Disambiguation link notification for August 19

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

September 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to The New World (2005 film), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Please be advised that "box-office bomb" is considered contentious phrasing. As such, please do not use that language or link to the article on that topic without providing a source that describes the film thusly. DonIago (talk) 17:28, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

"box-office bomb" and "box-office failure" are synonyms! See the box-office bomb article! Indianawick (talk) 22:02, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Then perhaps it's best to avoid either one, if you feel that way. DonIago (talk) 03:57, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm HapHaxion. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to .fm have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. HapHaxion _{(talk / contribs)} 16:53, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. One of your recent contributions to AC/DC has been reverted or removed, because it contains speculative or unconfirmed information about a future event. Please only add material about future events if it is verifiable, based on a reliable source. I've had to remove your edit regarding Cliff Williams not joining the band for the upcoming tour, as it is speculative. Unless there are multiple sources or the band says something regarding if he is going on tour with them or not, it shouldn't be added. Thanks. HorrorLover555 (talk) 18:41, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

February 2024

Hello, I'm Trailblazer101. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Trailblazer101 (talk) 00:12, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello Indianawick! Your additions to Simple Minds have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.

• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.

• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's elegibility.

• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. Thank you. 2406:3003:2077:1E60:EA76:14DD:8E35:943E (talk) 22:10, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Gross

Thank you for updating the box office gross[1] it is good see an editor that remembers to update the article body when changing box office gross figures. On this occasion though you missed the lead section so I updated that too to match your edits. Thank you. -- 109.77.195.4 (talk) 15:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Your recent undiscussed unilateral move of a BLP in counter to our guidelines on MOS:GENDERID

Hello, I would like to let you know that your recent unilateral move of a WP:BLP in a contentious topic area is counter to our policies and guidelines of MOS:GENDERID. Please also note that you should avoid to WP:MISGENDER people and address them by their latest self-reported identity and pronouns. A request to revert your undiscussed move has been file at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. Thanks for your consideration. Raladic (talk) 04:46, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

October 2024

Hello, I'm Raladic. I noticed that you changed the personal pronouns of an individual in the article Rahim Redcar. Wikipedia refers to all people, including transgender and nonbinary people, by the pronouns they have most recently requested for themselves; this applies to all phases of their lives, unless they have requested otherwise. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. . Raladic (talk) 06:42, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Near?

Please read MOS:LARGENUM. Please round numbers in the normal way. Please do not use qualifiers such as "about" or near. Many editors fail to follow the reasonable guidelines but that is not a good reason for you to repeat their mistakes too.[2] -- 109.78.196.89 (talk) 02:17, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Stop it (diff)

It would be easier for you to just write the same number, but instead you have chose to ignore the MOS:LARGENUM guideline which clearly warns "Avoid using "approximately", "about", and similar terms with figures that have merely been approximated or rounded in a normal and expected way, unless the reader might otherwise be misled."

If you want to use one decimal place of precision then use it consistently. If you want to round up then round up consistently in all three cases.

Do not use qualifiers such as "near" again, just Stop it already. -- 109.79.69.146 (talk) 16:10, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

OK, 109.79.69.146...! I'll try to remember! Indianawick (talk) 23:23, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Budget range

I would appreciate your feedback Talk:Gladiator_II#Consensus_on_the_budget especially why you think the lower figure of $210 million should be excluded from the Infobox despite Template:Infobox film warning against cherry picking budget figures. Please reply on the article talk page. -- 109.78.199.177 (talk) 18:04, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
