Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Please leave useful edit summaries[edit]

Hi!

It's good practice to always leave a short comment about what work we did in the edit summary (the text entry field just above the Save page and Show preview buttons).

This helps other editors tell at a glance what you have done. Sometimes, without an edit summary, your work may be considered thoughtless or belligerent, and be undone.

Whatever you choose, happy editing! fredgandt 03:13, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of notes on categories[edit]

Thanks for your energy and enthusiasm in improving Wikipedia! Two things:

In adding a category to a page, that topic's membership in a category must be supported by the article. For example, if a page doesn't mention that a food is consumed at Christmastime, then there's no grounds to add Category:Christmas food.
A category should be placed in a parent category only if all of its members—and any potential future members—inherently fit in that parent category. For example, with your edit of Category:Animated horror films, not all horror films are fantasy films, so this is not an appropriate parent category.

You can read more about the principles of categories at Wikipedia:Categorization. I hope these pointers will help you make more effective contributions. Thanks for reading this, and happy editing! Ibadibam (talk) 19:25, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see you are continuing to make edits that don't quite align with the guidelines I mentioned above. Specifically, there seems to be confusion about what a franchise is, and when a holiday category can be added to an article. Please respond if you have any questions. Ibadibam (talk) 18:11, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're still having trouble with categorization. The name of a category generally describes its members. So Category:Pirates is a category for people who are pirates, while Category:Piracy is for other topics that are related to pirating. You also need to stop adding holiday-related categories to articles that don't mention those holidays. This is the third message I've left about that one.

If you persist in making unhelpful edits like these, despite the effort of several editors to help orient you to the way categorization works on Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Please let us be your helpers, and not your enemies. Ibadibam (talk) 20:14, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to restate these principles again:

For a category to go in another category, everything that's in the first category must also be part of the parent category. Category:Dracula is not a subcategory of Category:Novels by Bram Stoker because not everything in the Dracula category is a novel by Bram Stoker. (see explanation about New York at WP:EPONYMOUS)
The only things that should go into X by franchise categories are articles and categories about franchises. Articles about genres or individual works don't belong in these categories.

Your enthusiasm and eagerness to contribute is great, but please take some time to read the guidelines on categorization so you don't end up wasting time on edits that will be reverted. Ibadibam (talk) 03:03, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

April 2016[edit]

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

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:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! — Andy W. (talk · contrib) 04:55, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I removed the category Dandy, because i do not think it's appropriate. A narcissist, yes, but a dandy? No. Kleuske (talk) 15:06, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bidirectionality of navboxes[edit]

Hello again! When you place a navbox on an article, that article must also appear as a link in that navbox. This concept is called bidirectionality. Ibadibam (talk) 00:57, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributions[edit]

You appear to be an eager contributor and the community appreciates your good faith attempts at improving Wikipedia. The Wikipedia:Community is obviously an important aspect of this project and it follows that communication is essential in keeping it safe from harm. When several members of the community leave you multiple messages trying to guide you that is usually a sign that there's a problem, and especially if those messages go ignored! Please review the guidelines Wikipedia:Categorization, Wikipedia:Overcategorization, as well Help:Edit summary. If there's no response or change in editing patterns you may be temporarily blocked from editing in order to prevent disruption. -- œ^™ 13:04, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Due to no apparent change in editing practices, I have again reported this IP to ANI, at Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents#Persistent unconstructive editing despite warnings (follow-up report). Ibadibam (talk) 19:47, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

June 2016[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Persian Gulf campaign of 1809.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 00:38, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. KGirlTrucker87^{talk what I'm been doing} 01:29, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Before adding a category to an article, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

January 2017[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. This appears to be a long-term issue that has been an on-going problem. You have been blocked three times for this same behavior. 172.56.38.187 (talk) 04:47, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

April 2019[edit]

Look, competence is required here, and you are failing so far. El_C 00:52, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please take your suggestions on how to improve those various articles to their respective talk pages. If you continue to exhibit this lack of competence, you may sanctioned. El_C 00:58, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Two Years Before the Mast have been reverted. There is **no** mention of the author as a journalist in their article, so completely wrong to change 'author' to 'journalist'. Then "a movie" does not get an 'are'. Do you even care what you are doing? Shenme (talk) 01:10, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Northern (genre). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in The Mother Hive. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Stop linking common words as you did here. Sundayclose (talk) 00:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
