Pythagoreanism[edit]

That's an impressive start. One small nitpick, though: the whole contribution is based on (essentially) a single source. Kleuske (talk) 16:12, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am working on it.

I was starting from a low base with the influence section. --DroidBishop (talk) 16:20, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 31[edit]

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

Removal of hatnote tags on top of articles?[edit]

Hello DroidBishop, please do not remove hatnote tags and other templates (like short description, protection tags, etc.) on top of articles, unless the tags have been redundant or outdated of course. Such templates on top of an article are valid article elements (see also MOS:LAYOUT). I have restored the article tags in your last 3 edited articles (for example: [1]), but please double-check earlier edits in other articles for similar problems (maybe a problem with your editor?). In case these edits were intentional, please let me know. GermanJoe (talk) 11:37, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

thanks--DroidBishop (talk) 07:10, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And again, you have removed them without explanation at Confidentiality, Anonymity, Suggestion box, Virtual reality, Identity theft, Selfie (disambiguation) and Electronic tagging. Please explain why you removed them, and restore them where they haven't already been restored. Sjö (talk) 12:46, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

they are not needed --DroidBishop (talk) 12:46, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yes they are. They are helpful to readers and editors and including them is accepted standard at Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Hatnote and Wikipedia:Short description. Sjö (talk) 12:52, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop removing templates from the top of the articles. If you don't know what they are for, at least trust that they are placed in many articles because editors think they are useful and community consensus is that they should be included. Sjö (talk) 14:16, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

About this edit: please see Template:EngvarB and Template:Use dmy dates for explanations of why these templates are useful. Please note the bolded text that includes "Therefore, do not remove the template without valid reason". Sjö (talk) 14:46, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of other templates[edit]

When you [2] removed Template:Harvp from Belem Prison you messed up the references as you can se in the "References" section in the edit link. If you don't understand templates (the parts between {{ }} ) and don't know why they are there or how they work, don't remove them or change them! If you have removed Harvp templates or similar templates from other articles please restore them in order to fix your own mistakes. Sjö (talk) 08:00, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

July 2019[edit]

Hello, I'm Sjö. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Telescreen in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Sjö (talk) 16:26, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In this edit many, perhaps all, of the links you removed were not at all blogs, but linked to reliable sources. Using misleading edit comments is usually seen as disruptive editing, something that is not accepted at Wikipedia. Sjö (talk) 07:40, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be confused about what "wikify" is. Please read this link: WP:Wikify for an explanation and don't describe massive changes as "wikified". Sjö (talk) 08:24, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Confidentiality, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 22:19, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Port Arthur, Tasmania, you may be blocked from editing. You removed sourced content like population, an infobox and the dmy and Australian English tags at the top of the page. I also see that you still call massive deletions wikifying. Sjö (talk) 18:52, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Caroline Leakey. Dl2000 (talk) 21:37, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Sjö (talk) 18:01, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. 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 ~~~~}}. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:32, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

September 2019[edit]
