Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Udham Singh. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @  13:26, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm John of Reading. An edit that you recently made to Help:Creation and usage of media files seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Proposed deletion of Tanu Khan


The article Tanu Khan has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. JamesG5 (talk) 10:56, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in 1995 Davis Cup Americas Zone Group I. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please stop adding terrible short descriptions by simply copying (most of) the lead and have a look at WP:SHORTDESC before adding any further short descriptions, thank you! Felida97 (talk) 15:10, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * @Felida97 as far as I know I'm not going against any Manual of Style please check and then blame me for the same, I've written a short description according to the MOS and there is nothing unusual about it Thanks! ਗੁਰਬੀਰ ਸਿੰਘ 05:46, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Have you even looked at WP:SHORTDESC (fine, technically not MoS, but endorsed and followed in a similar way)? The style of your short descriptions (e.g.,, , , , , or ), for which you just copy-pasted (large parts) of the lead, is contrary to multiple aspects of WP:SDCONTENT and WP:SDFORMAT and most certainly unusual. Please just go through WP:SHORTDESC from top to bottom (incl. WP:SDEXAMPLES, WP:SDDUPLICATE, etc.). Your short descriptions have gotten better since the warnings it seems, but don't pretend like the warnings were unwarranted... Felida97 (talk) 11:55, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Though I should say they have only gotten slightly better as there are still issues, primarily with capitalization (e.g.,, , , , and many others) and title redundancy (e.g., , , or ); short description like  are also subpar. Please just look at the guidance at WP:SHORTDESC, particularly WP:HOWTOSD, and improve your short descriptions, thank you. Felida97  (talk) 12:22, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at 2013 European Masters (curling), you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Felida97 (talk) 15:13, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at 2013 European Masters (curling). ''While I appreciate that you're going though your past edits and are trying to fix your mistakes, you seem to have issues with English capitalization, leading to insufficient fixes (or misguided, repeated, wrong attempts like for the mentioned article). As a general rule for short descriptions: only capitalize the first letter, proper names, and acronyms (i.e. use sentence case) (see MOS:CAPS).'' Felida97 (talk) 11:51, 7 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I’m here to endorse this. Felida97 has given you more than enough explanation of the problems and you are making the same errors. Competence is required: this has become disruptive and you need to stop working on short descriptions. Innisfree987 (talk) 12:27, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Though already mentioned above, another mistake you keep repeating (e.g.,, or ; all instances where you went back to make the same misguided changes): there are pages for which "none" is the appropriate short descriptions (see WP:SDNONE; i.e., when the article title is sufficiently detailed and any short description would only duplicate its content without adding any information necessary for the intended purposes). While you can be bold with your edits, I would advise you to just leave those short descriptions alone, as likely a much more experienced editor changed it to "none" (since new editors generally are not aware of this option).

WP:SDNONE
Please do not add short descriptions of "Wikipedia list article" or "Wikimedia list article", even if suggested to. Please follow WP:SDNONE, and use the "none" short description. ~ <b style="color: #00733f">Eejit43</b> ( talk ) 14:24, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Adding images is not a minor edit
You have repeatedly added images to articles lately, marking your changes as "minor". Please note that adding content is NOT considered a minor edit as per WP:MINOR – the checkbox should not be checked in these cases. Please read the definition and how to use the minor edit checkbox at the given link. Robert Kerber (talk) 18:14, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Please do not introduce what appear to be incorrect and not properly sourced information into articles, as you did by providing an unrelated image to Robin N. Hamilton. Your edit could be interpreted as vandalism and has been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite appropriate sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. Vandalism can lead to being blocked from editing. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 20:09, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Quaerens-veritatem The above said picture was suggested by Wikipedia so the balme should be on Wikipedia? Why should I suffer when the culprit is the same that you are defending? Anyhow I'll not repeat this mistake,,Regards! Gillgurbir89 (talk) 03:12, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello Gillgurbir89. Wikipedia doesn’t ever make suggestions as to particular information or images to add to a particular article and, even if it did, clearly the unsourced image of a white man unconnected to the article did not belong in an article about a Black woman. You, of course, should check every edit you make before posting it, and leave an edit summary so we can tell the basis for each edit. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and regards, Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 03:35, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
