An article you recently created,
List of municipalities in Indiana, is not suitable 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:

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. ...

Before making baseless accusations in an edit summary, you need to examine the edit history more carefully. In the Etymology section I was reverting an editor who had replaced "Ukrainian" with "Russian". The listing of both languages had been changed months ago as far as I can tell with an editor who removed "Ukrainian" and left only "Russian". And there has never been a discussion of including both languages on the Talk Page. It's not an important issue whether "such as" includes just Ukrainian or Russian as well, but I suggest that you save your polemic for fact-based issues on the Talk Page.

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Additionally you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Nardog ( talk) 08:33, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Just a friendly reminder to use an
edit summary which clearly mentions the term "
prod" when proposing a page for uncontroversial deletion, such as on
Formal case. Edit summary usage is always good, but it is especially important that edit summaries are used when proposing deletion. The reason for this is that articles proposed for deletion that later have the {{proposed deletion}}
tag removed should not be proposed for deletion again, but rather sent to
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. The only easy way to check if an article was previously proposed for deletion is to look at the edit history and the edit summaries people have left before. Thanks!

Hi! When notifying editors about an RfC, it's a good practice to leave a note at all relevant wikiprojects, so if an RfC is about the X vs Y conflict, both Wikiproject X and Wikiproject Y should be notified. Alaexis ¿question? 20:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
