Flags on roster templates

Please stop adding flags to Template:Chicago Bears roster. This is not the standard practice for the templates, and it violated WP:FLAG which I suggest you take a look at. Thanks.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 20:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Images

Please be careful when adding images to articles. Make sure that you have the right to use them in accordance to Wikipedia's GFDL/GNU policies. In other words, images that are protected by copy rights may not be used on Wikipedia for decorative purposes. If you wish to add Bears-related images to Wikipeida, I suggesting asking people on Flickr to use their permission. Thanks :). --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  19:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Chicago Bears seasons at WP:FLRC

You are one of the leading editors of Chicago Bears. Chicago Bears seasons has been listed at Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/Chicago Bears seasons for removal from the set of featured lists under the WP:FLRC procedures. I am not sure who to turn to, but the original WP:FLC nominator is unable to save the article. I hope you will consider responding to the discussion page issues and save the list.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 02:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Nick Osborn. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Please do not attack other contributors, as you did with this edit to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick Osborn. Continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Thank you. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:05, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Wikipedia. Antonio Lopez ^(talk) 18:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Please, read WP:ATHLETE and explain why you think this player article should not be deleted. The uncivil disruptive behavior will get you blocked. Please reconsider your actions. Thanks! - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for making personal attacks on other editors. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may do so when the block expires. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 18:22, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

FYI: AfD discussions can often result in improvements to articles that were lacking the information needed to substantiate their notability according to Wikipedia's community consensus-determined notability criteria. Cooperation with this process can help you better understand how Wikipedia works, and improve the quality of your already-appreciated efforts. Please, when the block above expires, in a dispassionate and nuanced manner, address the issues raised by the AfD discussion, and help us improve Wikipedia. Thanks! - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Why did you all block my sister? She was just trying to make your website better. You all didn't give her a chance to contribute. You all act like a gestapo. I don't feel sorry for you because of what she wrote. You all deserve it. Please unblock us. We just wanted to make it better.--Duke of Geography (talk) 20:42, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

If you want to request an unblock, you should do it by placing {{unblock|reason}} on this page, but I can almost assure you that any requests will be denied. You should consider yourself lucky I did not indefinitely block this account. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 21:30, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

May 2021

Hello, I'm SailingInABathTub. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Pinheiros, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You also marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information.

Hi Duke of Geography! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Verkada that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 13:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for the template spam. But yeah stop marking things as minor when they aren't. When in doubt just don't; there's no penalty for not marking an edit as minor when it could. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 13:21, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
