IMDb as a source
I noticed that you recently used IMDB as a source for information in a biography article. Please note that per long-standing consensus, IMDb does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. You can read more about the reasons for this here, here and here.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:45, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=2oczE7SODTUnF5j_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_8CjkOu5mDlYhgZT&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 15:20, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

March 2018
Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Papua New Guinea, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source 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. Thanks.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   08:04, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of one-hit wonders in the United States, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 09:06, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Line-initial asterisks
A line-initial asterisk marks an item in a bulleted list. To prevent that, place  before the asterisk. See respectively. YBG (talk) 23:48, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

988 suicide prevention hotline
The latest edit to List of North American Numbering Plan area codes was by an IP and it needs a source. Not to mention an article and links from various articles. I don't search online at home but I can early next week.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  19:50, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

R. Dean Taylor
Hello Geroguy - I noticed your addition of R.Dean Taylor to the Notable alumni of Pickering College. Thank you for that, but please note that additions like that should include a reference. Fortunately, The Pillars is available online so I found the page that you referred to in your edit comment and I've added the reference accordingly. Cheers,  PK T (alk)  12:21, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
