editHello, I'm BilCat. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15, but you didn't 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! 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.

editHello, I'm Shellwood. I noticed that in this edit to Operation Bellicose, 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) 20:01, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

editPlease refrain from using talk pages for general discussion of the topic or other unrelated topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. This applies to several recent edits of yours. Doug Weller talk 19:16, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Waterloo (1970 film). Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 19:17, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

editHello, I'm The Banner. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:BOAC Flight 777 that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. The Banner talk 20:14, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

editThanks for taking the trouble to comment on the talk page, you've saved me the rouble of putting a lot more from Fishman in then having to take it out. Regards. Keith-264 (talk) 12:48, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've got a copy of Lyman's book now and at a glance looks superior to Fishman, certainly enough to take precedence. Regards Keith-264 (talk) 11:00, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Susie Green are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks. DanielRigal (talk) 19:22, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
- DanielRigal, you may have noticed that this editor has been blocked before, and seems to enjoy chatting on talk pages more than actually editing articles. I note also that they are completely uncooperative in terms of leaving edit summaries and responding to comments on their own talk page. Do you have any thoughts on this? PS I revdeleted the edits you warned them about after I saw your edit summary. Drmies (talk) 19:50, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

editI see that another editor reverted your comment on the talk page. If you provide some examples where the article is not compliant with our policy, that will be much harder to justify reverting. I think there is a discussion to be had here. All good wishes, Springnuts (talk) 23:03, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
