R44 (New York City Subway car)[edit]

Can you please stop with your disruptive editing on that article? If you see inaccurate information in terms of how many cars are in service or where they serve, do not change it directly on the article, but fix it on Template:NYCS const instead. If you do not know how to fix it there, ask someone from Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation to fix it for you, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.198.184.12 (talk) 17:57, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet date changes[edit]

Hello, I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, but you didn't provide a reliable source. The sourced content has been restored. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial. Check the sources cited first before changing sourced content. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:38, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

June 2019[edit]

Your recent editing history at Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

September 2019[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Boeing C-40 Clipper, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made 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 "publish changes" 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. Thank you. Archer1234 (talk) 03:08, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Boeing 757. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. This is at least the second time you have changed the image without first discussing it on the talk page as the comment in the text asks. Please open a discussion on the talk page about changing the image. You may very well get consensus for your proposed change. Archer1234 (talk) 04:42, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

R44 Total Count[edit]

You have in several instances undone edits stating that 62 R44s remain in service on SIR, as opposed to 63. At least it is agreed that car 402 is gone. However, many recent images, including this one uploaded directly to Wikipedia [1] with EXIF data indicating a recent time stamp, show that car 466 is also not returning to service any time soon. Please refrain from undoing such edits. If you choose to do so, at least leave a reason for why you are undoing edits stating that 62 cars remain.

Image change on aircraft articles[edit]

Hello @Mhayes3:. As I'm sure you noticed, the main image changes you made on multiple aircraft articles have been reverted. To change the main image, it is customary to discuss the change first on the talk page of the article and gain consensus first. If you don't, your changes will be reverted. For example you tried to change the image on the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet article 4 times. And 4 times it was reverted. So continuing to do so is at best counterproductive and at worst will be interpreted as edit warring which will likely get you blocked from editing. I'm sure you'll understand that the best option is to use the talk page. Thank you --McSly (talk) 01:47, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk:Boeing_777#Request_for_new_photo for a current example of such process. --McSly (talk) 02:25, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

October 2019[edit]

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your image was inserted successfully on the page Assault Amphibious Vehicle, but because it appeared to be irrelevant to the article or violated the image use policy, it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you.

March 2020[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)

I noticed your recent edit to Staten Island University Hospital does not have an edit summary. 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. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. I have reverted your entire edit because you did not explain what was wrong with the edits. Please use an edit summary next time. epicgenius (talk) 00:57, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours to prevent you from persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. 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 ~~~~}}. -- ferret (talk) 01:10, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Oknazevad. An edit that you recently made to Uniforms of the United States Navy seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want to practice editing, please use the sandbox.

Please stop trying and failing to change the image when you don't know how it works. oknazevad (talk) 15:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
