Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Political party strength in Connecticut, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chris Murphy (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.

Thanks for uploading File:MagicISO Icon.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:37, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:MagicISO Icon.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. B (talk) 22:42, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Just wanted to note that templates like ((agree))
are mostly intended for closing discussions. It's not really for discussions trying to come to a consensus or for !voting—at least on en-wikipedia as other wikis might use an equivalent to ((support))
and ((oppose))
. If you want to see symbols in !voting/RfC discussions consider using User:Ais523's votesymbols.js. See Wikipedia:Deletion review/Perennial requests#Template:Support and Wikipedia:User scripts. PaleAqua (talk) 14:19, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
I know there is an ongoing discussion, but I wanted to give you a heads up that you're close to violating WP:3RR on Microsoft Surface. agtx 19:23, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Microsoft Surface. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. PaleAqua (talk) 19:40, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
Hey, I just wanted to encourage you to use the Preview button more, before submitting your edits. Specifically on Talk:Microsoft Surface, I notice you tend to follow up your responses with a number of incremental edits, which a) make it hard to reply without ending up with an edit conflict, and b) clog up the page history. So if you could take the time for proofreading and rewording before submitting your edit, rather than after, that would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time!

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Ians18 (talk) 06:50, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
When it's a list, that has enough context or listed next to Surface 2. You're the one calling me names. Besides Wikipedia is a community of humans not a community of bots. I don't hate you, but I'm annoyed that you would result to edit warring and vandalism after we've reached consensus. Remember, the community together decided, not just me. However, you are the only one in a handful of editors that wants it called Surface RT for some reason.Ians18 (talk) 07:28, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Your recent editing history at Stoneman Douglas High School shooting shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

This is a clear WP:AGF violation and approaches a WP:NPA violation. This was wholly inappropriate, as it's routine to join a survey after it's started even if you've already made your position clear in open discussion. That's the point of the survey format. I'll ask you to discuss content and not editors, and stop trying to start shit on that talk page. ―Mandruss ☎ 02:59, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Per WP:BRD, please don't edit war on this, and get a consensus before spamming this new category into multiple articles.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 05:19, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

The file File:Illegal operation.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
unused, low-res, no obvious use
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated files))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated files))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in governmental regulation of firearm ownership; the social, historical and political context of such regulation; and the people and organizations associated with these issues. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Please tell me you did not just inform users who support inclusion in your mass message (in itself, problematic) — the only ones I recognize are ones who do. I hope you have not just tainted the proposal with canvassing before it even began. El_C 17:29, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
"done with a Biased message, sent to Partisan editors, and in Mass"? Wouldn't both sides be expected to massively contact partisans using biased language? Wouldn't it balance out? We have a policy (WP:CANVAS) so we are required to follow it. But I'm questioning the wisdom of it. Bus stop (talk) 00:14, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Powerpoint Mobile 2010.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ★ Bigr Tex 21:18, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
