Hello, I'm Skipple. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Cruel Summer (Taylor Swift song) seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Skipple ☎ 03:01, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Cruel Summer (Taylor Swift song), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. If we are going to characterise the song, we will need multiple reliable sources which describe the song in this fashion. See the Critical Reception section of the article. Otherwise, this is a singular point of view. - Skipple ☎ 03:13, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi KillaTrav87! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Kevin McCarthy several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Kevin McCarthy, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Noah, AATalk 21:41, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hello, Wikipedia moderators. I'm a new editor to Wikipedia (5 days old) and I added an announcement banner to the Kevin McCarthy page to signify the historical significance of the event. As you can see from my edit history, all of my edits have been in good faith and I was not aware of the three-revert rule. I understand my ban was only for a day, but I'd like to be unbanned immediately to help continue making Wikipedia the number one source for Internet users' desire to stay updated with current events. Thank you - KillaTrav87
Accept reason:
You are blocked, not banned, the two words have different meanings on Wikipedia. What will you do to avoid edit warring in the future? 331dot (talk) 22:42, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Kevin McCarthy shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
A more formal warning that explains the process better. Jasper Deng (talk) 18:39, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi KillaTrav87, the focus in this talk page so far has been about the way that you have edited (e.g., the three-revert rule), and in addition I'd like to give you some constructive feedback on the content of your edit.
Your addition of the ((Announcement panel)) template to the top of the Kevin McCarthy article has now been reverted five times by five different editors: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. You should take this as a clear indication that other editors do not think that your edit is appropriate.
Why is this edit inappropriate? Here are some reasons, in my opinion:
There may be other reasons that editors feel that the content of your edit is inappropriate; I won't pretend to speak for everyone here. But I think it is clear that you are attempting to make a change that many other editors disapprove of. Consensus is crucial to the success of Wikipedia, and the core issue here is that you are insistently attempting to make a significant change that does not have consensus. That behavior is disruptive, and that is the underlying reason that you have been blocked twice now.
When you are unblocked, you must not attempt to make the same edit again. You may start a discussion on the article's talk page, Talk:Kevin McCarthy, if you would like to discuss the merits of your edit and attempt to build consensus. But I believe that the consensus of the community is opposed to the edit you are trying to make, and if so, then you need to accept that consensus and stop trying to make the edit anyway.
I am happy that you have recently joined Wikipedia, and I hope that you will contribute for many years to come. Please let me know if you have questions. —Bkell (talk) 23:58, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:41, 9 December 2023 (UTC) Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Vultures 1. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. — BarrelProof (talk) 01:55, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I'm GorillaWarfare. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Carnival (Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign song), 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. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 02:15, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Your edit to Association football has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder.

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Association football, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Mattythewhite (talk) 18:53, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, KillaTrav87. I noticed that your recent edit to Association football added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images.

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Real Kakamora F.C. at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step III of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with ((db-g7)), or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 01:28, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, KillaTrav87. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Real Kakamora F.C., you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Struway2 (talk) 18:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I removed the nickname because there's no source in the article to confirm its use, and I couldn't find any mention of that nickname on any Solomon Islands-related media. If you supply a reference to a reliable published source that confirms its use, it can go back in. Without a source, it can't. As to the logo, you uploaded that yourself as your own work. There's no evidence for its use by the club, and so we're misleading our readers if we show them a logo that cannot be demonstrated in reliable sources to be that of the club.
I'm aware of your statement at User talk:Mattythewhite#What is your problem? that you're an employee of Real Kakamora FC. If that's so, then I suggest you read the notice above headed #Managing a conflict of interest.
Wikipedia isn't a free webhost for that club or its volunteers to use for promotional purposes. Struway2 (talk) 18:14, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
