Please leave wp:edit summaries especially when removing content. Also, see help:referencing for beginners and help:footnotes. If someone leaves a warning on your page, it might be a good idea to address it. You should reply on your page and wp:ping the user such as (for me) {{ping|Jim1138}} "Question: ...?" ~~~~ The notification "{{ping|Jim1138}}" and your signature "~~~~" must be saved (Save page) at the same time or it probably won't work.

August 2016

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Misplaced Pages page, as you did at Eazy-E. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Misplaced Pages policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Mlpearc (open channel) 03:21, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Eazy-E. Mlpearc (open channel) 03:30, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did at Akshay Kumar. - Managerarc™ 01:31, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Unblocking, per AGF. Widr (talk) 21:32, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

• I have unblocked you now. Please try to use edit summaries more frequently in future to avoid misunderstandings. Widr (talk) 21:38, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

November 2016

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Grover Cleveland. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Tom (North Shoreman) (talk) 17:01, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

I did NOT vandalize any pages for any reason.Thenabster126 (talk) 22:45, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Edit comments

I just saw your edit comment on Woodrow Wilson. I don't know what went on before, but I'll comment on a few things:

• Making edits without edit comments predisposes reviewers to thinking them malicious.
• Making edits with aggressive comments like Not vandalism. If so, please explain, instead of being a jerk. attracts even more negative attention.
• Adding "his death (date)" to marriage dates is unnecessary and will probably be removed. When a spouse is listed, if there isn't a date for divorce or death, the assumption is that the marriage lasted until the principal died (and that date will already be listed). The exception is when a person has many marriages (e.g., Henry VIII), then indicating specifically which marriage ended with his own death is worthwhile.

Sorry if I was being aggressive. However, Misplaced Pages has many people who are rude to each other. Thenabster126 (talk) 22:02, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

The point is, your edit comment should describe what you are doing. Saying it isn't something isn't helpful, and making pre-emptive insults will result in aggressive responses. To paraphrase, you reap what you sow. Tarl N. (discuss) 00:31, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice.Thenabster126 (talk) 01:30, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. An edit that you recently made to Joseph Stalin ‎ seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Materialscientist (talk) 06:43, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

AIV

Please explain your recent reverts at AIV. All of them, during several days. Widr (talk) 19:29, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm so sorry if I confused anyone. I thought these were true vandalism. I did not mean to ironically pvandalize anything. Thenabster126 (talk) 19:41, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

August 2017

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Criss Angel. Blanking the warning does not remove it from your history. You have been warned multiple times about unsourced edits, you were blocked for it recently, and you made three more unsourced or improperly sourced edits since your level three warning two days ago. Meters (talk) 23:38, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

I sourced it now. The article says he made his "prime time television debut" as a magician in 1994.Thenabster126 (talk) 22:36, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Please tell me what's wrong with the source. I have no malicious intentions, Thenabster126 (talk) 23:12, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
