but i want to come back Vanished user 26948290 (talk) 21:52, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

If you wish to reinstate the account, please request that first. Add {{Help me}} below to attract assistance from an admin. General Ization ^Talk 21:53, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

i did. Vanished user 26948290 (talk) 21:56, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Your account must be reinstated before you edit any articles. Please stop editing articles until that process is completed. General Ization ^Talk 21:59, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Pinging @Cabayi for assistance who is an admin and handles renames. Cabayi given this editor is editing again, they no longer qualify for WP:VANISH so I am assuming their previous User name needs to be restored or some other remedy.

Vanished user 26948290, as General Ization stated, you should not edit until this is resolved which I hope is an easy/quick process. S0091 (talk) 22:34, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Paranoid (Kanye West song). Binksternet (talk) 22:54, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, S0091 (talk) 18:30, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Merv Mat, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Disambiguation link notification for January 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detectedthat when you recently edited NBCUniversal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bravo. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 05:47, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

January 2024

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Bad Blood (Taylor Swift song), did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

February 2024

Hello, I'm Fritzmann2002. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kai (Ninjago), 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. Please do not create this page again. This would violate the three revert rule. Discuss the merits of an article on the subject on the talk page. Fritzmann (message me) 20:25, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 2

What are you doing with DC and related pages?

Please stop, I object a change of this scale without a proper move request. Blanking content is not the way to do a re-arrangement of pages. Moves are. Skynxnex (talk) 19:12, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Ah it looks like you want DC Entertainment to be at just DC. I don't believe it is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC ahead of things such as Direct current or Washington, D.C. (to name two). Skynxnex (talk) 19:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Definitely agree with the above. Please do not perform cut-and-paste moves. It messes up attribution. XabqEfdg (talk) 19:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm changing DC to DC (disambiguation) and DC Entertainment to DC. I'm currently putting in the infobox.

Merv Mat (talk) 3:17, 13 May 2024 Merv Mat (talk) 19:18, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

I am going to revert your changes to DC, DC Entertainment, and DC (disambiguation). You need to start a WP:Requested move (or multiple ones) for this. Skynxnex (talk) 19:19, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok. Merv Mat (talk) 19:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

@Merv Mat Done. Wanting to change this is a reasonable desire but as @XabqEfdg says, you performed a couple of WP:CUTPASTE moves which aren't desirable and disrupting a long-standing consensus to have the disambiguation page at the base name of DC and needs to be discussed before being changed. Skynxnex (talk) 19:31, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

May 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Westinghouse Electric Corporation, without good reason. They should 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. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. – robertsky (talk) 04:39, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Per the banner on top of American major traditional television networks: Please do not move this article until the discussion is closed. Since Talk:American major traditional television networks#Requested move 16 May 2024 is still open and was recently relisted, I will be reverting the moves.

I'm seeing—based on user page warnings alone—a pattern of improper moves. If you want to have a less frustrating time here, I highly suggest ceasing this pattern, refraining from moving pages, and focusing on other improvements to the encyclopedia, such as adding citations to unsourced statements. Thank you. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 01:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
