25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia ↗. I noticed that your recent edit to :Thato Dithebe ↗ did not have an edit summary ↗. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit 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}}
'''Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make.''' With a 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 --> DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at :Elaine (other use) ↗, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary ↗.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Versace1608. I noticed that you recently removed content ↗ from :Asake ↗ 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 ↗.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi, and thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into :Linda Mtoba ↗. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move ↗", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history ↗, which is legally required for attribution ↗. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits ↗, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab ↗ at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu ↗ for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect ↗ from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves ↗ to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge ↗. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove --> <span style="font-size:1.2em;font-family:eurofurence;background:#368ec9;color:white">Jalen Barks</span> <span style="background:#6babd6;color:black">(Woof)</span> 16:22, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, Itumeleng Kingsley. We welcome ↗ your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about ↗ on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest ↗ (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the '''conflict of interest guideline ↗''' and '''FAQ for article subjects ↗''' for more information. We ask that you:
- '''avoid editing or creating''' articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- '''propose changes''' on the talk pages ↗ of affected articles (you can use the {{tl|edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources ↗ that support your suggestions;
- '''disclose''' your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see {{Section link|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI}});
- '''avoid linking''' to your organization's website in other articles (see {{Section link|Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming}});
- '''do your best''' to comply with Wikipedia's content policies ↗.
In addition, you are '''required''' by the Wikimedia Foundation ↗'s terms of use ↗ to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure ↗.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.<!-- THE FOLLOWING CATEGORY SHOULD BE REMOVED IF THE USER IS BLOCKED, OR IT IS DECIDED THAT THIS USER DOES NOT HAVE A COI, OR THIS TEMPLATE HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR A WHILE WITH NO ACTION. -->{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: U | now}} - 1741800250) < 13150000 | {{PAGENAME}} ↗ | }}<!-- Template:uw-coi --> DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:24, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Proposed deletion ↗ of :Untitled Meet The Parents Fourth Film ↗
left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗
The article :Untitled Meet The Parents Fourth Film ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''The film is not shooting and there's already a more refined draft article ready to be published'''</blockquote>
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons ↗.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, the speedy deletion ↗ process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> KingArti (talk) 22:20, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
:The film has been announced to start filming as soon as they wrap up casting. And if there is a refined draft article ready to be published it can be merged with the already existing article. Wikipedia is not a competitive journalism site ;it's an informative site that aims to help readers with a useful Information. Deleting The article because someone else has published a "BETTER REFINED ARTICLE" does not go as according to the Wikipedia standards. I suggest article improvement to any author with useful information relating to the article than deletion.

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Candice Modiselle ↗

A tag has been placed on :Candice Modiselle ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement ↗. This page appears to be a direct copy from tvsa.co.za/actors/viewactor.aspx?actorid=17928. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators '''will be blocked from editing ↗'''.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials ↗. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission ↗ for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy ↗ for more details, or ask a question here ↗.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> Uncle Bash007 (talk) 11:48, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
:The article has recently been edited independently with prior editing skills that has published more articles on Wikipedia. The article on TVSA might have similar words but that shouldn't count as copied but can be considered as Similar articles based on the same person. If some lines and sentences are the same they could indicate that the article is based on valid and verifiable sources. I please beg for other editors to compare both article and verify it;before my contributions goes to waste Itumeleng Kingsley (talk) 12:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
::At the time of requesting the speedy deletion, the article was ''verbatim'' copy of the online source, with the exception of one single sentence which had been slightly reworded. We take a very strict line with copyright violations, for the simple reason that they are ''against the law''. And once this violation has been discovered, you should at least own up to it and undertake not to repeat it, but instead you are arguing that it wasn't a violation at all. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:33, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
