Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page David Cronenberg has been reverted.
Your edit here to David Cronenberg was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline (see also this list of frequently-discussed sources). The reference(s) you added or changed (https://www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/68150/1/david-cronenberg-the-shrouds-ai-grief-vincent-cassell-film-interview) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to The Shrouds have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Take a look at our guidelines about external links. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Shifty (TV series). Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bakhtar40 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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:Abbas Zahedi 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.

Hello, DinosaurLibrary! 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! Bakhtar40 (talk) 12:39, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Linder Sterling, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.  
Your edit here to Linder Sterling was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline (see also this list of frequently-discussed sources). The reference(s) you added or changed (https://www.dazeddigital.com/art-photography/article/66093/1/linder-sterling-danger-came-smiling-hayward-gallery-exhibition-southbank-london) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to an image file on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable image.

Hi, I keep getting these notifications when I reference articles on Dazed - this is a published magazine, a source that is in line with Wikipedia's guidelines. Please help. DinosaurLibrary (talk) 13:56, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi DinosaurLibrary. Thank you for your work on Linda Gask. Another editor, Mariamnei, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thank you for your work on this article. Please show more coverage in secondary sources. Thanks and have a great day!

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Mariamnei}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Lesbian erasure, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the first author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 06:01, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for this, that's really helpful, as it was something I wasn't 100% sure about with international topics. I will do this in future. DinosaurLibrary (talk) 20:47, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Yvw. There are a ton of little rules like this and it's pretty impossible to be aware of them all, until someone reverts an edit or messages you about something. There are even rules about what hyphen or dash to use, or using "1 to 10" vs. "one to ten". At some point when you're bored or haven't decided what to do, spend a little time browsing the Wikipedia:Manual of style. Most of it is based on a certain underlying logic, and is not arbitrary; usually once I've read the logic behind some obscure rule, it kind of makes sense to me and I remember it, or at least, I remember where to go to look it up the next time. Happy editing, and feel free to reach out with questions any time. Mathglot (talk) 21:05, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, DinosaurLibrary. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Ellie Pennick, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five 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) 00:09, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
