Would it be considered gauche to cite the organization's website (https://empirewashitaw.org/) when discussing the Washitaw Nation's beliefs? MrSwedishMeatballs (talk) 23:55, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is your talk page and that question belongs on the article talk page where you should also discuss your other edits. Doug Weller talk 08:44, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Washitaw Nation. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. 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. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 00:29, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aspect ratio (image), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Super 16. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 18:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm ThaddeusSholto. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Pickled cucumber, 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 14:17, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @MrSwedishMeatballs, I am not sure why you removed some content from Apple silicon because you did not provide an edit summary. Please explain your changes. ItsCheck (talk) 23:30, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The content in question was redundant, just repeating the title info in the wikitable for no reason. MrSwedishMeatballs (talk) 03:11, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That needs to be explained with every edit in the edit summary. One can't assume it is clear to other editors why a change is made. —DIYeditor (talk) 17:08, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Ampere (microarchitecture) did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Please use edit summaries to explain why you are making changes to any article. —DIYeditor (talk) 17:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Coyote & Crow, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Native Americans.

If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for working on fixing the formatting of things! However, the Manual of Style (MOS:NBSP) says that we should use the   entity rather than a plain space between a value and its units. That will keep browsers from ever making a line-break at that location. DMacks (talk) 08:44, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you're changing the text of every article that misuses a dash (-) as a minus sign (−) you could file a request for someone to do this work in a much more expedient manner through Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks. Reconrabbit 16:22, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MrSwedishMeatballs,

Instead of simply changing the dash to a minus signe, it would be even better to format mathematical expressions using the {{math| ... }} template. For instance, {{math|-''x''}} yields -x whereas -''x'' is rendered as -x. From a semantic point of view, {{math|-''x''}} is better than both -''x'' and−''x''.

Hello, I'm GSK. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Nintendo Switch 2, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

Please familiarize yourself with WP:EDITSUMMARY, WP:FIES in particular. Paradoctor (talk) 02:25, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain the purpose of these edits ([1] [2]) at 2024 Catalan regional election? I am also joining a previous user's call for you to familiarize yourself with WP:EDITSUMMARY and WP:FIES, to which I am adding WP:BRD to the list. Thanks. Impru20^talk 12:46, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Impru20 The page incorrectly uses en dashes (–) where there should be minus signs (−). 23.127.69.8 (talk) 14:28, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I now see what was intended and did not notice than that was an en dash, but you are right as per MOS:MINUS. I will try to implement this across the multiple articles affected for elections in Spain so that this is fixed ASAP. Impru20^talk 08:31, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Object sexuality, you may be blocked from editing. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:49, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Haudenosaunee Nationals logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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) 03:21, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
