25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello! I'm Secretlondon. I just wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) have been reverted because they appear to have added incorrect information. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source ↗, discuss it on the article's talk page, or leave me a message on my talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-error1 --> Secretlondon (talk) 23:09, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

:::Oh, you're talking about the edits on Alan Becker's article? I was just going by the information on the page that said he graduated high school in 2007 and thought the birthday may have been a typo, but anyways thanks for letting know my mistake and I can assure it won't happen again without first consulting the talk page.

Ambyr Childers ↗ edits



I have reverted your addition of content to Ambyr Childers ↗ because the changes were not sourced. Providing citations to reliable published sources is a basic principle for all Wikipedia articles. (Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources ↗.) In the case of a biography of a living person, additional policies apply. (Please see WP:BLPPRIVACY ↗ and WP:DON'T PRESERVE ↗.)

I appreciate your efforts to improve the article, but addition of content is an improvement only when it is properly sourced. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:09, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

:Alright I understand, the information details in early life section just seemed relevant to the article after previously being deleted, but you are right since they were unsourced, I'll make sure to check and look out for that next time. Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 01:16, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
::Thanks for understanding. I should add that sources that are user-generated are not reliable for use in Wikipedia articles. WP:USERGENERATED ↗ lists some of those, such as IMDb. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:37, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics


{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''discussions about infoboxes ↗, and edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'', you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> M.Bitton (talk) 15:08, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=|link= ↗ Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have '''automatically detected''' that this edit ↗ performed by you, on the page :List of designated terrorist groups ↗, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

Pointless copyedits



Edits like these ↗ to Union (American Civil War) ↗ are not helpful, and are usually the opposite. Either you are pointlessly rephrasing the same points using more words, or you are adding your own characterizations of events without any reference to cited sources. That is your original research ↗, and Wikipedia does not publish original research. <span style="border-radius:2px;padding:3px;background:#1E816F"><span style="color:#fff">'''Remsense'''</span><span style="color:#fff">&nbsp;🌈&nbsp;</span><span lang="zh" style="color:#fff">'''论'''</span></span> 02:25, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Naval arms race



I undid this edit ↗ as I don't believe historians have characterized the pre-WWII naval buildup as a naval arms race. Do you have any sources that say it was? Thanks, Ed&nbsp;<sup>[talk]&nbsp;[OMT ↗]</sup> 15:26, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

:We'll have seen some historians and other material sources on the matter characterize as something along the lines an arms race but would need to search a reference in historical sources that describes it as such. Cockfightermaster1969 (talk) 01:05, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Government ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cambridge Dictionary ↗.

Hi friend. I appreciate you trying to help with the U.S. Wars/ Conflict pages, but...



This is actually a wider series of article 1 main index article and 6 list articles. '''I personally do not mind, but could you please change all 7 to reflect this?''' Dasomm and I are the main guys who work on the article at this point. There were more, but we are the only 2 consistent editors anymore on these pages.

Note 1 on the index article goes over the longstanding consensus on wars/ conflicts etc. Nothing precluding your changes in fact, it may be better, though I want to hear Dasomm's thoughts.

Lists of wars involving the United States#Notes ↗

Also side note for consistency you may or may not want to do the same for the UK Index articles and its Wars/ Conflicts.

Lists of wars involving the United Kingdom ↗ as well as the List of wars involving England ↗ and List of wars involving Scotland ↗. Not sure what they will think of it over there my friend, I do not work on that set as much except on occasion.

I want to emphasize that I appreciate you being bold ↗, and trying to help. This is something to be encouraged. (: Historyguy1138 (talk) 23:09, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Notice regarding page moves


25px ↗ Please stop moving articles without prior discussion, as you did recently. On Wikipedia, renaming or moving established pages—especially if the move could be controversial—should generally not be done unilaterally.

Instead, the correct procedure is to build consensus by proposing a **Requested Move** on the article's talk page. Unilateral moves can disrupt links, break incoming search traffic, and create confusion for other editors.


Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Dasomm (talk) 23:48, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
