July 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Spoon (band) has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/pages/the-fitted-shirt/45832977910.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 02:18, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to the page Spoon (band) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 02:39, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to Spoon (band). Inappropriate links include links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that serve as advertising or promotion. Thank you. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 02:42, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Spoon (band). If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 02:45, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is your final warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Spoon (band). IronGargoyle (talk) 02:47, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Under the Pink. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. It was released on January 31 in the UK. The US date does not matter. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 02:17, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I didn't realize that 'UTP' was released on 1/31/94 in the UK, as opposed to 2/1/94, when it was released in the US (as noted on the entry for 'UTP' on Discogs and further evidenced by Green Day's 'Dookie', released on the same day in the US). There was no specification made on the 'UTP' Wiki page. I disagree about whether it matters though. Many Wiki entries for music albums specify UK and US release dates, and I think the same should apply here. Take care. 2601:18C:8C80:2FF8:EDBE:128:B257:132D (talk) 02:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Twentieth Century (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New York. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 05:58, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

December 2024

Hello, I'm Picard's Facepalm. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't properly provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please note that reference citations are to be placed in the article itself, adjacent to the section for which it is being referenced. See WP:CITE for information. Additionally, please do not use IMDB as a source for citations. It is not considered a reliable source. You can read more about that specifically at WP:IMDB. Please revert or add a {citation needed} tag to all your recent edits in which you employed this type of referencing. Thanks. --Picard's Facepalm • ^{Made It So} _Engage! • 20:10, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Three Days of the Condor, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please read WP:UGC and especially WP:IMDB for more details.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! CurryTime7-24 (talk) 01:15, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
