Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Libya, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Hi. When you recently edited Our Party (Bosnia and Herzegovina), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Third way (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.

Putin's photo
You recently changed the photo in the infobox for the article on Vladimir Putin. For some reason another user reverted this. Please give your views at Talk:Vladimir Putin.--Toddy1 (talk) 08:27, 3 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Dear Sematz,
 * You changed the infobox picture for the article on Vladimir Putin. It is written in a comment next to the picture that it should be not changed without prior discussion in the talk page. As I did not see any record of such a discussion, I have reverted your edit. Thank you for your understanding. Xionbox₪ 12:46, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Vladimir Putin, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Lothar von Richthofen (talk) 18:10, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Syria. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. ''The "minor edit" option is to be used only for edits that cannot be considered controversial. Your edit was deceptive and in poor faith.'' Kudzu1 (talk) 09:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Your edit to Paul Kagame
As mentioned by others above, please could you use an edit summary when making changes to articles. Otherwise other editors have no idea why you made the change. In the case of Paul Kagame I can't think of a reason not to include the photograph of him with the Obamas under the "United States and United Kingdom" section, so I have reinstated the image.

Shinzo Abe
Hi there. I recently reverted the changes you made to the infobox on Shinzo Abe - specially concerning the new image you added. I say new because, well, actually, it isn't - which is precisely why I changed it back. The pictures you were putting up came from his first term as Prime Minister, and is no longer representative of him, as he is now, in his second term. The image you replaced, on the other hand, is far more up to date and far more reflective of Abe as he is right now. I took the liberty of reverting your change without first raising it with you because I felt my rationale is a very uncontroversial one. Of course, if you disagree with me, please feel free to reply back to me or raise this issue on the article's talk page. Thanks. Redverton (talk) 00:02, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

=Recep Tayyip Erdoğan= Hi Sematz. I don't understand your insistence about photo of PM Erdogan. Without any explanation,you should not continue this edit war! Your support of this photo, in many ways inadequate for these articles and information boxes. Point of view and the quality of light is not available. Please indicate the reason for that is required! -- Maurice (talk) 08:38, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Yintan. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Adly Mansour, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  Yinta n  12:50, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Adly Mansour. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.  Yinta n  13:46, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Adly Mansour, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  Yinta n  14:13, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistent disruptive editing at Adly Mansour. For the present, I have set the block length at 24 hours, but if it turns out that there has been significant disruptive editing on other pages too, that may be extended. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:10, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for January 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bosnian ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Republic_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Republic_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina?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.)

Macedonia
Please stop changing Macedonia to North Macedonia in articles on topics that pre-date the name change. We used the name of the country as it was at the time. See e.g. 1965 Bechuanaland general election, 1960 Basutoland general election, 1960 Burmese general election or 1984 Zairean presidential election.

Minor and more
I notice that you have started marking your edits as minor. Some of them are definitely not minor. Please read WP:MINOR, especially the section "When not to mark as minor changes". --T*U (talk) 15:34, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Maybe you did not read WP:MINOR? Among other things, it says: Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette and if you are in doubt about whether an edit is minor or not, it is always safer not to mark it as minor.
 * Also: You have been asked several times to use edit summaries in order to explain your edits. It helps other editors to understand the content of and/or the reason for your edits, see WP:ES. Thank you! --T*U (talk) 13:57, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Jaap Stam, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:20, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

February 2020
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Germany. ''Please stop adding or changing information, for example population figures, without providing or updating citations that verify it. See also WP:HIJACK.

Please also provide a WP:EDITSUMMARY to explain your edits, and do not mark edits as WP:MINOR unless they are only typo corrections, vandalism removal, or similar insignificant changes that "could never be the subject of a dispute". Thank-you.'' IamNotU (talk) 18:23, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
