June 2014

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Prawn cocktail may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

| main_ingredient = [[Prawn]]s, [[cocktail sauce]])

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 07:22, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Hot Brown, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Ibadibam (talk) 18:47, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Chesa Boudin. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Backendgaming (talk) 07:00, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Avono. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Maximilian von Spee, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Avono♂ (talk) 22:09, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding your own opinions about organisations - they have their own articles so readers can decide if an organisation is left, right, centrist, green, whatever. Continuing to add personal analysis can, as this IP address was told before, result in a block. Dougweller (talk) 21:53, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copied from your post to me re the SPLC

SPLC

Gee, I injected my own opinion about SPLC and ADL because the articles involved have their own biased POV about the subjects of those articles, in which they are characterized as allegedly "right-wing." I will keep editing them until you stop labeling those persons and organizations as such or allow for parity. Wikipedia has a reputation now as the province of left-wing petty tyrants masquerading as editors. ESAD, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.215.242.83 (talk • contribs)

Adding your own opinion is a violation of basic policies WP:VERIFY and WP:NOR. The articles you are discussing are John Tanton, who is not described as right-wing, a term not even in his article, NumbersUSA also not described as right-wing, and Virginia Abernethy. She's described as a leader of the radical right (which she might well agree with, by the way), but we don't call her right-wing, we say that the SPLC sees her as a leader. In all the discussions we've had about the SPLC it's been agreed that it is a reliable source for such descriptions as long was we make we attribute them to the SPLC and don't state as fact that the subject is, eg, right-wing. And the lead to her article says nothing about her being right-wing, that's a mention further down. Dougweller (talk) 07:06, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And if you do find unsourced characterisations (note that leads don't need sources if the source is in the body of the article), remove them, don't add more material of a type you complain doesn't belong. Dougweller (talk) 07:12, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you may be blocked from editing. Acroterion (talk) 06:05, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've made this an emphatic warning because you've declared an intention to edit-war to have your way [1]. Acroterion (talk) 06:08, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
