do not do that.
If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 03:01, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Ōkami. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. --DAJF (talk) 22:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents
[edit]Hello, TerraHikaru. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding your persistent date format and English spelling changes. The thread is Repeated date format changing by User:TerraHikaru. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 03:06, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Please don't change the format of dates without good reason, as you did to Yoshida Brothers. Most British people and many people internationally write dates in day-month-year order, e.g., 12 December 1904. Most Americans use month-day-year order, e.g., December 12, 1904. If the article is about an American topic, use month-day-year. If it is a British or European topic, use day-month-year. If neither, leave it as originally written.

[edit] Please don't change the format of dates without good reason, as you did to Fess Parker. Most British people and many people internationally write dates in day-month-year order, e.g., 12 December 1904. Most Americans use month-day-year order, e.g., December 12, 1904. If the article is about an American topic, use month-day-year. If it is a British or European topic, use day-month-year. If neither, leave it as originally written.

- Please see WP:DATE for policy. Persistent changes of date formats is disruptive and as such is subject to sanctions. Add - I have just noticed you have already been sufficiently warned on this matter.RashersTierney (talk) 23:12, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to North Korean won, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Specifically, this edit: [1] --S. Rich (talk) 15:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia Help Survey
[edit]Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.
Thank you for your time,

Don't "fix" it if it ain't broke
[edit]Hi. Please do not "fix" Wikilinks which lead to redirects if the redirect properly send the reader to the correct article, as you did on Loincloth and a number of other articles. The specific policy is at WP:NOTBROKEN, and more generally at WP:DONTFIXIT. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 08:05, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- Really, don't; and don't edit war to keep in your unnecesary changes either. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:01, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. It appears that you have added a link to an image on an external website to South African rand, likely in an attempt to display that image on the page. For technical and policy reasons, it is not possible to use images from external websites on Wikipedia. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request an upload. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you. Roger (talk) 21:53, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at South African rand, you may be blocked from editing. Roger (talk) 22:14, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

[edit] This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Rowan Atkinson, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Beyond My Ken informed you about WP:NOTBROKEN above. Stop acting obtuse! Favonian (talk) 20:23, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

[edit]One would think that your recent block had persuaded you to read WP:NOTBROKEN, but this recent edit suggests otherwise. If you do it again, your next block will be a good deal longer. Favonian (talk) 17:25, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cuban peso, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Antonio Maceo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Blocked again
[edit]As you should have expected, you have now been blocked for your repeated violations of WP:NOTBROKEN (for instance here) and your refusal to discuss the issue in spite of several warnings and three previous blocks. The block is indefinite, but that doesn't necessarily mean infinite. If you promise to abide by Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, I am willing to unblock you.
