Adding non-notable names
Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted.

You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Grammar
Hey there. I see you've been changing some pronouns on articles to make them correct, such as here, but these changes are actually making the sentences grammatically incorrect. In cases where sentences have "[pronoun] and X", write the sentence with "and X" to determine what pronoun should be used. In Sean Penn's case, "[...]when they tried to photograph he in Nashville[...]" is incorrect, so it should be "him". Similarly for this edit, "[...]stated he support for Barack Obama" is incorrect, so "his" was fine CiphriusKane (talk) 04:59, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read the helpful message from CiphriusKane above. You are continuing to introduce grammatical errors to articles. For example, Ulrich's father kidnapped him is correct; your edit Ulrich's father kidnapped he is not. Please do not edit pronouns until you have a better grasp of the proper grammar.

 * I've also reverted a few of your grammatical changes that were not improvements. Also, please do not modify quotes in your attempts to correct the grammar; they should be left as is per the source. -- Kinu t/c 17:48, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Mary Poppins Returns. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. MichaelMaggs (talk) 21:55, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to List of people from Bakersfield, California. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. ''"Convicted of murderer" makes no sense. '' MichaelMaggs (talk) 22:00, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Please stop making minor grammar changes to articles. It's apparent that you don't have a strong enough understanding of English grammar and are making far too many errors when you attempt to correct articles.-- Ponyo bons mots 22:09, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Continued grammatical errors
Please do not make any further grammatical edits. The majority of the changes you are making introduce obvious grammatical errors, and need to be reverted. I am unsure whether English is not your first language and you are making these errors in good faith, or whether you are here to cause deliberate disruption, but in either case you need to stop immediately or risk being blocked from editing. There may be no more warnings. If you have queries, please engage with editors on this page. MichaelMaggs (talk) 22:12, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain namespaces ((Article)) for persistent introduction of poor grammar into articles. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page:. Kinu t/c 21:01, 9 May 2023 (UTC) Unfortunately, given your repeated use of poor grammar in articles and numerous messages asking you to stop, I believe that allowing you to continue to edit articles is a detriment to this project. You are welcome to request changes on talk pages and participate in other namespaces. -- Kinu t/c 21:05, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

I have been an English teacher for over 40yrs & you claim that I am wrong? Shame on you!!! MamaBull (talk) 02:24, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * We have no way of verifying your credentials, nor do they concern us. Also, I don't claim that you are wrong; rather, your grammar is wrong.
 * In this edit, [a] large aftershock occurred on July 29th, and did minor architectural damage, but raised fears that the flow of the Friant-Kern Canal that become dangerously altered, potentially flooding the city and surrounding areas is improper grammar.
 * In this edit, convicted of murderer makes no sense.
 * In this edit, Jack ... greets Mary Poppins and joins she and the children on a trip into the scene decorating the bowl is absolutely incorrect. If you really are an English teacher of over forty years, I would hope for your students' sake that you would know the difference between a subjective pronoun and an objective one.
 * In this edit, On May 22, 2012, another portion of Cooper's ashes were among those of 308 people included... is incorrect. The subject of the clause is "portion", not "ashes", so a singular verb is correct. Perhaps rewording the sentence would be better, but that's not the point here. -- <strong style="color:blue">Kinu <i style="color: red">t</i>/<i style="color:red">c</i> 05:25, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

These are simply a few recent examples of improper grammar that are clearly visible in your edit history and for which you have been warned previously. You are either trolling us or you are not capable of editing articles at a level of English that is necessary. I stand by this block from the Article namespace, and I have zero qualms or shame about it. -- <strong style="color:blue">Kinu <i style="color: red">t</i>/<i style="color:red">c</i> 05:25, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
