June 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to IMacros, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Fleet Command (talk) 15:11, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

August 2011

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Template:Latest stable software release/RealPlayer. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Fleet Command (talk) 14:46, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Additional note: This issue of vandalism is separate from your attempt to censor verifiable information (i.e Linux's latest release version and date), because you not only remove those data but also vandalize the template. None is acceptable. Fleet Command (talk) 15:03, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Red links are fine

Please read WP:REDLINK; rest assured that red links are fine things to have. Josh Parris 01:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and WP:NOTBROKEN may be of interest too. Josh Parris 01:56, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

May 2012

Before removing a category to a series of articles, as you did to Gears (software) etc, please make sure that the subject of the article really doesn't belong in the category that you removed according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. I do not follow your edit summary for the removal of this category - you have marked "never really a firefox add-on" on several articles and removed the Mozilla add-ons category. Widefox (talk) 00:29, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Petname, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. I reverted your: moved page Petname to Petname Tool "prepare to split off Firefox extension"...as reason given not followed through, and disagree with that premise anyhow. Widefox (talk) 15:55, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

and M86 SecureBrowsing. I am reviewing and reverting all the other articles in this controversial spree. Widefox (talk) 12:56, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Talkback

Hello, Oneforfortytwo. You have new messages at Jax 0677's talk page.
Message added 16:09, 27 April 2013 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Article titles

I undid your move of NoScript, and started a discussion on the talk page. Although I take your point that this is (literally) the new name, we use the common name (rather than having to immediately follow the name listing at Mozilla/extension name). In case you haven't seen this...for controversial moves/title changes you may want to use the talk page, or WP:RM (per WP:MOVE and WP:TITLE). Cheers and keep up the good work. Widefox; talk 10:47, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:DouglasEMoore.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DouglasEMoore.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 23:22, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Dealing with a special editor

Thank you for this. I have given the perpetrator of what you reverted a richly earned break from making further "contributions". Racist, vandal, liar: his further actions, if any, will need some attention. If you could help to keep an eye on what he does after 31 hours have elapsed, I and (more importantly) readers would be most grateful. -- Hoary (talk) 10:23, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Monet series moves

What was the idea here? Did you raise these significant moves to popular articles on any of their talk pages? The paintings in the various series have not all been given the same title, and it is important to let the reader know up front whether the article covers one painting or over 20. Consistency is good, but we should be using the best style consistently. Johnbod (talk) 02:24, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedcubing

Hello, Thank you for catching the vandalism on Speedcubing and for updating the records. I just wanted ask you to wait until new records appear on the WCA-page. The 1.20 pyraminx single isn't on the website yet and therefore not verifiable. But as it will be in a few days max, I left it as it is. Thanks and keep on cubing, Judith Sunrise (talk) 16:35, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Also thank you for cleaning up the article. English is not my mother tongue and my formulations were not ideal (but couldn't leave the nonsense that was written before). Judith Sunrise (talk) 17:43, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Combining entries on number-one lists formatted like List of K-pop Hot 100 number ones is

Regarding your edit to List of K-pop Hot 100 number ones—formatting it like this makes no sense, because you did not compensate for how a song can seemingly spend 12 continuous weeks at number one from December 2021 onwards while also listing that IU's "Winter Sleep" spent a week at number one in January 2022. Even if you did compensate by putting a note or date range in the date column, it would be a mess and not worth doing. Why is repeating the formatting for the song title and artist such a bother? It isn't. It's logical to split songs by their runs at number one, not combine multiple interrupted runs into one entry while changing nothing else and leave readers playing some guessing game about how a song's multiple runs fit around everything listed subsequently. As I pointed out in my edit summary, it's not a common occurrence on the Billboard K-pop Hot 100 for songs to have multiple runs at number one anyway. I don't know why you did this as if it's some bother that we needed to fix. The list is fine as it is. Please don't combine entries in future or restore your edit per WP:BRD. Thank you. Ss112 13:27, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

I agree that it makes more sense to list the chart runs separately, but since the page at the time combined the chart runs for songs, I decided to stick with the established formatting, since it didn't make sense to combine chart runs for one year and separate them for another. It seems like you realized that the formatting was not consistent, since you subsequently edited the page to include separate chart runs for songs. Anyway, this point is now moot, and I am fine with the new formatting, as I said previously. Oneforfortytwo (talk) 08:48, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
