Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Do not make deletions without giving a valid reason. In the case of Cosmos you deletion was inaccurate. Thank you. David J Johnson (talk) 18:04, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
Please take care when moving pages between categories. Many of the categories to which you are adding pages do not exist. Per MOS:CATORDER, An article should never be left with a non-existent (redlinked) category on it. Either the category should be created, or else the link should be removed or changed to a category that does exist.

Hello, I'm SanAnMan. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

((CatAutoTOC)) is only for large categories. If we wanted it on all categories of a certain size then we could get a bot to add it. Please stop adding it to categories with less than 100 pages. It does nothing there but uses resources. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:24, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
I see that you are replacing ((Category TOC)) with ((CatAutoTOC)). Good work, but I have an AWB job doing that, which involves far less effort ... so it's not a good use of your time to do it manually. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:56, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Made in America (Toby Keith song), 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. Amkgp (talk) 18:15, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Zac Brown Band discography, you may be blocked from editing. --Killarnee (T•1•2) 15:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Category:Singlechart_usages_for_latauslista, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. 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. Thank you. --David Tornheim (talk) 13:58, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm CycloneYoris. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of colors (compact), 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 the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. CycloneYoris talk! 19:36, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of colors: G–M, 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. CycloneYoris talk! 19:39, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at List of colors (compact). You've been reverted several times now. Please stop and do not re-add the content until you find proper sources. CycloneYoris talk! 00:05, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
Why are you removing categories from Category:Greatest hits albums by year? E.g. Category:2013 greatest hits albums? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:55, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
I'm also concerned why it is beneficial to replace the year with a template in the category names. You have only been unblocked for a few days. In that time you have accumulated four warnings, been involved in an edit war, and have made a massive number of changes to categories that appear to be controversial. I remind you that you were blocked for persistently making controversial changes to categories. Please stop that activity now and open a discussion to get consensus on it before proceeding. You are extremely close to being blocked again so please exercise caution. SpinningSpark 16:08, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Category:21st-century Scottish women writers. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
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. You broke the parent categories on this page. Please stop. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:00, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Category:Racehorse deaths by year, you removed content without adequately explaining why.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to Category:Deaths by year does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.

I started a thread about your latest edits here at WP:ANI. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 04:47, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Club Seven, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. You may find it helpful to use the gadget HotCat, which tests whether a category exists before saving a change.
You have done similar edits to many other tv-related pages. Please stop. . --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:03, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
