User talk:Rutte857

Welcome!
Hello, Rutte857, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 02:37, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

November 2016
Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Arlington County, Virginia without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. —C.Fred (talk) 02:37, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Arlington County, Virginia, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. ''Please explain why you're deleting the material. Otherwise, without any explanation, we're left to assume the edits are disruptive.'' —C.Fred (talk) 02:51, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Interstate Highway infoboxes
Please don't append anything to the route number, as you did here. As you found out with CT, that broke the infobox's display of the marker graphic, but even where it doesn't break the graphics, it makes the extra text visible in the name. If we wanted the state-name shields to appear, we'd have coded them to appear without that extra text.  Imzadi 1979  →   20:47, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Doing so at U.S. Route 66 and U.S. Route 66 in Oklahoma had the same result: using 66 (historic) might change the shield graphic called by the template, but the "(historic)" text was visible in the name, a result we do not want. Please don't do this again, ok?  Imzadi 1979  →  17:03, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Denton County, Texas, you may be blocked from editing. ''Please explain why you removed the Communities section from the article. With no edit summary, there's no way to tell if it was a careless accident or intentional disruption.'' —C.Fred (talk) 13:45, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Denton County, Texas. —C.Fred (talk) 14:17, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Interstate 476, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ''We've asked you to stop this, and yet you continue. Failure to engage those of us communicating with you about will result in a loss of editing privileges.''
