Horned sungem
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Horned sungem. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. — Smjg (talk) 15:28, 11 May 2024 (UTC)


 * When you can clearly see that I was removing the template intentionally and gave a reason for it, why drop pointless templates on my talk? AryKun (talk) 15:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The key word is "valid". The feeling of a single individual about whether said maintenance is needed is not a valid reason. — Smjg (talk) 15:46, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Maintenance templates are very much added when someone feels that the article needs them and removed when someone feels that it does not. If these two people happen to disagree, they discuss it on the talk page, not plaster Welcome to Wikipedia templates on each others talks. AryKun (talk) 16:33, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
