Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. – bradv  🍁  19:57, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Avett Brothers discography, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American Records ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/The_Avett_Brothers_discography check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/The_Avett_Brothers_discography?client=notify 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.)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Jessie's Girl, 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 17:23, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm FlightTime. Concerning your recent edit(s) to the page Jessie's Girl, only cover versions/renditions important enough to have gained attention in their own right should be added to song articles. Merely appearing in an album track listing, a discography, etc., is not sufficient to show that a cover version is noteworthy. Cover songs with only these types of sources should not be added to song articles, either as prose or in a list. Further information can be reviewed at WP:COVERSONG. If you still believe your edit should stand, please open a discussion on the article's talk page and seek consensus. Thank you. - FlightTime  ( open channel ) 17:25, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

American Dream Meadowlands
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edits to American Dream Meadowlands, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Star Wars, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   05:51, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BlueboyLINY. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to 2022 New York gubernatorial election seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.   BlueboyLINY (talk) 19:11, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Political endorsements
Thank you for your contributions to 2021 New York City mayoral election. However, going forward, when adding endorsements, please follow the guidelines, found at WP:POLEND, particularly regarding how to source endorsements properly. I am growing weary of having to do the extra work for you, but until now I've given the benefit of the doubt that you are making good-faith efforts to improve the article. Going forward, that will not be the case. Shoestringnomad (talk) 11:32, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to edit disruptively, as you did at 2021 New York City mayoral election, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. ''You've received several explicit requests and rebukes on this topic. What is it about the policy you don't understand? Shoestring just left you another note about this 3 days ago with the link. Further instances will be escalated. As you don't engage in any dialogue, it's difficult to tell if you are here to collaborate or only want to do your own thing.'' JesseRafe (talk) 18:17, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at 2021 New York City Council election. '' Your last warning. Per WP:ENDORSE, you can't cite individuals' endorsements to tweets. Can't. It's not fair to the others who have to double-check your faulty additions. The fact that you did it again just minutes after the last warning suggests you're WP:NOTHERE to contribute cooperatively.'' JesseRafe (talk) 18:40, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at 2021 New York City mayoral election. '' You have been warned once today about this same issue. You must review WP:ENDORSE before adding political endorsements to Wikipedia again'' Shoestringnomad (talk) 21:33, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

You've received more than enough warnings about your disruptive editing to 2021 New York City mayoral election. This your final warning. You must read WP:ENDORSE!! Shoestringnomad (talk) 21:47, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know, FEC filings are not considered reliable/acceptable sources for declaration of candidacy. Although I’m sure all those incumbent representatives will end up running, plenty of candidates file with the FEC for races and end up not running.

Hello, 02rufus02. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Toast".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

2026 California lieutenant gubernatorial election moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2026 California lieutenant gubernatorial election, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your edit on 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Maryland
Good morning! You mentioned in your edit on the 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Maryland page that there were other elections pages that use Primary School as a source for endorsements.
