Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Template:Arsenal F.C. squad without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. 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, Mattythewhite (talk) 13:11, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Serj Tankian, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Reading (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Greetings Bright, perhaps I should mention that the national flags question on the Great War pages is a perennial. Numerous drive-bys occur when people try to put British colonial and Dominion symbols into the infobox (as if Australia for example was a sovereign state). British dominions weren't states until 1931 and so their citizens were British subjects, with British passports during the Great War. If that seems to be a quibble, note that Germany was a federal state so putting seperate flagicons in for India and New Zealand is not enough, there would need to be similar ones for Saxony and Bavaria etc. France and Belgium were also empires in which the metropole plundered the colonies for resources before and during the war, while excluding the Central Powers from their colonies. None of the Entente powers could have made the military effort they did if their colonies had self-determination. I would be grateful if you restored the imperial status of France and Belgium accordingly. PS notice that British, French and Belgian behaviour in their African colonies make the German devastation of the area behind the Somme they abandoned in 1917 look like a birthday present.Keith-264 (talk) 08:30, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Bright Darkness, I noticed your recent reverts on the WW2 template. You say the edits lack consensus, but in what do you base that? and might I not mention you are new on Wikipedia? Please give good reasons for you reverts. Thank you. (69.255.225.227 (talk) 23:45, 24 February 2013 (UTC))
Hello, I've just undone your recent change to the article's infobox as the article itself notes that there are differing views of the results of this campaign, and no consensus on the matter among historians (please refer to Gallipoli Campaign#Military repercussions). Regards, Nick-D (talk) 09:56, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey Bright Darkness
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Willian Borges da Silva, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 15:25, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Greetings. Because you participated in the August 2013 move request regarding this subject, you may be interested in participating in the current discussion. This notice is provided pursuant to Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate notification. Cheers! bd2412 T 21:31, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Based on Wikipedia policies and guidlines we should not provide livescores, based on WP:LIVESCORES and WT:FOOTY consensus here. Has also been discussed many more times. If you keep adding this your edits will be considered disruptive and you may be blocked. Please wait until matches are finished. Thank you. QED237 (talk) 13:01, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
Please read Talk:2013–14 Liverpool F.C. season, there everything is explained. There are no such things as rounds in Premier League, which is why we use results by matchday. That is why we list the league position of every team as they were when all games that day ended. All matches has ended today and Chelsea are second in the table. Aslo look at the source that has Chelsea second after matchday 16. QED237 (talk) 23:00, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to 2013–14 Chelsea F.C. season, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. I have told you before. No livescore or live updates QED237 (talk) 21:07, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that when making updates like this you must update the timestamps, which you failed both on "results by matchday" and "results summary". This so that other editors know a change is made, otherwise others may come and add same results again. Thank you. QED237 (talk) 23:27, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I do not think System of a Down has enough progressive elements in order to be considered progressive rock as one of it's main subgenres, and I think it's something of a misrepresentation to classify them as it. I put this on your talk in hopes of coming to an understanding more so than to "win" over a silly editing fight. What is your justification?

Hi,
May I ask reason for creating Template:Fb round2 2014–15 FL Cup W as i am considering putting it up for deletion? We have never as far as I know created a template special for winners only to be used at one single article. Instead we fix the golded background per Template:Fb overall2 competition documentation. QED237 (talk) 23:43, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Template:Fb round2 2014–15 FL Cup W requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>((substituted))</noinclude>
).
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
