Please do not add or change content, as you did at Battle of Vukovar, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 19:28, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Sixth Bus (2022) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Sixth Bus (2022), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, I'm Robby.is.on. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kujtim Shala, 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. Thank you. Robby.is.on (talk) 10:20, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please don't wikilink years or add periods to captions if the caption is a sentence fragment.

Thank you. --John Pontifex (talk) 17:34, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Battle of Vukovar, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Please review Manual of Style/Captions for more information as well. Joy (talk) 12:40, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. ''Please do not wikilink years as you did here:. Note the guidance at WP:YEARLINK.''
