Danica Roem[edit]

Don't just start adding names - read the talk page. And don't violate MOS:GENDERID by changing the pronouns. And note that you're editing a topic with discretionary sanctions:

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and people associated with the same, all broadly construed, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Discussion on image at Talk:Earth[edit]

Hi WhatsUpWorld, would you consider adding your thoughts at a discussion about the inclusion of a phylogenetic tree image at Talk:Earth#Phylogenetic Tree image removed? Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 13:47, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Urbandale, Iowa[edit]

Please stop changing "2010 census" to "2010 U.S. Census" at Urbandale, Iowa. The section clearly indicates that the figures contained within the section are from the "2010 United States Census". As well, Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline suggests that "The US Census should be the primary source of demographic data", so adding "U.S." to the section heading is unnecessary. Also, leaving the section heading "2010 census" supports a consistency with other city/town articles about US places. If you have an issue with the section headings, please discuss on the article talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:00, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Adding “American” parameter[edit]

Hi, I’ve noticed that you’ve been adding the “Nationality” parameter on the infoboxes of many American politicians. I think this is unnecessary. Parameters like that should only be employed when specification is needed; that is, to safe space, we don’t need to reiterate that a US Senator born in the US is an American—that can be quite plainly gathered from simply reading the article. --Sunshineisles2 (talk) 19:56, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion it should be used to specify that he/she only has the American nationality since many people in the U.S. have a dual citizenship. WhatsUpWorld (talk) 19:58, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even if one did have dual citizenship, it only seems relevant to list in special cases. I’d say that if an American politician was born in the US, the average reader can make the connection just fine. And even so, like I said, if someone also happens to hold Canadian citizenship or whatever, then it can be taken case by case. The whole point of an infobox is that they should be as readable and uncluttered as possible. —Sunshineisles2 (talk) 23:08, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I mean if we have this parameter why not use it? WhatsUpWorld (talk) 23:10, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not every parameter is necessary in every case. Per WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE, “The less information [an infobox] contains, the more effectively it serves [its] purpose.” I’d say that specifying a politician is a citizen of the country they hold office in seems needlessly redundant. —Sunshineisles2 (talk) 23:12, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Summary[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. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
Note: you have been leaving very few, if any, summaries to describe your edits. Please review the Edit Summary guideline and try to leave a summary explaining every edit you make going forward. Thank you - ^theWOLFchild 00:46, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Page Preview[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The "show preview" button is right next to the "save page" button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.
Note: you have left multiple entries in both the histories of the pages you edited along with the watch pages of those editors watching the pages you edited. Please review the Page Preview guideline and use the Preview function to review every edit you make, before you save it. This will enable you to make multiple changes with one edit, instead multiple edits to make one change. Thank you - ^theWOLFchild 00:46, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking Talk Page Feedback[edit]

As you have edited Illinois gubernatorial election, 2018 in the last month, I am seeking your feedback on my post Talk:Illinois gubernatorial election, 2018#Non Notable Endorsements. Your thoughts are appreciated--Mpen320 (talk) 14:40, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was just making some typo edits so I don't think I'm qualified enough to debate this, sorry! WhatsUpWorld (talk) 14:42, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

February 2018[edit]

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Don't try to mislead people into thinking you were correcting grammar when that's not the case at all. Deceptive edit summaries are a bad practice. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:51, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is there some sort of reason you won't use edit summaries on a regular basis as asked by many?--Moxy (talk) 23:26, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I left him a message asking what edit he was talking about. Other than that, if I do many edits on a same article, yes it happens that I resume my work in on summary. WhatsUpWorld (talk) 23:28, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Could you also not use "fixed grammar" as your edit summary half the time when you're not actually making grammar corrections? Mélencron (talk) 03:08, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think Miami metropolitan area is necessary in the intro since many readers not from Florida won't know where Parkland is. All of Broward County is in the Miami area. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:39, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Hilversum–Lunetten railway[edit]

Hi, I'm Boleyn. WhatsUpWorld, thanks for creating Hilversum–Lunetten railway!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add your sources.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Boleyn (talk) 20:12, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please respond? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 08:46, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll upgrade the article when I'll have some time! WhatsUpWorld (talk) 18:59, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, although all it needs is for you to add your source(s), it's fine apart from that. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 20:21, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your use of "CAPS"[edit]

I have reverted your most recent edit to the George H. W. Bush article because you changed job titles that—according to MOS:JOBTITLES—should be in lower case to upper case. You have done this on several occasions in various articles, and it's not constructive – please, stop doing it. Drdpw (talk) 21:34, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of Governors General of Canada[edit]

You removed a maintenance template without explanation. Care to explain on the article's talk page. I didn't add the template, but someone did, so simply removing it is not appropriate. Sorry I deleted the image addition. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:50, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

April 2018[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 content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
Note: I will again ask that you leave edit summaries with all your edits. While you are adding about 2000 edits per month, very few of those edits have summaries attached. When you do add summaries, please don't abuse the 'minor edit' function and please leave a note that actually addresses your edit, for example; don't enter "typo" when you are actually making other changes and not correcting any typos. Please follow the edit summary guidelines. Thank you - ^theWOLFchild 17:29, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Several paragraphs have no citations at all so the {{refimprove}} tag is quite appropriate, so I've reinstated it. ww2censor (talk) 21:04, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

June 2018[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. You've been asked to use edit summaries at least four times that I've counted. You're still not doing it. In the sequence of five edits you made to the Canada article, you supplied three edit summaries, but they don't explain why you made the changes. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:44, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2 photos added: biggest city and tallest mountain. It's stated in the 3 summaries. WhatsUpWorld (talk) 04:46, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"WhatsUpWorld", explaining after the fact, on your talk page, is of little value now. You have been repeatedly asked to leave edit summaries with every edit you make, that accurately explains the changes made in that edit. A quick look at your editing history clearly shows that you continue to refuse to add edit summaries to most, if not all your edits. Some of the very few summaries you have left were inaccurate and of no use, or a were an abuse of the edit summary function. Why do you refuse to cooperate with such a simple request? - wolf 08:03, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because when I edit a page, I sometimes make more edits and I feel one summary to explain it all is enough. WhatsUpWorld (talk) 20:19, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, A) no one knows what your additional edits are unless they review them or if your initial edit summary sufficiantly explains all your changes, which they rarely, if ever do, and B) you never leave that "one summary" in the first place, which is why editors have been repeatedly requesting that you add clear and accurate summaries of your changes when you edit. It's not difficult and it quickly becomes a habit that is beneficial for the project and your fellow editors. Thank you - ^theWOLFchild 21:04, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance.

MOS:ACCESS#Text / MOS:FONTSIZE[edit]

Please stop adding {{small}} to infoboxes, like you did in this edit.

Thanks. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:51, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can you stop capitalizing everything?[edit]

What the heck is up with you insisting so many words should be unnecessarily capitalized? Why in the world do you think "class 1" and "class 3" need to be capitalized here when Classes of United States Senators correctly treats these as common nouns, not proper nouns? And in lots of articles you change instances of "senator" to "U.S. Senator" repeatedly - you know context clues make it pretty obvious we're talking about the United States here and this doesn't need to be duplicated at every mention; no one's confusing these statements with foreign senators or state senators. And still, unless you're referring to a specific person instead of the position itself, "senator" should not be capitalized. Please stop. Reywas92^Talk 18:57, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is no capital letter in Dan Sullivan (U.S. senator) because he is a senator, not a Senator. There was a recent discussion at Talk:Dan Sullivan (U.S. senator)#Requested move 8 September 2018 in case you missed it. I have no interest in whether the adjective should be "U.S." or "American" so I don't know why you brought those article titles up. This is a simple English grammar issue that does not "keep changing", not a wikiproject guideline, and it is quite easy to keep up. It is not necessary for every instance of "mayor", "governor", "senator", or "president" to be capitalized, even when used as "mayor of City", etc. or even as "former governor Name." These edits are not helping. Reywas92^Talk 23:58, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
