Disambiguation link notification for April 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Estée Lauder (person), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Leonard (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.

Edit summaries
Hello Saharawiki, just wanted to let you know, you do not have to include  in edit summaries as it does nothing. - Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 15:16, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Stephen Colbert. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. - Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 15:20, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Stephen Colbert. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. - Mlpearc  ( open channel ) 15:22, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Neil N  talk to me 20:03, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

About copy-editing on Wikipedia
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I also spend some of my WP time correcting grammar and style errors in WP articles. I think you may want to familiarize (or re-familiarize) yourself with the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style, however, as I noticed you have made some "corrections" which were inappropriate: Again, thank you for your proofreading activity here on Wikipedia. I hope to see you editing again soon! — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 22:01, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 * First of all, you should exercise caution in altering direct quotations; while "trivial spelling and typographic errors" can be corrected, changes which are merely a matter of stylistic choice should not be made to quoted material.
 * Relatedly, Wikipedia style calls for punctuation to fall outside of a quotation unless the punctuation is part of the quotation. (This one trips up lots of Americans, but is standard in most Commonwealth Englishes, and allows for greater accuracy of quotations.)
 * When rephrasing a sentence or sentences, such as to avoid passive voice, you should check the source cited for the text in question to make sure you have not inadvertently created a close paraphrase of copyrighted material.

Disambiguation link notification for June 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jamaal Bowman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Yorkville ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Jamaal_Bowman check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Jamaal_Bowman?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.)

Signature
Thank you for copy editing. I noticed that you use four tildes, ~, in your edit summaries. That doesn't actually show the signature anywhere - you only have to use four tildes when you post on a talk page, like I am doing now. Of course, I don't know if you are doing it for some stylistic purpose, which could be the case. Cheers, --Pudeo (talk) 06:05, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Tali Farhadian
thanks for your edits here. May I suggest you use referencing templates so readers have all details and you can also use the short form of the cite if the article has been used before? You can see how I combined the NYT sources. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! StarM 19:41, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Edit summaries
You don't have to "sign" your edit summaries; the four tildes do nothing there. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 01:45, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Repeat, the four tildes do nothing--well, they distract the viewer. Also, chatty celeb trivia sourced to people and other gossip magazines is not usually worth including. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 02:00, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
