<Hello I am having trouble with an account that seems to be a non- disclosed alt account, reverting edits and making sweeping changes to pages, there seems to be other accounts involved >

1. You haven't said what accounts are involved, so what do expect anyone to do about them?
2. You have posted about this in several places. Please see WP:FORUMSHOP.
3. As you have already been told by an administrator, you have not made a case for any abuse. JBW (talk) 10:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply, To answer your first question when and where is it appropriate to mention the accounts involved. Regards Foristslow (talk) 10:34, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

• Hello, I'm JimRenge. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Nondualism, 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. JimRenge (talk) 09:21, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Your addition of text copied directly from UC Berkeley without explicitly crediting the source may also have been a violation of Wikipedia:Plagiarism.

• The cite you just added to Intersectionality seems fine to me because its content supports the text of the article. Not because "An award for one is an award for all." - Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 15:43, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

You have reached WP:3RR at Bodhidharma. Please stop your WP:DISRUPTIVE point of view-pushing; your edits contain usourced material, factual incorrect statements, and grammatical errors. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 13:56, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Bodhidharma, did not appear to be constructive and have 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 your 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.

Hello, I'm JimRenge. An edit that you recently made to Buddhabhadra (translator) seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Bátuó is Buddhabhadra the Shaolin abbot, not Buddhabhadra (translator) . Please see also WP:INTEGRITY and . JimRenge (talk) 06:26, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for my harsh responses and criticisms; some of your edits really didn't make sense (Bodhidharma regarded as the founder op Chan-Buddhism in pop-culture, while this is a basic origins-story of the Chan-tradition itself), but I do understand now that your intentions are sincere, and that there are some obstacles with regard to cross-lingual subtleties. As I wrote on one of the talkpages. John Mcrae's Seeing Through Zenis really recommendable to read. Also Morton Schlutter How Zen Became Zen is very informative. John McRae is easier to read, but both are very good. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:47, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for you're kind words Jonathan,My feeling is that robust enthusiastic dialogue is very important. Remembering to keep your equinimity so we can get to the truth. I am still not convinced that the history is correct. But we can work to some common ground through looking through the reference material, thank you once again. 🙏🏼 Foristslow (talk) 21:42, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I saw your edits at this article. In the body text of an article, you should not use slashes. Additionally, please avoid marking edits adding or removing references as minor edits. Have a wonderful weekend. :) jellyfish ✉ 01:42, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Thankyou, my editor is playing up. Ment to not do that with the reference. You have a great day also. Foristslow (talk) 01:57, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:13, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Venerable Wuling. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it has no sources. 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. Squawk7700 (talk) 12:13, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Venerable Wuling when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.
