February 2019
Hello, I'm K6ka. I noticed that you recently removed content from Sputnik 1 without adequately 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; the removed content has been restored. 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. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 02:53, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Sputnik 1, 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 the sandbox for that. Thank you. --- Coffee  and crumbs  02:59, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Hera, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. --- Coffee  and crumbs  03:03, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Sweden during World War II. — k6ka  🍁 ( Talk ·  Contributions ) 03:08, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Lots of warnings
Hi, I'm unsure how to deal with this. I'll add another information message below; please take the time to read the messages written here on your talk page, before continuing to edit. Thank you very much in advance. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 04:17, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Unsourced content
Hello, I'm ToBeFree. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Berlin, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 04:18, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Editorializing
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Berlin, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. The specific section that is relevant here is WP:EDITORIAL. Also see: Neutral point of view -- thank you very much in advance. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 04:19, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

City population
Regarding, for example, the Paris article: The number of people who live in a city depends on the definition of "population". If the current value were incorrect, it would need to be corrected in the infobox, not by creating a new section with unsourced contradictory information. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 04:28, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Links
Hi Erich von Manstien, I noticed you have been making a large number of changes to wikilinks in various articles. Many of the changes don't follow Wikipedia's guidelines and manual of style, and have been reverted. For example, generally a link should appear only once in an article, WP:REDLINKS should not be created for phrases for which there is no clear indication of notability such that an article should exist, etc. Please familiarize yourself with MOS:LINKS and other relevant guidelines, before making further changes to links, thanks. --IamNotU (talk) 11:40, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
