If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:40, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

May 2017
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting.  In particular, don't remove sourced content without an explanatory edit summary, as you did here. Bishonen &#124; talk 19:22, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited BMW Headquarters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bavarian ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/BMW_Headquarters check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/BMW_Headquarters?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:03, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Patriot Prayer, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. 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 the 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. ''Don't remove sources without discussion, as you did. If you have an issue with the reliability of a source, take it to WP:RSN.'' Jorm (talk) 16:44, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Allsides.com as a source
Hi Pretendus. I noticed that you used Allsides.com as a source in New York Daily News. Please note that the general consensus as expressed at WP:RSN is that it does not meet reliable sourcing criteria. I've gone ahead and removed it. If you disagree, let's discuss it. You may want to check WP:RSP and WP:RSN to help determine if a source is reliable. Thanks.--Hipal/Ronz (talk) 20:12, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at List of Ed, Edd n Eddy characters, you may be blocked from editing. Elizium23 (talk) 18:06, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

 Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:23, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

April 30
Hi Pretendus! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. The article is Deep state in the United States, where you have made the identical change three times against consensus and have not discussed the change on the article talk page.
