[edit] Hello, I'm The1337gamer. I noticed that you made a change to an article, FIFA Football 2005, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Please note that the verifiability policy mandates that unsourced material that has been challenged, such as by a "fact" tag, or by its removal, may not be added back without a reliable, published source being cited for the content, using an inline citation. The cited source must clearly support the material as presented in the article, and the burden is on the person wishing to keep in the disputed material. So if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so, following these requirements! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

[edit] Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. In addition to including citations within text, please remember that fan-made wikis (including anything from Wikia) are not viable as references since they're full of user-generated content where pretty much anyone can insert anything without concern for accuracy. See WP:Identifying reliable sources#User-generated content for more. Snuggums (talk / edits) 18:48, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I'm SNUGGUMS. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Kurt Cobain. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Jim1138 (talk) 03:42, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Let's end the Bratz dispute on List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network once and for all. After hours of digging online, I could literally find no sourcea for the show airing on CN in the US, but I DID manage to find THIS: http://www.giftsanddec.com/article/407080-bratz-joins-the-4kids-tv-lineup
It aired on CN in Latin America, but not in the US. Until you can find a source verifying it aired in the US (not to mention, I was WATCHING CN in 2005 and 2008, and I don't recall it being on), then by all means, add it. Until then, let's keep it off the list.

[edit]![⚠](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Ambox_warning_blue.svg/35px-Ambox_warning_blue.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Enjoy Yourself US cover 1989.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:39, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Cardcaptor Sakura, you may be blocked from editing. —Farix (t | c) 13:46, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Your recent edits
[edit]Before editing any more pop music articles, please consider whether you're making things more wordy than they need to be. You seem to be specializing in adding unnecessary bits of text when any reader would be able to gather as much from what was already there. You do not need to add things like "in ten years" to "First release in ten years since Album (2009)". We know it's been 10 years after 2009 is said, we can all count. Prose in the lead does not need to be more wordy, it should be concise and to the point. Other edits you've made are just baffling. Wii Fit U is a "direct sequel" to the preceding Wii Fit games? That's unintentionally funny because you're making it sound like it's continuing a storyline when it's a fitness game. It's an update to a fitness tool. As for your edits on Leslie Carter and her album, the album was unreleased. We don't add intended years of release in the infobox's year parameter when it was not released. Thank you.

[edit] Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Descendants 3. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:03, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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 and 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. The Grand Delusion(Send a message) 00:47, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
![Stop icon](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f1/Stop_hand_nuvola.svg/30px-Stop_hand_nuvola.svg.png)
Your recent editing history at List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You must provide a reliable source before continuing to reinstate your preferred revision. Simply saying that Cartoon Network is credited in the intro in the edit summary is not enough. Per WP:V, content must be verifiable by external sources. Additionally, inline citations must be provided to support the claim. The Grand Delusion(Send a message) 21:20, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

[edit]Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
[edit]Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Señorita
[edit]Hi. Señorita originally was never part of Romance as you can see on several sources. Then, it was included on december maybe because her previosly singles failed to enter the top 40 on US. It's not considered an official single from her album per sources, similar to PostMalone's album and Selena's Rare. Before editing again, discuss on talk page please.

[edit]I just noticed your edit in February of this year to Aaron Carter (album), where in an edit summary, obviously in reference to my edit several months prior, you questioned how a passage regarding that the album had been labeled "Explicit" on iTunes was "trivial". It's trivial because it doesn't affect or even influence a reader's understanding of the topic. You can debate that if you like, but what you can't debate is that the statement is unsourced and there isn't a source out there for it—I would add that it was not covered in news because it is a trivial tidbit about the album. Please do not reinstate unsourced statements, even if you think they're not trivial. See WP:V. If you wish to reply, please do so in this section. Thank you. Ss112 13:25, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. I appreciate that you want to keep this article, but surely you see that there is a reason to delete it, right? It's been unsourced (in violation of a core policy, WP:V) since 2010 and there is no indication that it passes Wikipedia's notability requirements for albums, see WP:NALBUMS. So redirecting to the discography is the best solution here. If you still disagree, I can nominate the article for deletion and let the community decide. Lennart97 (talk) 11:44, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
