Disambiguation link notification for March 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Georg F. W. Schaeffler, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Continental (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.

Poor sources

Wow, you have a ton of messages in your talk page history explaining what constitutes a reliable source, yet I've had to revert your edits to both Vishakha Singh and Sara Loren as the websites you linked don't meet the reliable sourcing criteria for WP:BLPs. Please ensure you review the links provided here prior to adding any additional biographical statistics to articles. Also please remember that when you blank the comments of others from your talk page it means that you've read and understand them.--Jezebel's Ponyo 19:06, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Edit summarys

Hi Cruks,
Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! 220 of 02:32, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Ok, I will. Cruks (talk) 09:38, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

July 2015

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Morgan Schneiderlin. 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 that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
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. JMHamo (talk) 16:47, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

WP:LEAD

The lead section of an article is supposed to be a summary of the entire article. We mention his place of birth in the lead because it is relevant to the club where he began his career; you can't call RC Strasbourg his local club without mentioning the place that it's local to. We then mention it in the body of the article because it is part of his biography; he was born in Zellwiller, then he played for Strasbourg. – PeeJay 19:06, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
