April 2009

Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Popcorn worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Thank you.

Could you tell me where you sourced the U.S. chart positions from ? As per Wikipedia:Verifiability they do not come from the reference that is quoted. Thanks,

November 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Love and Rockets (band). When removing maintenance templates, 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.

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in you being blocked from editing Wikipedia. --22:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

February 2010

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Frédéric Chopin. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. --Frania W. (talk) 21:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Charts

Actually I don't have the charts. User:BravesFan2006 updates them. May I ask what article you're talking about that I added? EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 15:50, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to the United States article have been reverted. The existing style is perfectly proper, well-established, and applied consistently. There is no good reason to change it. Here are links to two pages it might help to study, along with a quote from each pertinent to the recent matter.

Manual of Style:

"The Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style, and that revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable. Where there is disagreement over which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor."

Manual of Style (dates and numbers):

"As a general rule, in the body of an article, single-digit whole numbers from zero to nine are spelled out in words; numbers greater than nine are commonly rendered in numerals, or in words if they are expressed in one or two words (16 or sixteen, 84 or eighty-four, 200 or two hundred, but 3.75, 544, 21 million)."

removal

born - Bronx, New York died - Phoenix, Arizona

I was wondering, why did you remove Arizona? Off2riorob (talk) 18:16, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your previous edit was a similar edit and was also reverted ? Off2riorob (talk) 18:20, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more careful

Hello. Please try to be less careless with your edits, and next time please check the facts first, before you decide to fix something seemingly wrong, like the company name in DivX, Inc. Not everything that looks wrong is wrong, especially when it has stood the test of time and edits by many people, remained unchallenged for years, and when Google or the Web archive can give the answer in a matter of seconds. Thank you.—J. M. (talk) 03:35, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

February 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Bleeding Love, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please do not make unneeded changes, the MOS states that both are correct and is unneeded to make those changes Tbhotch* ۩ ۞ 23:57, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in U + Ur Hand. There is a Manual of Style, edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Tbhotch* ۩ ۞ 00:23, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in The Sweet Escape. There is a Manual of Style, edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. SnapSnap 13:22, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at The Sweet Escape, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. SnapSnap 22:07, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on The Sweet Escape. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
  3. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. rʨanaɢ (talk) 00:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of tags

Please stop removing maintenance tags, particularly the "citation needed" tags from articles such as Christine McVie and When You Say. They're there for a reason, not to be removed wholesale without a single reference being added. Any further removals wil be considered vandalism. Bretonbanquet (talk) 11:11, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tristan Taormino

I've removed the date of birth and the source which you cited in the Tristan Taormino article. The site which you referenced, WorldLingo.com, is using an old copy of the Wikipedia article. The reference is WP:CIRCULAR. Please don't use them as a reference. Thanks, Dismas|(talk) 04:37, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

March 2011

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to The Hangover (film), 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. -- Doniago (talk) 04:00, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your edits

You may want to read WP:ORDINAL on when it's appropriate to change numbers from words to numerals. Most of your edits, though in good faith, are unnecessary and frequently counter to our style guidelines. I notice you've already been warned about this before, yet you are continuing making these same sorts of edits. Please be more diligent in your editing. -- œ 07:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

July 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Amy Winehouse discography. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 05:34, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Rokstarr. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!

WP:NUMBERS: "numbers greater than nine are commonly rendered in numerals, or in words if they are expressed in one or two words (16 or sixteen, 84 or eighty-four)." This does say that they can go on either way. If you insist in make lame wars, as explainded here (If an article has been stable in a given style, it should not be converted without a style-independent reason), you may be blocked from editing.
