Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Workers' Party (Singapore), did not appear constructive and has been reverted. 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.

Hey Gandalfett- I see you have been involved in some reverts both with myself and the user Ythlev. Let me know if there's some way we can find the right answers. Geographyinitiative (talk) 04:14, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Revert on Chinese Singaporeans
Hi Gandalfett,

I've noticed you reverted my edit on Chinese Singaporeans without leaving a reason. The reason for the edit was Chinese Singaporeans usually refer to themselves as 华人, rather than 华裔. If you have any disagreements, please start a section on the talk page of the article. Thank you.

December 2021
I notice per this ANI discussion that you have been removing a talkpage comment without even leaving an edit summary here, and removing text + reverting users at Chinese Singaporeans,. None of these removals seem constructive, and, worse, most of them are completely unexplained. And, while this one has an edit summary ("Not useful information and may arise wrong implications"), it's not a good explanation. Useful to who? What implications? You might as well have written "I don't like it". Please don't remove talkpage posts, or article text, without good explanations in the form of either edit summaries or talkpage posts. This is your only warning. Bishonen &#124; tålk 20:28, 10 December 2021 (UTC).


 * More like a threat than a warning. Gandalfett (talk) 09:54, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It's your only threat, then. You are welcome to take part in the ANI discussion if you wish. Bishonen &#124; tålk 16:22, 13 December 2021 (UTC).
 * Thank you for your invitation. Also, I do not appreciate your threat and will not be intimidated by it. Gandalfett (talk) 15:34, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Page block
I see you have returned to Chinese Singaporeans and removed this well-sourced text with no explanation. Such removals should always be explained, either in an edit summary or (preferably) on the talkpage. You have been blocked from the article Chinese Singaporeans for one week. Note that you can still edit the talkpage. I would recommend you to start a discussion there, and try to gain consensus for your preferred version. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Czechia
You can find several years worth of discussions about renaming the Czech Republic article at Talk:Czech Republic and its archives. Thus far, consensus has been not to change it, and the body of the article follows suit, treating that as the primary name. Largoplazo (talk) 01:56, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Please join the discussion at Dutch people
You reverted me and another user several times at Dutch people without taking part in the talk page discussion that I started more than a month ago at your request. To avoid continuation of an edit war, please take part in that discussion. Thank you, Rsk6400 (talk) 06:28, 10 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I have replied to you in that discussion. My apologies for the late reply. Gandalfett (talk) 10:39, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Darwin Núñez, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Content not supported by source. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:10, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Football infobox timestamp
Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I just wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions were not quite right. When updating statistics within the infobox of a footballer, please make sure you update the timestamp at the same time, so that both readers and fellow editors know when the information was last updated.

You can do this by replacing the existing timestamp within the club-update or pcupdate parameter for club stats, or the nationalteam-update or ntupdate parameter for international stats. For articles that use a DMY date format, use five tildes, or for MDY dates, use mdytime. This will generate the specific time the update was made.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:24, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
