August 2021[edit]

Hello, I'm Lord Belbury. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Sorry! (game) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Your edits introduced some unusual phrasings into the article, saying that a pawn "maybe bumped" and that players are trying to get a "main home". If you are using an automated correction tool, you should not apply its recommendations if you are not a fluent English speaker. Lord Belbury (talk) 16:05, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't try to copyedit a sentence if you don't understand what it's saying. Your edits to the Scrabble article did correctly fix some basic grammar mistakes, but also introduced errors such as The first few plays have JOKED 8D 50 (instead of "the first few plays are") and a scoreless negative than the opponents (instead of the correct "a score less negative than the opponent's").

You also shouldn't make corrections to direct quotes, if you think a quoted developer should have said "model" rather than "mode" when talking to a newspaper about an app.

If you're running article text through grammar-checker software and approving all of its suggestions, please don't do that. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:55, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your various Cluedo edits, removing punctuation from the "Mr" and "Mrs" honorifics is not necessary. MOS:MR implies that Wikipedia actually considers "Mr." and "Mrs." to be more correct. Lord Belbury (talk) 11:32, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please take care with links[edit]

Hallo, When you make a link as in this edit, please always check whether it really goes where you expect. This one led to a disambiguation page. I think the link you intended is William Beckett (singer) - if not, please fix it, as I've made that link. Thanks. PamD 18:35, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 14[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Driving Home for Christmas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Schultz. 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) 06:01, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguated links[edit]

Just to let you know, editor CourtneyTheFortney, Viacom is now a disambiguation page. So when you link to the company, the way you did at Live While We're Young, please use:

[[Viacom (2005–2019)|Viacom]]

See more about linking at the help page and the project page. Thank you for your edits and for your support in this! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 12:38, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No Control[edit]

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

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

Disambiguation pages[edit]

Please note that disambiguation pages like No Control are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 23:00, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

June 2023[edit]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 13:54, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. 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. Magitroopa (talk) 18:24, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
