Hello, I'm Lazylaces. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Zootopia—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Jamie Muscato. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Philipnelson99 (talk) 03:42, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Edit warring
Your additions to the lede of Susan Sarandon have been repeatedly undone, by various editors for various reasons. When you get into an edit warring situation like this, it is best to step back and seek to form consensus on the talk page. Additionally, the material you are seeking to put in at the very least borders on edits that you are not allowed to do under the contentious topics limits described above. I highly recommend you step back from these edits, and that you review Edit warring, as you are at risk of being blocked if you continue down that path. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 15:50, 14 December 2023 (UTC)


 * @Hobbes090414, do not continue to edit material on the Arab–Israeli conflict, until you have at least 500 edits or you will find yourself the subject of a noticeboard discussion very fast. This is your final warning. TarnishedPathtalk 22:57, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Saira Rao, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 20:51, 20 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Only the headline of the Westworld article says Rao's quote refers to Israelis as "bloodthirsty genocidal ghouls". The article itself lists her correct quote from Threads: "Zionists are starting to panic that more and more of the world sees them for the bloodthirsty genocidal ghouls that they are." If anything, the article is not a reliable source, because Zionists and Israelis are not the same thing. Not all Zionists are Israelis or even Jewish (Joe Biden has described himself as a staunch Zionist). Hobbes090414 (talk) 21:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That's one instance; apparently there were four. Quoting from the article: "Speaking through a spokesperson, the agency says many people it works with support Palestine, but Rao’s words went too far. The CAA cites four specific posts that it says crossed the line into “anti-Semitism and hate speech.”" Mind you, our article now says, IMO correctly, that she was accused of making antisemitic remarks, not that the made them. You don't have to argue the difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism to me, or to invoke President Biden; it's about what the source says. If you think it's a weak source, you can take that up on the talk page--but if your argument is that the publication doesn't distinguish between anti-Zionism and antisemitism when it merely reports on the events, you'll have a hard time. I don't see any editorializing in that article; it's not an opinion piece; they're reporting the comments from both parties. Drmies (talk) 23:26, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BlueboyLINY. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Billie Joe Armstrong, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! BlueboyLINY (talk) 00:01, 4 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Ignore the above. As MOS:LEADCITE shows, you do not need to cite material in the lead when it is merely summarizing properly sourced material in the article body, which is all your edits did. I have restored your edits. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 03:16, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
