Hello, I'm Linguist111. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Germany's Next Topmodel has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Linguist111 (talk) 22:18, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

1. Andrea and Anne were not eliminated at the same time, true. But the call-out order is random so the fact they were eliminated separately does not mean Anne placed higher than Andrea. The table has to reflect the contestants' placements: Andrea and Anne placed joint 11th/12th. 2. I put nowrap tags around some names to prevent line breaks. 3. According to the ref I provided, her last name is "Wende". If this is wrong, please provide a reliable source that states otherwise. Linguist111 (talk) 10:07, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Germany's Next Topmodel. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed. Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Linguist111 (talk) 10:12, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

The table does need to reflect placements. The nowrap tags are to prevent line breaks in surnames (for girls who have more than one surname) and first names (for girls who have more than one name e.g. Michelle-Luise, Kim Laura). Linguist111 (talk) 10:20, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

The nowrap tags are to prevent line breaks in names, such as Valerie-Charlotte, Kim Laura and Michelle-Luise. With no nowrap tags in place, Michelle-Luise looked like this: Michelle-

Luise, along with other names. Linguist111 (talk) 10:32, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

P.S. The removal of only one nowrap tag can cause one or more further line breaks, due to the change in width of the column. Linguist111 (talk) 10:34, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

One thing I forgot to add is that the line breaks in the article seen on my computer are different from those seen on my iPad. On the iPad, there are more line breaks. I tried to put the right amount of nowrap tags in so that there were no unnecessary breaks on both computer and iPad. As for reducing the names, I'm not sure about that because they each went by both names (in the opening, e.g. here http://i.imgur.com/AESJ0Wf.png etc.) Linguist111 (talk) 10:48, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I'll do that. Linguist111 (talk) 11:01, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

America's Next Top Model
According to the sources that I provided, Renee Alway was known as Renee DeWitt on the show. Please do not remove cited content. Linguist111 (talk) 17:43, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Those articles were written well after cycle 8; true, she now goes by the name "Renee Alway" and not "Renee DeWitt", and did at the time the articles were written. Wikipedia's cycle 8 article would not be reliable enough without sources. One of the sources I provided, saying her name was Renee DeWitt, was written after the cycle finished filming and before it started airing, and the other article said she was known as Renee DeWitt on the show.

What Wikipedia says is irrelevant, unless the info was sourced.

What do you mean by "concentrated"? As for Top Model Poland 5's article being deleted, most likely the person who nominated it for deletion deemed the article to not meet notability guidelines, and the editors who contributed to the deletion discussion agreed. I'm not exactly sure about it either, though. Linguist111 (talk) 19:23, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

There aren't any nowrap tags around the start dates. I can change Renee's name on cycle 8's article. If you want, you can watch cycle 5 and the other cycles here: http://serialnet.pl/serial/3-54/top-model-zostan-modelka Linguist111 (talk) 19:56, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Laura Penelope
Okay. I didn't revert the edit, I just corrected the comment's spelling and translation. I watched the clip, but I can't tell what was being said, whether Laura said she wanted to go home, or simply said she didn't want her makeover and they kicked her out for that. Are you a native German speaker? Do you understand what they were saying? Linguist111 (talk) 09:25, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Linguist 111 talk 21:52, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Top Model po-russki, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Linguist 111 talk 21:57, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia. Linguist 111 talk 22:01, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

I didn't "threaten" to block you. I was just warning you that removing content like you did without explaining why in the edit summary is against the rules, and that you may be blocked if you continue. I'm not an admin, so I don't have the power to block you.

There is nothing wrong with having the flags there. Those are multinational competitions/cycles, and so it is okay to have the flags there, to show which country the winners and runners-up represented. Linguist 111 talk 22:14, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

I still don't see anything wrong with having them there. If anything, it's better to have them there as it makes the article more informative and consistent with the format of the contestants tables in the individual articles. Linguist 111 talk 22:31, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

GNTM
Okay, I've removed the & sign between Christin and Yusra's names and put a comma. I'm not sure about removing the rest of the & signs at the moment, so I'll leave them there, but I'll take what you've said into consideration.

Flags
I don't see the point in adding an extra column to the table. The more columns those tables have, the more cluttered they look, and I don't think it's necessary to add another column for the countries when the information about the countries represented is already there with the flags. I also think it's fine for the runners-up to have the flags as they have their own individual column; ideally we could have flags there for every contestant, but that would clutter the table, plus, in general, most tables that I've seen that include symbols such as flags or gender signs have them for the winners and runners-up (and second runners-up if they have their own individual column), but not for the rest of the contestants.

One last thing: please remember to sign your messages when you write on talk pages. To do this, type this symbol 4 times: ~

Linguist 111 talk 11:23, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

GNTM
In some cases, perhaps, but the style of call-out order on GNTM is said to just be random and not reflective of placement. Linguist 111 talk 11:37, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Greetings. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Germany's Next Topmodel (cycle 11), did not appear to be constructive and has been or will be reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. The names Lara-Kristin, Laura Franziska and Laura Penelope take up far too much space on the table. If Laura F. makes it all the way, the table will be far too wide. I have condensed the names to Lara-K., Laura F. and Laura P. to reduce the amount of space taken up. Linguist 111 talk 17:10, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Britain's Next Top Model, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Julia Wulf
If a contestant has to drop out of the competition due to illness, it's generally classified as quitting. I wouldn't call it a disqualification, because she didn't break the rules of the competition. In future, if you have any questions about an article, please post about it on the article's talk page and not on my page, unless it involves me, in which case you can also post on my page. But thank you, nonetheless. Linguist 111 talk 20:27, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Expansion of summary tables in Top Model articles
I notice that you have been expanding the summary tables in some Top Model articles (seen e.g. here), and these edits are being challenged by other editors. Since your edits are being challenged, I recommended that you post about it on Top Model's talk page and try to reach consensus with the other editors. In my opinion, the "No unsourced spoilers please" tag is unnecessary; I only added it to the Asia's Next Top Model articles because of the amount of unsourced spoilers people kept adding. Linguist 111 talk 12:36, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Okay, but I still recommend you post on Top Model's talk page and try and reach a consensus with the editors who are challenging your edits to the tables. Linguist 111 talk 14:46, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

I think it's best that you post on Top Model's talk page, rather than cross-post on the individual talk pages of each article. Also, it's best to refrain from making the edits to the tables until consensus with other editors is reached. For more information, see Wikipedia's policies on edit warring and consensus. Linguist 111 talk 15:23, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Germany's Next Topmodel, you may be blocked from editing. Linguist 111 talk 15:48, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

On GNTM, the call-out order generally does not reflect each contestant's performance. There is no evidence that the actual order in which the contestants are eliminated in each individual elimination does not reflect their placements, so there is no difference between contestants eliminated in this way and contestants eliminated at the exact same time (e.g. Rebecca and Tiffany from America's Next Top Model 4. If you look at e.g. ANTM's series overview, contestants eliminated simultaneously are listed in reverse alphabetical order (Tiffany & Rebecca, Jennifer & Erin, Angelea & Alexandra etc.), so the GNTM contestants eliminated in the same eliminations should be too. We don't have to be completely literal. Linguist 111 talk 16:12, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

If the series overviews were not meant to reflect placement, have them there would be pointless. Listing the literal order, unless it is reflective of placement, serves no purpose. Again, we don't have to be so literal about it.

If you persist with your disruptive editing, these warnings will also persist, and I will be taking this to the administrators' noticeboard. This is a waste of my time and unhelpful to the encyclopedia. I recommend you read Wikipedia's rules on disruptive editing, edit warring and consensus. Linguist 111 talk 16:35, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

GNTM
We've discussed this several times, and you continue to repeat your initial argument. I have found no sources that support your claim. Unless you can back up your claims with reliable sources, it's original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. The warnings I have given you have been quite minimal, considering your extensive history of disruptive editing, such as repeatedly edit warring on multiple pages. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, you will be reported to the administrators' noticeboard. Also, please refrain from disrupting my talk page. When you want to leave me a new message, please add it underneath the previous messages. To do this, you can click on the link saying "Compose new message". Thank you.

March 2017
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Germany's Next Topmodel. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Linguist talk&#124; contribs 23:00, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Vietnam's Next Top Model, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted.

Ty - Topmodel moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ty - Topmodel, 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.

Stop reverting.
Stop reverting the edits to contestants' names in Indonesia's Next Top Model page. If there's something wrong with putting their full names in the cycles section, explain it on the talk page, don't just revert carelessly.  Winter Fanboy🌹 TALK 04:02, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm not talking about the flags, I'm talking about you reverting the contestants' full name. As far as I'm concerned, there's no policy to justify your reverts. I suggest you stop reverting.

Additionally, there's no official destinations to this cycle yet, so stop adding one.  Winter Fanboy🌹 TALK 04:28, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Then why did you remove middle names? For example, you reverted "Sarah Gabriella Tumiwa" to "Sarah Tumiwa", yet you added Peace's long african last name. You also wrote "Indira Indirasvari Kristensen" instead of "Indira Kristensen", which doesn't make sense. Like I said, there's no policy to justify your revert, you just made up these "rules" on your own.

I'll respect your edits if you respect mine, which means, leave the middle names alone.  Winter Fanboy🌹 TALK 04:44, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

You clearly are in way over your head. Since when INTM use contestants' middle names in the show? They're only using the first names and everybody knows it. Don't sprout nonsense. Also, Indira's first name is Natalie not Indira. The name "Indira" came from her middle name "Indirasvari". Hence, putting "Indira Indirasvari" is incorrect because you're REPEATING her middle name. Yes, you made all these nonsense "rules" yourself, don't fool yourself that you're following "a rules that everybody use". It's clear you don't know how to listen to other people's input, even when that other person has listened to yours.  Winter Fanboy🌹 TALK 06:10, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Here's a video where she specifically clarified that her birth name is not Helen Hiu Lam but only Helen Hiu (at around 2:08 mark):. I don't know if you understand Indonesian or not (she speaks Indonesian here), but regardless, you can hear her saying her real name there.

Thanks for not reverting my edit senselessly for once. Good day.  Winter Fanboy🌹 TALK 21:55, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Stop reverting my edits
Your reverts are unconstructive and unreasonable. Stop acting like you own top model pages. Wikipedia doesn't belong to you.  Winter Fanboy🌹 TALK 07:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

September 2022
Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Brazil's Next Top Model (season 2). As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. ''The date format you need to use is and  per Template:Infobox television. The dates were formatted correctly, and you undid them to an MOS:DATE format. Please do not do that as the infobox parameters have clear guidelines as to how the date is to be formatted. Additionally, the remainder of the edit was changes that were reverted previously. You need to support those edits via the article's talk page.''   Butler Blog   (talk) 18:59, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

America's Next Top Model (season 3)
Your recent editing history at America's Next Top Model (season 3) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Greece's Next Top Model (season 7) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Greece's Next Top Model (season 7), 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.

Updating comment on talk page
When you do this kind of thing, you probably should re-sign the comment (i.e., replace your username and date with " ~ " prior to saving), so it's clear to readers when the info was last changed. (As things stand right now, it looks like you left info about episodes 9–14 back on April 6th. :) - dcljr (talk) 01:38, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Top Model (Polish season 12)
Hi there,

I noticed you are undoing revision from an anonymous user, with reference to a contestant's name.

I would suggest leaving a note on your changes as to why. Also, it appears TVN has the correct names of all contestants, and as such I would suggest this is representative of all as being correct and true. KingdomNone91 (talk) 23:29, 12 November 2023 (UTC)


 * hi, Tadeusz name is Tadeusz Mareczek-Mikolajczak. TVN is not using his double family name. On Tadeuszs Facebook was seen his complete name and I think that Tadeusz himself will know it better, what his name is. Sadly he deleted his Facebook for some days. I also left a notice about that, but someone deleted it. 84.171.13.77 (talk) 23:37, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think Facebook is an appropriate source material to reference, as it's quite personal. However, News articles, the TVN website itself or sources etc is suffice. If he himself can verify that according to WP:BLP and WP:V, then absolutely, but for now the TVN webpage and news articles stating just Tadeusz Mikolajczak should be used until further verification can be sourced. KingdomNone91 (talk) 00:46, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * I kinda think that Tadeusz himself is the best source material.
 * And if it's about the fact that we use only TV websites or more, than we would have a lot of false inoformations for a loot of constetants in a lot next topmodel franchises. I mean for example Lou-Anne from GNTM is going by Lou-Anne Gleissenebner everywhere in the internet, but here on wiki her real name is also written with her double family name.
