Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at
Cross Ange. Your edits appear to be
disruptive and have been
reverted or removed.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -- Orduin ⋠ T⋡ 22:41, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of minor DC Comics characters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Starfire. 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.

Thank you for trying to help at How I Met Your Mother (season 1), but I'm afraid I've reverted your changes. The article is currently a featured list which means it's undergone a rigorous process to make sure it's just about as good as it possibly can be. This doesn't mean you can't still edit the article, but it means you should be very, very careful when editing. Your edit added a more detailed description of one of the show's episodes (" Milk"), but season articles are not for detailed descriptions. The individual article for the episode is where more complete descriptions of the episode should be found (and even then, try to stick to 200-400 words); season articles just give a quick overview, so people don't want all the details there. Thanks for reading this — if you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. — Bilorv (talk) (c) (e) 08:39, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Tophet, I've reverted your removal of red links from List of legendary creatures from Japan, as they are usually there for a purpose - please see Wikipedia:Red link. It would also be helpful to other editors if you provide an edit summary to explain why you are making a particular change. Cheers, Bahudhara ( talk) 14:15, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
Hello Tophet, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to
List of Lab Rats episodes has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without
permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Geraldo Perez ( talk) 14:34, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Hi Tophet. You keep having contributions reverted because you don't back them up by citing
reliable, scholarly sources. I see what you mean by your descriptor of
Atlas (mythology) as the "Titan of Endurance"; but that's a poetic, mythic term. It doesn't justify your giving any formal or divine status to Atlas as a personification or patron deity of endurance - the same applies to the material you wrote on constellations - unless you can give a citation. By the way, please note the request that you give an edit summary for every edit you make. That can save a lot of time and trouble all round.

Well...ahem - I see you've given a sound source for at least one of your additions; so I've now restored it. Reversion in that instance was an error on my part. Sorry! Haploidavey ( talk) 14:27, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
But another editor, having access to the source you provided, has now reverted my self-reversion. It seems that your citation does not support your edit, after all. Haploidavey ( talk) 00:05, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
Please fix up your edit by Removing The Unnecessary Capitalization. link (I don't know if your edit is accurate or not so I'm still thinking it's dubious but I haven't the time to check right now.) Next time please don't revert someone's revert with no edit summary. It can make people cranky. — Jeraphine Gryphon ( talk) 20:25, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Tophet: I understand, though in fairness, those in capital letters are the names of the demonic orders that I wanted to emphasize.
Hello and
welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate
your contributions, including your edits to
Tophet, but we cannot accept
original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses
combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a
reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Hello, I'm
Modernponderer. I noticed that you made a change to an article,
Detentionaire, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the
referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kaustubha, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ratna ( 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.)

Thanks for uploading File:Opal Tanaka.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:45, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
The article Ishim (angel) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This page cites three sources: One apparently completely unrelated book about Islam and two popular dictionaries with no academic credibility. Page contains many unsourced claims and if restricted to RS would be an eight-word dictionary entry.
