Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, in your recent edit to Emotion, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. NebY (talk) 17:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @NebY thank you for pointing this out. I'll make sure to learn about this guidance and be more careful in future. thanks. Ronnie larko (talk) 17:53, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
 * Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
 * Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's elegibility.

 * Thank you Diannaa for pointing this out, I understand. I was primarily hoping to reference the facts and convey events (e.g. numbers of casualties) but upon closer reflection you are correct that in some instances I simply did not do a good job of that and did not properly paraphrase. Thank you for your work and for pointing this out to me. Lesson learned, and I shall try to be more careful and thorough in future. Thanks.  Ronnie larko (talk) 08:28, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, in your recent edit to Transportation engineering, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Graham87 (talk) 15:01, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks Graham, I will ensure to be more cautious in future. My thinking was around how the article highlights the significance of "scientific principles" with an internal link, while that was not the case for "technology", hence the internal link edit, but as you point out this might be overlinking... Thanks for pointing this out, appreciate it. Ronnie larko (talk) 08:45, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
