You did not create this ex nihilo: please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia on how to do these kinds of things. You can't just copy and paste, because now the history suggests you wrote all this. Drmies (talk) 21:12, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020[edit]

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)

I noticed your recent edit to List of Crash Bandicoot characters does not have an edit summary. 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. And please don't reinsert unverified and unencyclopedic material. We're not Wikia. Drmies (talk) 21:14, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

please start using edit summaries[edit]

Hi, Billy Goblin! We're glad you're interested in editing Wikipedia, but please stop making unexplained changes, as you did at Ariana Grande. When you make an edit, leave an edit summary to explain to other editors why you made that edit.

Here's why edit summaries are so important: when someone makes an edit and doesn't leave an edit summary, multiple editors who have that article on their watchlist will probably feel they have to look at the diff. This means multiple editors are wasting time checking a good edit when they didn't have to. Our volunteers' time is our most precious resource. And sometimes an edit is confusing -- when that happens, you might find yourself reverted by someone who didn't understand what you did and thought you were doing something destructive. Again, it wastes not only your time but the other editor's, and your edit might have been an improvement.

There's a handy gadget that can remind you to leave a summary when you forget. I keep it turned on all the time, even though I have a firm habit. It's at Preferences>Editing>Editor.

Thanks, —valereee (talk) 10:55, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020[edit]

You currently appear to be 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. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. power~enwiki (π, ν) 23:58, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020[edit]

Please stop attacking other editors. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. D🐶ggy54321 ^{(let's chat!)} 16:38, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring, as you did at Ariana Grande. 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 ~~~~}}. —valereee (talk) 17:08, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Billy Goblin, please stop edit warring. That is not the way to fix what is wrong with an article, ever. —valereee (talk) 17:11, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

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 ~~~~}}. Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:13, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
