Hello, I'm
Normchou. I noticed that you recently removed content from
Kimco Realty without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate
edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your
sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thanks.

Hello, Ward330! My name is Kristi, and I joined Wikipedia to represent my employer Invitation Homes. You may have seen my edit request to update the infobox, as you made most of my proposed updates in this July 30 edit. If it's not too much to ask, could you also consider removing "Barry Sternlicht, Director" (he is no longer on the board) and update the url to www.invitationhomes.com? Thank you for considering this request. Kristi at IH ( talk) 18:49, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for updating the infobox to Invitation Homes. If you are interested in editing the article further, I also requested updates to the "Overview" section. It looks like the "Overview" section was deleted sometime after my request, but I still believe my draft would be an improvement to the article. Kristi at IH ( talk) 15:53, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
Ward330 ( talk)Sorry that is not encyclopedia content and does not fit the Wikipedia manual of style.
- Thank you Ward330, for the consideration. If you have any other specific feedback on how it could be more encyclopedic, I would appreciate it. Originally, I was trying to update the very promotional Overview section, but now that section is removed, so my request may be moot. Kristi at IH ( talk) 14:16, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Ward330, I have requested an update to the Invitation Homes "History" section, if you are interested in continuing to review requests. More information is on the Invitation Homes Talk page. Thank you for your consideration. Kristi at IH ( talk) 22:07, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to
Wells Fargo, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been
reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your
sandbox for that. Thank you.

Can you explain your thinking behind removing the breakdown of subsidiaries and business interests on Evergrande Group? Feels like you've made some rather drastic edits with little explanation, and they're a quite an important aspect of what makes Evergrande.. Evergrande, just like any other Conglomerate. -- No coffee, please. ( talk) 18:09, 22 September 2021 (UTC) Ward330 ( talk)Everything was all over the place...some info in the lead, some in the history, some in that section. Now everything currently owned is in the lead.
- Please take a look at WP:SUMMARY, this is against MoS and just generally awful to read. Summary should be as brief an overview of the facts as possible, with further details laid out in sections below. There's no longer proper flow. The structure was correct before, even if in dire need of updates. Please also see Inverted pyramid (journalism) -- No coffee, please. ( talk) 18:25, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
Love of Corey. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Death of Gabby Petito, 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
referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.
Love of Corey (

Your recent editing history at Death of Gabby Petito 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 editing—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 work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—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 warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Doug Weller talk 09:07, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
Please be very careful when using that word. This is NOT vandalism, it's called a typo. Respectable editors do not like their edits reverted as vandalism. Please review Wikipedia:Vandalism. Thank you, - FlightTime ( open channel) 01:42, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kalorama (Washington, D.C.), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Metrobus. 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.)

talk 09:09, 30 September 2021 (UTC)- This is purely pro forma as in fact you can't edit the article anyway as long as it's ECP protected, only editors with 500 edits and 30 days can edit it. You can still edit the talk page, but if you name the witnesses again it will be a violation of the sanctions for the topic of living and recently deceased persons and you can face a topic ban from the entire area.

Hello. Thank you for
your contributions to
Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled " Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a
Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting
Preferences →
Editing → 
Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
Thanks!

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!

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 articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. 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.
Doug Weller talk 09:09, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
In the future please use the talk page to discuss edits you would like to do and the reasons behind them. Currently your edits appear disruptive and possibly motivated by conflict of interest. Myotus ( talk) 02:16, 1 November 2021 (UTC) Ward330 ( talk) 02:20, 1 November 2021 (UTC)Copying quotes from a press release is not encyclopedia content. WP:NOTNEWS You adding these quotes back seems to be the one with the conflict.....
- Just noticed your edits to Netflix in October. Concur with User:Myotus that your pattern of edits is disruptive. From a small sample I picked at random, it looks like half of your edits are constructive and half are not.
- It looks like the problem is that you're not taking the time to actually read linked sources before condensing information. As a result, you have a repeated tendency to miss the point, which is greatly irritating to editors who added that information in the first place.
- For example, you entirely missed the point of the "Corporate culture" section that I had added to the Netflix article. The point of that passage is not the ruthless corporate culture (that's common throughout the Fortune 500) but the way they formally enforce that with the "keeper test" (which is not common, and which is why the original passage started off with that information). Please refresh your reading comprehension skills.
- Condensing material is fine, but you must read the underlying material in order to correctly summarize the gist of that material. If you don't, you will create unnecessary work for other editors and get in trouble with the admins. --

- Just noticed a pattern with your edits to Netflix and Remote work. Your prose style at the sentence and paragraph level is quite lucid, and I concur with many of your deletions of clear tangents and redundant citations. But your edits are extremely disruptive with respect to article structure.
- It looks like you are unable to understand that WP tradition is to group together related things under multiple levels of short section titles (under multiple increasingly broad categories at each level). You have a really bad habit of trying to reduce the number of first-level section headings into categories that are so broad as to be useless. But at the second heading level, you tend to increase the number of them to a ridiculous number by regrouping prose-level content under second-level section headings which are extremely long and specific (meaning that the subject matter under each heading is thereby limited to only a couple of paragraphs).
- The result is that you are turning the second-level section headings in the table of contents into unreadably dense and unusable laundry lists. Which is exactly why people who write for a living don't do that. Go read the table of contents in any book from any decent university press to see what I mean. And then read through such books and notice how the section headings are (usually) as short as they are described in the TOC, and there are only a few of them (10 or less) per chapter.
- For example, most textbooks don't have a Chapter 1, and then Sections 1.1 through 1.40 (with each section defined extremely narrowly) in that chapter. No. They have a Chapter 1 with Sections 1.1 to 1.6, or maybe 1.8.
- Please stop. If you don't understand how to structure formal written English properly at the section heading level, you should conform your edits to sentence and paragraph-level revisions. -- Coolcaesar ( talk) 20:52, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
