Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Prime Minister of Canada. 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. Dr.  K.  18:46, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Disruptive moves
Don't make disruptive moves like you did with Opinion polling in the Canadian federal election, 2015. All the other articles use a similar title. If you want the page moved then make a request at WP:Requested moves. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:58, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Flag of Canada
Hello. Please avoid edit wars such as here. If your edit is reverted please bring it up at the Talk page so you can explain your reasoning on how your changes improve the article, and so other editors have the chance to understand and comment on your view point. In this case, continuing to revert User:Moxy is unproductive and can lead to your being blocked. I hope this helps, and have a good day. trackratte (talk) 17:01, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jay Fayza


The article Jay Fayza has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one.  J 947(c) (m) 07:37, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve J. J. McCullough
Hi, I'm NorthBySouthBaranof. VivaSlava, thanks for creating J. J. McCullough!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. We need independent reliable sources about McCullough, not just things he's written.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Charles lindberg pls try and used edit summaries. ... Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

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. Thanks! Moxy (talk) 21:31, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

National varieties of English
In a recent edit to the page Toronto FC, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. And as has been stated, please supply edit summaries Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:57, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Template:Conservatism in Canada
The template suffers from recentism and concentrates too much on personalities rather than ideas and events. You might not like the changes I did, but the issues are still there. Please think about how the template can help put the main topics into historical context for readers, rather than just be a list of names. I look forward to your help. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 18:57, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Lindsay Shepherd listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Lindsay Shepherd. Since you had some involvement with the Lindsay Shepherd redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. ElKevbo (talk) 12:09, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

February 2018
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Prime Minister of Canada 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. ''English is the native language for British Parliamentary Systems. That there is a word for this in French, and that happens to be a legal language in Canada is no reason to supply it as a "native name" in the template. Please discuss on the talk page or explain when making any edits. As you're at two edits there now, recognize that you could be edit warring if you make a change. See WP:3RR.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:29, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Prime Minister of Canada. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:50, 27 February 2018 (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.

Replaceable fair use File:Doug Ford for Leader logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Doug Ford for Leader logo.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:39, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Doug Ford for Leader logo.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Doug Ford for Leader logo.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Whpq (talk) 12:42, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:34, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
