Original research
See WP:NOR and WP:VERIFY. Sources need to discuss the subject. Doug Weller talk 19:05, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

/* undefined */ new section
Stop removing information sourced to SPLC. That study has been widely referenced in RS which consider it reliable. Your edits border on vandalism because you fail to accept these facts. Legacypac (talk) 21:27, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:List of Confederate monuments and memorials
At Talk:List of Confederate monuments and memorials you left this edit. Was it in response to my edit above it? If so, why did you start a new section? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:59, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Seriously, stop messing with the caption. There was an RfC, it was closed. The current graph and caption reflects consensus. Your edits are becoming disruptive.  Volunteer Marek  13:25, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The controversy was about the graph = NOT the caption. -Topcat777 13:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

ds notice
Because of comments on the Roy Moore article.  Volunteer Marek  15:33, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Confederate monuments
I was hoping you comment on a matter at the Removal of Confederate monuments and memorials talk page.--MagicatthemovieS

Quote removed
That quote is not neutral. If it were accompanied by a quote supporting removals, that would be difference. But you can’t, or shouldn’t, use WP to support one side of a controversy. deisenbe (talk) 10:46, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Due weight
That there are more sources cited on one side than the other is a feature, not a bug, of Wikipedia. Due weight required that we balance differing POVs based on their prevalence in reliable sources. If there are more sources on one side than the other, there will be more of those sources in the article. That is not a reason to give a single opposing source significantly more space. Sorry, but that's not how it works here. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 20:08, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to List of Confederate monuments and memorials. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. ''Please don't make stuff up and add it to articles. You've been cautioned once already. Thanks.''

Disambiguation link notification for May 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1982 Atlanta Braves season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zane Smith ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/1982_Atlanta_Braves_season check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/1982_Atlanta_Braves_season?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.)

Confederate Memorial Day
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Confederate Memorial Day. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Wes sideman (talk) 11:21, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Sons of Confederate Veterans for general discussion of this or other topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See the talk page guidelines for more information. Thank you. Rsk6400 (talk) 07:52, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use talk pages for inappropriate discussions, as you did at Talk:Sons of Confederate Veterans. You've been warned about this several times. Doug Weller  talk 15:11, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Topcat777! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. glman (talk) 15:02, 14 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Auburn fan? I would count the edit as minor.  There is no dispute.  The particular play is described in the article.  The game and play are well known by that phrase- "Wrong-Way Bo."  Topcat777 (talk) 15:30, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
