If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

What? They did not appear constructive? I say they were. It's a true that Google Maps are very bad and inaccurate. Look at Greenland here- just a look at a sharpy straight coastlines or weird names should know you I've got true. Thanks. 78.1.5.61 (talk) 17:46, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

78.1.5.61, this is probably what should have been used as a talk page "warning":

Repeated non-constructive edits

Just because your belief in Google Maps's inaccuracy is supported by evidence doesn't mean it can be introduced in a nonconstructive way. If you were, perhaps, to dig up a few essays from trustworthy sources discussing its inaccuracy, create a new section on the article, and provide a well-written summary of the entire affair, your edits would surely stick. However, introducing random sentences, at random locations in the article, about its inaccuracy adds nothing at all to the article, and serves only to destroy well-written paragraphs while replacing them with nothing. If you don't feel up to this, flag the article as incomplete and wait for someone else to come clean it up, but don't just violate every rule of the community out of a need to prove a point. 81.129.82.170 (talk) 12:52, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
