Hello, I'm The Banner. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Timeline of Irish inventions and discoveries have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. The Banner talk 00:17, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm The Banner. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, John Howard Kyan, 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. On multiple pages, in fact  The Banner  talk 07:33, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Timeline of Irish inventions and discoveries. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. The Banner talk 23:24, 16 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Please provide an explanation as to how my edits are unconstructive and constitute vandalism. Thank you. Michaelsexton2003 (talk) 23:30, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * You are chopping away large parts of articles. Or in the last case: adding a lot of info to a redirected page, effectively hijacking it. The Banner  talk 19:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I only chop away unnecessary or false parts of articles. The redirected page that I recently edited was empty and didn’t affect the other page. Stop vandalising Wikipedia, otherwise I will have to report you. Michaelsexton2003 (talk) 19:30, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * A redirect page is not empty. The Banner  talk 19:34, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at List of Irish inventions and discoveries. The Banner talk 19:23, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm The Banner. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to User talk:Michaelsexton2003. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you. The Banner talk 19:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
