Laurence Olivier
Hi, I notice you've added a paragraph to the Olivier article and have cited it to Joan Plowright's autobiography. I've updated the citation, but it also needs a page number to make it complete. Could you please either update the article with the page number, or reply to me, and I'll update it. I'm glad you added this information. I've been reading an Olivier biography and he seems to have used endearments when speaking to a lot of people, regardless of their gender. Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way. I hope you're enjoying editing here. Rossrs (talk) 22:57, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:VANDAL includes the definition "Sometimes referenced information or important verifiable references are deleted with no valid reason(s) given in the summary". This is what you are doing, repeatedly, on Laurence Olivier. You also need to take note of the three revert rule. Thirdly, please don't forget that every article has a talk page where you can make your point: this is always preferable to blindly reverting everybody else to your preferred version. This is to exclude the views of other contributors who, working in consensus, have developed the piece to "good article" status—subsequently lost through less conscientious edits—over a long period.--Old Moonraker (talk) 20:55, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Palace Theatre
You added that The Entertainer (play) played at the Palace Theatre, London, but in fact it played at the Court. I am assuming good faith, but you must be more careful when adding information to articles. You must cite your sources. See WP:V and WP:RS. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:03, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

September 2010
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. - 220.101 talk\Contribs 14:46, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Royal Shakespeare Company, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Hall (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Laurence Olivier
Sorry, but I do not see why you keep adding the citation you have found. The summary already asserts Olivier's "greatness" at several points. As it is your addition follows a comment about his repute as a Shakespearian actor, for which he is best remembered. Surely no need for more? Philip Cross (talk) 13:22, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Follow up to the above
Please do not add or change content, as you did to Laurence Olivier, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. MarnetteD | Talk 22:20, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Laurence Olivier shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. MarnetteD | Talk 16:30, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
