Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Louis Armstrong, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Hello Legofan3484! Your additions to Selena 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 § License requirements.

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. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 22:48, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Britt Allcroft, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Opolito (talk) 17:26, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in The Bahamas, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please see MOS:OVERLINK for guidance on linking names of countries.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jane Pauley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Democratic Party. 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) 19:54, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Discospinster. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Jovenel Moïse—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. ... discospinster _talk 00:59, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Jovenel Moïse, you may be blocked from editing. Opolito (talk) 01:50, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at René Préval. Opolito (talk) 01:53, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Sorry. Legofan3484 (talk) 01:58, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, 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.

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 here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hello, I'm Remsense. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you unlinked one or more redlinks. Redlinks are useful and can often be helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

In addition, clicking on the "What links here" link (in the tools listed at the left in desktop view) on a missing article shows how many—and which—articles depend on that article being created. This can help prioritize article creation. Please only remove a redlink if you are pretty sure that it is to a non-notable topic and not likely ever to be created. Thanks!

Perhaps you think Mikhail Mishustin looks very pretty in his 2020 official government photo, and that's why you're repeatedly trying to change the image of him on the Russia article to it, but I'm going to ask you to gain consensus before you attempt to do so again, as not only is the current image in use more up to date, being taken this very year, but it's also a much more natural photo consistent with the one of Putin. TylerBurden (talk) 20:06, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:48, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

In case it wasn't clear before, your frequent lack of edit summaries is a bad habit and at best comes off as lazy. Please start implementing them more often. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:05, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

I agree. Doug Weller talk 12:15, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Special Agent Oso, but you didn't provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Waxworker (talk) 16:51, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I'm ZergTwo. I just wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to the page Albert Einstein have been reverted because they appear to have added incorrect information. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source, discuss it on the article's talk page, or leave me a message on my talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. The German Empire and Germany are not the same thing. They should not be used interchangeably. ZergTwo (talk) 18:05, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Magitroopa (talk) 16:02, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Mo Willems, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. Thank you. Magitroopa (talk) 16:22, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at 2026 G20 Miami summit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Ecourter (talk) 08:47, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected to collaborate with others, avoid editing disruptively, and try to reach a consensus – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.

Important points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive behavior – regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.

You need to discuss the disagreement on the article's talk page and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution if discussions reach an impasse. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to engage in edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. 331dot (talk) 13:44, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

@331dot I am not sure if this is referring to Russia, but they are edit warring there as well over images. TylerBurden (talk) 22:52, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Legofan3484, I see that other editors have repeatedly asked you to review WP:OVERLINKING and to stop linking common terms. I have reverted your edit to Pinocchio (1940 film) here as you are still linking common terms such as fox, puppet, cricket, and donkey (that's not an exhaustive list, just a few I grabbed as an example). You also linked anthropomorphic twice. Such overlinking is not helpful to our readers, so please please be more selective on what you link, and if you're unsure, just don't add links at all.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:16, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hank Williams, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mount Olive, Alabama.

Howdy. Please read 2018 RFC on infoboxes & revert your change to the infobox at Delcy Rodriguez. -- GoodDay (talk) 18:33, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

You made an edit to the page on the first line without seeing the talk page discussion, and that's why your edit was reverted there. My position is the opposite, but I still referred this discussion to the talk page of that article (Talk:Nicolás Maduro). Candidyeoman55 (talk) 19:47, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
