Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, TomasNotThomas. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{help me}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
Again, welcome! Whpq (talk) 19:01, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

[edit] Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Steal This Album!, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and/or verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. Robvanvee 16:05, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, TomasNotThomas!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

[edit] Please refrain from adding, removing or changing genres, as you did to King Kong (American band), without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. Robvanvee 18:08, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Junior World Orienteering Championships, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kocaeli (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

[edit]Geoglyphs and crop circles
[edit]Hello, I just wanted to send a message to let you know that I removed the "See also" link to Crop circle on the Geoglyph article. Crop circles fall more in line with pranks, fringe science or land art than with geogylphs. Please do not take this to mean that your contributions to the encyclopedia are not welcome, they are!

[edit] Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Nepean High School (Ottawa), 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. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:44, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
