Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Philosophy of motion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zeno. 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.

  Hello, I'm BilCat. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Jamaica, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge

edit

Hi, at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible! Thanks.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:41, 28 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited History of Ireland, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tudor (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.)

  Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Tír Amhlaidh. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:10, 18 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm CorbieVreccan. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Túath, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The article could certainly use some expansion, but you have to source it, especially if you're going to cut sourced content and replace it with what could be perceived as your own opinions, interpretations or conclusions. As Wikipedians, we can only provide sourced content and allow the readers to draw their own conclusions based on that content. Slán, - CorbieV 23:26, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Túath, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Excuse me, Don't just hit revert. Engage. Why are you adding unsourced content? - CorbieV 23:35, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sligo/references

edit

Hi. Thanks for your recent additions to the Sligo article. I couldn't help but notice that your additions were not supported by any references of any kind. Without references, other editors and readers cannot verify the accuracy of the content. Which is a core tenet of the project. Content that is not supported by references may be removed by other editors at any time. Guliolopez (talk) 10:01, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Guliolopez: Thankyou for your interest, i have placed a construction tag on the page which i should have done earlier. I had to leave off editing suddenly. References will be inserted later. Thanks again. Kodai (talk) 10:18, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

When changes can be marked as minor

edit

  Hi Dylanovsky! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Sligo that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. In general when changing or deleting content the change shouldn't be marked as minor, thankyou Djm-leighpark (talk) 23:53, 26 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
