Hello, I'm Abelmoschus Esculentus. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Jemima Goldsmith, 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. Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 09:16, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Home Lander. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Frankie Goes to Hollywood because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Home Lander (talk) 15:16, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you please expand — why it is inappropriate for an encyclopedia? I have read "Links normally to be avoided" and have not found anything suitable for the case. And by the way, why did you undo the change so swiftly, within seconds? —2dk (talk) 15:25, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * , links to Youtube videos generally shouldn't be linked right in the middle of articles. Look at an article from Category:YouTube videos for example, and you'll see that they're linked in the external links section at the bottom. Also, I reverted your edit with WP:HUGGLE; that's why it was so quick. Home Lander (talk) 15:30, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Could you please help me move the link to the appropriate section of the article. Should it be something like *– Video title, that's all? —2dk (talk) 15:35, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * And how do I link to it correctly "right in the middle of the article", where it is mentioned? — 2dk (talk) 15:39, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * You can give a link to a youtube video at the end of the article, in the "External links" section, as already mentioned. Alternatively, in the body of the article, you might cite it as a reference/citation like this: . But you can't 'feature' it. Hope that helps. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:21, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for recent edits on Bettelheim article.
Hi,

Thank you for your recent pair of excellent edits of our Bruno Bettelheim article, especially this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bruno_Bettelheim&diff=next&oldid=883315680

I've worked on this article off and on, have easily read ten refernces, probably more. And I don't recall a single, solitary mention of any dissertation on Immanuel Kant. So, I went ahead and removed this part.

If the topic interests you and you have the time, please, by all means, feel free to jump in and make future edits. And again, thank you for a good catch. :~) FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 01:45, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Tony Curran. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:40, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
 * @NinjaRobotPirate Please see references at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q711054 — and feel free to contest them, if you think IMDB and Filmportal are bad sources. What you do is, AFAICS, abusing BLPRS rules, which concern controversial or contentious material and not basic biographical data about a living person. Therefore those are not subject to immediate deletion. Won't you find a regular way to contest or challenge information you believe is unreferenced? I'd propose to transfer further discussion to Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. — 2dk (talk) 20:23, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Please stop
Please stop adding sloppy infoboxes to articles. Your demographic sources don't work, none of the other data is sourced, and the infoboxes have sytax errors. Please fix them or revert them, but stop adding new ones until you figure out how to do it. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:26, 25 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Wow, that's rude... They are not sloppier than every other in the same category (Category:Towns_in_Oswego_County,_New_York). I only noticed that four out of 22 towns were missing infoboxes. Don't admonish me, I copied the very same template from Albion, Oswego County, New York (and cannot comprehend why it is sloppy). I transferred all available data from the body of the articles and googled for ZIP and FIPS codes and town websites. The sources concerning area and population are not "mine", they are the same ( and ) for every other town in NY. (What is wrong?!) I'm sorry if there are some syntax errors, I can't see any. If you do, please feel free to correct them. 2dk (talk) 19:41, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
