Hi {{ping|Normantas Bataitis}}, I see you doing this quite a lot and to save other users the time of having to correct it, it's probably more useful I point it out to you. References '''always''' follow punctuation, so if you're adding a reference for a death it should come after the ")" bracket, not before it. It's a minor point, but a significant one. Thanks --[[User:Jkaharper|Jkaharper]] ([[User talk:Jkaharper|talk]]) 13:43, 15 April 2022 (UTC) |

Disambiguation link notification for November 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Leopold Sánchez, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cartagena. 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) 06:00, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for noticing my mistake. From now on I will be more careful about that. Normantas Bataitis (talk) 14:24, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Kenny J's country of birth
Hi. I noticed that you changed "Trinidad and Tobago" to "British Windward Islands" for Kenny J's country of birth. I wanted to clarify that even though the country wasn't independent yet in 1952, "Trinidad and Tobago" has existed since the union of the two colonies in 1889. In addition, Trinidad was never part of the British Windward Islands, and though Tobago was briefly part of that entity, it was only for a couple decades in the middle of the 19th century.

Hi. Thanks for information. I will pay attention to your remarks in future editing. Normantas Bataitis (talk) 16:23, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi there. Please be aware of WP:STUBSPACING which states: "Leave two blank lines between the first stub template and whatever precedes it." I've restored it at Valerio Carrara. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 12:00, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
February 2022
Hi there - Wikipedia relies on reliable sources to verify information, especially about living people. You didn't provide a source for your changes to the Fábio Zambiasi article, and I couldn't find one either. If you have a reliable source please let me know and we can change the article. Please let me know if you have any questions. GiantSnowman 16:28, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Where in this reference[1] that you added to her article does it say March 27th for her date of death? It doesn't. This type of sloppy editing in BLPs is too prevalent around here. Read this talk page discussion[2] to better understand why I say that. BTW, Joyce died[3] on the 26th....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 21:44, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Correct referencing style
Hi @Normantas Bataitis:, I see you doing this quite a lot and to save other users the time of having to correct it, it's probably more useful I point it out to you. References always follow punctuation, so if you're adding a reference for a death it should come after the ")" bracket, not before it. It's a minor point, but a significant one.
