Hello, I'm McGeddon. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Dom Joly, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. We shouldn't say that someone "appears" to have a certain political stance based on our own observations. McGeddon (talk) 22:34, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Vernon Kay, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Modelling. 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.

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to James Woods 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 and
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 19:21, 15 February 2015 (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.

Overlinking
Hi. I see you like working on film plots. I often like to do that, too, and there are many articles that need to be improved. However, you're linking too many trivial words, such as "sex" to sexual intercourse. Generally, you shouldn't link generic English words. This is called overlinking, and it violates the manual of style. In general, you should only link the most important words. If a character goes to the hospital, you wouldn't link the word "hospital" – it's a pretty generic word. Likewise, if they eat lunch, you wouldn't link "lunch", either, for the same reason. However, you might link "Halloween", as this holiday is not practiced worldwide, and people from countries where Halloween is not practiced might not understand the customs involved. Also, you might link complex topics, such as "multiple sclerosis" or "Pauli exclusion principle", which may require a link to explain what they are. In general, if it's a very common phrase or word, don't link it. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:09, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to the Four Weddings and a Funeral plot summary have been removed because they added a significant amount of unnecessary detail. Please avoid excessive detail and high word counts when editing plot summaries/synopses. You may read the plot summary edit guides to learn more about contributing constructively to plot summaries/synopses. There are also specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books. 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. -- DonIago (talk) 16:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Christian Bale. 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.  4TheWynne (talk) (contribs)  22:43, 16 December 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 your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at O Brother, Where Art Thou?, you may be blocked from editing.  The Old Jacobite The '45 16:55, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Just a friendly reminder 😊
Hey, I really appreciate your contributions to Daniel Day-Lewis. Keep that editing up! One thing though: try not to overlink articles, in these circumstances:
 * Names of very widely-known cities, regions and countries (see link I provided)
 * Things that have already been linked to above in the article (apart from the Lead, which is its own can of beans.

This is to prevent creating links that no-one will click (because their subjects are obvious), to ultimately help article readability. If ever you need help, post something on my talk page and I'll be happy to assist. Good luck in your editing carreer!  Double Plus Ungood (talk)  22:34, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

I wondered if there is a reason why you are replacing examples instead of just adding new ones. Do you think they are inaccurate or obscure? Because the page has built up over time and perhaps you should not be cavalier with other people's contributions without a good reason. Robina Fox (talk) 00:12, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Charlie Sheen, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems.

Hello, I'm Wallyfromdilbert. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Karl Pilkington, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 23:20, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

OVERLINKING
You have been asked repeatedly to read WP:OVERLINK. I have no way of knowing if you have read it. It is clear, however that you are either unwilling or unable to abide by the guideline. You also have refused to discuss the issue.

I'll go back and clear out a few more of the articles you have edited. If you continue to add links to common English terms, you will be blocked from editing. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 01:36, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at User:TheReeDog. ''You show no indication of having even considered WP:OVERLINK or the idea that your unrestrained linking is anything but helpful. Having apparently never used an edit summary or visited a talk page, it would seem a block is necessary to get your attention.

This edit adds links for locations (New York City, Europe), common occupations (detective) and other common nouns virtually every fluent English speaker understands and does not need significant other knowledge of to understand the article (suicide, etc.).

If you disagree or do not understand, please discuss the issue on this talk page.'' Sum mer PhD v2.0 06:11, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
