June 2018

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Jessica Carter, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 23:54, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Caroline Weir, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:40, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Caroline Weir. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mattythewhite (talk) 21:52, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Caroline Weir. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:12, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Emily Allen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Forward (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:15, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Refs on squad additions

Hi there, thanks for your contributions. Could I just ask that you double-check that the refs look OK before adding please? I have now had to fix several entries added to the squad list at West Ham United L.F.C.. Using the preview function will show you if it's OK (if the added reference contains red text, then it's not quite right). Your common mistake appears to be not closing the ref tag properly (note that the end of the line should look like "refurl}}</ref>}}", with two sets of curly brackets). Could you also include the full URL of the reference, rather than just linking to https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/ please? Generic links aren't very helpful beyond the immediate present. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 11:53, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Brianna Visalli

I have moved your article to Draft:Brianna Visalli until such time as you have found some references. Deb (talk) 15:07, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

{{Updated}}

Why on earth do you keep changing that when there's not been any other updates? What possible benefit is there? Make meaningful edits. Keep changing the last updated line every few days is just annoying. -- KTC (talk) 19:38, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I second this sentiment. Please stop doing that. Are you trying to get your edit count up or something? Nzd (talk) 20:14, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I see that you have been continung to do this. If there is something you are trying to achieve that I'm not understanding, please let me know. Maybe I can help. However, when other editors have advised against doing something, and you continue the practice, that starts to become a problem.

I think you could be a great editor here. I have often seen you make valid and useful changes, but your previous blocks and apparent reticence to communicate suggest that you could be in line for further problems. Please do take the time to listen to other editors when they are trying to guide you. Again, I'm happy to help with anything you need. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 11:50, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. Snowflake91 (talk) 14:38, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Let me make the above warning even clearer. If you do not engage on why you are making such changes, and continue to do so after this warning, you will be blocked from editing. -- KTC (talk) 15:58, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for making this edit, changing the updated date without changing the content despite multiple previous warnings not to do this. If you wish to be unblocked sooner then you must explain your reasoning for your edits on this page and/or commit to stop making such edits. If, after the block expires, you return to the same behaviour you will be blocked again for a longer duration. Thryduulf (talk) 21:45, 15 July 2018 (UTC). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Nottingham Wildcats moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Nottingham Wildcats, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. New articles generally need at least two (but preferably more) references from reliable sources that are independent of the subject that discuss the subject with significant coverage (trivial mentions do not contribute to notability).^{(See Rule 42)} Information that can't be referenced to reliable sources should be removed from the draft because verifiability is necessary for information added to Wikipedia.
I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of Draft: before the article title) where you can work on the article with minimal disruption from other users while you improve it.
When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready to be published, you can move it back to the article space yourself. However, I recommend that instead of moving it yourself that you follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template that I have added to the page. This submits the article to be reviewed by experienced editors that specialize in helping new editors write their first articles. Edaham (talk) 11:15, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
