Hello, I'm Dr.Pinsky. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Enesco—has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you. Dr.Pinsky (talk) 18:46, 21 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the correction. I understand. My apologies for any inconvenience. Correctthedots (talk) 18:55, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Soundwave (Transformers), you may be blocked from editing. ''Please stop adding inappropriate and unreliable sources. Read WP:RS and in particular WP:USERG.'' -- ferret (talk) 20:24, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. ... disco spinster   talk  15:56, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a reliable source
Please do not cite Wikipedia articles in references, thanks. Schazjmd  (talk)  21:00, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, please keep in mind the purpose of references: the reference helps the reader verify the information in the article. So when we add text, we cite the source (tell the reader where we got it) for that information in a reference. References aren't just to link to related websites. Consider your edit to Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine: the article says This game is the first original and commercial game created by Himalaya Studios, and you added a link to http://www.himalayastudios.com/index.php as a reference. That page doesn't provide any information to support that Al Emmo was their first original and commercial game. It's just a link to their website and is unhelpful because a reader going to that page to verify the information isn't going to find what they're looking for. If my explanation doesn't make sense or you have questions, please ask here or you can go to WP:TEAHOUSE for advice. Schazjmd   (talk)  21:13, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

 The Adventure

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Tyrande Whisperwind has been reverted. Your edit here to Tyrande Whisperwind was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline (see also this list of frequently-discussed sources). The reference(s) you added or changed (https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Malfurion_Stormrage) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:15, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Good morning! I was shocked when I read this message for being banned. My apologies for any inconvenience and not explaining the removal of some links. I was working on articles that were marked as advertising and I was checking the links that were added as citations. These articles were among the ones listed as "need improvement" and I was going one by one, trying to make them more neutral, by removing outdated and irrelevant links. There were numerous citations repeating on places that were irrelevant for that kind of content to be shared. Also, on the previous message I've read that I added unreliable sources and I do apologize for that as I may not checked good their background. I would like to participate in making Wikipedia a neutral and real place where people will learn and inform, as I am not trying purposely to do any harm, but not purposely "not-sharing" the reasons of the work done on the pages. Again, my apologies for any inconvenience. I will explain the changes in the future work. Have a good day! Correctthedots (talk) 10:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not just "unexplained", but that they are wrong edits (without adequate explanations). You are repeatedly taking reliable sources used for multiple statements and removing the references, leaving the statements unsourced. If you truly believe that the source doesn't support the statement, that's another thing, but it must be explained, otherwise it looks like you're just randomly shifting or removing sourcing around while adding in bad sources. -- ferret (talk) 15:38, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
