Hello, I'm Oshwah. An edit you recently made to Portal:Current events/2018 September 3 seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to 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. Thank you.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   17:27, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made a change to an article, BM-30 Smerch, 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. Adakiko (talk) 07:33, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Adakiko (talk) 07:38, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Such-change47. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 1977 Afghan Constitutional Assembly election, 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. MaxnaCarter (talk) 10:18, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Corsican Guard, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 10:35, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Recent edits
Hello – I've reverted some of your recent edits for a couple of reasons and wanted to explain why.

First, 7th Cavalry Regiment stands on its own as the cavalry regiment once headed by George Armstrong Custer. It's not necessary, and can cause problems sometimes, if you add extra characters, such as 'U.S.' to the beginning or end of these wikilinks. In a couple of your edits, you've made a redirect where there doesn't need to be one. In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. ;-)

Second, please do not change the dates in tags simply because you edited the article for a different reason, as you did, for example, at Black Kettle. Those dates are sometimes used by editors to prioritize maintenance fixes by the earliest dates, so when you change a 2021 date to a 2024 date, you can push a fix down the queue. That's not the case in this particular instance because the mdy tags are not maintenance tags, but it's not a good idea to get into the habit of doing it to any tag without addressing any underlying issue.

Third, circa is the preferred way to refer to some date ranges, but it's not necessary to go around replacing the simple abbreviation with the template. It's okay to do it, but it doesn't really help a lot. If you're interested in doing what we call WikiGnoming, there are lots of really helpful things you can do – just click here and scroll down to the 'Help Out' section.

Thanks very much for editing. I hope you decide to create an account and stick around. If you have questions, please let me know. :-) Katietalk 23:47, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
