Your edits to July 23

edit

Dear 165.83.133.250,
  Some of your edits on the page July 23 have been undone by PseudoBot, a robot built to keep the date pages tidy. The problems are:

The person you added doesn't seem to have a Wikipedia page.

If the page exists, check that you've spelled and capitalized the name the same way as the article, and try again. If it doesn't yet exist, read this page carefully before creating it. In particular, you shouldn't create a page about yourself or anyone you know personally. If this bot has got it wrong (as can unfortunately happen), please accept its author's apologies, and (if you would like) leave a message on this talk page with the details, so it can be improved.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did with this edit to Thompson Island (Massachusetts), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:03, 12 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, American black bear ‎ , but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so!

Edit summaries when changing dates

edit

Hi: When you change dates in an article, could you please use the edit summary to explain why you are making the change. Unexplained changing of numbers and dates is a very prevalent form of "sneaky vandalism" on Wikipedia, which detracts from the encyclopedia's accuracy, but is less likely to be caught then writing dirty words or other more obvious kinds of vandalism. If you explain why you change a date, it's more likely to not be reverted by another editor, who at least can check to make sure everything;s OK. Thanks. BMK (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Actually, it's a good idea to use edit summaries all the time, if you can. BMK (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content from Ellis Island without explaining why.

  Please do not introduce anachronisms into articles by calling people by titles which they did not have at the time of the events in questions. It is inaccurate and degrades articles. DuncanHill (talk) 21:33, 13 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Recent edit to Mrs. Leslie Carter

  Hello. I noticed that you recently made a contribution to the Mrs. Leslie Carter article that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! However, test edits on live articles disrupt Wikipedia and may confuse readers. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so.

  Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Verree Teasdale. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. While you did cite a search at ancestry.com, without a paid subscription, nobody can verify the information. In addition, you went into more detail about the subject's parents than would normally be done, especially in a lead paragraph. tubedogg (talk) 20:02, 29 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, 165.83.133.250. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page United States Park Police, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. CataracticPlanets (talk) 04:44, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
