25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello! Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to Luxair ↗! However, adding a bare URL ↗ is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot ↗. It is preferable to use proper citation templates ↗ when citing sources ↗, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation ↗. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{tl|cite web}} template to cite a web page:
: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.</syntaxhighlight>
which displays ''inline ↗'' in the running text of the article as:
:Lorem ipsum{{fake ref|1}} dolor sit amet.
and displays under '''References''' as:
#^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac ↗". ''Ask a Question''. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.
If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: try the Citer tool ↗, or in the wikitext editor ↗, try the reFill tool ↗, and in the Visual Editor ↗, the reference dialog ↗ can convert some bare urls into a full citation.
Once again, thanks for adding references to articles.  Danners430 tweaks made ↗ 13:54, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

:@Angryskies you’ve got two separate notes on your talk page about using bare URLs, from some time ago - why are you still adding them? Danners430 tweaks made ↗ 17:13, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Danners430. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, :Edinburgh Airport ↗, but you didn't provide a reliable source ↗. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable ↗. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation ↗, your edit is archived in the page history ↗. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  Danners430 tweaks made ↗ 23:42, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

April 2026

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Zackmann08. I noticed that you recently removed content ↗ from :Bedlam Theatre ↗ without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary ↗. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page ↗. Thanks. '''Zackmann''' (Talk to me ↗/What I been doing ↗) 03:51, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Hounding accusation

I could also say that you yourself are guilty of WP:HOUNDING ↗ as you appear to have a tendency to follow me around and add "UK" to the infobox of companies or other entities. This is some undertaking and I seriously question both the need for it and relevance? Goodreg3 (talk) 21:28, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Piped links

Please don’t add unnecessary piped links - per WP:NOPIPE ↗, unpiped redirects are preferred to piped direct links. Danners430 tweaks made ↗ 14:27, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
