- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue on the article's talk page ↗. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus ↗.
- Always use edit summaries ↗ to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source ↗.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide ↗ and disclose your connection.

- A bare URL ↗ and missing title ↗ error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference.

Adding sources
The source you added in this edit ↗ is completely irrelevant to the topic. Can you advise which section of the source you believe is relevant, or are you just adding random sources to articles? <span style="color: orange;">Number</span> <span style="color: green;">5</span><span style="color: blue;">7</span> ↗ 17:27, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
:I wasn't adding a random source, by the time it was opening i realized it didn't have history from the 1930s as by the main article but only 2024 political data, and instead of cancelling i published it. It was a genuine mistake not me 'just adding random sources to articles' . thanks Ni1993 Xiao (talk) 18:18, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
::I'm not sure I believe this. Regarding this ↗ addition, can you explain where in the source it says that the Liberal Party did not nominate a candidate or that Cope received over 85% of the vote? And re this one ↗, can you explain where the source states that the hindwings are plain yellow? Re one ↗, where in the source does it say that it is known from Guatemala and Mexico? <span style="color: orange;">Number</span> <span style="color: green;">5</span><span style="color: blue;">7</span> ↗ 19:35, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Mirrors
25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thanks for contributing to the article Janowice, Łowicz County ↗. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable ↗ and attributed to reliable sources ↗. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored ↗, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference ↗ and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia ↗ or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page ↗, or just ask me. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-refimprove --> ''Sam '''Kuru''' (talk) ↗'' 18:42, 14 November 2025 (UTC) <br clear="both">
:Thanks Sam, I'll rectify that Ni1993 Xiao (talk) 19:44, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
::Again, here ↗, here ↗, here ↗, here ↗, and here ↗. Dbpedia scrapes content from here and clearly indicates this at the bottom of the page; this is the exact site I warned you about above. Alchetron and encyclo are also simple mirrors that copy articles wholesale and notes this at the bottom of the copied pages. Loquis is an AI scraper that often copies from here as well. Please slow down and carefully evaluate the sources you are using - I can see several other instances where editors are correcting unreliable sources.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Carlos Augusto de Oliveira ↗ 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.<!-- User:Zackmann08/uw/Unknown-params-warning --> '''<span style="color:#00d5ff !important">Zack</span><span style="color:#007F94 !important">mann</span>''' (<sup>Talk to me ↗</sup>/<sub><span style="color:orange !important">What I been doing</span> ↗</sub>) 04:34, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2017–18 Eastern Illinois Panthers men's basketball team ↗, a link pointing to the disambiguation page West Division ↗ was added. 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>
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 06:07, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Instinctools ↗

A tag has been placed on :Instinctools ↗, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam ↗ and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations ↗ for more information.
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 ↗. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Instinctools|deleting administrator}}. <!-- Template:Db-spam-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> MediaKyle (talk) 18:06, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

<div class="afd-notice">
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0;">48px|alt=|link= ↗</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article :Instinctools ↗ is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗ or whether it should be deleted ↗.
