Tip of the day...

What writing style to use

Wikipedia articles are composed and formatted according to the Manual of Style (MOS). MOS sets the house standard on Wikipedia for attributes like link formatting, capitalization, punctuation, and sections. MOS includes guidelines for biographies, citations, titles, dates and numbers, proper names, and many other stylistic details.

Some examples of the elements of style in the MOS are:

Article titles‍—‌use normal body text capitalization for titles (beginning letter, capitalize proper nouns, etc.), and apply the singular form in titles wherever possible.
Capitalization‍—‌do not capitalize all words in section headings, or non-proper nouns
Link placement‍—‌list external links in their own section at the bottom of an article
Punctuation‍—‌remember the serial comma (Oxford comma) and logical quotes
Sections‍—‌an informative lead section is important. See also a user-written lead creation essay.

To place the MOS template at the right on your User page for easy reference, edit your User page and copy/paste: {{style}} (including the curly braces).

Please follow the MOS guidelines when you update an article.

Alicia Aylies image

Why did you remove the image, please? --GRuban (talk) 13:36, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What do you have against the photo? Please explain, rather than just removing. --GRuban (talk) 12:51, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Taurus, please, explain why you are removing the photo. If we talk it through, maybe we can reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion, or at least a compromise. If you just keep removing without discussing, I'm going to have to take this to administrators for action with their tools. --GRuban (talk) 14:40, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

October 2017

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that in this edit to Weronika Szmajdzińska, 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. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:31, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Miss Polonia, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. NewYorkActuary (talk) 03:48, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Miss Universe 2017. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been 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. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 12:37, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Serbia at major beauty pageants

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Taurus2017, thanks for creating Serbia at major beauty pageants!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This has been tagged as of doubtful notability.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

- @Berean Hunter: This looks a lot like Dyhp612 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki). I also found another suspicious account, Nguyenquochieu2107 (talk · contribs). Thanks, GAB^gab 22:42, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

GAB, Nguyenquochieu2107 is unrelated to the above. Behaviorally, it looks like that SPI could be correct for these confirmed socks and yes, I see an entry in the CU log which shows the same IP ranges.
