Your recent edits
Hello. I wanted to explain why I reverted one of your edits. In, you labeled a film as a "box office success". Please don't add your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. It doesn't matter how obvious you think it is; we are forbidden from adding our own opinions. This would have to be quoted from a reliable source, and, even then, Wikipedia generally doesn't phrase things so non-neutrally. It is not really Wikipedia's job to label whether something was a success or failure. Instead, we discuss the lasting effects, if any, and present the situation without editorializing (for example, "it grossed $1 million", not "it was a financial failure and only grossed $1 million").

stigmatisation of suicide
Ive noticed that you made three recent edits changing commonly used vernacular to describe the act of suicide to make them more passive. Do you believe that using the more active description assigns blame? Morbidthoughts (talk) 00:59, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Stigmatization of Suicide
Yes I do. I believe saying committed suicide assigns blame to the person and makes the family feel worse about what happened. calverthall 01:38, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
