October 2014

Hello, I'm McGeddon. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Dom Joly, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. We shouldn't say that someone "appears" to have a certain political stance based on our own observations. McGeddon (talk) 22:34, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Vernon Kay, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Modelling. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi there! 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)

I noticed your recent edit to James Woods does not have an edit summary. 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. Thanks! -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 19:21, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Overlinking

Hi. I see you like working on film plots. I often like to do that, too, and there are many articles that need to be improved. However, you're linking too many trivial words, such as "sex" to sexual intercourse. Generally, you shouldn't link generic English words. This is called overlinking, and it violates the manual of style. In general, you should only link the most important words. If a character goes to the hospital, you wouldn't link the word "hospital" – it's a pretty generic word. Likewise, if they eat lunch, you wouldn't link "lunch", either, for the same reason. However, you might link "Halloween", as this holiday is not practiced worldwide, and people from countries where Halloween is not practiced might not understand the customs involved. Also, you might link complex topics, such as "multiple sclerosis" or "Pauli exclusion principle", which may require a link to explain what they are. In general, if it's a very common phrase or word, don't link it. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:09, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to the Four Weddings and a Funeral plot summary have been removed because they added a significant amount of unnecessary detail. Please avoid excessive detail and high word counts when editing plot summaries/synopses. You may read the plot summary edit guides to learn more about contributing constructively to plot summaries/synopses. There are also specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books.

December 2017

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Christian Bale. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been 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 notice boards.
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. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 4TheWynne^{(talk)(contribs)} 22:43, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at O Brother, Where Art Thou?, you may be blocked from editing. The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 16:55, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from changing genres, as you did to O Brother, Where Art Thou?, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first.

Just a friendly reminder 😊

Hey, I really appreciate your contributions to Daniel Day-Lewis. Keep that editing up! One thing though: try not to overlink articles, in these circumstances:

Names of very widely-known cities, regions and countries (see link I provided)
Things that have already been linked to above in the article (apart from the Lead, which is its own can of beans.

This is to prevent creating links that no-one will click (because their subjects are obvious), to ultimately help article readability. If ever you need help, post something on my talk page and I'll be happy to assist. Good luck in your editing carreer! Double Plus Ungood (talk) 22:34, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of stock characters

I wondered if there is a reason why you are replacing examples instead of just adding new ones. Do you think they are inaccurate or obscure?

Discretionary sanctions

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Overlinking

Hi. I see others have notified you in the past about WP:OVERLINKING. Have you read this? We don't need links to "assassinate" and to "retirement" - these are common terms. Also see WP:EASTEREGG. A link like [[Manhattan|New York]] is not acceptable. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 16:06, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

February 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Charlie Sheen, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

OVERLINKING

You have been asked repeatedly to read WP:OVERLINK. I have no way of knowing if you have read it. It is clear, however that you are either unwilling or unable to abide by the guideline. You also have refused to discuss the issue.

I'll go back and clear out a few more of the articles you have edited. If you continue to add links to common English terms, you will be blocked from editing. - SummerPhD^v2.0 01:36, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at User:TheReeDog. You show no indication of having even considered WP:OVERLINK or the idea that your unrestrained linking is anything but helpful. Having apparently never used an edit summary or visited a talk page, it would seem a block is necessary to get your attention.

This edit adds links for locations (New York City, Europe), common occupations (detective) and other common nouns virtually every fluent English speaker understands and does not need significant other knowledge of to understand the article (suicide, etc.).

If you disagree or do not understand, please discuss the issue on this talk page. SummerPhD^v2.0 06:11, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello TheReeDog, please stop disrupting Wikipedia. You have had several warnings. cookie monster (2020) 755 18:16, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for failure to address the warnings you have received. If you are not aware of having this talkpage, a block will hopefully help you find it. Any admin may unblock as soon as you start to respond here.

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 ~~~~}}. Bishonen | tålk 21:34, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I'm sorry User:Bishonen. If I'm unblocked I will use Wikipedia accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheReeDog (talk • contribs)

Decline reason:

You will use it accordingly? What does that mean? You have repeatedly failed to respond to questions raised about your behavior, or take those recommendations on board. You will need to show that you communicate and deal with the issues raised. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 06:04, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Unblock part 2

User:CaptainEek I see your point thank you for the correspondence. Could the block at-least have a date on it, instead of indefinitely. I understand the issue of overlinking and will no longer practice it.
