Edits adding or changing punctuation

Please stop, or seriously reconsider, making edits to change punctuation in articles. Many of your edits have incorrectly applied punctuation, especially the addition of commas where they are not needed. Thank you. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 13:39, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Biggiepopa, please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's Manual of Style before making further edits.

I believe you are honestly trying to make improvements, but you are creating more work for other editors. If I can help, please let me know. Thanks. Jessicapierce (talk) 01:34, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Shellwood. I noticed that in this edit to Godswill Akpabio, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 21:47, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fireboy

Several incorrect speedy notifications and warnings

Speedy deletion nomination of Fireboy DML

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Fireboy DML requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fireboy DML. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Fireboy DML, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. The page was deleted following a deletion discussion, please stop recreating it. creffett (talk) 16:13, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Biggiepopa, sorry to see you've gotten so many incorrect messages over and over again, the reason is that you were the first author of the new version of the article.
