Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Doanri (talk) 14:21, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm UtherSRG. I noticed that you recently removed content from Tibetan Buddhism 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, I'm Schrödinger's jellyfish. I noticed that you recently removed content from History of the People's Republic of China (1949–1976) 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. Please discuss removing massive amounts of content at the article's talk page. Schrödinger's jellyfish ✉ 03:09, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Qianlong Emperor did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. 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, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Remsense诉 03:16, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Eejit43. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Shi Ping (politician), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 03:19, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, you may be blocked from editing. The categories you are deleting are largely supported by citations. They're not violating the neutrality policies as you have claimed. — Czello ^(music) 09:46, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Amigao (talk) 14:30, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't remove {{Infobox Chinese}} from articles. It's not redundant. Also, stop piping to "official names" of articles. We use WP:COMMONNAMES on Wikipedia, and it's generally best just to use the name of the article. What you're doing is a bit of POV pushing in effect. Thanks.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Vrxces was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Unfortunately little has substantively changed since the last time the submission was declined: see the reasons below. Happy to discuss on my talk page.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:The Henry Stickmin Collection and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Coddlebean! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 21:04, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use misleading edit summaries when making changes to Wikipedia pages. This behavior is viewed as disruptive, and continuation may result in loss of editing privileges. The pages you are removing from have citations that support this characterization. And you removed them pretty quickly in sequence, so I'm not sure you took the time to check. Please consider discussing on the talk page beforehand in any case. Remsense诉 04:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, we do not care about "official" names for things on Wikipedia, we care about COMMONNAMES. Consistently changing nomenclature regardless of site norms is disruptive. Please stop. Remsense诉 10:41, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Death and state funeral of Deng Xiaoping. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 10:22, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Lai Ching-te. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Chinese Communist Party, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Amigao (talk) 16:07, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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 Uyghurs, Uyghur genocide, or topics that are related to Uyghurs or Uyghur genocide. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. 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.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Amigao (talk) 17:18, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm QwertyForest. It seems that your account has been engaging in obvious vandalism and there is a suspicion that your account is compromised. If you are not the one that is making these edits, I urge you to change your password to a stronger one. QwertyForest (talk) 06:14, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

nope Coddlebean (talk) 06:16, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How on earth can you justify an edit like this one, then? It is completely unacceptable and you will not be permitted to continue editing if some of them look like this. Remsense诉 06:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

it was just a joke and i definitely thought someone will revert it... Coddlebean (talk) 06:21, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you really think that's a good excuse, I hate to break it to you that it's extremely likely that another edit like that will get you blocked immediately. Vandals hurt the project and we don't need them around, full stop. Remsense诉 06:23, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Aubin Bradley, 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. see WP:DOB Waxworker (talk) 13:12, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Plants vs. Zombies 3, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Android. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:50, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Coddlebean. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Chen Xiaodong (diplomat), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 03:11, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Great Firewall. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Amigao (talk) 16:01, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Coddlebean. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Chen Xiaodong".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:23, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
