Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at List of Hollyoaks characters (2020), you may be blocked from editing. livelikemusic (TALK!) 01:27, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm correcting Potts-E-20 (talk) 01:28, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're not. Per MOS:DATETOPRES and {{Infobox soap character}}, which follows the MOS stated prior, it states: For ranges "to present", constructions such as 1982–present (with unspaced en dash), January 1, 2011 – present (spaced ndash), or January 2011 – present (spaced ndash) may be used, but other constructions may be more appropriate in prose (see § Statements likely to become outdated). In tables and infoboxes where space is limited, pres. may be used (1982–pres.). Do not use incomplete-looking constructions such as 1982– and 1982–... . You are violating manual of style policy, which is against Wikipedia's rules and guidelines, and will lead to a block if this behaviour continues. livelikemusic (TALK!) 01:31, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Totally unreasonable Potts-E-20 (talk) 01:32, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's your opinion, however, we must follow the MOS, and persistently violating it, as you have, will lead to a block from the website. livelikemusic (TALK!) 01:33, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Peggy Mitchell. BEAMALEXANDER!, talk 06:08, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced birth dates

Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Gregory Finnegan. In this edit, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware the many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases. This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we have to either go without this information or wait until a source like Entertainment Weekly publishes an interview that includes this information. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:19, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Gavin & Stacey, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Gareth Griffith-Jones (contribs) (talk) 10:31, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hollyoaks Later (2020 special), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Edward Hutchinson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 20:55, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The Big Bang Theory. 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. AussieLegend (✉) 23:14, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

–present

Hello! I saw you reverted my edit on Norris Cole twice. I added "2019–present" to comply with MOS:DATETOPRES, which states: "Do not use incomplete-looking constructions such as 1982– and 1982–...". Please take a read of the guideline, and don't revert any such edits going forward. – DarkGlow (talk) 15:52, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Shenton Dixon

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Shenton Dixon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 21:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Connor McIntyre moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Connor McIntyre, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Notice of sockpuppetry block

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Elliotthomaspotts per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Elliotthomaspotts.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Mz7 (talk) 03:45, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Shenton Dixon

Hello, Potts-E-20. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Shenton Dixon".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:00, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
