Hello, I'm Biker Biker. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Valentino Rossi, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I've removed it for now, but if you'd like to include a citation 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. Thank you. ''Please provide citations for additions such as these. '' Biker Biker (talk) 18:15, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Valentino Rossi, without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:36, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Valentino Rossi, you may be blocked from editing. ''You don't seem to want to give up on this do you? Why should it matter that Rossi is the most common surname in Italy? This is an article about a motorcycle racer and as such should stick to the facts about his racing.'' Biker Biker (talk) 20:19, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Abacos. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Abacos~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 21:32, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:50, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dragonlance, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Dragonstrike and Dragons of Flame ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Dragonlance check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Dragonlance?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

 * Thank you for the information. I fixed that straight away. I also had to adjust the links to "Silver Box" and "War of the Lance", that pointed to the wrong pages. ---Abacos (talk) 12:49, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of Dragonlance novels, chronological by author


The article List of Dragonlance novels, chronological by author has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Content exists at List of Dragonlance novels, seems to be completely unnecessary."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for May 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dragonlance, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page DragonStrike. 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.)
