ISBN
Hi, when you add an ISBN, please don't suffix it with "-13" nor add a colon. Both of these prevent the MediaWiki software from recognising it as a valid ISBN, so won't make it into a clickable link. Compare this: ISBN-13: 978-0901115874 with this: ISBN 978-0901115874 -- Red rose64 (talk) 12:05, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Song Dynasty, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Longshan (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 have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Doug Weller talk 10:26, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to European colonization of the Americas‎, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.
