Matt Weston (skeleton racer)
There are a few issues with your recent attempt to publish an article about Matt Weston (skeleton racer). First of all, your talk page is not an appropriate place to draft articles, as this page needs to include the history of editors contacting you. A more appropriate place to start a draft would be either your sandbox or draftspace (i.e. Draft:Matt Weston (skeleton racer)). The second issue is that the article you created was a biography of a living person without any citations whatsoever. In keeping with our WP:BLP policy, we cannot accept such drafts. If you have reliable sources available, please write a new draft of the article with proper referencing. signed,Rosguill talk 20:14, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sk8er Boi, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 23:25, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Take On Me, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 22:08, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Don't remove UK ids
Thank you for adding/updating UK certs and sales, but when doing so, please do not remove the certification identifier, as you did here. Using IDs is better because people can access the certification directly instead of searching for it manually, which can take a lot of time if the keywords used produce a lot of results, especially if they happen to share the name of a record label. Furthermore, even if you add sales, we still need to verify the actual certification. Don't make it harder than it needs to be. ResPM (T&#x1F508;&#x1F3B5;C) 15:03, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello? Didn't you hear me? Please don't remove UK ids, as you did with this this edit. By removing the IDs, you're making readers and other editors search for the certification manually. Please don't do that, or I'll start reverting your otherwise constructive edits. ResPM (T&#x1F508;&#x1F3B5;C) 22:53, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Jamchip! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Muhandes (talk) 16:23, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Joseph2302. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kirsty Muir, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Adding medals to infoboxes without sources in the text violates WP:VERIFY Joseph2302 (talk) 09:00, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation links
Thanks for your edits to Great Britain at the Olympics but you added lots of links to disambiguation pages where there is more than one person of that name. I think I have fixed them all but to help with this in the future, you can go to your preferences (drop down menu top right) & choose the "Gadgets" tab. Scroll down to the "Appearance" section and tick next to "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange". This will highlight links to dab pages in future.&mdash; Rod talk 18:19, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for this advice, I found this useful. A message pops up now and then to let me know so I can make the link to the person not ambiguous. Jamchip (talk) 19:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
