"Vandalism"[edit]
Hello Lindsey40186. I know one cannot tell from a glance, particularly going through recent changes, but I've been an editor on Wikipedia since 2006 and made 550,000 edits. I'm not about to start creating vandalistic pages with "Fuck" in the title [1]. As acknowledged by Praxidicae removing your speedy deletion tag, it is the uncensored title of the band's upcoming album. Ss112 04:49, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
June 2022[edit]
Hi Lindsey40186! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Please note that addition of references isn't a minor edit. DrKay (talk) 13:26, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Apologies and noted for next time! :) Lindsey40186 (talk) 16:14, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot[edit]
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]
Hello Lindsey40186! Your additions to Apollo and Daphne have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:42, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Trump[edit]
Howdy. Will you please 'stop' capitalising 'president of the United States', in the intro to Donald Trump? If you don't? you'll likely end up getting topic banned or blocked. GoodDay (talk) 13:28, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- I capitalized it because it's supposed to be capitalized. It's a title referring to a specific person. Lindsey40186 (talk) 15:08, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Read up on WP:JOBTITLES. Though I don't like it, anymore then you do. That's the consensus at JOBTITLES, in those situations. GoodDay (talk) 16:02, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- I've read up on the WP , and though I agree it's not a great consensus, but I guess it is what it is. Lindsey40186 (talk) 18:38, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Fannie Salter[edit]
On 6 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fannie Salter, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Fannie Salter (pictured) was personally appointed keeper of Turkey Point Light by U.S. president Calvin Coolidge? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fannie Salter. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Fannie Salter), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
— Amakuru (talk) 12:02, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- Lovely work on this article - I created it ages and ages ago. Never thought there was that much to say about her beyond what was in some of the hardcore lighthouse literature. Somewhere around here I have a picture of her grave, which I thought I had uploaded to Commons, but evidently have not yet. I'll get to it in the near term, I think. Meantime have a picture of the post office in Susan, which is just down the road from the church where she's buried...it's not much, but it's a cute little building. :-)
- Happy editing! --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:01, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! I will admit that I now know more about a random lighthouse in Maryland than I ever thought I would. I'll have to pay a visit one day. Fannie seemed like a tough lady, and the more I researched her the more amazing her feats became.
- It's an adorable building! And yes, please do add a picture of her grave to the Commons when you are able. I think it would really bring tie a bow on the article. Lindsey40186 (talk) 13:09, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Spacing[edit]
Please do not make edits to articles that only change the spacing in the article source code, as you recently did at Prime number. It makes absolutely no difference to the appearance of the article, and only serves to waste the time of other editors checking that your change did not introduce problems. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:55, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the copyediting![edit]
Hello! I feel a little weird thanking another edit for their edits—obviously I don't want to come across as though I think I own an article—but I thought an exception was warranted for your edits on 1984 New York City Subway shooting. I'd been working on that article for a while in conjunction with a good-article reviewer, and I'm actually quite embarrassed at the "hopital" typo (which, not only did I miss, but I'm certain I introduced!). But what I really wanted to give you a shoutout for was your use of two templates—Template:Inflation and Template:Define—I hadn't seen before and that I now know to use! Always exiting to learn about new tools. Great work.--Jerome Frank Disciple (talk) 15:01, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
- No need to thank me, though it's certainly appreciated! It's all part of being an editor. I've worked on my own Good Article not too long ago, and know that we can stare at these words for so long that we go blind to some errors. Having an outside pair of eyes give things a once over is always helpful :)

Error and Removal of info on Muhammad Ali "Afraad"[edit]
Hello, I'm Binglebarry. I noticed that in this edit to Muhammad Ali "Afraad", you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. As you asked for sources on your page I can I've you one in English here as a link to a website.

Stop it[edit]
Hello Lindsey40186,
can you stop editing daya saran sinha. He is my father so, I think I know more about him than you, so if you cant or are unable to read something in his page does not mean it’s unnecessary or unrelated.
Also everything in the page cannot be cited as I have taken photos of hard copies and uploaded them & stop deleting names from infobox template.
If you want to connect with me or discuss this in detail leave a message on my talk page or email me at elsleaderop@gmail.com.
Thanks. Hope you understand how frustrating it is;)
LeaderEditor (talk) 01:55, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- @LeaderEditor you shouldn't be editing a family members page as that's considered a conflict of interest by Wikipedia.
- This site is meant to relay important and relevant information on a subject and what they are most known for. It's not a repository of photographs or a flowery obituary. The website makes this very clear on the MOS pages. Lindsey40186 (talk) 22:17, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
