Hello, I'm William Allen Simpson. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Vedette (cabaret) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. (Subtle vandalism with nowiki, errant wikilinks and refs, mixed among valid edits.)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Josephine Baker. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. (Subtle vandalism with nowiki and other errant wikilinks.)

My edits to Vedette & Josephine Baker pages
Good morning Mr. Simpson - just wanted to touch base regarding my edits that you reversed. I am new to this, and I apologize if I accidentally messed up a wikilink or reference. Is there a tutorial I can read for guidance? Also, regarding your comment about vandalism on the Baker page, I want to make sure it didn't appear that I am the person who added the all caps banner at the top of her page about voting for Trump and Pepe in 2020. I discovered that vandalism around 4:45 - 5:00 AM EST, and attempted to delete it, but got a message that there was an editing conflict. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your time.

 * You've been editing for 10 months. I didn't have time to check your older edits. Josephine Baker had a Google Doodle that day, so there was a lot of errant editing and vandalism. Among your edits, I had to correct"Rainier III of Monaco)rD", "fileBaker he", deletion of the final letter of "overblow", and removal of a ". However" and "," creating two nonsensical run-on sentences. While these may also be accidental, they are typical of vandalism and were flagged in the edit summary. Please be more careful in the future, and always Show changes and Show preview before Save changes. After all, an additional 2 minutes of your time would have saved 15 minutes of mine.
