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 Christian observance of Passover, 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.

Hi, can you explain why you don't think that my edits were constructive? I put a lot of effort into those and don't appreciate them being reverted. Krhinestone (talk) 18:02, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Of course - your edits seemed to, in part, edit neutral language already present in the article into non-encyclopaedic and potentially biased language. Your new edits are much better and appear to get your intended points across while appearing more neutral. My comment wasn’t an indication that you have done anything ‘wrong’, just that care always needs to be taken with contentious topics like this one. Thank you for your contributions! Harryb7 (talk) 18:46, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

I should also note that the article has been marked for merging into a different one (details can be found at the top of the article), so rather than editing it directly it would be better (if you have time) to move the content you are adding to the target article instead. Harryb7 (talk) 18:50, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

I did look at the instructions for doing that, but it is beyond my skillset at this time. Krhinestone (talk) 18:52, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate that! Krhinestone (talk) 18:52, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

This is only my second day editing, so I appreciate the clear feedback! Krhinestone (talk) 18:58, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

No worries, it’s a steep learning curve! Harryb7 (talk) 19:18, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days, and you are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Krhinestone, you still aren't extended confirmed so you shouldn't be making edits like these that are related to the conflict: - Butterscotch Beluga (talk) 17:45, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Got it. I thought that was just about editing pages locked and marked contentious, I didn’t realize that also applied to edits within other pages. I’ll refrain from further related edits until I get that status! Krhinestone (talk) 18:17, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Steven Davidoff Solomon, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A generic name error. References show this error when author or editor name parameters use place-holder names. Please edit the article to include the source's actual author or editor name. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 21:07, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Erwin Chemerinsky did not have an edit summary. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary, or by discussion on the talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit or to describe what it 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:

or in the visual editor:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. When logged in to your Wikipedia account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Editor → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button.

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page 1739 in Sweden, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A dates error. References show this error when one of the date-containing parameters is incorrectly formatted. Please edit the article to correct the date and ensure it is formatted to follow the Wikipedia Manual of Style's guidance on dates. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 00:33, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Overpopulation of domestic pets, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hoarders was added. 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.)

Hello Krhinestone! Your additions to Overpopulation of domestic pets have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license—to request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § Licensing.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:41, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Flavoring, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. Please use WP:RS review sources. Also, "don't" use contractions in your writing, WP:MOS, MOS:CONTRACT. Zefr (talk) 23:46, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
