 * Please make sure when you're adding external links that they provide a benefit to the article and do not duplicate content already present. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:36, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Again, please take more care in adding external links to articles. You seem to be rapidly adding links without considering what they contribute to the article. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:51, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Moxy 🍁 05:08, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Moxy. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Moxy 🍁 05:31, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Mary Pickford. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. Elizium23 (talk) 05:54, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

Per WP:FINDAGRAVE-EL FindAGrave can sometimes be used as an external link but only rarely:
 * Sometimes, a link is acceptable because of a specific, unique feature or information that is not available elsewhere, such as valuable images and location information of graves.

Also, FindAGrave is user-generated content and doesn't have editorial oversight. Shearonink (talk) 06:02, 13 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Plenty of people above tried to communicate with you about this issue. Why did you not respond? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:45, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Graham. Much appreciated. I’ll get better as time goes, I’m sure. Even this message, not sure about parenthesis but using the tilde. Cheers MartinBarry13 (talk) 17:47, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
 * For information, I did actually decline this request to block because the actions were not vandalism, as you may be aware. I believe you were a bit heavy-handed here, but I'm glad it has been resolved amicably &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:11, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you MartinMartinBarry13 (talk) 01:58, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

If you are interested in adding these links, I believe Wikidata would welcome your contributions. They have properties and  set up already. But whether to include them on articles in the English Wikipedia is an editorial decision which is governed by our policies, linked above. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC) Thanks for the infoMartinBarry13 (talk) 02:01, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Frank Santopadre, 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. Please see WP:BURDEN Waxworker (talk) 17:32, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
