Welcome![edit]

Hello, Travelgeekg, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see:

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Bon courage (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uw-spam1[edit]

Hello, I'm Mitch Ames. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. In particular, given that much of the text you have recently added is using a single blog as a reference, it looks a lot like citation spam. Mitch Ames (talk) 06:56, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit reversion[edit]

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk) 13:38, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not a recipe book[edit]

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 Rose water, 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.

In particular, Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal, so "an article should not read like a ... cookbook ... This includes ... recipes". Mitch Ames (talk) 23:33, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Kurdish clothing. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. [3] Annh07 (talk) 14:12, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024[edit]

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 Andhra cuisine, 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, please ask the editors at the Teahouse for advice. Please: (a) do not use melodramatic laudatory adjectives; they are not factual and thus not encyclopedic; and (b) do not capitalise words that are not proper nouns. Names of foods are almost never proper nouns. There are a handful of exceptions when a food name includes a proper noun, but only that specific word is appropriately capitalised (oysters Rockefeller, peach Melba). You clearly mean very well and intend to contribute positively to the encyclopedia, but you are creating a LOT of copyediting work for other editors to decapitalise and remove non-WP:NPOV commentary that is, again, not FACTUAL and thus not appropriate for an encyclopedia. This isn't a travel guide or a forum for promotion of specific cuisine. Thanks for your attention in the future. Julietdeltalima (talk) 18:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
