Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks.

Talk pages
Hello, thanks for your thank you but just letting you know that the newest messages on any noticeboard or talk page are placed at the bottom of the page. If you put them at the top or in the middle of the page, the editor is not likely to see them. You can see this on your own User talk page as I've placed this message at the bottom of the page. It's where editors naturally look for new messages.
If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 23:48, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Get Loose Crew errors
Your recent additions at Get Loose Crew require quite a bit of cleanup, including random bold font and nonsense phrases such as "The group is came to rise became". I'm working on sixing these errors now.
Please take more time with your edits, and please review the Manual of Style. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 15:36, 4 April 2025 (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 disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 15:36, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Similar issues at Beat Factory, such as inappropriate bold and italic text, and the nonsense phrase "based in It was an Ivan Berry and songwriter Rupert Gayle." Because you also added sources and made some improvements, I am fixing your edits rather than reverting them, but honestly this wording is so scrambled that it's borderline vandalism. Jessicapierce (talk) 15:57, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Beat Factory
Hello, I can absolutely see that you are acting in good faith to improve the Beat Factory article. However, your recent additions contained many errors, so I've removed it until those can be addressed. Your work has not been deleted - you can access it in the page history.
I would advise you to repost the content in your sandbox, where you can work on it until it is ready to resubmit. There were many errors such as inappropriate bold text, lack of italics on album titles, and mismatch of verb tense throughout the timeline section. There were also incomplete sentences, unexplained external links, and incorrect capital letters.
Please review the Manual of Style, as linked several times above, before contributing again. I'm happy to work with you on this - I'm very glad to see you're adding legitimate content with sources - but you really do need to clean this up significantly. Thank you, Jessicapierce (talk) 00:19, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you! Human errors are to be corrected, in good faith HumanWritesBook (talk) 02:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:38, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Michelle Levy moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Michelle Levy, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Emanuelle Gattuso
Hello HumanWritesBook,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Emanuelle Gattuso for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can , but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

"Driven to diminish the stress of patients who worriedly have to wait for breast cancer results (average of 33 days in Canada), Gattuso jumped on-board with Dr. McCready’s precedent-setting vision to create a centre that would give individuals their assessment, diagnosis and treatment recommendations in just one day. “He explained to me what he was thinking and that, you know, we have to run a pilot program first to see if it really would work and so I was excited. I thought, ‘this is incredible.’” Over dinner one night, she informed her husband about the multi-phase project and how it would significantly change the lives of women by lessening the anxiety that coincides with not knowing. “My husband said, ‘Well what can I do to help?’ So I said, ‘Maybe you can get the ball rolling and make a donation?’ And he said, ‘Well OK, how about if I gave half?’ I said, ‘that would work!’” In addition to donating $12.5 million in 2009, the Gattuso-Slaight family began matching public donations, rallying support from friends and family and organizing events."[1]

Hello! I keep receiving notifications that I'm being tagged in a number of articles you're working on (2, I think?) and I was wondering why you're tagging me? I'm not familiar with either article, or it's history but I might be mistaken. I'm willing to offer a bit of assistance, but I mostly edit natural sciences articles, conduct new page patrols, and add banners/article assessments to talk pages. I'm not sure it's worth continuing to tag me. Ryan shell (talk) 22:08, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to living or recently deceased subjects of biographical content on Wikipedia articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. Hipal (talk) 00:45, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
