Information icon Hello, I'm Peaceray. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Colette Maze have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. There were problems with adding the Video link. First, it was not a real citation. You linked to a site that happened to link to a YouTube video about Colette Maze. Because you could have posted the direct link to the YouTube video, it appears that you may have been actually promoting the Advance Style website instead. The second problem was inserting a footnote in the lead sentence. This was not in accordance with the guidance at MOS:CITELEAD. The YouTube video link itsel really belongs in the External links section. I have taken care of adding it there. Peaceray (talk) 17:01, 28 January 2023 (UTC) Reply

- I did check. Did you not post www
.advanced ? You could have linked directly to the YouTube video. Instead, it appears that you were possibly promoting Advanced Style. Peaceray (talk) 00:44, 6 February 2023 (UTC) Reply.style /video - No. Not me. MisterP93 (talk) 22:57, 7 March 2023 (UTC) Reply

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. In particular, for living artists use the format (born yyyy) and for deceased artists use (yyyy–yyyy) -- please note that is a long or em dash. Also, names are listed alphabetically rather than dropped randomly in a list. It is easy to see this all being done in the list you were editing. freshacconci (✉) 15:09, 17 February 2023 (UTC) Reply
Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Derek Michael Besant, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. freshacconci (✉) 02:09, 18 February 2023 (UTC) Reply
Rather than litter a page with numerous citation needed tags, it is best practice now to add a tag at the top advising further citations are needed. The in-text citation needed tags tend to get ignored or are not noticed. If you need to point out specific instances, either fix the problem yourself, or use the talk page to make suggestions (include specifics and be clear of which sentence or section needs a citation). Thank you. freshacconci (✉) 15:20, 17 February 2023 (UTC) Reply
- I would also recommend that, should you wish to do inline citation needed tags, that you use {{citation needed }} so that they are actually noticeable. Please also note that the content in lead paragraphs do not require inline citations, so long as the material is sourced within the article body itself and that lead sections have a maximum length of 4 paragraphs. TheSandDoctor Talk 02:37, 30 August 2023 (UTC) Reply
- I just wanted to add that a lead section must also adequately summarize an article's content. Longer articles, by necessity, generally require 3-4 lengthier paragraphs to summarize this adequately. Articles that have been rated as featured articles are some of the best that Wikipedia has to offer readers, as determined by extensive peer review. While I appreciate your enthusiasm for editing, vast, sweeping changes (especially those involving a large amount of content removal) should ideally be discussed first on the article's talk page. This applies more generally, especially as a newer editor, but also especially to articles currently linked on the Main page (home page), Features Articles, and Good Articles (in roughly that order of significance). --TheSandDoctor Talk 02:47, 30 August 2023 (UTC) Reply
Information icon Hi MisterP93! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Jeff Wall that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Information icon Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in List of Canadian women artists. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. freshacconci (✉) 10:41, 30 August 2023 (UTC) Reply
Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page List of Canadian artists, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
- A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can List_of_Canadian_artists&preloadparams%5b%5d=1209785671"}]]}">report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 16:01, 23 February 2024 (UTC) Reply
Information icon Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page List of Canadian artists has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. You've repeatedly stated "added citations" in the edit summaries of several of your edits. As far as I can tell, you have not added any citations. Please use accurate edit summaries: if you're adding a name to the list, say so. If you're adding the artist's medium to the list, say so. Otherwise it's confusing to other editors. freshacconci (✉) 00:39, 25 February 2024 (UTC) Reply
You've been asked before: please don't add [citation needed] to articles. That's not the proper format. It's tedious to constantly revert your edits and it's a waste of your time. freshacconci (✉) 19:07, 25 February 2024 (UTC) Reply
Again, you've been asked to not do this. You need to provide accurate edit summaries. You continually state you "added citations" when you add a name. Listing a name is not a citation. If you don't know what a citation is, please look it up under Wikipedia guidelines. Edit summaries are used to let other editors know what edits have been performed. Using inaccurate edit summaries makes this difficult for other editors.
Please read WP:CITE which will tell you what citations are. freshacconci (✉) 19:19, 25 February 2024 (UTC) Reply
Hello, I'm JalenFolf. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Grace Eiko Thomson, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please 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. Thanks. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 16:44, 13 July 2024 (UTC) Reply
- An addendum to this, all claims of death must be backed by reliable sources. We cannot accept blind claims like you have tried to insert again into this article. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 04:21, 14 July 2024 (UTC) Reply

A substantial proportion of your edits have been reverted and many of the rest have been flagged here as problematic. I'm not complaining about a single edit but instead, the totality of your contributions. Please stop and take the time to read and understand WP:5P and the associated links. You are in danger of being blocked from editing if this continues. --Yamla (talk) 16:04, 11 September 2025 (UTC) Reply

Thanks for your contributions to Cathy Auld (community activist). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. AriuCH (talk) 13:26, 1 October 2026 (UTC) Reply

You kept Facebook as a reference. Interesting buut invalid decision.
Phraseology such as "In Bar (publication) Foo (author) states (subject of the draft) was (thing stated)" is both lazy writing and useless to Wikipedia. Instead please write in your own words what is said by Foo in Bar about the subject.
This draft is a paean of praise. I had to check for a date of death because it reads like a memorial, and WP:NOTMEMORIAL applies for a living or deceased person alike.
If Auld's parents have notability then separate article will exist. Please do not pad this with their achievements
Too heavy on the quotations. That is what references are fo
If you can show that Auld passes WP:BIO then please read and apply MOS:HEAD. If you cannto show this then it is time to stop. If you decide to carry on please remember that your only objective is to demonastart and verify notability. A serious précis can assist thatNext steps
