Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions! Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to William W. Henry, goes against a Wikipedia guideline. You may find it helpful to look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. 〜 Adflatuss • talk 22:29, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Lounge rock. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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 noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 01:43, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Changes are necessary: before you make any more edits, please read the revision comments made by multiple other editors (myself included) when reverting some of your edits. In many cases your changes are not appropriate, and continuing to make the same sorts of changes (in particular, inserting "the" unnecessarily before common names, and changing "at 123 Foo St" to "on the 123 Foo St") is likely to be construed as disruptive, with consequent loss of editing privileges. If you feel strongly about your edits, please discuss the matter on the relevant article talk page(s).

There would be merit in your making future changes as a series of small edits (per article) rather than one single edit. This will make it easier to discuss a specific edit - and, if necessary, for other editors to revert a single problematic edit while leaving your valid changes. Many of your edits are actually good, but they have been done in the same single edit as many bad edits, so separating them is currently difficult. In the ideal world editors would keep your good changes and revert only the bad changes, but - given that there are so many of them - editors, myself included, are likely to simply revert your single edit rather than take the time to work out what is worth keeping.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

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 noticeboards.
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, as you did at Pat's Creek (Alberta), you may be blocked from editing. Hwy43 (talk) 03:17, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Barnaby Keeney. Binksternet (talk) 04:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. Many of your pipe and grammar changes are simply wrong. Meters (talk) 23:03, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
