Disambiguation link notification for April 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited King, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Texcoco. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello GhostlyOperative! Your additions to Samurai have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted.  All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page.

Personal attacks and accusations
Hello, kindly refrain from making personal attacks, threats, and accusations in my talk page and in the edit summaries. The talk page consensus in Generation Z was reached unanimously by the users who regularly edit the page and this is evidenced by their actions: and. Changes were agreed upon after years of edit warring between various users. A source should only be added if it provides significant and any changes to the date range section should only be made if there is a consensus on the talk page. By the way, a user previously reported me three times in the Administrators' noticeboard: First time, Second time, and Third time. In fact none of the Wikipedia administrators found my conduct troublesome and User:Zillennial is the one who got blocked twice as displayed in his account block log first in 2020 and then again in 2021. This user was blocked for disruptive editing, edit warring, ownership, and personal attacks in Generation Z specifically in relation to the date range in the lead paragraph and section. Kindly note that if you have legitimate concerns regarding my editing behaviour and evidence to substantiate your claims then surely the Wikipedia administrators in the Administrators' noticeboard can help you. I am also certain that Wikipedia administrators are able to help you with any concerns regarding Generation Z and its established talk page consensus. Thank you. Best regards.

Editing while logged out
Hi - I'm Girth Summit, an administrator and checkuser here. I've noticed that you seem to have a habit of editing pages while logged out - indeed, sometimes you edit a page under your account, and then immediately continue editing it while logged out. You are not obliged to log into your account to edit, but WP:LOUTSOCK outlines situations where it is problematic. Editing pages as an IP that you also regularly edit under your account is an issue, and editing the talk pages of users you are in dispute with while you are logged out is absolutely not on - that needs to stop, immediately. Please confirm that you have understood this. Thanks Girth Summit  (blether)  16:26, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Liz. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to User talk:Wikiboo02. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:32, 21 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, GhostlyOperative,
 * Please stop harrassing this editor on their user talk page. There is no need to badger them with messages. If you have a comment about a specific article, please use the article talk page. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:33, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

 * I warned you in May about the issue of editing articles while logged out which you also edit through your account; I see you have continued doing that, and you have created another account to edit these same articles, without disclosing the connection anywhere. Since you did not respond to my previous message in any way, I see no alternative to an indefinite block. Girth Summit  (blether)  12:44, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
