ArbCom 2017 election voter message

Hello, Chadply. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December.

Information icon Hello, I'm AWhiteC. An edit that you recently made to Jonathan Israel seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox.

Your recent edits

[edit]

Hi Chadply, edits like this and this aren't helpful. "See also" is reserved for topics closely connected to the subject of the article. I see you've been making a lot of that kind of edit. While we definitely welcome your interest in Wikipedia, it's important not to make edits that will cause extra work for others. Many thanks, SarahSV (talk) 19:57, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with your custom signature

[edit]

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm RenatUK. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Russia–United States relations, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Renat 19:13, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

[edit]

I notice that none of your additions are sourced. Your typical edit adds your thoughts to an article, oftentimes they seems plausible and on-topic. But never sourced. Wikipedia relies for its credibility on reliable sourcing. I have added cite-needed to a few, reverted a few. But generally speaking if your contributions are to improve the articles, they need to be sourced. -- M.boli (talk) 18:35, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at British Overseas Territories, you may be blocked from editing.

Hello,

I am new to wiki editing and I was wondering what you edited from Carbon Offset page. I just would like to know to become a better editor.

Important Notice

[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in climate change. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
