If you are unable to create an account due to your institution's IP address being blocked, follow these instructions. If you are autoblocked repeatedly, contact your network administrator or instructor and request that your school contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on its proxy servers so that blocks will affect only the intended user. Administrators: review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, consider a soft block using ((School block)).

Hello. Switching IP does not help, the warnings that were given to Special:Contributions/192.76.8.73 apply to you as a person, regardless of which IP you switch to, and could lead to a considerable number of IPs at Oxford Uni being blocked from editing. Which will hardly make you popular among fellow students... - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 11:44, 3 July 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Lancaster City F.C., you may be blocked from editing. Mattythewhite (talk) 23:29, 23 July 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Hello. Your recent edit to 1997 appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Hello, I'm CLCStudent. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been disallowed by an edit filter because they did not appear constructive. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page, which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Also feel free to ask for assistance at the Help Desk whenever you like to. Thank you. CLCStudent (talk) 12:54, 31 October 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

	The Original Barnstar
	Thanks for figuring this out. It was a pretty tough problem for me to try to figure out, but you beat me to it. weeklyd3 (message me | my contributions) 21:03, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You are edit warring a tag that was not confirmed. The COI tag was incorrect and not confirmed in the discussion. Wikipedia does not keep the wrong tag on an article in perpetuity. I am asking you to revert yourself. Lightburst (talk) 01:37, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Lightburst (talk) 01:50, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	Your vigilance against issues that fall through the cracks is, as always, appreciated, Oxford. Admin's barnstar next? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 17:16, 6 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Jamiebuba was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ovshinsky Lectureship Award and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, 192.76.8.85. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Ovshinsky Lectureship Award, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 12:38, 2 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, 192.76.8.85. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Ovshinsky Lectureship Award".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:17, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I'm Wikipedialuva. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Mark Williams (organist), 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. 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. Thank you. Wikipedialuva (talk) 21:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Mark Williams (organist), 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. Dirkbb (talk) 21:50, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
