The link to added to support that the As I Lay Dying sold out in minutes is meaningless
First, it's a WP:PRIMARY source. Second, it shows that there are no tickets now, but now changes over time. Eventually, the link will no longer be around. Third, there's no indication how many seats SOMA - Sidestage actually had. It could be that there were ten seats or ten thousand. This is why a secondary source should be used, particularly one that does an in-depth analysis of what the event is actually about. Also, not all verifiable events are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:16, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

your edits keep getting worse
The first one in the recent batch just had a bare URL. The next one had the same bare URL, but added incorrect date formatting. The third added a link to a disambiguation page. What's next? Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:55, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Don't presume that you're making fixes
MOS:DASH states I don't know which you were aiming for but 1) there was no existing typo, and 2) you weren't fixing anything. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:07, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * An em dash is always (that is, without a space on either side):
 * An en dash is (that is, with a space on each side) when used as sentence punctuation:  Ideally, use a non-breaking space before the en dash, which prevents the en dash from occurring at the beginning of a line (markup: the  or  templates, or the HTML character entity  ):  But do not insert a non-breaking or other space where the en dash should be unspaced.

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 calculation 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. RonBot (talk) 17:19, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding your edits 12, be aware that self-published sources such as Twitter, per WP:RSPTWITTER, and Facebook 3, per WP:RSPFACEBOOK, are considered unreliable and of terrible quality on Wikipedia (an encyclopedia). Continuing to add more is inexcusable. You will find a list of reliable and perennial sources here and here. To create citations, parameters are: cite web |last= |first= |date= |title= |url= |work= |location= |access-date= Thanks. --Oroborvs (talk) 23:17, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Dr. Acula (album) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Dr. Acula (album), 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. – robertsky (talk) 07:06, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
