Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Achtung Baby, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.
 * Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
 * ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, [ report it here], remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
 * If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place " " on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
 * The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Achtung Baby was changed by Dave Lars (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.971174 on 2012-05-04T10:02:37+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 10:02, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Die Hard with a Vengeance, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 20:03, 15 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Additionally, you have made uncited and generally non-constructive edits to several articles today, which multiple editors have reverted. Please review the policies at WP:VERIFY, WP:NPOV and WP:CONSENSUS before continuing to edit. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:17, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Album infobox
Hi! Please don't remove Template:Duration from the Length parameter in album infoboxes. If you wish to change the length of an album, simply change the numbers given in the template. Additionally, per Template:Infobox album, we only show the length of the original/standard release of an album, and do not show any other lengths. I have fixed your changes at Watershed (Opeth album). Other than that, thanks for your contributions! MrMoustacheMM (talk) 17:11, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Impermanent Resonance, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jason Miller (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm ChamithN. I noticed that you recently removed some content from The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. 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!

Gotham (TV series)
Please be aware that you are able to update files that still relate to the original, instead of uploading to brand new filenames, as per File:GothamIntertitle.png and File:Gotham-title-card-season-2.png. The latter could have easily been uploaded to the former file, as it is still the intertitle for the series, instead of becoming a brand new file. Thank you.

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.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to The Astonishing, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:GoT season 6 official poster.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:GoT season 6 official poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:43, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

File:Juggernaut Omega cover.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.
