New message to WikiCorrector5241


Please keep in mind that {{tlx|plainlist}} and {{tlx|unbulleted list}} are equivalent, and there is no reason to make edits that only swap out one for the other. Moreover, purely cosmetic edits ↗ can be disruptive. Otherwise, welcome and thanks for your contributions. <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> 23:28, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

30px|link= ↗ You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war ↗. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate ↗ with others, to avoid editing disruptively ↗, and to try to reach a consensus ↗, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;'''
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page ↗ to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard ↗ or seek dispute resolution ↗. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection ↗. If you engage in an edit war, you '''may be blocked ↗ from editing.''' <!-- Template:uw-ew --> Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 14:37, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions ↗, such as the edit(s) you made to :Guglielmo Marconi ↗, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted ↗. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines ↗. You can find information about these at our welcome page ↗ which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia ↗. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page ↗. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-disruptive1 --> <span style="color:#8AB800">'''''DANGA14'''''</span><sup><span style="color:#50C878">'''''talk'''''</span></sup> 21:06, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

recent edit



you reverted to a capital letter on a sentence fragment.

I'll fix it for you Augmented Seventh (talk) 19:49, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Your edits



I've seen some of your edits in which you have ambiguated a person's field of study. Please refrain from making such edits unless there are reliable sources that do so or consensus is in favor of ambiguity. ZergTwo (talk) 17:22, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

Template:Infobox electronic component



This ↗ may be a good add but '''"manufacturer"''' is to vague. Current manufacturers? ''first manufacturer''?. The parameter in a template has to have a universal logical use. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 20:01, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

April 2025 Reverted Edits & Advice



20px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello {{u|InfoboxEditor26}}.
:I noticed you edited :C. V. Raman ↗ including editing the Infobox for education (adding a high school) and for alma_mater (adding an institution from which he did not graduate). Your edits were not constructive and I have manually reverted ↗ them. With experience you should note the Infoboxes for biographies do not include high schools and do not include institutions from which the subjects did not graduate (except in exceptionally and extraordinarily rare circumstances where there is editors' consensus before the edit is made). C.V. Raman is designated a good article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_articles* ↗ by Wikipedia and is an example for both of these before you made your edits. Some of the precepts are included in MOS:INFOEDU ↗ & Template:Infobox person#Parameters ↗ / education / alma mater where it is noted '''"It is usually not relevant to include either parameter for non-graduates''', but article {{Font color|green|talk page '''consensus ''may'''''}} conclude otherwise..." and "{{Font color|green|institution of '''higher education'''}} ('''not secondary schools''')". If you have provided the same edit or edits for other articles, please revert them. Sometimes editors, specially new editors like you, are not aware of the Wikipedia precepts and inadvertently edit in violation.
:Thank you for providing an edit summary ↗ although we would have liked your summary to have included a brief summary of all your edits, not just some. According to Wikipedia's consensus policy ↗, all edits should be explained —either by clear edit summaries, or by discussion on the associated talk page. The summaries ↗ are very helpful to people browsing an article's history. Summaries help other editors by (a) providing a reason for the edit, (b) saving the time to open up the edit to find out what it's all about, and (c) providing information about the edit on diff ↗ pages and lists of changes (such as page histories ↗ and watchlists ↗). Many who are ignorant of the Wikipedia policy on edit summaries fail to add them. Some ignore this basic brief task; however, failure seems arrogant and inconsiderate specially since summaries are so easy to add.
Thank you in advance for your compliance and future good editing. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 01:28, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Academic tree



I draw your attention to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#academictree.org ↗: Academic tree is user-generated content ↗ and should not be used as a reference in articles. <span style="color:#800082">Hawkeye7</span> <span style="font-size:80%">(discuss)</span> ↗ 20:32, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

Infobox fields: "Parents" vs. "Father" & "Mother" fields



Based on your username, it seems that you take special interest in infoboxes (I haven't looked through your edit history to validate).<br>
I would like to ask you a question about this edit you made to the Greta Thunberg article ↗:<br>
Is using the "parents" field preferable to using the "father" & "mother" fields?<br>
The only difference I can see is that using the "father" & "mother" fields places the parenthetic words "(father)" and "(mother)" into the infobox. While this wouldn't really matter for English names in which the names are gender specific, in the case of the edit in question, the names are Swedish, so I would think the reader would benefit from the parenthetical "(father)" and "(mother)".<br>
I therefore added these parenthetical words ↗ into the "parent" field to mimic the output when using the "father" & "mother" fields.<br>
Any thoughts? Green Montanan (talk) 20:50, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Your edits



I am going to revert all your edits on scientists. Some people have spent time to edit only for you to reedit according to your desires.

September 2025



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia ↗. I noticed that your recent edit to :Guglielmo Marconi ↗ 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.

2026 {{para|Infobox scientist}} to {{para|Infobox academic}} changes and MOS ↗ violations



Hello InfoboxEditor26. '''Please do not unilaterally alter the infoboxes of dozens of science biographies as you have been doing the past two months''' by changing their infobox from {{para|Infobox scientist}} to {{para|Infobox academic}} and '''altering the design of those parameters contrary to the Manual of Style ↗'''. I have reverted the majority of your infobox alterations and reformatting. For example, in numerous edits (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Willard_Boyle&diff=prev&oldid=1354326521 ↗ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frits_Zernike&diff=prev&oldid=1351885979 ↗ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_Victor_Appleton&diff=prev&oldid=1350394997 ↗, and numerous others) you alter the {{Parameter|education}} parameter to restate the attended university two, three, or more times per each degree. This is contrary to the official documentation of the template's parameters — please see the documentation of {{para|education}} as listed in Template:Infobox person ↗. '''If you wish to suggest changes to the design or documentation of these parameters, then please begin a discussion at the respective template pages,''' e.g. at Template:Infobox scientist ↗. '''Do not, however, begin unilaterally changing the infoboxes against their parameter's documented design'''. <span style="text-shadow:#9C51B6 0em 0em 1em"><span style="font-family:Courier;color:#00008b"><b>Jay-GH</b></span></span> 06:58, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
