25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm PEPSI697. I noticed that you recently removed content ↗ from :Jeanette Nolan ↗ 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. PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 ↗ 05:55, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

:Hi Pepsi. I was not experimenting. You may notice that the original Wikipedia entry, which I gather you wrote much of, was listed by Wikipedia for having excess information. Most of these entries belong in her filmography, not written in the body of the discussion. The opening paragraph had a grammatical error, which I corrected. Glm1 (talk) 06:03, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
::Sorry, now I get what you mean, I didn't scroll down further. Would you like me to self revert the edit revert I did? PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 ↗ 06:23, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
:::We can work together on it, or you can self-revert, or I can do it and then we can talk about it. Whatever you'd like. (I was in the midst of fixing a couple of show titles -- I'd botched the Italics while making the edit, and I hadn't caught it on the preview screen.) Glm1 (talk) 06:57, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Oak Ridge Boys ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Compilation ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi Glm1! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. "Minor edit ↗" has a specific definition on Wikipedia: it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections ↗ or reverting obvious vandalism ↗. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you.  FMSky (talk) 12:17, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi FMSky! To which edit do you refer? Glm1 (talk) 16:00, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
::Hi, your edit history shows that every single edit you ever made was marked as minor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Glm1 --FMSky (talk) 16:01, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Yes, but are you referring to one specifically, or are you simply informing me -- and I was not aware of it until now -- that there are differences in edits? Glm1 (talk) 16:04, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
::::Yeah it was just meant as a general note --FMSky (talk) 16:06, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::OK, thank you for letting me know, and I will reevaluate my use of the edit key. Most of my edits are correcting typos, poor sentence structure, fixing misleading remarks, and so forth. Glm1 (talk) 16:08, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thanks for contributing to the article :Ovaltine ↗. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable ↗ through reliable sources ↗, preferably using inline citations ↗. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here ↗ for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia ↗, or ask at the Teahouse ↗, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 09:48, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

:Hi Dormskirk. Both the Statlers and the song in question have their own articles on Wikipedia. As the song is not about Ovaltine, it should not be necessary to extend the point. If namechecking a brand in one line of a well-known song requires citing when the song has its own article here, we may face the need to put a citation next to almost any word in an article in order to link to a definition, or to justify its usage in a given context. Thanks.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Roger Whittaker ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.
Thank you. '''Zackmann''' (Talk to me ↗/What I been doing ↗) 05:44, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

:To clarify, I didn’t add any parameters to the infobox. I removed the alias field because “Rog Whittaker” was only used on a couple of early Fontana singles. Per MOS:INFOBOX and MOS:ALIASES, one‑off or trivial billings aren't normally included in the infobox, and the article already covers the Fontana singles using the existing citation. I used preview to confirm everything was correct before posting. As this is a content decision based upon the style guidelines, I anticipate nothing further on the matter. Glm1 (talk) 09:44, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
::None of what you just stated is true... you changed {{para|alias}} to {{para|also billed as}}. Alias is a valid parameter. Also billed as is not. Had you actually previewed your edit you would have seen that. '''Zackmann''' (Talk to me ↗/What I been doing ↗) 16:43, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
