December 2011

Hello and welcome! I notice that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, but didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. We are very careful how we treat people who may be harmed by what we say, so please help us keep such articles accurate. Thank you! Template:Z110Calabe1992 05:32, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Misplaced Pages, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Fernando Torres, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Josh McEachran, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Winner (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article 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) 10:31, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

May 2012

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Ashley Young, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

June 2012

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Andy Carroll. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Jamaal Lascelles, makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:00, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Jamaal Lascelles. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:03, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Kieron Freeman, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Misplaced Pages Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:04, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Career statistics tables

If you'd like to explain why you're continually adding incorrectly formatted tables you're welcome to do so at Talk:Chris Cohen#Career statistics table. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 16:27, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Chris Cohen. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:29, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
