Spacing with dash
Thank you for your improvements to format and linking in articles. However, may I just point out that when words in a sentence are separated with "en dashes" – like this – it is best to retain the space before and after the dash, otherwise it looks as if consecutive words are hyphenated-like this.

Your recent editing history at Atheism shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Hawaii does not have an edit summary.&#32;Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. ''

''I also had two concerns about your linking to Oahu in the Hawaii article. For the first, please see MOS:OVERLINK where it states "Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, a link may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, hatnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead." You added a second link for Oahu in the lead that was thus redundant. Second, you removed the ʻokina from Oʻahu. This was inconsistent with the rest of the article & could have been maintained by either the Oʻahu or Oahu constructs.'' Peaceray (talk) 16:12, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Tomorrow
If you have any ideas on how to expand Tomorrow (time) I would be keen to hear them. It was very difficult to find references for it, partly because of so many false hits when searching for tomorrow. It is by far the most abstract subject I have created an article for. - Shiftchange (talk) 02:28, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Unconstructive edits
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Atheism. 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. Scjessey (talk) 15:09, 26 January 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 visit this talk page thread to discuss your proposed changes before editing Atheism again. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:20, 26 January 2017

Genres
Please refrain from changing genres without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. Leaky Caldron  18:20, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Warning (first level)
Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. ''Please do not continue to add "U.S." to state names, nor to quibble over whether England, Scotland, and Wales are countries. Also, don't continually add "the" or "a" or "an" in lists, which by nature are written in a shortened version. Be sure to check the sources cited if you make any changes which are pinned to a reference. Thanks.'' BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Don't remove commas
Please do not remove commas where they are needed, as you did with this edit, changing the sentence "... was an English naturalist and geologist, best known for ..." to "... was an English naturalist and geologist best known for ...". Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 10:03, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Please stop. Wikipedia is not censored. Any further changes which have the effect of censoring an article, such as you did to Albert Einstein, will be regarded as vandalism. If you continue in this manner, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Ongoing controversial, undiscussed edits. ZH8000 (talk) 13:07, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Referring to an article by its name
Referring to this edit, you had changed the correct phrase "... see Attachment in adults" into the incorrect "... see attachment in adults". When referring to an article by its name, please use the name of the article, i.e. use caps. See wp:MOS. I have undone that part of your edit. - DVdm (talk) 13:23, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Please note that the remainder of your edit was reverted too. I hadn't noticed that error. - DVdm (talk) 18:15, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Warning (2nd level)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. 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. ''Please stop making changes against WP:consensus regarding the use of articles in lists, as you did [here]. You've made a lot of edits (some of them very good), but you seem not to be paying attention to the messages on your User page. Thank you again, but it would be wise to slow down and contemplate what the messages on this page are telling you.'' BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 18:02, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
