Disambiguation link notification for March 13



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Star Wars: Battlefront ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wookie ↗ ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Star_Wars:_Battlefront check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Star_Wars:_Battlefront?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

Plot expansion



Hi, General Clanker. Please stop excessively expanding plot sections of articles, as you have done with ''Grand Theft Auto IV'', ''The Ballad of Gay Tony'', ''Liberty City Stories'', ''San Andreas'', ''Bully'', and several others. The Manual of Style ↗ states that {{xt|"Plot sections should generally be no more than approximately 700 words, to retain focus."}} You have ignored several warnings about this, and are now disruptively editing ↗. – <span style="color: #008;">'''''Rhain'''''</span> ☔ 12:59, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

25px ↗ This a warning to please stop excessively expanding plot sections of articles concerning video games. You have been advised about this, and must now heed this. If you wish to know how to handle these articles, please refer to MOS:VG ↗. GUtt01 (talk) 08:42, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
: 25px ↗ This is a moderate warning to please stop excessively expanding plot sections of articles concerning video games. Please heed this advice - leave these articles alone, and only work on them to fix errors in terms of grammar, spelling, and so forth. If you should wish to work on the plot sections, try using your Sandbox, as stated in WP:ABOUTSAND ↗. GUtt01 (talk) 18:14, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

:{{Ping|Rhain|GUtt01}} Seeing as to how you two are the ones to criticize my work the most (this is not a complain, I understand why you do it, so don't take it personally), I wanted to let you know that i made a version of the plot summaries for GTA 4 and San Andreas I have in mind in my sandbox. You may take a look and judge. If you want, of course.
::{{reply|General Clanker}} If you'd like to see my suggestions for your version of the ''San Andreas'' plot, see {{diff2|949065084|here}}. As I've mentioned before, I think your version mentions too many characters who are not relevant to the overarching narrative, including OG Loc, Ken Rosenberg, and Salvatore Leone. The entire casino heist storyline is optional within the game, so its inclusion within the main plot seems completely unnecessary. I think your version of the ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' plot suffers from the same issues too. – <span style="color: #008;">'''''Rhain'''''</span> ☔ 14:19, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

:::32px|left ↗ You have been given enough warnings about your edits. Now heed this one, CAREFULLY! Per WP:BRD ↗, if you are having your edits reverted over a dispute on an article, go to the article's talk page and discuss it with the other editor(s) involved. If you continue to not heed warnings and learn to understand what other editors are telling you, you may find yourself receiving severe warnings over disruptive editing. Heed what Rhain is telling you, and use your Sandbox for test edits; if you are having your edits reverted, understand the reasoning, and consider taking it either to discussion for debate, or dropping the matter.

Wikipedia and copyright


30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon ↗ Hello General Clanker, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to :Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005 video game) ↗ have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain ↗ or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible ↗ copyright license. (''To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission ↗''.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright ↗ and plagiarism ↗ issues.


It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked ↗ from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-copyright-new --> -- ferret (talk ↗) 18:00, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
:16 KB of quotation is far too excessive and skirts the line of copyright violation. I've reverted your edits here and revdel'd them.

Plot Expansion vs. Reasons for Wikipedia's existence



Hi, I just want to advise you that is not often wise to expand a plot of a fictional medium (video game, TV program, film, or book/comic) for a number of reasons. First, adding further details that are excessive are not helpful, especially if doesn't add more to the context of information given to help viewers understand the story, or overloads that context. Secondly, some major series have Wikis dedicated to this sort of information, and as such, any considerable details are more suited for these, than within Wikipedia, which is aimed at being a more generalised encyclopedia for various articles, including those on fictional works of art. Take a read of WP:VG/PLOT ↗ to understand the guidelines surrounding plot sections for video game articles. GUtt01 (talk) 12:52, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Excessive Details.



Hi there. Please understand that I am not actively targeting you out of spite or some malicious desire. I am just simply looking out for Wikipedia and other Wikipedians in general. I'm doing my best to uphold Wikipedia's rules such as WP:CMOS#PLOT ↗ and WP:TRIVIA ↗, but your edits are making that difficult for me. I get that you want to make sure readers are as well informed as possible, but they don't need to know every single little detail about a piece of media or character nor does it need to be worded in such a long-winded, unprofessional fashion. Your edits tend to be on the unprofessional side, using jargon that adults would use in a casual sense instead of a professional one. Once again, I'm not targeting you specifically, and I apologize if it feels like that. It's just that there are hundreds of editors who feel the need to put in every single detail they can just because they think it's important, and I do this to them as well because they're either knowingly or unknowingly violating Wikipedia's rules. I'm just making sure the information is as concise as possible with as little words as possible. No useless filler or fat, just the meat of it all. Once more, I'm sorry if it feels like I've been picking on you. I'm just doing my best to keep Wikipedia neutral, professional, and concise. On a similar but sort of unrelated note, I also recommend using the "Show preview" button so you can iron out typos before someone else catches them. Blazewing16 (talk) 04:49, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
: Addendum: I undid your edit to Ghost ↗ because it was in violation of WP:CMOS#PLOT ↗, and I had just condensed the information that was already there. Have you ever worked hard on something, only for someone else to come in and ruin it? That's how I felt when you added all that fancruft ↗ to Ghost's page. Not only that, you straight up copied the information from Ava Starr's section of the List of Marvel Characters page and pasted it into Ghost's film section like some student cheating on an important paper by copy/pasting someone else's information and passing it off as their own with little to no modification or acknowledgement. That is not okay. In fact, it's tantamount to plagiarism. I can't recall the rule forbidding that off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure you can't just copy/paste information from one Wikipedia page to another and just leave it at that. You have to state the information in your own words. I apologize for being negative towards you again, but I cannot abide by your most recent work and I want to make sure you can continue using Wikipedia without getting in trouble for breaking the rules. Please be more careful of your edits and please read WP:CMOS#PLOT ↗, WP:TRIVIA ↗, WP:FANCRUFT ↗, and WP:CONCISE ↗. Blazewing16 (talk) 01:02, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Discovery Tour discussion


Hi Clanker. I've started a discussion on ''Assassin's Creed Odyssey'''s talk page ↗ regarding the inclusion of references to the Discovery Tour and would appreciate your input. -- Jasca'''Ducato''' <small>(talk &#124; contributions ↗)</small> 12:45, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Original research and sourcing



Hi. I've noticed from some of your past edits that you have a tendency to add prose to articles not explicitly stated by the sources. For example, in your expansion of the history section in ''Assassin's Creed ↗'' earlier this year, you have given numerous details that are not mentioned in the source used. This is a violation of WP:OR ↗; please also be aware of WP:SYNTH ↗, in that you must not combine details from a source to reach a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source. Such material needs to either be backed up by reliable sources, or alternatively—if this is not possibled—not mentioned at all. I appreciate that you want to further benefit articles by providing more information, however any material added that is likely to be questioned needs to be sufficiently sourced (also note that linking to other articles that backs up what you are adding is not a sufficient method of sourcing). Wikibenboy94 (talk) 17:47, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

:Same thing on Tyr ↗, this is Wikipedia, not a video game fandom site. You're free to add such details on those, but they are undue on articles about mythology figures. TylerBurden (talk) 07:39, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

:{{Ping|General Clanker}} This still seems to be happening, particularly with summarising a game's reception summary in the lead when the sources in the article don't appear to have been taken in account. Wikibenboy94 (talk) 15:09, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

November 2025



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia ↗. I noticed that your recent edit to :Assassin's Creed Shadows ↗ did not have an edit summary ↗. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary ↗, or by discussion on the talk page ↗. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit and/or to describe what it changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief ↗.

The edit summary field looks like this:
{{Edit summary field/OOUI}}

or in the visual editor:
{{Edit summary field/VisualEditor}}

{{strong|Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make.}} When logged in to your Wikipedia account ↗, you can give yourself a reminder by setting {{myprefs|3|check={{int:tog-forceeditsummary}}}}, and then click the "{{int:saveprefs}}" button.
Thanks!{{sp}}<!-- Template:uw-editsummary --> Sariel Xilo (talk) 17:19, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
