June 2021[edit]

Buddy, I have no problem against you. Okay : ) ! You can edit it back, but things have to be sourced in wikipedia. If you can leave a link to the newspaper you’re referring to then the account can be kept on this page. We sincerely thank you for your previous edits!

July 2021[edit]

Hi Smilus32! 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. Thank you.

Royal standards in infoboxes of countries[edit]

Hello. Will you please stop adding 'royal standards' to the infoboxes of countries. Get a consensus to do so 'first', at their respective talkpages. GoodDay (talk) 15:38, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Lincoln (proposed state)[edit]

Along the same lines, I removed your addition of the "proposed flag and seal" of the state of Lincoln. I mentioned this in the Talk page when I removed them, but there's no source for who made and used them. For all I can tell, they were made up just for that article on Wikipedia. If they're authentic symbols of the statehood movement and you can find a source that says so, go ahead and add them back, with the source information.

May 2022[edit]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Multiple editors oppose your continued changes to sourced content on the Sonic article. Please use the article talk page to explain why you feel the need to change this rather than just continuing to re-add it over and over again. Sergecross73 msg me 19:06, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game)) for a period of 72 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

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 ~~~~}}. -- ferret (talk) 02:13, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While you still haven't brought it to a talk page as asked of you, in response to this edit summary of yours, you are not allowed to remove sources just because you personally don't like a source. That alone is an invalid reason for removal. IGN is considered a reliable source per WP:VG/S, and it does back up the statement. So please stop doing that. Thanks.

Minor edit[edit]

Hi Smilus32! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Robert Pattinson 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. Thank you.

June 2022[edit]

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. Your continued misuse of minor edits despite several notices about it is disruptive, also see MOS:INFONAT, you don't need to add nationality when that can be easily inferred from the birth place. TylerBurden (talk) 08:07, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Markus Persson, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Despite warnings and attempts to engage you, you continue to add nationality to infoboxes. Continuing to do so may result in a block. -- ferret (talk) 19:13, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for competence is required, refusal to communicate, continuing edits against MOS despite warnings. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}. -- ferret (talk) 02:02, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, you got my word. I just thought more info was needed. I admit, I do not agree with rules set on Wikipedia about info boxes. But now I swear an oath I will never do this again. Smilus32 (talk) 06:38, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FLAGCRUFT[edit]

Please stop adding flags to infoboxes where they are not wanted or needed. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:32, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Smilus32 (talk) 00:47, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconsider adding unit emblems to infoboxes. These are too obscure to be useful to the readers and create unnecessary visual clutter. The relevant guideline is here: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Icons#Encyclopedic_purpose. That said, there's much that needs improvement in the WWII articles: adding sources, copyediting, etc. Please let me know if you have any questions. --K.e.coffman (talk) 18:34, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

January 2023[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Blackbeard. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

There are several problems with the edits you keep restoring.

Refbombing an article is unnecessary even if the sources are high-quality. What made you decide that five separate sources were needed to verify a single sentence?

The sources you added are not high-quality ones. Prabook is a Wikipedia scraper site (and the specific link appeared to be just an image – but no Prabook link would have been a good source), legendsofamerica is a hobby website, not a scholarly source, "Blackbeard's Ghost" at americanfolklore is a ghost story, Pirates and Buccaneers of the Atlantic Coast is fiction (from 1944), and so on.

Finally, and most importantly, you can't just go restore your preferred version of the article when multiple editors have reverted them and asked you to use the article talk page. bonadea contributions talk 15:04, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Blackbeard. Stop edit warring. bonadea contributions talk 19:11, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

February 2023[edit]

I see that you have had explained to you above what constitutes a "minor edit". This is clearly not a minor edit and should not have been labelled as such. Nor are the many other edits where you have made a similar change. It is also not acceptable to make any edit without leaving some sort of edit summary. Nor is it acceptable to add unsourced material to featured articles without first discussing it on the article's talk page. Indeed, it is not acceptable to add unsourced material to any article. I assume that you do have a source for the changes you have made. Could it be cited in the articles you have edited in the usual way please. Thank you. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:17, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FLAGCRUFT[edit]

In accordance with MOS:INFOBOXFLAG I have removed the emblems you added at Iraqi Armed Forces. I note that the unit emblems policy has been explained to you above. Please do not make these kinds of edits. Buckshot06 (talk) 17:09, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

House of Sully moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to House of Sully. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability and needs to clarify if William is William, Count of Sully, who is Adela, Lady of Sully and who is Mary. (This should be properly referenced). Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Disambiguation link notification for September 17[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited House of Blois, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Antigny. 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.)

I understand. Smilus32 (talk) 06:21, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is just my opinion. I just felt like flags add more decoration and indication to the readers. I just do not agree with the rules wikipedia provided about info boxes/ Per:MOS. You got my word now. I won’t do this ever again. Smilus32 (talk) 06:25, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
