Edit summaries[edit]

Hello. 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. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

External links on school pages[edit]

Please do not add archived copies of school or school board home pages to external links. This is not the same situation as a dead link that is used as a reference. Since they are not being used to reference a particular fact we do not need to have access to a particular historical version of the page that supports that fact. Linking to an archived copy of an outdated home page is not helpful, and can be very misleading. These are obviously web pages that have changed URLs. If you want to deal with the dead link then just find the new page and link to it. Meters (talk) 23:30, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This one [1] for example, in which you added a nine-year-old archived copy of the school's profile. The principal is wrong. The trustee is wrong. The superintendent is wrong. The links don't work. I could go on... Meters (talk) 23:36, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Setting up profile and talk pages[edit]

How do I do that stuff? 0Detail-Attention215 (talk) 22:31, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Annex[edit]

Because you don't leave edit summaries, I'm not sure what the purpose of this edit was. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:43, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 1[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Postman Pat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amazon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 06:42, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

July 2020[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at User:Ravenswing. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you ever so, but I believe I can decide for myself how I want my user page formatted and spaced. It appears that my user page isn't the first one you've vandalized. Do not do so again, to mine or anyone else's. Ravenswing 02:39, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

what do you mean — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cesternino (talk • contribs) 03:40, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly what I said: stop editing other people's user pages. Period. I see you've done so to two others, after saying you'd stop doing it. Don't do it again. This is not a hard concept to swallow. Ravenswing 03:28, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there[edit]

Hi there. You seem to be making mass changes to articles, other people's user pages, and sensitive Wikipedia-space pages (such as community policies or pages under ArbCom's purview) which are WP:COSMETIC (that is, they do not change the actual appearance of the page) and without leaving edit summaries, and without any justification or reason. I see that four other users have left you notes about these things. I can see that you are trying to improve things, but unfortunately these edits have been pretty disruptive. Please do not repeat them, or I will have to block you from editing.

This kind of maintenance-type work is often difficult for new editors; I encourage you to stick to writing and contributing prose and sourcing to articles, rather than working in maintenance. Is there a topic that you would like to edit? Perhaps I can direct you to better resources to help you edit more constructively. You should also read the links in the "Welcome!" section above. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 03:24, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Following my note here, you have mixed this type of disruptive editing with somewhat productive maintenance work, such as adding archive links to dead links. I am grateful for your fixing of dead links, but I remain concerned that you are continuing to make the same kinds of WP:COSMETICBOT edits without edit summaries (such as [2] [3] [4][5]). As I mentioned in my last message, these edits are disruptive, and I must give you this final warning: continued unexplained cosmetic edits (that is, those edits that do not affect the actual rendered page) will be considered disruptive and you will be blocked from editing. I am also concerned that you are ignoring the people who are attempting to communicate with you on your talk page, like my message above. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 21:42, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to BBC Online[edit]

Hi there Cestermino, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! I noticed that on this edit to BBC Online, you added what seemed to be purely cosmetic changes, alongside adding extra unfilled parameters and adding unsourced content. You also replaced a dead link with an archived link, I suggest using a template like {{cite web}} to keep the original link while adding the archived version. The edit came off a bit bot like to me, and I suggest using the edit summary. I reverted your edits as I believed they were not an improvement. Just thought I might tell you as these edits aren't very productive as they offer no benefit to the editor or the reader. — Yours, Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 08:22, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 13[edit]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cultural influence of the September 11 attacks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bing.

Oak Park, Illinois[edit]

At Oak Park, Illinois, you removed the ellipsis from a quote, destroying the syntax of the text. You have been cautioned about cosmetic changes by User:Berrely and User:L235, and again, no edit summary to explain what you are doing. Sloppy editing does not benefit the readers of Wikipedia, and makes more work for other volunteer editors. Magnolia677 (talk) 07:22, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

i was fixing the dead links i think i removed it by accident — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cesternino (talk • contribs) 09:56, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

September 2020[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Notice of Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents discussion[edit]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Help/mentoring needed for uncommunicative editor. Thank you. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 07:04, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. Per the issues raised here, your continued general non-responsiveness and refusal to answer concerns in an intelligible manner cannot continue, and I see no sign that you'll respond to anything short of a block.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 16:45, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
