Banned for years?
I've been banned for several years but can find no reason. Great. Anyone have an idea? Avocats (talk) 18:09, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Tory Burch has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. > RUL3R >trolling >vandalism  07:06, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I am really curious what motivated you to revert my recent edits to the Tory Burch page in toto without explanation.

I corrected numerous grammatical errors, sought to reorganize some material--moving career info to the Business heading, where the remainder was.

I removed duplicative material.

Rather than an instant revert, you could have gone change by change and explained your reasoning.

I see that you're not an administrator.

Sorry about it. I got a little lost on your edit and thought you actually removed other material. Cheers. =) > RUL3R >trolling >vandalism  07:44, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I reverted my own reversion, btw. > RUL3R >trolling >vandalism  07:45, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

What do the "trolling" and "vandalism" marks mean?
 * Attempts at humor to link to my talkpage (trolling) and my contributions (vandalism). Nothing else. =) > RUL3R >trolling >vandalism  07:51, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

GA reviews
Hi. If you disagree with the GA review of Tory Burch, please start with taking up the issues with a new section on the talk page. It is considered both rude and disruptive to edit an archive of a one-year-old GA review, since this is a reference to the article at the time, and the rationale for the pass or fail at the time. You are, however, free to claim that the article no longer meets the criteria, and can ask for a reassessment. The best thing is to simply take up the issues on the talk page or be bold and add references or otherwise appropriately edit the article. Thank you for your understanding, Arsenikk (talk)  14:10, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Robert H. Schuller, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you. Talk tome (Intelati) 01:10, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry but this edit looked like vandalism to me. :) Talk tome (Intelati) 01:55, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

A matter of perspective, it seems to me--what content warrants inclusion in an encyclopedia. "Wikipedia is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a web directory."

 * [[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 17:01, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jemima West, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Endeavour. 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.
