[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello, and thank you
for your recent contribution#s#. I appreciate the effort
you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to
undo your edit#s# because I believe the article was
better before you made that change. Feel free to
contact me directly if you have any questions.
Thank you! ~~~~
COMMON: Unsourced content
edit==Recent edit#s# to [[#a#]]==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello,
and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a
change to an article, [[#a#]], but you didn't provide
a [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable source]].
It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to
[[Wikipedia:Citing sources|include a citation]] and
re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on
referencing, please see the
[[Help:Referencing for beginners|referencing for beginners]]
tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave
me a message on my talk page. Thank you! ~~~~
COMMON: Blanking/removal of content
edit==Recent edit#s# to [[#a#]]==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello, and welcome to
Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content
from [[#a#]] without explaining why. In the future, it
would be helpful to others if you described your changes
to Wikipedia with an accurate [[Help:Edit summary|edit
summary]]. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored
the removed content. If you would like to experiment,
please use the [[WP:Sandbox|sandbox]]. If you think I
made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can
leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! ~~~~
COMMON: Puffery or promotion
edit==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello. I noticed that
you made an edit that introduces praise or promotional
language to the [[#a#]] article. On Wikipedia, we adhere
to a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view (NPOV)]] and avoid
promotional language or puffery. Please read the NPOV
policy page, as well as [[Wikipedia:Manual of
Style/Words to watch|this page of language to avoid]] to
better understand how to expand this article in a style
suitable to an encyclopedia. If you have questions,
please see [[Wikipedia:Help desk|the Help Desk page]].
Thank you! ~~~~
TOOMUCH: Non-notable list entry
edit==Recent edit#s# to [[#a#]]==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello, and welcome to
Wikipedia. Your recent edit#s# to [[#a#]] added the name
of an apparently non-notable entity. In general,
a person or organization added to a list
[[Wikipedia:NLIST|should have]] a pre-existing article
to establish notability. If you wish to create such
an article, please confirm that your subject is
notable according to Wikipedia's
[[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]] guideline.
Thank you! ~~~~
TOOMUCH: Un-encyclopedic details
edit==Recent edit#s# to [[#a#]]==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello, and thank you for
your recent contribution#s#. While the content of your edit#s#
may be true, I have removed it because its depth or
nature of detail are not consistent with our objectives
as an encyclopedia. I recognize that your edit was made
in good faith and hope you will familiarize yourself
with [[WP:NOT|what Wikipedia is not]] so we may
collaborate in the future. Thank you! ~~~~
TOOMUCH: Talk in article
edit==Recent edit#s# to [[#a#]]==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello, and thank you
for your contribution#s# to Wikipedia. I noticed that
you recently added commentary to the [[#a#]] article. While
Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and
how it could be changed, these comments are more
appropriate for the article's accompanying
[[Help:Talk page|talk page]]. If you post your comments
there, other [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|editors]] working
on the same article will notice and respond to them,
and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the
article. Thank you! ~~~~
TOOMUCH: Inappropriate external links
edit==Recent edit#s# to [[#a#]]==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello, and welcome to
Wikipedia. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or
more external links you added to the [[#a#]] article,
because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia.
You may find our [[Wikipedia:External links|linking
guidelines]] helpful in this regard. If you think I made
a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me
a message on my talk page. Thank you! ~~~~
NONSENSE: Test edit
edit==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello. I noticed that
you recently made a contribution to the [[#a#]] article
that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! However, test
edits on live articles disrupt Wikipedia and may confuse
readers. If you want more practice editing, the
[[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]] is the best place to do so.
If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any
questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
Thank you! ~~~~
NONSENSE: Joke edit
edit==Recent edit#s# to [[#a#]]==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]]
[[Wikipedia:Introduction|Welcome]], and thank you for
your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is
an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be
serious, so please don't make joke edits as you did
to [[#a#]]. Readers looking for accurate information will
not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment
with editing, try the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]],
where you are given a good deal of freedom in what
you write. Thank you! ~~~~
NONSENSE: Non-English contributions
edit==Recent edit#s# to [[#a#]]==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Thank you for your
contribution#s# to Wikipedia. I noticed that you have
posted content to the [[#a#]] article in a language other
than English. When on the English-language Wikipedia,
please always use English. Thank you! ~~~~
LEGAL: Uncited BLP change
edit==Recent edit#s# to #a#==\n
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello. I noticed that you
made an edit to a biography of a living person ([[#a#]]),
but that you didn't support your changes with a citation
to a [[WP:RS|reliable source]]. Wikipedia has a strict
policy concerning [[WP:BLP|how we write about living
people]], so please help us keep such articles accurate.
If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any
questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
Thank you! ~~~~
