February 2011
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary&#32;for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Biker Biker (talk) 14:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

April 2011
Yes, please provide an edit summary. I've reverted your unexplained deletions of multiple interwiki links from the Gloriosa page because I couldn't guess why they were deleted. Nadiatalent (talk) 11:38, 29 April 2011 (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) 14:04, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

The smile.jpg fact.
Hello! Since when I started using a PC "smile.jpg" intrigued me. So, I went to know this strange legend about how you can't write about smile.jpg in wikis or the page will be cancelled... Just asking: why did you delete the smile.jpg page and made it redirect to Internet phenomenas? I'd really like to know. Thanks for the attention paid.

Adding gender category to userbox templates
Hey, it's nice that you want to add categories to userboxes. I just think you need to look more carefully at the userboxes - you're adding a lot to the user gender category that don't belong. That category is for userboxes that say what gender a user is, not for anything related to gender, but you're adding things like Template:User WikiProject Women writers to it - a userbox for any user, regardless of gender, who contributes to that WikiProject. There's a lot of others where the name is vaguely women-related, and I'm now going to undo them all, so please stop and slow down. Kingsif (talk) 02:45, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Please don’t edit my page
Please do not edit my page without my permission. ESBirdnerd (talk) 18:06, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Editing my sandbox
Hi! I noticed you added a category to my sandbox. Please don’t do that, it’s just an edited version of an existing template, I was just checking if my modifications worked. If people want their pages categorized, they will do so, you do not need to add them yourself. -Tax Fraud! [she/they] (talk &#124; contrib.) 15:42, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
