Stefan Molyneux[edit]

Hello welcome to Wikipedia. I've undone your recent edits to the Stefan Molyneux article, because they inserted text which is not adequately sourced to a WP:RS reference and contained some interpretation rather than factual statements from cited sources. You may share any concerns on the article talk page, and try to achieve consensus for your version, but please do not reinsert it prior to such consensus. There are many policies and guidelines pages which another user has posted above. You may find these useful as you gain experience editing. Thanks. SPECIFICO talk 22:48, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

March 2017[edit]

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Emu War. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Nick-D (talk) 09:34, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

April 2017[edit]

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Ben Garrison. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Your deletion of sourced material at Solutrean hypothesis[edit]

When discussing something about subjects such as archaeology or genetics, the views of experts in the field are relevant and you shouldn't be deleting them. Our articles are built upon what are considered to be reliable sources by our criteria, and your dislike of the comment of a reliable source is not a good reason to delete it. Doug Weller talk 18:16, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page[edit]

Would you consider toning down your user page? Passages like "Large n----- horde" and the overall tone of the page comes across as quite racist and divisive. TheValeyard (talk) 14:41, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

July 2018[edit]

Hi. As per previous/similar notes from other editors, please do not add uncited personal opinions or unsupported commentary to Wikipedia articles. These type of additions, in particular where WP:BLPSOURCE is a concern, are contrary to project policy. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 19:07, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I have moved your new article here because it does not yet meet the criteria for inclusion, viz.

  1. It makes no claim of notability for the subject
  2. References are inadequate
  3. It has not been added to any categories

Please work on it in draft space before submitting for review. Deb (talk) 12:22, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Chill out dude.[edit]

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I saw your edit summary concerning the "color photo" of Bobby Fischer, as well as your "refutation" of my previous incorrect (albeit purely bona fide) edit. Please don't be rude to other Wikipedia users, especially if they are simply making good faith edits. Have a nice day! 68.5.231.50 (talk) 05:32, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 17[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormond, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Maurice FitzThomas FitzGerald (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.)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

A couple of discretionary sanctions notices for you[edit]

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 post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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.  Bishonen | talk 02:32, 3 March 2019 (UTC).[reply]

I asked you to consider rewording this sentence rather than remove it and its sources, and instead you reverted me, once again removing the source and text. That was something you could have discussed on the talk page. Edaham (talk) 17:55, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 2019[edit]

Information icon Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Chris Cuomo. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 00:26, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

October 2019[edit]

November 2019[edit]

Hello.

  • RE: WP:IMOS#In-article_use and it's application to Barrett, Adams, etc. There are multiple sources (outside of the Wikipedia article) which confirm that Gearóid Mac Ádhaimh is an Irish name which is in common use for this subject. Including several thousand web search results. And several reliable printed sources. Including, for example, the Dictionary of World Biography and Encyclopaedia Britannica. There are no such sources for Searbhreathach Baróid. A web search returns just the Wikipedia article. And a few primary sources. Which do not meet WP:RS or otherwise establish common-use. Beyond the subject or party's own publications. Otherwise you might want to please read WP:OSE (which is pretty clear that "if you fix that you have to fix everything" is not a valid argument for retaining or including content which is problematic under guidelines).
  • RE: "a highly subjective smear". Where, exactly, is there any subjectivity? How is a simple statement of fact "subjective"? It is unequivocally OBJECTIVE that the party has no political office holders. (You might want to double check your dictionary for the definition of "subjective". While there, have a look at the word "smear". Which typically means to "damage reputation by false accusation". There is nothing false stated. And if it is damaging to the reputation of the group, for the reader to be informed that no member holds any office, then that is not down to any contributor to this project). As noted before, is a perfectly reasonable element of the body to be summarised in the lead. And of more than a little relevance to a reader's understanding of the subject. (As, frankly, a reader might otherwise reasonably expect a political party to have fielded political candidates or to have a member in political office).
  • RE: Warring. If you continue to engage in content and edit warring, then I will be moving for an escalation.

I am otherwise happy to continue to discuss content on the relevant article talkpages. I am not really happy to continue to see this level of warring. (On articles which, I note with some interest above, you have already and specifically been advised against warring upon). Cheers. Guliolopez (talk) 15:41, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Arturo Toscanini, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Zingarese talk · contribs 13:24, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder, why did you label him as a communist? Do not simply adding the category if you do not have evidence to support it - Jay (talk) 15:20, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Blight55, the youtube link that you posted in my talkpage doesn't convince me at all. If only you know what that performance is all about, you wouldn't have called him a communist. Read this: Arturo_Toscanini#Film - In December 1943, Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony in a performance of Verdi's overture, La forza del destino and Verdi's cantata Inno delle nazioni (Hymn of the Nations), which contains national anthems of England, France, and Italy (the World War I allied nations), to which Toscanini added the Soviet "Internationale" and "The Star-Spangled Banner". Tenor Jan Peerce and the Westminster Choir performed in the latter work and the film was narrated by Burgess Meredith. By conducting "Internationale", doesn't make him a communist. Soviet was one of the allied nations in WW1. - Jay (talk) 15:53, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

March 2020[edit]

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Tyson Fury, did not appear constructive and has 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 the 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. – 2.O.Boxing 20:17, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Martin Van Buren. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Comments in this edit summary were inappropriate and unneeded. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 00:01, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm snkn179, I noticed you removed the colourised picture of Van Buren that I had restored beforehand. If you want to discuss your disagreement, the talk page is always the best place to go. I have put forward my case there and as a result I will keep up the colourised image until I am satisfied that it is in fact not appropriate for usage there (unlikely as it follows all Wikipedia policies). Personal attacks do not count as arguments supporting your case and may result in blocks or even bans to your account. Snkn179 (talk) 14:30, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
