Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to DV (video format) 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 by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! — voidxor 01:16, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm PEPSI697. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Nhật Lâm, 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. Thank you. PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 08:20, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Flag of Scottsburg, Indiana.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:13, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Buddy731. Thank you for your work on Islamic State – Green Brigade Province. Another editor, Hey man im josh, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

It's unclear why this redirect to the target makes sense.

Thanks for your comment, Hey man im josh. I know you think that this redirect is unclear why it this redirect to the target makes sense, but I'm here to explain.

The "Islamic State" claims at least eight to nine known "provinces" in Yemen. One of which is Green Brigade Province (Wilāyat Liwa Akhdar), which consists of both Ibb and Taiz Governorates in Yemen. Buddy731 (talk) 04:00, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Yehoshua Lakner, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Swiss and Israeli. 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) 07:53, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Buddy731. I noticed that your recent edit to Template:Country data Uva Province added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you.  Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 07:45, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

A redirect or redirects you have created has been listed at redirects for discussion to determine whether its use and function meets the redirect guidelines. Anyone, including you, is welcome to comment on this redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 July 5 § Islamic State provinces until a consensus is reached.

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

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:Logos of the Islamic State 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 reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

I have to admit, I didn't create this gallery, but I did add more logos to it. Buddy731 (talk) 22:55, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Just a little constructive note re your recent talk page edit: As an FYI, Wikipedia and talk pages are not a forum. You don't need to start your TP discussions with Hi, guys as you might in a general internet forum. Certainly, if you like starting things off with a greeting it's not prohibited. I just think you'll appear more experienced to experienced editors if you don't. And just to be clear, my comment here is meant to be helpful and not at all as a criticism. ButlerBlog (talk) 14:27, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

The page Islamic State – Hijaz Province has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:58, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Oh, yeah. I completely forgot I accidentally created a redirect. Thanks for the heads up. Buddy731 (talk) 17:35, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

I really liked that infobox you used for the Draft:Territory of the Islamic State – Sahel Province, do you think you could do that for Territory of the Islamic State – West Africa Province? JaxsonR (talk) 19:32, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you but can you please add the Capital, Religion and population JaxsonR (talk) 04:25, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

The capital, just like the leader, is currently unknown. As for the religion, a lot of articles that use the infobox settlement template do not have to fill in the religion. And finally, I copied the population from the Daular Musulunci article. Buddy731 (talk) 05:25, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

The old infobox had a more recent estimate in 2022, why not use that? JaxsonR (talk) 07:58, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

here, please copy and paste this infobox with accurate population and other statistics in it. User:JaxsonR/Sandbox/ISWAP infobox JaxsonR (talk) 15:20, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Your page Draft:Islamic State – Lebanon Province looks good enough to be a stub. I don't know how to review it, but you should be able to move it to the main Wikipedia yourself by now? Late Night Coffee ☕ (talk) 08:11, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

I'll see how that goes. Buddy731 (talk) 19:43, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Territory of the Taliban (1994–1996). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it has no sources and lacks sufficient context. I have converted it 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 the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. • Quinn (talk) 21:22, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
