Hello, NathanBru, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Kristi Noem, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically, see MoS on words to watch § Euphemisms. Euphemisms should be avoided in favour of direct language. Tol ( talk | contribs) @ 22:38, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Just to clarify, as this was the second time you did this (after being previously reverted): please use "anti-abortion" and "pro-abortion" or similar direct terms instead of "pro-life" and "pro-choice", respectively. Tol ( talk | contribs) @ 22:55, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at United States Senate, you may be blocked from editing. EvergreenFir (talk) 16:25, 18 July 2023 (UTC) reply

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Kelly Ayotte. EvergreenFir (talk) 17:30, 19 July 2023 (UTC) reply

@ NathanBru Here is a tutorial of sorts for referencing: Help:Referencing for beginners

Sometimes you can copy-paste individual citations from one article to another. Alternatively, you can use the articles' talk pages to request that someone add the sentence and citation.

I will also send you an invite to the WP:TEAHOUSE where new users can ask questions on how to do things or receive guidance. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:15, 19 July 2023 (UTC) reply

You have recently edited a page related to abortion, 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:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

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.

This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics.

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page 2024 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A " bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. ( Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) ( talk) 21:03, 22 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Please stop. Continuing to insert MOS:DOUBT wording and ignoring the rules for WP:CTOP at Efforts to impeach Joe Biden as you did here and here can be considered edit warring, and may be subject to blocks or bans by WP:AE. Before attempting to reinsert your edit a third time, please go to the article talk page there to ask questions or discuss your desired changes or visit the WP:TEAHOUSE. Cheers.

Hello, I'm Rehsarb.

Please don't create articles without any prose or sources, especially on living people. If you want to work on articles incrementally like that, please do it in draftspace and only publish once there's some content. Elli ( talk | contribs) 18:07, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2024 California's 20th congressional district special election, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Duarte. 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.)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Tamara McKay requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. MrBauer24 ( talk) 18:32, 3 February 2024 (UTC) reply

The article Tamara McKay has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hello, and thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Tamara McKay! However, you should know that adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to linkrot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources. A bare URL is a URL cited as a reference for some information in an article without any accompanying information about the linked page. In other words, it is just URL copied and pasted into the Wiki text, inserted between <ref>...</ref> tags, without title, author, date, or any of the usual information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{ cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum^[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already entered one or more bare urls to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations; try the reFill tool, which can resolve some bare references semi-automatically. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles, and to avoid future link rot, please consider supplementing your bare URLs—creating full, inline citations with title, author, date, publisher, etc. More information can be found at Wikipedia:Inline citations. Thank you. :Jay8g [ V• T• E 21:25, 9 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Your edit was reverted because the citation at [1] does not mention anywhere in the article that he was a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2006. Steelbeard1 ( talk) 22:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC) reply
