Disambiguation link notification for January 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sabo Romo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bass. 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.)

A with ogonek (Cyrillic) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, A with ogonek (Cyrillic), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

January 2023
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into A with ogonek (Cyrillic). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 05:33, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Edits, Chris White (saxophonist) display name in wiki links
Hi, I redid the appearance of the Chris White wiki page link to just display his name (and obviously still go to his correct page!), so that the name display is more consistent with other wiki pages his page link is on. He variously shows up on wiki as "Chris White (saxophonist)", being his actual page name, & as "Chris White", with both linking to the correct page, but with his name more commonly just displayed as "Chris White", which is also commonly the case with such display names in articles with other musicians' names that link to their wiki pages, even if several different people in the same field have the same name. None of these links go to the generic "Chris White" page (the wiki page that explains that there are several different Chris Whites). Just wanted to clarify my edits. Whilst both name displays are of course correct, as a professional musician myself, I just tend to be particular in my opinion of how details are written, & I like consistency...but I also fully accept that others will see & do things like this particular type of edit differently, too. Cheers. MusicNinja1 (talk) 10:49, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
