[edit]

Information icon Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! — Katie <3 (talk) 23:17, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I realize this is a new account, but you have already made over 350 edits in under a week, a lot of which consists of adding genres and categories to film articles. I would highly suggest you read MOS:FILM closely, including WP:FILMLEAD which demonstrates how genre classifications should be handled. We only place the primary genre or sub-genre in the lead section as it appears in reliable sources (namely, AFI, BFI, or AllMovie). If you have questions or need assistance, a good place to ask is at WT:FILM. Please do not continue inserting unsourced classifications into film articles, and adhere to the recommendations and requirements listed at WP:V and WP:CITE. Thank you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 08:15, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you GoneIn60, I will take note of such advice. --Autumnleaves646 (talk) 14:11, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you have an issue with any edits I have made, please discuss with me either on my talk page or on the article's talk page. I'm confident we can come to a mutual understanding. Back-and-forth reverting in the article is discouraged and can be considered a form of edit-warring, which is not permitted. If you need help, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 13:36, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Shrek. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block.

As the editor making the change, the burden is on you to form consensus for the edit. McDoobAU93 13:52, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your messages but my editing is neither disruptive or incorrect, I have added categories to hundreds of pages to which they belong which were previously absent. Also, I have attempted to discuss things via talk pages. So I intend to keep editing, I rather enjoy it. --Autumnleaves646 (talk) 13:56, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Making multiple reverts to restore you're preferred version is disruptive and will lead to a block, I can assure you. I've responded to your post on my talk page, and the next step (if needed) will be to get third-party feedback at WT:FILM. --GoneIn60 (talk) 14:19, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
