April 2010[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Henry Wilcoxon has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Tommy2010 20:02, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Travis Banton. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 20:04, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Henry Wilcoxon. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Binksternet (talk) 20:04, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
September 2010[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article William Hopper, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Diannaa (Talk) 06:38, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
January 2012 - J. Searle Dawley[edit]
I have reverted your additions to this article as they are entirely lifted from Dawley's IMDB biography.[1] In fact, the only original contribution here appears to be paragraph breaks that did not appear in the original biography.
Please review WP:Plagiarism to see how to properly incorporate material into Wikipedia articles. Grandpallama (talk) 19:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello. I don't quite know where you mean "repeated". Please note, information should be briefly summarised in the lead section and expanded upon in the main body of the article. Essentially, notable information should be given twice; one in the lead and again in the body. Cheers. -- CassiantoTalk 21:27, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

December 2016[edit]
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or 
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. —Skyllfully (talk | contribs) 03:20, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 26[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Edward Buzzell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Child of Manhattan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)
