Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Goworowo 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. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:51, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started
Hi Marcelus. Thank you for your work on Institute for Nobles in Vilnius. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
Thank you for this well-written and developed article on the 19th century school in Vilnius. As another editor has noted, it relies rather heavily on one source (there currently only being two sources). It would therefore be helpful to expand the breadth of sources, primiarly to help with verifiability, as well to as more confidently assert notability. Alternatively, a merge to the rather short Institute for Nobles might be best.
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Undefined sfn references in Christianization of Lithuania
Hi, in this edit to Christianization of Lithuania you introduced {{sfn}} refrences to "Bednarczuk 2024". Unfortunately there is no such work listed in the article. This means that readers cannot verify the reference, and also that the article is added to Category:Harv and Sfn template errors. If you could supply the missing source it would be appreciated.

"Bednarczuk 2024" in Christianization of Lithuania
Can you please add the full cite to "Bednarczuk 2024" in Christianization of Lithuania? Three {{sfn}} cites were added in May 2025 without a corresponding full cite.
Also, suggest installing a script to highlight these errors. See instructions at Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors.
Thanks, Renata•3 04:37, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Ostrogski during the Brest Synod of 1596
Hallo, Marcelus. Could you provide a bibliographical source for your information on the actual locations of the competing fractions' gatherings during the Brest Synod (Union of Brest)? This could be useful for improving the article on Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski. Skoropadsky (talk) 15:07, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?
