Re: Nessa

Hi, welcome to wikipedia! I saw your article on Nessa, and I wanted to hit you up about some concerns I had on it. Namely that while there does seem to be discussion about it, it's small size and reliance on Valnet sources. While the sources you have feel like they can be fleshed out, and even the Valnet issue worked around, the biggest issue is there may not be enough to *say* about the character itself in the article, similarly to what happened with Larry from Scarlet/Violet. Kung Fu Man (talk) 06:21, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, is it too much to ask for your help in finding sources or help from others who you might know on here? TreeElf (talk) 06:37, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
I'm doing some digging, the main problem is going to be your body. There's also a smaller issue of while there is WP:SIGCOV, these sources need to be fleshed out. When you have an article that's small enough it could fit into a list entry all its own, it's prime targeting for a deletion discussion.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 07:03, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your input. I hope the article I've created is retained on this site. It would be great if others could also contribute and improve it further. TreeElf (talk) 07:28, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
Nessa's article has been rated B-class. Thanks for all the help again! TreeElf (talk) 19:42, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Haruhi Suzumiya Buruma.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Haruhi Suzumiya Buruma.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 19:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Nessa SWSH concept art.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Nessa SWSH concept art.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 19:37, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed a file deletion tag from File:Haruhi Suzumiya Buruma.jpg. When removing deletion tags, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 19:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Information icon Please do not remove file deletion tags from file description pages on Wikipedia, as you did to File:Haruhi Suzumiya Buruma.jpg, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 20:58, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

  • Note - The problem is not with the non-free usage rationale. That cannot be fixed by fiddling with the file description. -- Whpq (talk) 20:59, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edits you made 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:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

or in the visual editor:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Describe what you changed

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 Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Marincyclist (talk) 06:18, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on List of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School alumni, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! DonIago (talk) 06:41, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Information icon 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! Marincyclist (talk) 19:13, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Stranger Things

I saw that you edit a lot on Stranger Things, and I was wondering if you would be interested in helping clean up and expand the character articles? I don't really have the time to do any mass editing on the whole cast, but I could certainly do the legwork and collect a bunch of sources to give all of the articles as meaty a reception as ol' Ted Cukie Gherkin (talk) 06:56, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello. It’s funny you asked, because ironically, I’m the one who added the expand section notices to the Season 5 sections on several Stranger Things character articles. I’m quite busy irl at the moment. I’ll see what I can do when I find the time, but I’d suggest reaching out to other editors you’re familiar with as well, just in case.

Minor Edits

Information icon Hi TreeElf! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Marincyclist (talk) 01:12, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Please Use Edit Summaries and Stop Incorrectly Marking Edits as "Minor"

Hi TreeElf. I notice you have received several notices about marking non-minor edits as "minor", and for not using edit summaries. Please note that according to Wikipedia's policy on consensus, all edits should be explained. (See, WP:FIES). In addition, a "minor" edit has a very specific meaning on Wikipedia. A minor edit is a superficial edit that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. (See, WP:ME). Generally, adding or deleting words does not fall into the definition of a minor edit. (Id.) Thanks, Marincyclist (talk) 19:25, 19 January 2026 (UTC)
