December 2016[edit]

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Samsung Galaxy S4, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:08, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removed links[edit]

Please read WP:SEEALSO, specifically that "As a general rule, the 'See also' section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes." ViperSnake151 Talk 17:20, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Navigation boxes? Do you mean the infobox?.
Update: I've found the link in the article body. TheWikiContributor (talk) 17:21, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Samsung Galaxy Note9[edit]

Hello TheWikiContributor, I found out that you reverted my edits on moving the article Samsung Galaxy Note 9 to Samsung Galaxy Note9. May I know why? The official branding was effective since the launch of the device and is shown across all publications from Samsung. Cheers. –Wefk423 (talk) 15:50, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I reverted your redirect is because "Samsung Galaxy Note 9" is the official name (like its predecessors), the "Note9" (without space) applies to the logo only (it's a matter of branding). The Galaxy Note9 (no spaces) should redirect to the article name "Samsung Galaxy Note 9" (with the whitespace).
Also, the articles about the predecessors doesn't redirect to the non-whitespaced version (it's quite the opposite), so I reverted your edit to keep the articles consistent. Consistency was a very important thing to me. TheWikiContributor (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your reply. But please do include your reasons inside your edit summary when you revert such edits. It is faster for us to understand. Cheers. –Wefk423 (talk) 15:45, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I usually include an edit summary when I edit. Sometimes I forget. I'll try to pay more attention the next time. Thanks for your reply. TheWikiContributor (talk) 16:46, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

August 2018[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Samsung Galaxy Note 9 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. For technical request moves on redirects, please go to WP:RM/TR. But please do reply me here on reverting my article moves. Wefk423 (talk) 18:43, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I did this is because someone moved the article to an alternate name: The correct name is "Samsung Galaxy Note 9", because "Note9" (no spaces) is an alternate name. The next time I'll make a request instead of copypasting. Thanks for your tips. TheWikiContributor (talk) 01:40, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, you may be blocked from editing. Acroterion (talk) 03:13, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I did it on purpose. I want my account to be deleted anyway!

Just delete my account right away and this will stop! TheWikiContributor (talk) 03:26, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

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 ~~~~}}. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 03:32, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edits prior to 2022 are so different from the recent disruptive editing spree that it's possible this is a compromised account (although if so, the original user appears long gone, with no activity since 2019). _signed,Rosguill ^talk 03:35, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
