Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:10, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Victoria, Texas

Thank you for updating the population on several articles. At Victoria, Texas, you updated demographic information, but did not leave an inline citation to support the edit (sources cannot be left in an edit summary). Please see Help:Referencing for beginners. Are you able to go back to these articles an add an inline citation? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:37, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I don't know how to do that and find the Wikipedia formatting impenetrably complex. I see you or someone else deleted my update; if you think it better to take the time to delete an updated data element rather than to add the cite that I provided yourself, then that's a puzzling bit of logic but to each their own.

KBBB (FM)

Hello, Dmrowell. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page KBBB (FM), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Mlaffs (talk) 23:37, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2024

Hi Dmrowell! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Wilhelm Furtwängler that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Your edit was also reverted because of its promotional and subjective language. If you wish, you may rewrite it in a neutral point-of-view, then add it back to the article. Also, please consider properly citing your source rather than using bare URLs.
